Oh Baby!

I guess it's time to announce that we are going to have another baby. Nate and I are excited. We're due March 12th. It will be nice to have a spring baby instead of a winter one like my last two. I'm hoping that number 3 is a girl, but Nate said he would love another boy. McCoy told me he wants two more brothers so we'll see who gets their wish.

Breckenridge, CO

Earlier this month, we went to Breckenridge, CO with my family. Most everyone was there and we had a great time. Nancy's family has visited several times, but this was the first for my side. My dad brought his fourwheelers and we rode them about everyday and found some great trails. We also went sight seeing down town, river rafting down the Arkansas, swimming at the local recreation center and played Settlers of Catan until the wee hours of the morning. It was sad to leave and I look forward to going again in a couple of years.

A little river flows right through the town of Breckenridge. I thought it would be a great place to take some pictures, but my boys didn't really want to hold still.



We visited the Breckenridge City Fire Department.

River Rafting was so much fun. The river was very high and had class 3 rapids going down. Nate, my dad, Nancy, Amelia and I were all in a raft together. We were glad that we had a great guide to help us. This was one of my favorite things we did.

Happy 4th of July

The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays. We usually go camping, but this year we spent the whole week leading up to the 4th in Breckenridge, CO (post to follow) so we were home during the celebrations. Landon and McCoy loved watching the fire trucks, police motorcycles and horses in the parade. They also had a blast watching our own fireworks and then the big firework display just a couple of blocks from our house. Having children has made every holiday so much more exciting. Seeing their faces light up at everything is great. I can't wait until next year!
