Still here

It has been a long time since I have posted. Everything is going well. My belly is getting really big and I am staying busy with the boys.

We had a great Easter. The boys got too much candy, as you can see.

We went to my sister, Stacy's and went on the zip line. The boys thought that was the coolest thing ever.

Jacob and Riley started T-ball a couple of weeks ago and they are having so much fun.

This is Jacob, Riley, and their 2 friends, Colton and Cael on the truck for the parade at the opening ceremonies.

And of course another race. We always have fun at the race. This will be the last race until August.

Another boy! What are we going to do with 4 boys. I think it will be a ton of fun! Jacob and Riley are really excited. When I told them it is a boy, Jacob said "I guess you only have boys in your tummy". I guess he is right.
My appointment went well. The baby looks great. He even waved to us. It was really cool. The doctor said that she never sees a baby open it's hand all the way, they are usually in fists. He is growing nice and big. He actually is measuring almost 2 weeks bigger. So, we will see.

Another Race

We had another race this weekend. Chris couldn't race in this one because he had to work at it. Which means that he was helping to get the track marked off for the racers. Jacob and Riley got to race and they had so much fun. It was a harder track than the last one, but it was longer so the racers weren't piled on top of each other. They also liked that their grandparents, Aunt, and cousins came to watch them. Thank you everyone for coming. We really had a great time. Jacob got 11th out of 12 and Riley got 7th out of 7. They really don't care what place they get, they just love being out there. Plus it is only their 2nd race. Most of the kids that Jacob race with have been racing for a couple of years. I am so proud of them for not giving up when it gets kind of hard.

What made this track more difficult, was that they had to ride on a single track, which most of the younger kids have never done before. A single track is when the track is very narrow and you can not pass.

And it makes it even better when you get trophies and meddles.

The News is out!!!

Yes, I am pregnant! Anyone who has seen me can tell. I am 18 weeks and will be finding out what it is on April 3rd. We are really excited. The boys keep saying that they want another brother, not a sister. I am hoping for a girl, but will be happy with a boy also. I will let you all know when we find out.

My 3 Boys and their race

I know it has been forever since I have posted. I have been supper busy. The main thing that has been keeping me busy is the boys and their dirt bikes. Jacob and Riley decided that they both wanted to do the February race and so we needed another bike for Jacob to ride, because we only had the one that the shared. So, we got another bike and have been going out to ride as much as we could to get ready for the race.

The race was last weekend in Globe. We had so much fun and the boys did great! The funniest thing happened, it is funny now because no one got hurt. Right before the kids race, they have a practice lap so the kids have a feel for what they are going to be doing. Well, at the beginning of the race they have to go down this little hill and turn pretty soon after they start (no big deal if there wasn't so many kids in the race). So, Jacob and Riley take off and Jacob is in front going down the hill. At the end of the turn I see Riley catching up to Jacob and he is about to run into him. Riley doesn't get stopped soon enough and he hits Jacob's bike. Jacob keeps going and I see Riley get up and start running (I mean booking it down this hill as fast as he can go). I am looking around because I don't see Riley's bike anywhere. I look at Jacob and Riley's bike is stuck on Jacob's bike, Jacob is pulling it behind him. It was so crazy and funny. I really wish I had a video camera at that time because it is probably one of those have to see things. So, as this is going on the announcer is like, "Is that the brothers". I am just glad that he ran into his brother and not some other kid.

The one thing I did not like about the race is that there were so many kids racing at the same time. I know that made Jacob really nerves since it was their very first race. But, they did great and they had a ton of fun and they both said they want to do it again. Probably because they got trophies just for riding and medals for finishing. Jacob got 11th place in his group and Riley got 5th place in his. They did great and I am so proud of them.

Riley is the one on the right, #45.Jacob is #70 going down the hill.This is right after the race when they got their medals.With dad back at camp.The trophies that are almost as big as they are.Chris also raced. This is the enduro cross section that they had to go through. It looks scary to me. Chris is the one on the left, in the black.Chris also did great in his race. He got 4th place in his class. He just keeps getting better.

Great job to all my boys!!!

We are back!

We just got back from Utah last night. We had such a great time. The main reason we went was because my very best friend, Hayley, got married. Congratulations to Hayley and Garrett. I am so very happy for them! I can't believe these are the only pictures I got of the 2 of them.

I love Garrett's face in this one, even if you can only see part of it.

The other cool thing about the wedding was that all 5 of my roommates from my freshman year at Ricks were there. It was so great seeing all of them and talking about what they are up to. So much fun!!!

Our week started out with some sledding.

Parker looks like a little marshmallow and he had a hard time walking. It was kind of funny.

This is the first hill we went down. It wasn't long enough, so we had to move on.

This is the hill we ended on, not very steep but much longer.

And there was a jump at the end. How fun is that!

Parker even liked it.

Then Chris took the boys skiing. They had so much fun and they did great. This was Riley's first time and Jacob's second. Great job boys!
Chris chillin on the lift.

Then we ended our trip with a carnival in the front yard. We really want to thank my sister-in-law, Catherine, and her husband, Nic, for letting us stay at their house with them. They were so great to us. They even rented a jumping castle and a cotton candy maker for our last day there. The boys will always want to go visit Aunt Catherine and Uncle Nic. The jumping castle was almost as big as the house.Parker loved every minute in the jumping castle. The beach balls made it even more fun!Who gets their very own carnival in their front yard? How great is this!

Catherine and Nic making the cotton candy. There was cotton candy all over the place. Thanks again you guys for all the fun. We love and miss you guys all ready. The boys already asked if we can go back to your house next weekend. Too bad the drive is so long.
