BIG Boys Weekend Away!!!

Dan took Britton and Bryson to the Rodeo this weekend. Parker and Abby stayed home with me. Every year Dan's parents and some of his brothers and sisters families go to the Idaho Rodeo. I would love to go but Parker and Abby just won't sit still long enough to enjoy the Rodeo. Dan split a hotel room with Keith and Spencer and the boys had a lot of fun being with their cousins. Britton loved the Rodeo and watched the entire thing start to finish, Bryson on the other hand sat restless through the first half and fell asleep during the second half. Dan really got to enjoy the second half(especially with Bryson asleep). Parker, Abby and I went exploring on the trail and had a nice spaghetti dinner and then Papa came and got us for a sleepover. We watched movies and played and had a wonderful time with Papa and Mama Mack. Papa made a great breakfast and Parker felt like the big helper all weekend. Thanks Mom and Dad.

It's a GIRL!!!

We had an ultrasound last week and the doctor says its a girl. We are really excited for Abby to have a sister. Parker on the other hand says it could still turn into a boy, and Britton says he will just cut all her hair off. Bryson is happy for another sister, and I'm sure Abby will be too someday.

I have returned!!!

Life has been a bit crazy the past few months. I am sixteen weeks pregnant. Surprise!!! We are so excited for this new baby to come. I have finally overcome the morning sickness. Dan has been the most patient and wonderful husband with me, I am very grateful for him and all that he does at home and work. Britton has strep and feels terrible. Bryson is trying to learn anything and everything. Parker and Abby are becoming the best playmates. Life is wonderful.

New Years Day Sledding

We finally went sledding for the first time this season. We went with the Parkin Family and had a blast. Everyone had a great time.

Abby wasn't so sure about sledding, but she liked to be pulled on it.

A different New Year's Eve

This year for New Year's Eve we stayed home because Abby was running a fever. Dan went and rented Horton Hear's a Who. We had finger foods and played the Wii. We let the kids stay up as late as they wanted. At about 11:30pm Parker asked if he could go to bed and Bryson fell asleep at 11:45pm. Britton stayed up until the New Year and wasn't ready to go to bed after that. It was a quite night at home, but it sure was fun.

Dinner at Grandpa and Grandma Mack's

We got together and had dinner and exchanged gifts. The kids had fun playing upstairs and were all very happy with all their gifts.

Look at mom she is so fun to buy for because she is always so happy with whatever she gets.

Lunchtime with Grandpa and Grandma Gardner!!!

We went to Grandpa and Grandma Gardner's for lunch and had clam chowder and ham sandwiches. The kids got to see the cousins and visit the horse.
Sysco is doing great.
