Herriman Days

We took the kids to the carnival at Herriman Days. Ethan had the most fun. He got to go on the "train" ride. It was a tractor that was pulling these little cars around. He had a blast.
The kids had fun on the blow up bouncy thing (whatever it's called)
We had a hard time getting Lexi off it. The worker had to jump in there and grab her because she kept running away.
Ethan's first ride on a ferris wheel. Jeff got him to lift his arms above his head going down...but he wouldn't do it again. He seemed to have fun, but towards the end he said "Dad, I want to get off." They had a pretty long ride & Lexi was jealous, she kept trying to sneak in the gate everytime somebody went in or out.
This is Ethan on the "bouncy thing" but this one had a huge gorilla on it & a castle you got to climb through to go down the slide. He didn't want to get off that either.
I went to the doctor for my eye. He said it's oil that has solidified and cause a lump. All I can do right now is put a hot wash cloth on it to try & melt the oil & then massage it. My dad thinks it looks better. I can't really tell, I can only hope & pray that it works; otherwise I'll have to have surgery after I have the baby to remove it. I'm just grateful it wasn't anything worse. In a way it's a blessing. Thanks for everyone's support!

Zoo

Ethan was invited to go to the zoo with his cousin yesterday. It appears that they had a pretty good time
This is Kesley & Ethan-they're so cute together
Ethan got to pet a snake while he was there. He thought that was pretty cool. Too bad they didn't get a picture of that, but some pics are better than none. It's weird to send my little boy off on his own & not be there with him all the time. He's growing up so fast! In September he starts pre-school.

Drum Roll Please...

  We're having a girl!! The ultra sound went really well, everything looks good, the baby looks healthy, yeah!
  I'll write more later, but Ethan got stung on his nose, by a bee. So I gotta go pick him up at his cousin's house. Thanks for all your support!

Life

  We find out on Friday June 20th if we're having a boy or a girl. We're very excited & hope that the baby is healthy. So far my pregnancy is going well, no morning sickness-just tiredness & orneryness. Now that I'm in my 2nd trimester things are getting better- not so tired, not so ornery. Ethan always talks about the baby & "after the baby comes." He thinks it's coming soon, kids have no sense of time- the poor kid has a long time to wait for the baby to come. He's been such a good big brother, him & Lexi are playing well together (actually not right now, they're fighting) but normally they get along.
   We get our sprinklers tomorrow & hopefully our grass will come this weekend. The kids get so dirty playing in our dirt... they sure have a lot of fun & a lot of baths! I'm so excited to finish our yard so we can actually play outside without too much dirt trampled in the house. 
  I'm actually going to the eye doctor next Tuesday to talk about a lump underneath my eye. It started out small & now is pretty big... let's hope it's nothing serious. But I could definately use faith right now... sometimes I feel like mine is all used up. I'm sure it's nothing, but let's hope for the best!
