What a shocker!

We found out today that we are having another little girl to add to our house full of estrogen! Yay! I am very excited! We went to an ultrasound school and got a free one just to find out a week early. We are ridiculous aren't we? It was fun though! Now the doctor can confirm it at our "real" ultrasound next week! The bed was surrounded by ultrasound students who were all too afraid to try to see if they could get a good picture of the baby, so the teacher did it all. They were all joking around with Jason about having a boy and a couple of times we thought it might be, but it was just the cord in the wrong spot! Oops! Well, the joking all stopped and the room went silent when he said it was a girl. I think they were all staring at Jason to see his reaction! He did well and he is excited of course. A little deflated, but excited nonetheless! I'm happy he's taking it so well, even though he is so outnumbered. I think it is Karma for him being soooo girl crazy in high school and college! :) He did say that he is going to get a boy dog right after I have the baby! That got a few laughs and broke the tension in the room! Of course I am excited to have another little girl to snuggle and dress up! Jason still jokes that the girls are like my little Barbies. I will love having 4 little Barbies to get ready everyday! We love girls! We better! Most importantly though, the baby is healthy and extremely active! How could we ask for more than that?!

Halloween

This was a great Halloween! The girls got to dress up 3 times for different parties. They loved it! On Halloween night, we went to our friends Brian and Susie's cul de sac for a little party and trick or treating around their neighborhood. After every house that we went to Morgan would come running out yelling and jumping up and down, "I got candy!" So adorable! Morgan and Rylee didn't last too long. Rylee said, "Mommy, I think I have enough candy. Can I go eat it now?" So Jason stayed with them and Taylor and I went to a few more houses. It was fun to have that time with her. This is the first year Taylor dressed up as something scary. It was a fun change, once she got used to the green face! I just liked the cool black streaks in her blonde hair. It was so fun to do!

Our little Queen! She was in character all night! Imagine that!

Morgie loved being a butterfly! She even kept her antennas on! Can't believe it!

Jesse didn't keep hers on though! Oh well! We tried! She outgrew her bee costume! Darn!!!

...and the spooky witch Taylor! AHHHHH! :)

Taylor's Baptism

It is about time that I posted these pictures of Taylor's Baptism!! What an amazing day! We are so proud of her choice to be baptized. She felt excited, nervous and a little overwhelmed! The day could not have been more perfect! The Grandpas gave the talks and Rylee and Chelsea sang a beautiful song. Taylor looked like a little angel and she had so much support from family and friends! We had family who travelled from California and Utah just for this occasion. After the baptism, we came back to our house for a little brunch (including the yummiest cinnamon rolls). It was so fun to be with family and friends and we appreciated all the love that was shown to us! We are very blessed to be surrounded by such wonderful people! And Taylor...thanks for being you! We couldn't ask for a sweeter little girl!
