Oh Boy!

OH boy! Oh Boy! OH BOy! We are having a girl! We are all so exctied. Even Jaden, I had told him about a month ago, you know buddy it might be a girl. He looked really sad, Because he has asked for a baby brother for a long time. But then I reminded him that He wouldn't have to share his room and he liked that idea. Megan at first said she wasn't going to share any of her toys. But now she says, Mom "my new baby sister can play with this doll," or I will give this toy to our new baby.The other morning she ran into my room and said mom " did the baby come out of your tummy yet". So they are getting excited already. The girls have to catch up on both sides of the family. Megan wants to name her Dora, and Jaden picks a new name everyday. Yesterday he liked abby. Any great names out there anyones wants to share.

Aunt Trish and Uncle Mike

Uncle mike and Aunt Trish came to visit us while moving down to San Antonio. We are so excited that they will be closer to us. We had some good times while they were here. As much as you can in Lubbock).We did go bowling and Mike almost broke the bowling bar and Ben rolled megans ball into the lane next to us. It was a sight to see, it was so funny! Trish got to stay a few extra days. Jaden and megan just love her. Especially since she played "Hide and go Seek "every second of the day,oh and tag with the soft basketballs. She is a fun Aunt and fun to be around ...Trish and I got a little scrapbooking in which was so much fun ( thanks Trish).We look forward to seeing them again.

Well, we are not moving to houston anytime soon. But we are hanging in there and know that the lord is watching out for us and he knows whats best.We will keep you posted.

Pink or Blue?

So I had a doctors appointment yesterday , and I was thinking it would be the day we could find out if we are having a boy or girl. Since I am 20 weeks already Yeah!! NO we have to wait until next wed. But that is okay what is another week. Ben doesn't want to find out but the rest of us do. It was still fun to hear the heartbeat and megan really thought that was cool. Does anyone want to put in their predictions?

Happy 2008!

okay so I am due for another post.. I can't believe that it is already the middle of January. We had a great christmas and new years. We missed our families but at the same time it was nice to be home and do our own family traditions. Jaden hardly slept christmas eve and woke up and @ 3:30 telling me "mom santa's been here" ( he definatley takes after ben:) ) Then, we had to wake up megan which it really took her a while to figure out who gave her a new big kitchen. we had a great day relaxing at home.Christmas goes by way too fast though, or maybe I am just getting older. Then, new years we had fun going to our stake dance,HA! it reminded me of going to church dances and that everyone stands around looking at everyone. We finally got out and danced as a family . Megan and Jaden looked so cute together we call them the "cute lil couple". They are always hugging and kissing and I try and take as many pictures as I can because I know one day they won't be that affectionate.

Shortly after the new year Ben flew to houston for an interview for a job in FP. Which went really well and would be a great opportunity for us. We still don't know what will happen yet and our playing the waiting game.But we have faith that everything will work out for the best!

Fall

Happy fall ya all!
I just love fall. we had a great halloween and the kids got lots of candy. Megan was cinderella and jaden was a power ranger. Halloween is my favorite holiday! Megan keeps saying Mom can I have some trick or treats! The weather has been very warm here so it doesn't feel like fall. But the leaves are still falling off the trees.
Things I love about fall
1-pumpkin pie blizards
2-leaves changing colors
3-hot chocolate
4-wearing jackets
Hope everyone is enjoying this time of year as much as I do!
