We had are ultrasound on the 22nd everything looks good! We are having a Baby Boy!! and we are all very excited to have another boy. Houston thinks that he will get to play Baseball and ride motorcycles with him right away.:)

Here are our little Trick or Treaters! Houston was Santa Claus(and picked it out all on his own, thanks to my mom for making the costume can't say there were to many Santa's out that night.) Ashlyn was a little lady bug and figured out that she loved to Trick or Treat. She wanted to eat the candy as fast as she got it.

Houston's Preschool went to Schnepf Farms for a Halloween Party. Where he picked out his baby pumpkin.

We went to St. Louis at the beginning off the month to meet by new sister in laws family. We went for a long weekend and went to the Arch and to the Anheuser Busch Brewery and of course meet Stacey's family for dinner. We had a great time but by the end of the trip we were all exhausted and sick!! St. Louis was very pretty and a great place to visit. Thanks to Stacey's mom for inviting us for Dinner so we could check out the City.

We are Expecting a Baby! I am 16 weeks pregnant and I am still getting over the initial shock of having another baby. We are going to have some busy days ahead with 3 kids under 4. We will have our ultrasound the weekend before Thanksgiving and just hope that the baby will be healthy and our very anxious to find out the sex of the baby. Houston wants both a brother and a sister and Ashlyn won't be to excited for either. Although this was not in our plans we are excited to welcome this baby into our family.

Well it has been about 6 weeks since Michael and Emily moved to Indiana. It seems like they moved such a long time ago, but yet it hasn't. Our kids are missing there cousins. We wish you all the best in Indiana we love you guys.

They also had their toy hauler loaded down

The kids playing in the truck, they thought it was the funnest thing

The Big Truck, that was stuffed to the hilt.

Preschool

Houston's 1st day of Preschool! Houston was so excited to go back to preschool. We meet his new teachers Mrs. Prawl and Mrs. Kimberly last night and got to see his new school. Justin asked Houston all day yesterday if he could go meet the teacher with us and he finaly told Justin "daddy i already told you no! just me and mama and Ashlyn are going". so needless to say daddy didn't go.

Sister loves to copy Houston

Unckle Tommy got baby chicks!

Happy 30th Birthday Justin! We went on our Annual trip to Aunt Julie's for the 4th of July and for Justin's Birthday. Justin's entire family goes up and spends some time up there. It is definatly a great way to get out of the heat. The kids have so much fun, we hardly even see them unless they need to tell on one of their cousins, or if they need something to eat. We went to the Show Low parade, saw fireworks, the boys went fishing and actually got alot of fish-so they were pretty excited about that. The weather was beautiful,except we got a few pretty good rain storms. Hope everybody had a good fourth of July.

Some of the things we did for the month of June. Happy Birthday to Tyler hope you had a great 8th Birthday.

Houston has learned how to ride his bike with out training wheels! He is definatly all boy he petals as fast has he can and then puts on the breaks so he can see is skid marks.

A Bitter sweet day for our family! Chad is moving to Chicago!!! Chad decided that he was in love and needed to move to Chicago to be with his girlfriend, so Stacey flew out and they were making there looong drive to Chicago. I could have never made that drive but three days later they finally made it to there new home. Although we will all miss him, we do know that it is the best thing for him. Congratulations Chad and Stacey. (Chad moved at the end of May and they just announced there engagement)
We are so Happy for you guys-We love you!

Chad, Stacey, Houston, and Ashlyn

Chad and Stacey will probably kill me for putting this picture on here since they were not picture perfect.

Ashlyn's 1st Birthday

Ashlyn turned one years old on May 29th and I am just getting around to posting her pictures. We just had a small party for her with our families and a few friends. I think Justin and Brian had more fun at the place than the kids did. It was a good day the kids and a blast. Happy Birthday my sweet Baby girl! We love you.

Pinetop

We went up to Pinetop with most of Justin's Family this past weekend. The kids of Course have a blast playing and getting DIRTY! Poor Jacko was riding his bike and did a tumble down the hill and had to have 8 stiches. He was a trooper though.

Our Crazy Kids!!!
Ashlyn's Favorite thing to play with. Why do we buy toys?



This picture cracks me up!! I walked out to the garage one evening to find our poor dogs being tormented! I asked Houston what he was doing and he looked at me as I were stupid and said "I'm doing surgery on them".
