Major Catching Up!!!

So, I know that it has been a couple months since I have posted anything, but I'm going to use the lame excuse of being pregnant. hehehe. In August, our little man, JD, turned four! He was so excited to be turning four. We didn't do too much for his birthday, since all he wanted to do was go to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. I took him to some fountains, took him out to lunch, and got him a new book. I can't believe how big he has gotten and what a blessing he is to our lives. He is such a good boy, so smart, and a walking bunch of energy.


On September 1st, I had my ultrasound. I really wanted to be surprised with this one, but JD was really anxious for a little brother, so we decided to find out... just in case. It only took a minute or two of the tech moving the wand around until we got a very clear picture of a little girl! Yes, we are having a little girl enter our family. JD was very disappointed and started to cry along with saying " Oh crap! I wanted a brother!". He wanted a brother very badly. After Reed has explained to him the great things about sisters and the awesome job of being a big brother to a little sister, JD has warmed up to having a sister and continually likes to talk to her. We are excited to have her coming to us.

Reed and I have reached our seven year anniversary. I can't believe that we have been together that long, because sometimes it seems longer and then shorter. Reed is such a hard worker, amazing father, and a wonderful husband. I love him to pieces. Our move out to Vegas is happening in a few weeks, and we are getting very anxious to get going. We are happy that we are getting out before the cold really hits, but we are going to miss having the four seasons around us. But, we are ready for new scenery and a new adventure (like having a second baby wasn't a new adventure enough, hehehe). But that is what has been happening with us lately. We are pretty boring, but very ready to get going and have some excitement going on.

I'm so excited about your new post! And I'm so excited to have another little girl in the family! Little girls are so fun and I can't wait for all of our girls to have fun tea parties and be best friends! It will be a blast. JD is so big! I can't wait to see you guys when you get out here, and Alan is soooo excited to go hunting with the guys this year and to get to know Reed! So much to look forward to!
