Our new Addition!

I realized I have not done a blog post just about this baby yet.  So here is some info and pics about this pregnancy.  Kevin and  I were trying to get pregnant for about 9 months before it finally happened with this little one.  It seems like each of my pregnancy it is taking longer and longer to get pregnant. I think my body only likes to get pregnant every 3 years, now all my boys are almost exactly 3 years apart.   We were pretty excited when we found out we had a little one on the way.  My first appointment was pretty early I went in at only 7 weeks so my ultrasound showed a little bean with a heart beat! Its so neat to hear the heart beat for the first time.

I don't usually get to sick when I am pregnant, however this little one wanted to make me a little more nauseous then the other boys.  It takes a lot to make me throw up so at least I was not puking I know a lot of women  who get it way worse then me.  Then I had the normal feeling tired episodes but nothing to out of the ordinary. At about 11 wks I was having some really bad pain in my Right upper quadrant of my abdomen and went into my doctor and they did another ultrasound.  Everything was okay with the baby but they think I had a gallbladder attack, I had one with Braxton too.  Luckily no stones.  The good thing about it was I got to see the little one again and it was no longer a little bean it was a baby! The boys thought the baby looked like batman because the black part looks like the batman symbol so they started calling it the batman baby!
Outside view of the baby bump!  Its amazing how much bigger you get on your 3rd time around!

I was so excited to find out what we were having!  In fact I tried to cheat while I was at work, we have a Ultrasound machine in the ER so I tried to look myself but I could not tell the little one kept turning his back to me! So I had to wait until we got back from our Utah Trip so I was 21 weeks when I went in to find out. This is the little foot!
The Profile picture!  
This is the money shot that the little man shows his goods.  It is definitely a boy!  I was kinda hoping for a girl since I already have two boys but I was still excited about a boy!  Apparently that is what Kevin and I do best is make cute boys!  The boys were not to happy with it though the video of us telling them what we are is  HILARIOUS! However it is not wanting to upload so  I will have to do that on a different post!  But we are excited to welcome this little guy into our family!

Lagoon

Our trip to Utah was a very fun but also a very busy trip because we played a lot.  We went to Lagoon twice because we had some bounce back tickets.  The kids loved it, I have never spent a lot of time in the kid portion of lagoon but they have a lot for them to do.  Since I was pregnant and could not go on any good rides I was with the kiddos all day, but I still had a good time.
 Elsha and Jaxton on the dragoon drop.
 Corbin on the dragoon drop, Corbin was our little wild man there he was not afraid of anything!  It was so cute on this ride to because he put his arms up himself I did not tell him too.  I looked down and he had his had in the air on the drop and kept them up the whole time.  When I rode this ride with Braxton I told him to put his arms up and he said, "Mom they told you to keep your hands on the safety rail at all times so that is what I am doing!"  Well alright little Mr. follow all the rules I guess I better keep my hands on the safety rail!
 Chole and Braxton
 I have been on Rattle snake rapids many times and have NEVER got this soaked I felt like I just jumped in a lake with all my clothes on.  My shoes were sloshing around because they had so much water in them.  I was also wearing jeans which don't ever dry very well and to top it off we were smart enough to go on this ride in the evening so I was never going to dry.  So I decided to go put my swimsuit cover up on instead of  my jeans.  Well that helped but I did not match very well since I had a light blue shirt on with a purple dress.  Hey its a new fashion statement.
 Going on the Farris Wheel, of course Corbin was not afraid of it at all in fact he thought it would be a good idea to try to jump out of the cart.  I asked him, "Corbin are you having fun?"  Corbin's response was, "Ya lets jump!" lets not jump we do want to live!  Crazy kid!
 Braxton feelings were a little different as you can tell the heights kinda freaked him out,  He was not a big fan of us spinning the cart but I guess he is just like his dad cuz Kevin did not like the heights that much either!
 It was funny because Elsha was the one who wanted to go on this ride and she was terrified the whole time! She sat there with here eyes closed freaking out!  It kinda made me laugh!
 Corbin on the Merry go round

Braxton on the Merry go round, it was raining really hard when we bounced back we all had to buy ponchos and we sloshed around in the rain.  It made it a interesting experience.  It stopped in the early evening which made it a lot funner after that.   We all had a great time and it was really nice of Kirk and Lindy to take us thanks guys! 

Fun in Utah

While we were in Utah Braxton was a lucky little guy and he got to celebrate his Birthday again.  We were able to have family and friends over for cupcakes and dinner.  Thanks everyone for coming!

 While we were in Utah we went camping for a night, we played in the river and went on a hike up to a waterfall.  The kids loved it and had a great time.  They loved playing in the river and throwing rocks.  We went hiking up the river and Corbin is a little crazy man and is not afraid of anything.
 Both the Grandmas and Braxton!
 Braxton at the waterfall he was the only kiddo that went on the hike with us.

Braxton 6th Birthday Party!

For Braxton's 6th Birthday Party he wanted a ANGRY BIRD BIRTHDAY!    So that is what we did!  Thanks to pintrest I got a ton of great ideas for decorating and playing games.  We played pin  the beak on the Angry Bird.  Life size angry birds where the boys threw balls at stacked cardboard boxes (the boxes did not stand up very long so there is no picture).  We did water balloon fights, water guns and the little blow up pool.  The kids loved it and luckily the weather cooperated and it was nice and hot it was in the 80s today perfect for playing in the water!   Most important Braxton loved it and had a great time!  We are so lucky to have such a great little guy we love him so much Happy Birthday Braxton!!  I can't believe your six where did the time go?
We added a couple extra decorations and these pizza became ANGRY BIRD PIZZA!


We drew Angry Bird faces on a bunch of calls and then we
