Adventures!!!

Well, it's officially been a month since I posted...oops, time just seems to be getting away from me. We got back yesterday from our yearly cabin trip. Our family has a cabin up Fairview canyon. We had so much fun, it was hard to come home. The kids were SO SO dirty and they have never been happier. The only crazy part was the extreme weather. When I say extreme, I really mean extreme. Laying in the tent on Sunday night, the thunder and lightning started and got louder and closer by the minute. One bolt of lightning flashed and less than 1 second later the thunder sounded...a little too close for comfort if you ask me. Thankfully the lightning storm passed quickly and just left torrencial rain instead. Needless to say we were a little wet and muddy when we came home, but again everyone still had smiles on their faces.
We are headed camping again soon, but we are hoping for sunny days this time.

We do have some exciting news to share...baby #4 is on the way!!! I can't believe it, I am going to have 4 children...WOW, hope we survive. We are very excited to welcome a new little one to our family in March. I am just hoping to feel better soon. I'm sure my kids are ready for that too. While we were at the cabin, Morgan said to my sister in law Amber, "sometimes when you have a baby in your tummy it makes you really sick." They are trying to be patient and bless my husband...he is amazing in every sense of the word. He takes care of me and the kids when he gets home and takes the boys to soccer. You name it, he does it. And he still seems like he likes me...go figure! Anyway, my hat is off to you Shane...you're the BEST!!!

So life is a little crazy right now, but we are counting the crazy as some of the best adventures yet!

Congrats on the 'alien in your tummy'. That's what I like to call them...cause when you really stop to think about it, it really is quite alienish!!!!! I hope you start feeling soon.
Shane is great.....although since spending time with him in the mutual program I have come to learn he is a bit of a smart aleck!, but you gotta love him.

Congratulations!!! That is wonderful - I can't begin to image having 4 little rugrats running around, but you are a natural at motherhood! I am very excited for you!
