Its a girl!!!!

I went to the doctors and had my ultrasound today and we found out that we are going to have another beautiful baby girl!!! So if you didn't know I was pregnant you do now. She is healthy and all is going great. My due date is February 8, we have lot of request to have her a little early to hit a few family members birthday but I will just be happy it she waits till February, to much going on in January, and I have had all my other babies a week or more early.
As many of you know Sheldon and Jed were hoping for a boy and to tell the truth so was I but now that we know its a girl all is well. Jed came to grips with it right a way and was excited to have another sister, Sheldon on the other hand is going to take some time to get use to the idea but it is growing on him already. Evan doesn't really know what is going on but she was really excited to watch the baby on the monitor and loves looking at the pictures now.
We are so excited for this new addition to our family and wanted to share it with all of you. Love you all!!!!!!

Hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa

The week before school started Sheldon and I went to California for a vacation; and my parents came to our house to stay with the kids. I just got some of the cute pics from my parents so I wanted to post them for everyone.
Jed went fishing again and caught 3 fish. He was so excited, he called us in California and told us all about it. He caught one with a worm and two with power bait. He loves power bait!! They also had a great time climb all the trees in the back yard. Jed had to have pictures taken of him and how high he could climb. Evan couldn't be left out of the fun so she had a few taken of her climbing not so high in the trees.
Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!!!!

Jed's first day of school

Well I know I am about a week behind everyone else on this but I guess it is better late than never. Jed had his first day of school on Aug. 24 2009. Everything went really well. He is in the afternoon kindergarten so the morning started out pretty slow. Jed was so excited and was ready for school about 8:00 that morning. Luckily another mother with her inpatient kindergartner came and knocked on our door at 9 hoping that they could play. So Jed spent most of the morning playing at a friend house. Then he came home had lunch and he and his friend rode scooters to school while we walked behind. When the bell rang Jed and all the other kids went inside. I followed hoping to get a few more pics and maybe help him if I could. But I was soon reminded that I was no longer needed. He was a big kindergartner and he could do it all on his own. So from a distance I snapped a few quick shots and left again. Leaving him there wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be for me. My little (I mean) big boy and I have been through a lot together and I thought letting him go, grow-up would be harder. But it just seemed like the next logical step. It was what he needed and he was so ready for school, that it made it easier on me and all I could be was happy for him. The walk home wasn't all tear free though, as we walked away Evan kept on asking where Jed was at and if she could play with him. When it was clear he wasn't walking back with us she broke down in tears and cried "I play Jed, please!" When we got home though I laid her down for her nap and she didn't wake up until after Jed was already home from school. While he was gone the time went by pretty fast, before I knew it, I was walking back towards his school to pick him up. The report was all pretty good except all of his friends were in the other kindergartner class, but he had already made one friend that day so all looks good.
Now it is a week later and he has already changed so much. I am need for thing less and less. He has decided that he wants to ride the bus to and home from schools instead of walk with his mom. And every day the report of how his day went is "fine" or "we didn't do much." Not the little chatter box he was on the first day. But then the "growing-up" has already begun and I am just the mom and happy to have the part!!!!
