It's a Girl

Child number 5 and girl number 2 will be here around October 29, 2010. In this picture she is putting a fist over her eyes.
Here is a cute hand.
Here is a little foot. We are glad that she looks healthy. I am living my life's dream and that is to have myself surrounded with little hands and little feet and lots and lots of love.

Birthday Hike

Josh planned the whole day on May 31, his 29th birthday. The highlight of everyone's day by far was the hike to "R" mountain. It took about 20 minutes to get there and about an hour to hike half way up and back.
Sidra had so much fun climbing on the rocks. She is quite the handful because she has no fear and thought she could do what brothers did.
The boys were amazing. I didn't hear a complaint once. This was the adventure that they had been waiting for. There were quite a few slippery spots so we trained the boys on how to just fall on their bums if they kept sliding. That seemed to make them feel more in control. I don't think that we have ever had so much fun together.
Yes, I am about 5 months pregnant, but that didn't stop this mama. It was so much fun. I just love hiking.
We only made it half way up. We would have kept going, but when some other hikers told us that they just had to steer away from a snake we decided to just have lunch and then head back down. Not only was this a great birthday for Josh, but we all had so much fun we didn't want the day to end. Joshua and Daddy we love you!

Our Rexburg Brick Home

This is the shed in our back yard that the children and I just love. It is just so cute and it matches the house.
In our back yard we have a nice deck. We can't wait to have dinners and picnics out here, when it stops raining. The whole back yard is fenced in so that I don't have to worry about the boys playing outside by themselves.
Here is our nice yard in front. The people before us kept the yard nice and easy to maintain.
Here is a picture straight on. We are just renting this house but it feels like our own. It is nice to have more privacy and no one below us.
