Baby Boy Number 5 Due in June!!!

Hi, Everyone!!!
Well, it has been over a year since I've blogged. I guess I'm just not a blogger! Just wanted you to know that we are expecting our 5th baby boy in the middle of June. Very excited. I guess it is just not in the genetics for us to have girls. Josh and I both only have brothers. My doctor said that we don't have a 50/50 chance of having either a boy or girl, it is more like 80/20 in favor of boys, if even that. No worries! Boys are great. Lots of energy, lots of messes, and lots of hugs for mom. Love it!!!

Our trip to Mesquite for Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving this year, we went to Mesquite, NV with my mom, dad, Casey, and Troy to ride the side-by-sides and 4 wheelers. It was so much fun!!! We went on 3 different rides, and had a blast. It was fun watching all the crazy stuff the guys would do. I was like, "let me out!" I'm not really into rolling with the machine.

It was Eli's first side by side ride in the "T-Rex," and we weren't sure how he would do, but he slept the whole time! He must have been pretty content. I guess he was born into the right family, he seemed to fit right in with the recreational activities. For Thanksgiving dinner, we ate at Casablanca. It was delicious and no one had to cook or clean up. Perfect! It was such a fun vacation!!! I didn't publish these earlier, because I made a photo book of our vacation for my parents for Christmas, and I wanted the photos to be a surprise.

Seeing Santa!!!

We went to the Christmas Parade, and had a great time!  The kids loved seeing Santa.  Talon asked for Wii games, Ryker asked for a Didj, and Hunter---well, Hunter just wanted the candy Santa was giving out! 

Thanksgiving at Mesquite, Nevada!

We went to Mesquite, Nevada this year for Christmas to do some riding in the dirt and sand. We had so much fun! The scenery is breathtaking, and we had some great memories. Everyone asks us what we did about Thanksgiving dinner--we at at the Virgin River Casino! They served a delicious Thanksgiving feast complete with all the traditional Thanksgiving trimmings. Clean up was a cinch! That was nice.

Josh and Jared being crazy on Jared's Razor. Yikes!!!

The City of Rocks

My best friend growing up, Brandy Hackman, her family, and the boys and I got together Friday after Thanksgiving at the Valley of Fire while Josh was motorcycling with his brother and friends. We had so much fun! I didn't know my boys were such climbers. They about gave me a heart-attack watching them climb up these rock cliffs. They had a blast!!!
