It's A GIRL!

So on Monday I had an ultrasound at 16 weeks with the soul purpose to find out the gender of our baby (I think I would have died if I had to wait any longer). To all of our surprise we found out that it was a GIRL! I think it still hasn't really set in yet. Both Jarrett and I were sure that it was going to be another boy and we were totally fine with that. I know what to do with boys, I have boy toys, blankets, clothes, my entire house is boy stuff. So we were very shocked when she said it was a girl. Jarrett just sat there and said are you sure? We very excited though. I nervous about a girl though. There are so many cute girl things out there that I'm never going to have money anymore! I could spend my whole paycheck on clothes for this baby. We don't know about names yet. I should have known it would be a girl just for that reason. When I was pregnant with Ryder we knew exactly what the name would be if it was a girl, and now we have boy names, but no girl names. I still have 23 weeks to pick a name so it will be alright. We just can't wait to meet our cute girl!

Very Long Overdo!

We finally got our extra bathroom redone so I thought maybe we would try our hand at potty training. I bought Ryder this little seat that goes on the normal seat. He loves it and uses it daily, but not the way I wish he would. He thinks it makes a perfect hat. I guess it's a good thing that he hasn't ever used it with its intended purpose.


So Ryder was out side playing and I heard a little knock at the door. When I opened it Ryder was standing there with a bunch of flowers. I was so sad! I planted over 60 bulbs last fall. I now have not one flower to show for it. Some of them just didn't make it, but those that did fell victim to Ryder.

and has to do everything that his dad does.

This is one of the saddles that Jarrett won back in the day and we have to display in our family room. Ryder loves it though. Everyday he climbs up there with his rope and hat and pretends to rope things for hours and yell "yee haw". Its quite entertaining to watch and listen to him. He is a funny boy.

Things for us are pretty much the say. We just seem to stay busy with work, church calling, cows, family and friends. Jarrett spends all of his extra time outside creating and constructing stuff. He has been building horse stalls in our back yard lately. Ryder is busy as ever. Always finding something to get into. He has gotten really good at throwing fits. I guess this is what the terrible two's are all about (love it!) Jarrett, Ryder and I were able to go through the temple May 1 and be sealed as a family. It was a really awesome day! And lastly Jarrett and I are expecting our 2nd child Nov. 7. We are really excited, but even more scared! Most days I wonder what we have gotten ourselves into. It will be fun though and my cousing Morgan and his wife are due 2 days after me. I will have to have another c-section so I will have that Oct 29 so we will have a fun little halloween baby. We go to find out what we are having on Monday the 24. I can't wait to start making and buying things.
