It's A Girl!

Can you believe it?!?! We're finally mixing things up a bit and getting a girl in this bunch! When they said it was a girl, Russ doubtfully asked if they were SURE. She said Yes! 100% Sure! We're all very excited. I can't wait to start buying PINK! The boys are excited to have a baby sister because they've determined we already have enough boys in this family. Russ must be at least as excited if not more than the rest of us because he even asked if he could have the ultrasound pictures to hang up at school. So, hooray for the girl! I'm not sure any of us will quite know what to do with her, but hooray!!

Tickle Torture!

Ahhhh! One of the best perks of having kids is having all the tickle torture transferred from me to the kids! Luckily, Cole and Mason LOVE being tickled. Parker isn't much of a fan, only because laughing the slightest bit at any time gives him horrible hiccups, poor kid. Here's a little sample of the fun...

One last chance to play with the cousins (or so we thought). Damon, Allie, and Kyla came over while Krystal and her aunt and cousin finished cleaning the house. They left for their flight right after, but unfortunately missed it (although their luggage made it to Utah), and we got to have another day similar to this one again the next morning. My kids were thrilled! They mention their cousins all the time now and how much they miss them. December seems way too far off for a visit. We'll miss Jeff & Krystal and their family a lot!
