22 Weeks!!!

I have made it to 22 weeks!!!  I was still able to button my pants till this week.  I still don't wear maternity pants because all of mine fall down.  The baby is moving tons.  I love to feel him moving.  We are having another boy!!!!  The kids are loving the idea of another baby.  We have picked out a name.  His name is Britton Lloyd Beard.  Lloyd is my grandpa that passed away.  Jason was reading a story about a football player who had the last name of Britton.  He loved it and I loved it.  Since we decided we have heard of lots of Britton's.  It is not just a last name but a first name for other boys.  I love it and looking forward to having this little baby in our family.  I am feeling good.  I still sleep good but find I need a nap during the day or I am exhausted by 8 pm.  The kids are excited to hold, play and have a baby around again.  Logan tells me "Brother is playing cars or trucks" every time you ask about his baby brother.  I asked Logan the other day what he was going to do with brother when he is born.  He told me play dump trucks.  Logan is very cute.  I am looking forward to good weather so we can get out and have our family bike rides. We are extremely excited for this new addition to our family!!!

Our snow!!!!

February 4, 2011 we had a huge snow storm.  School was canceled for two days.  The kids loved it.  Jason helped the kids make a snowman!!!  We miss the snow and Montana so it was nice to have it for a couple of days.  We love snow!!!!

Blue and Gold

Carson made a cobra snake for blue and gold.  He came up with the idea of using marshmallows for the head.  He decorated it all by himself.  He did a great job!!!

Carson received his Wolf Badge

On January 25, 2011 Carson received his wolf badge.  He worked really hard for it and was happy when he got it.  He loves being in the bear den.  He is learning so much.

17 weeks!!!!

I am so happy to say I am 17 weeks along today.  I feel good and I think I look smaller than I feel.  I am still able to button my pants which is huge for me.  I usually am in maternity pants by now with the last two. I am not wearing maternity shirts yet.  I am super excited.  I hope things are good.  We had an ultrasound and everything looked good.  We did not look at everything super close but the baby has 10 fingers and 10 toes.  I will have another ultrasound to check everything and to find out what we will be having February 20th!!!  We just want a healthy baby.  I am super excited for the next year.  Stacy, my sister, is due February 2nd with a boy, then Annie, another sister, just announced that she is having a baby September 22nd.  Christmas is going to be so much fun this year.  I have always been the only one pregnant so I am super excited to be pregnant with my sisters.  My parents are doubling in the grandchildren department.  They have my three children and then there are three babies coming this year.  They will then have 6 grandchildren.  I feel so blessed and way excited!!!

A NEW Transformer

Logan took Carson's transformer mask and made a new transformer.  He carries a chainsaw.  We laughed so hard.
