THREE BOYS!!!

Well we had our ultra sound yesterday - the weather was nasty, the roads very icy - but we just couldn't wait to find out what we were having so we made the trip to Terre Haute for our Doctor appointment. The four of us went; Zach, Ty, Ike & I. The boys couldn't wait to see their baby brother/sister! When the tech told us she saw "boys parts" and Zach told Ty is was another baby brother Ty looked at the tech and said "uh! it's suppose to be a baby sister!" We all just laughed! It was in a way no surprise to me that I was having a boy! although I let myself look at the girl stuff this time I still in the back of my head thought it may be a boy. Our doctor looks over the pictures from the ultrasound with us, he said "everything is growing normally & the baby is healthy except"...and the he just starts laughing... "it's a boy!" He just couldn't stop laughing! Zach told him that he thinks he just doesn't have any girl in him...he claims "he's all man!" I told Zach, maybe this is God's way of telling us we shouldn't be done having children! haha! Because we had said that if we were having a girl then this would most likely be the last. So I think God said give those two another boy - so they will try again! :) Zach said "Jen, I don't think God is that funny!" We had told our doctor before that we wanted 4 or 5 - so Zach told him..."well it looks like I might have to have 5." The Doctor said "you know who's fault this is and pointed to Zach!" The doctor really got a kick out of the three boys thing!

How exciting for Ty & Ike to be getting a little brother! We've almost got ourselves a starting lineup! I am sure the fights won't be as petty as they were with a family of just girls! They will probably just duke it out and be done with it. I am thinking about 14 or 15 years from now - I will have 3 boys in high school - a freshman, junior & senior! It will probably be a crazy, yet super fun time in my life, let's just hope they don't cause too much trouble.

I was shopping at Wal-Mart the other day and an old couple complemented me on how good my boys were acting! I told her they aren't always this good. :) Anyway they were talking to Ty & Ike telling them how cute they were - somehow it came up that I was expecting again - I said "maybe it will be a girl this time" she said "and if it's not you will get your daughters the easy way!" That has just stuck with me. Even if I end up with all boys hopefully I get some great daughters in law!! :)

Enjoy the pictures of our precious, healthy baby boy #3! It's time to start the names game.

Ike's Vocabulary!

I thought it would be nice to document Ike's vocab at this stage. Ty seemed to be talking much sooner than Ike...I figure part of the reason is Ty NEVER stops talking to give Ike a chance! Ike just keeps adding more and more words each day and I know it is just a matter of of time and we will be talking non-stop as well!

Sneak Peak! Fall Photo's!

Since we were suppose to get big storms yesterday & today we decided to get the boys out in the leaves for some photo opts this fall! Zach was ready to get the leaves out of the yard anyway! Ty & Ike had so much fun playing in the leaves. In fact I took 196 pictures of the boys! After we were done taking pictures Ty stayed out with Zach to help him work in the yard! Zach said Ty really was a big help...he just needed a bigger rake! Ike went inside and took a nap after his "photo shoot" you can tell in the later pictures he is starting to look tired! Here is a sneak peak at some of the photo's I took of the boys! I took all these pictures with the intention of printing some for all the family and possibly our Christmas card...we will just have to wait & see!

Enjoy our boys, we sure do! :)


p.s. if you want to see all the pictures let me know and I will send you an email with a link to my kodakgallery picture album.

Trick or Treat

Happy Halloween! We had two nights of "trick or treating!" In Sullivan county trick or treating took place on Thursday and Friday. On Thursday we stayed home and handed out candy and on Friday we ventured out to gather our own treats. Our town (only 280 people) has its own library - and every year Evelynn the librarian has a little Halloween party for the kids. They have someone telling stories, cookies, candy, cider and each child gets to pick a new book to take home with them. Ike choose an alphabet book - he got very excited when he saw the book because "MOMO" (Elmo) was on the cover. Ty picked The Little Engine That Could - he loved the train on the front cover. They each had a yummy cookie and got their picture taken! Then we headed out on the town to trick or treat! Ike even learned to say "TRICK OR TREAT!" Ty would knock on the door and the two of them would say "trick or treat!" we pulled them all around town in their wagon. They had so much fun! Ike now believes that he can get anything he wants by saying "Trick or Treat!" He will point at something look at you and say "Trick or Treat" with his little grin! :)

ZOO BOO!

We had a wonderful time at the Zoo Boo with Papa Hal, Abby, Brandon, Katie, Neal and baby Clayton!

Baby Thompson's First Photo!

We had our first ultrasound on Friday! We were 12 weeks at the time of these pictures, still to early to detect the sex of the baby! But according to the tech there appears to be just 1 bun in this oven! So if you voted for twins it looks like that isn't the case this time. Unless the other one was just hiding. :) It's always fun to get to see the baby! I asked Zach when we left the doctor if he felt like it was a boy or a girl...he said boy...even though prior to the ultra sound he thought it was going to be a girl! He said "the ultrasound looked just like the other two and they were both boys." Now we have to remember that Zach didn't go to school to read sonograms. haha...we told the tech we already have 2 boys & she commented that this one's nose looked like a little girl! I am sure she was just saying that to keep our hopes up! haha...We would be just fine with another little Zach! We would almost have our our starting line up! :) What do you think by looking at the pictures? Does you vote change?
