Potty Training...

Need I say more?

The Tie-Breaker

We went to our ultrasound last week and we found out we are going to be having another girl!!! We are pretty excited and Annalyn was really excited. She kept saying throughout the whole thing, "I just know its going to be a girl". All we've heard the last few days is how there is are going to be 3 girls and only 2 boys in the family. Jacob just knows there is a baby and its going to be a sister. But he gives my tummy kisses all the time, so he's a good big brother already.


Here is a glimpse of her little foot...isn't it adorable? So for 4 more months we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of this little one.

Happy Halloween!!!

We hope everyone had a great and fun Halloween!!!

Happy Birthday Cody!

Cody turned 29 yesterday...Happy Birthday Cody! The kids each picked out a present for him and wrapped it themselves and they were so excited when he came home from work early so they could give him their presents.

We love you and hope you had a great day sweetie!!!

Cody + Axe = No stitches

We had quite the adventure last Saturday...

Let's see...where do I begin?

We're are up by Trial Lake (the same place we went camping over Labor Day weekend), Cody and his brother Chad are cutting down logs to sell as firewood this fall, the kids and I are hanging out in a little area AWAY from the cutting, and everything is going well. Anna is pretending to cut down wood with her "chainsaw"...

Jake actually brought his chainsaw (permission came from his father) to cut down wood and he loved it! It was actually really cute to watch him try to cut down those huge trees. Anyway back to the story...

So everything is fine and then I am abruptly reminded of who I married and his medical history...

Guesses anyone?

Well Cody couldn't find his axe for a minute...............oh wait! It was in his leg!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would you like to know why there are no stitches? Well, anyone who knows my husband will know he's not a big fan of emergency rooms. It is a bad cut and he should have had stitches, but luckily it went on a slant to the side and not straight down, thanks to the bone in his shin. By the time we got home that night it was too late for stitches anyway and we had butterflied it really well (thank you Chad for your first aid skills!) It has sealed up pretty good and it doesn't look like there's any infection, yet...and hopefully it will stay that way. So he's okay, I'm just so grateful it wasn't any worse since we're miles and miles from any kind of help.

Anyway so if anyone is looking for some firewood this winter, please call us! We have a lot since there was no rushed trip to get stitches (can you sense my sarcasm?)
