Kera the bike riding cowgirl
We decided to go for a walk today as a family since it was such good weather outside. As we were getting ready to go, Kera ran out to the garage on got on her bike. She asked if she could ride it on the walk. I said sure. She found her cowboy hat in the stroller and put it on. Out of the garage she rode as fast as she could with her cowboy hat yelling "yee haw!" It was hilarious. I had to get a picture of her in her get up.

Soccer Saturdays
Jacob started his spring soccer season in April. So we spend each Saturday at soccer games. Jacob made a soccer goal his first game of the season, and since then every team he's played against has been pretty competitive, and it's been harder for him to get another goal. He likes playing though, and his buddy Joseph (who's also in his kindergarten class and lives around the corner from him) is on the team with him. Jacob also started Tball this month. He's only played one game, and he has two friends from church on his team. So that makes it more fun. Jacob says he likes tball the best. I think it's because there aren't a bunch of kids fighting over the ball and he always gets to hit. Jacob isn't a real aggressive player. He'd rather do stuff where he doesn't have to fight to get a shot or a goal or whatever. He's happy playing the sports though, and he's even in karate. Next year we're scaling back and making him choose one sport! Too much of this will wear me out!

My 30th Birthday

I'm a little late in getting this posted, but I celebrated my 30th birthday on April 12th. I had a great, relaxing birthday this year. Lucky for me my birthday fell on a Saturday, so I was able to have Dave home with us. He made me breakfast in bed, then we went to Jacob's soccer game. We picked out some movies and came home and watched them. I believe we got "Dan in Real Life" and "I am Legend". I enjoyed both of them. Then I got to go to a salon and get a massage, following that Dave's sister Carrie took me to get a pedicure. We got back home and had my birthday cheesecake with the kids, then we got ready for my birthday dinner. We had a babysitter and went with Carrie and her husband Travis to a dinner theatre. The company was called "Hunt Mysteries" and the show was "A night on the Red Carpet". The show was at an Italian restaurant up in Ogden. We had a good time, and it was nice doing something that we don't normally do. The actors were pretty funny, quite cheesy, but that's to be expected. It was fun watching them make fools of themselves. Here are some pictures of us eating Cheesecake Factory cheesecake and some from the dinner show.

My parents just got their mission call in the mail today. They have been waiting for about 2 months now to receive it. There were several things that happened that held up the call. First my dad had to get his blood pressure down and was on medication for a couple weeks, then once they got their paperwork together they were having trouble with the site to send in the paperwork, then they sent it off and somehow it got lost in cyberspace. So even though their stake president sent the paperwork, the mission office didn't show that they received it. That took a couple days to figure out. Once they received it, the stake president made in error when entering the prostate levels for my dad. It was supposed to be .7 and he put 6.7. Which was a red flag. They called and alerted my parents and they saw that it was entered wrong. So that got fixed, and finally a few weeks later they have received their call to.........................
Copenhagen, Denmark! I had a pretty sure feeling that that's where they would go because that's where my dad served his mission, and when they met with one of the men from their stake who's on the mission call committee, he told them there was a need for senior couples in Denmark. So that's where they've been sent to serve. They enter the MTC on September 8th, so have the whole summer to wait. But it will be worth the wait, they will love it I'm sure. My dad always wanted to go back to Denmark someday.

Breaking News...

So as I mentioned on my last post, we went to the doctor yesterday for our ultrasound. We are pretty sure that we're having another...

...BOY!!!!

We're excited to be having a little boy. We aren't 100% certain yet that it's a boy, but we did see something there on the ultrasound, so chances are pretty good. At first I got the feeling that we were gonna have another girl, but the week before we went to the doctor, my intuition was telling me that it would be a boy. I know Jacob is very excited to have a little brother, and Kera is happy about it too. She doesn't seem too disappointed. I think they'll just love have a little baby in our home to take care of and to play with.

That's our excited news for now. I go to the hospital for a detailed ultrasound next month, and hopefully the baby will be 100% healthy. Now it's time to start figuring out boy names...Hmm, decisions, decisions. My cousin Emily suggested a real winner to me. A friend of hers from high school is having a boy and they're naming him Yah-ya. She was hoping they're joking. That probably won't be making the list.

Entertain Yourself...
Some of you may remember this smiley matching game from Christmas time. Here is one in honor of Mother's Day coming up. Now you can have something fun to do while you wait to find out what we're having! And I even updated my music list so you don't have to listen to the same boring old songs that I had on my blog forever. This is especially for you sis cuz I know you need something to do to keep yourself busy at work! :)

Tomorrow...

You'll be wanting to check out my blog again soon because we find out tomorrow (hopefully) what the sex of our baby is. As long as the baby cooperates we'll find out the sex. I'm really anxious to find out what we're having, although it feels good to have the pressure off now that we have a boy and a girl already. Will Jacob be getting a little brother? Or will Kera have a new little sister? Find out tomorrow!!
