Its a Boy!

Its a Boy! Again... =D I guess that will make it really easy! We already have all the clothes etc. Just need diapers and wipes. lol. Everything on the ultrasound from the heart to brain look healthy and right on track. So, for that we are most thankful!

Tomorrow is Roland's 26th Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I must really love him because... He wants to eat at Red Lobster. And we are going to! I hope that I can find something on the menu without seafood and hasn't been cooked in fish juice. lol. So Happy Birthday Roland!

We are headed out early Sunday morning for my Dad's (late celebration of his 60th Birthday that was on the 11th). Roland or Jace have never been to his house and it has been years since I have been. And not only that, my sister Tasha and brother Davin will be there. With all that open land we can't help but have a lot of fun. I will try to take lots of pictures. See you all when we get back!

Camping Trip

We all had a great time on our camping trip this year. I wish Roland would have been able to get the time off to stay the whole time, but he was unable to. But... He did get to come and help me set up on Thursday! The most important part. And it turned out he did most of the "setting up" lol. The battery on the camera went dead on the first day so I was only able to get a few pictures.

~Bath Time~

Grandpa Randy and Grandma Sara this is for you. Your toy has brought a new meaning to bath time! Love and miss you! We can't wait to see you all next month! xoxo

Sorry the video is sideways...

Update

It has been awhile since I last posted anything! I just got back from my monthly tummy check. Everything looks good. I was able to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time! So exciting! The ultrasound is scheduled for August 21st. We can't wait to find out what it is. When I think about how a tiny little baby is growing inside my stomach with real little organs and everything it reminds me of what miracles we all really are. I think Jace is just as excited about this baby as we are. Every night he has to tell the baby goodnight. He says... "Hi baby. My name is Jace Ellis and I am your BIG brother. Goodnight." (He really does say the cutest things!)

We are still in revival with Bro. Bellew so that means no Jr. Youth. It has been nice to have a break, but we are really starting to miss our "Fun" time with the kids. Bro Bellew is a wonderful preacher with a heart full of compassion. Sis Bellew is really a sweet, kind, and thoughtful lady. And of course the kids are hilarious. We have enjoyed getting to know them.

Well... I guess that is about it for now. I hope all is well you all!

Joel and Niki's Graduation!

We just got back from a very quick trip to Pendleton for their graduation. Congrats to Joel and Niki! (and of course to everyone else!) The Neff's church in Baker City joined in the celebration and presented awards to the kids in their school as well. Their first and second graders sang a song with all the states/capitals, continents and oceans. Smart little guys! The speeches from the graduates were sweet and very thought provoking. It was a treat to hear Bro. Nathan Neff talk to the graduates about their final destination in life. Because really... That is what living is all about. All in all it was a wonderful ceremony and reception!

A big thank you to Brandon and Nicole for letting Jace and I stay with you. We always have so much fun!

~It was wonderful to see you all!~

It's Official... We are going to have a baby!

I know the ultrasound is not very clear... And right now you can't see much of anything, but we are so excited. Expected due date is January 6, 2010.

And just so no one gets the wrong idea... The only reason we wait a few months to tell people is so that we are sure everything is looking okay. If you have ever had trouble with a pregnancy or were close to someone who did, you would understand.

Our little boy is "3"

We had a great time at Jace and Quincy's Birthday Party!
There was tons of good food and lots of people to share it with.
And of course there was the water fight...! The moms Won!!!
It stared out as a water fight with the kids and then somehow ended
with the women against the men. Some how in all the mess, Sis Marty
ended up riding the cooler as the men tried to dump her off. The big Finale with tubfulls of ice water thrown at the men is sure to keep them at bay until
Next Year!

A BIG THANK YOU to everyone that came, brought gifts, and helped us celebrate these birthdays!

Below is a few pictures. I will try to get some of the water fight from Marcella!
