Playing Catch-Up!

So, where has the time gone. I don't think i've ever gone this long between posts. So, this one will contain a lot of info! In the past few months we've...

Had a wonderful visit from Christy, Benjamin, and Brinley! Christy drove down from CO, to surprise mom for mothers day! I of course got to enjoy her as well. Ethan and Avery had so much fun with their cousins, Benjamin and Brinley. She was only supposed to stay for the weekend, but mom and I are bad influences and she ended up staying a week! :) We went to the park, went hiking and to the lake, made smores, went shopping, and played, played, played. It was so fun to see them!

Beautiful Brinley, on Nana's shoulders.

It had just rained, and Benjamin found lots of mud, I turned around for 1 minute and this is how we found him!

Getting a shower with the hose, the other kids were quite jealous of this part, but it was a little chilly. Benjamin didn't care!

Ethan still talks about all the funny things that Benjamin did, and how much fun they had together!

We found out that another one of these will be joining our family in January! Ethan wants the baby to be a boy. We will not be finding out the sex this time around so, I have been trying to explain to him that we have to be happy either way!

So far, so good though! This has been the best pregnancy by far. Nausea has been under control for the most part, and I find myself thinking "Wow, I actually feel good right now", way too often. Definitely different food aversions and cravings than before, status...pizza, green olives, eggs, steak, hamburgers OUT! filet-o-fish, black olives, pickles, ANY fruit, salad, I could go on...IN! We are very excited!

Jesse's MBA graduation last weekend! I am so proud of all his hard work, and a solid 3.8 GPA! The ceremony was held in Little Rock, AR. I didn't capture too many pics that I could make out. But, here are some of us waiting for the ceremony to begin, just before it began Ethan fell asleep, making it a little easier on me. It was so fun to see Jesse get his diploma, and we are so proud of him!

The kids, not too happy about having to sit and wait for the ceremony! They had nothin to do, I didn't plan too well.Jesse getting his diploma, sorry it's too dark to see anything. You can kind of make him out on the big screen.
