Our new baby boy!

GOTCHA! MADE YA LOOK! I was looking at a friends blog, and found out about the Volks Wagon website, which has this fun feature of letting you download a picture of you and your spouse, then they will mix the features together and show you what your child might look like. :) So I thought I'd see if they were even slightly close to what any of our boys look like. Tell me what you think? And check it out for yourself.

Update....

Unfortunately I have no pictures to post right now.  But I have a lot to say about what's been going on lately for us.  Last weekend Heber went out of town to Richmond VA for his company's annual training meetings.  He was gone for a week.  During that time I was able to drive to Arkansas and visit our close friends Neil and Lu'isa and their two boys, Moana and Gordy.  We Stayed with them the first weekend that Heber was gone.  The first night we got there, we followed Lu'isa to a birthday party that they were invited to from a lady in their ward.  On our way there, we turned a corner and saw this guy laying in the middle of the road!  I thought it was some dummy at first, but then he started to move a little, and me and the boys were saying "Holy cow, that's a real guy!"  We were the second people to get to the scene, the first was an older couple who had already called the police.  We noticed that he was riding a scooter, and it was off to the side of the road.  We weren't really sure what happened because his scooter didn't look like it was messed up.  Well, we waited for the police to get there and we were able to drive around him.  The whole time I was thinking, If it were anyone else who turned that corner and wasn't being alert would've ran right over him!  As we were driving by the guy, Dallin say's "Mommy, don't look at him!"  I asked him if he looked at the guy, and he said "NO WAY!"  I had to laugh a little. :)  I told the boys that the wouldn't have been hurt as badly if he was wearing a helmet.  Ethan kept saying "I've NEVER seen an accident like that!"  wish they hadn't seen it.  OH well.  A good lesson was learned.  The rest of the trip was much more fun. :)  No bed times for the boys, cake, pizza, and movies were all on our agenda.  Ethan didn't want to leave when it was time to go.  He is the one who has the hardest time leaving familly and friends. :(  The rest of the week was so busy for me!  We sold about 40 things on Ebay, and I had to pack all of those items up and take them to the post office.  I had signed up to help out in Dallin's class that week, as well as read a story to Ethan's class.  And Ethan had a book report that was due that Friday.  Mixed in with all that was Ethan't  football practices.  The boys all slept in our bed.  I did not get much sleep. :)  Oh and Bella got a big gash on her foot while she was boarded at the Vet while I was in Arkansas, and so her paw had to be wrapped up and they put that cone thing around her head so that she couldn't get to her bandage.  It was quite a funny site, WHICH I did not take a picture of it like I should've!  She did manage to tear off her bandage. (stinker).  Thursday night Me and the boys spent the night at our my friend Kiley's house, and Kiley and I had a girls night watching 27 dresses and eating cheetos, mini hershey bars and brownies. YUM YUM!  That movie was so cute!  I was SOOO happy when Friday was here and Heber was going to be home!   He got in that night.  I managed to clean the house and clean out his car before we left to pick him up.  We got there about 15 minutes early and so I had to drive around in circles till he landed and got his bags, all the while I got all jittery and excited about seeing him.  It felt like it had when we were dating and I'd have to drive to Dallas to see him.  Oh it was so great when we finally saw each other!  The next morning was Ethan's first football game, but not his teams first game.  Before we signed him up, Heber made sure that the games weren't going to be on Sunday.  Well things changed and they had a couple of his games on Sunday, so he wasn't able to play. :(  He was so excited to finally get to play in a game.  He did really well.  The game ended up being tied.  Then we got home and got ready and packed up to go to St. Louis for Eva's blessing.  We brought Bella with us since Lacey and Ryan had a fenced in back yard.  Aubrey LOVED Bella.  It was too cute.  Eva was just the happiest, smiliest baby!  I loved holding her.  Owen LOVED kissing her. It was so nice to see Heber's parents too and Ryan's parents and Drew and Lynn.  We had a little celebration for Danielle, Georgia (Ryan's mom), and Owen's birthdays.  We had a YUMMY ice cream cake for them.  THE END. :P 

    

GO ROYALS! YEAH!

This last Wednesday, Chris Lansing, the owner of the company Heber works for, came into town and took our family out to the Royals game.  We knew Owen wouldn't last at the game, so my wonderful friend Kirsten, agreed to baby sit Owen for us.  We wanted to make a good impression on Chris, so that's why we had the boys dress nice for the game. :) I'm happy when there's an excuse to get them dressed up.  They DO NOT like dressing up at all.  Ethan and Dallin were GREAT at the game.  Chris kept complimenting me on how great they were.  Ethan was our comedian that night.  He got me into a laughing frenzy with his hysterical faces.  I found out that night while talking to Chris, that he's great friends with Kevin's mission president!  Small world!  It was a great night and Ethan didn't want to leave.  We left during the 8th inning.  He wanted to stay and catch a ball.  

Psyched for the game!  Don't they look so handsome!
this picture is out of order, but this was towards the end of the game, and Ethan got in this silly mood, as you can see.  While Chris and Heber were discussing work, Ethan would pop out from beside Heber and make this face and then pop back behind Heber.  I was cracking up the whole time! If Chris saw him, Ethan would go back to his straight face.  BUT Chris caught him making his crazy face and started laughing too. :)  We love our boys!  

Our team up to bat

Super huge and super awesome high-def Screen.  Pretty sweet huh.  It's brand new.  They are almost done with the stadiums renovations.  
Poor Dallin couldn't stay up much past 9:00
I meant to get one of him smiling, and this is what he does at the last minute.  :) that's my boy.  Aren't you loving his toothless grin?!  

GO CHIEFS!! WOO HOO!

While I was in St. Louis dropping off Danielle and visiting Lacey and Ryan, Heber and Ethan were were back home having a blast together... going to the new animated Star Wars movie and going to the Chiefs game.  Ethan's football team got free tickets to the game.  They got to walk on the field with the players and sit in good seats while they watched the game.  I'm glad they got some one on one time together. :) I had fun seeing Lacey and Ryan and Aubrey and Eva. :) Can't wait to see more of them now that they live close by.

BREAKING DAWN!

Hey all you Ladies!  I have just finished reading Breaking Dawn yesterday!!! YEAH!!!  Have any of you read it yet??  IF so tell me what you think?   I was very pleased with the way the book ended.  It could EASILY keep going on and on, so I am sad that this is the LAST book!  I honestly think she should keep going with it. :)  OH well (sigh).  

Making a change...

I don't know why I haven't done this already, but after a friend of mine told me that she heard that I had pictures of her kids on my blog (which all my kids were in too).  She asked me if I could delete the pictures, and of course I did.  She told me that her and her husband were uncomfortable with it because you never know who's looking at the pictures.  And she's right, and I don't want some weirdo pervert looking at my kids, So then I remembered that I could set my blog to be viewed by only the people I invite.  BUT  I don't have some of your emails!  I've got all my family's and extended family's emails, but I don't have all my friends emails!  So PLEASE send me your email addresses as soon as possible.
