MORE SNOW!

WOW! We got a lot of snow these last couple of days. This morning when the boys woke up they were so excited to look out the window at the snow covered road. They were begging to play in the snow yesterday but unfortunately it was sleeting most of the day so I didn't think it was a good idea, however, i promised them they would get to go out and play today when Daddy got home from work. In the morning I stepped off the back porch with a tape measure to measure the snow. Just off the back porch there was 8 inches - (I can't imagine what it would have been if we wouldn't have had all the ice yesterday to pack down what had already accumulated. I then measure the boys legs...8 inches was up to the middle of Ike's thighs and at Ty's Knees. I could only imagine how hard it would be for them to try and walk in the snow. I got Ty bundled up first and as soon as Zach pulled in the driveway Ty went running outside. He was diving face first. He went up in his play set and crawled through the tunnel and then went down his slide which was completely snow covered. He loved it! I then got Ike and I bundled and we all headed out. While Zach shoveled the walkways i pulled the boys in their sled and then Zach got out his 4wheeler, we all hopped on and went for a ride around town - it seemed like everyone was out on their 4wheelers. We took the boys over to the cemetery and they went sledding. Their was a perfect hill for them. Zach try to sled down first to show Ty and Ike but there was so much snow that he didn't really go anywhere - he just smashed it down. We all had a wonderful time!

SNOW DAY!

Finally we had a little snow acumulation! The boys were so excited to get out and play! We ran to walmart and got Ty some boots and a sled. The boys really enjoyed me pulling them in their sled and letting the slide down the little hill in our front yard.

Cutting Firewood

The boys were excited to go "cut" firewood with Daddy! They each brought their chainsaw and had a lot of fun. Ty's only comment was that next year Santa was going to have to bring him a chainsaw that REALLY CUTS!

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! :)
