It's a boy!!!

We had an ultra sound a month ago, and found out we're having a boy!! Sorry for the late update, I haven't been on the computer much lately. We are very excited! We picked out the name Ethan. We're still trying to figure out what middle name to give him. I've been thinking of Daniel though. Here I am at 25 weeks pregnant. So last week I got started painting the room the boys will share. I was waiting to make sure we were having another boy before keeping the nautical theme I originally thought of for Kaleb's room. Here's a peek of how it turned out... It's hard to tell in the pictures, but I used two different shades of blue for the opposite walls. I couldn't find any nautical kids borders that I liked, so I decided to paint my own. Definitely not a professional painters work, but I was impressed with how it turned out. I made my own stencils and everything. It was a lot of work, but once I got started I was determined to finish. Painting the border was actually pretty fun. I felt like an artist with my paint pallet and brushes.

Utah Road Trip 2009

We took a road trip in August down to Utah for my cousins wedding and the Watts family reunion.We stopped at my friend Rachael's house on the way and got to visit with her family for a bit. Her son Kaden is the cutest little guy!! After visiting with Rachael, we headed off to the Mt. Timpanogos Temple for my cousin Mike's wedding. It was a beautiful wedding, and so much fun to visit with my Aunt, Uncle, and Cousins again.After the reception we made the extra 4 hour drive to the Dickinson family ranch in Cedar city, after driving 6 hours earlier that day from Montana!! We got there at 2 in the morning and were very tired!!!! As you can see the Watts family reunion's are not very small. Jarom's Grandma & Grandpa Dickinson just finished building a beautiful new house at the ranch. We really enjoyed visiting with the family.One day they planned a carnival for all the kids. Here's Kaleb with his carnival tickets. Jarom also did a bubble show for the whole family. We loved it!!We also got to see the newest addition to the family. Jarom's older sister Rebekah just had her 2nd baby girl Kiah. Her she is with Jarom's mom.
We wish we could've stayed longer, but after a couple of days it was time to make the long road trip back home. On the way back we stopped at a hotel in Boise, ID. Kaleb enjoyed riding on the luggage cart. Don't you wish you could be small enough to do fun stuff like that again.
We passed through a beautiful moutain drive and decided to stop and take a picture. After driving 40 hours in 4-5 days we were all exhausted and promised each other there would be no more road trips!!! Well, that is until next year.
