The Babe

We are very excited to announce that we will be having a GIRL!!! Ruby will be born around May 5, 2012.  She is healthy, and, by her recent movements, happy too!

I love this picture of her because she was totally sucking her toes...already taking after her mother ;)
Ruby's lovely profile, looks like she's got her daddy's big, perfect head!

The Nephews

Time has been flying by, and in the mean time lots of fun has been had!  Here are a few updates of our adventures with Aiden, Skyler and Wesley, a.k.a. the best nephews ever!

The week we returned from Guatemala, Aiden our 10 yr. old nephew helped us give a presentation to three classes in the 4th & 5th grade.  He was a champ, sharing all of his souvenirs from the trip he took to visit us there.


Kyle saw an add for the "Yo-yo man" coming to town and was excited to share the same experience he had with this guy when he was the age of the boys.  We had a fun day seeing all of yo-yo man's tricks and we got outta there just before the frustration was too much to take for little Wesley!



Annual Thanksgiving soccer game.  I was on Wesley's team.  Thanks to Kyle, Wesley learned that my nickname is "crooked foot," due to my awesome aim,  and the whole time Wesley kept saying "c'mon crooked foot, get it" or "Awh crooked foot, that was your fault" or "Crooked foot, c'mon you have to score!"  So, the name stuck, good thing for his cute little giggle he makes after every time he says it.


Date day with Wesley.  After taking him to the magic show that Kiri arranged for us, we took him to the park for a pizza picnic and play time.

Feeding the ducks was fun, and we tricked the seagulls to go away while the cute ducks got the bread treats.  But, the best part of the day was when Uncle Kyle let Wesley drive through the park!!!



A fun filled night with pillow luge!  Here Aiden is leading the charge after Skyler politely declined by saying to Kyle "you don't REALLY expect me to do this do you?"
