Flying Kites
It has been so windy lately that we've had so much fun with our new 7 ft. kite! Abby literally has to hold on with 2 hands when she does it or it pulls right out of her grip!

It's a GIRL!
Making her web debut, here is baby #3! I'm so excited and truthfully felt it was a girl this whole time! I was only really prepared to hear the words "girl" come from the ultrasound technicians mouth, so good thing I was right =) I actually feel very spoiled right now. The BIG ultrasound will be in 3 weeks to check all the things that could be wrong or right with her... once again I feel so blessed and spoiled to have normal and healthy children! Normally wild that is!

By the way, I'm Pregnant
Due February 22, 2009 which seems like forever away because it's 2009!
Abby really wants a girl, and to name her "Lolli... Lollipop" her words exactly! She also thinks the baby will be coming out of my mouth. I'm not to ready to correct her on that one just yet. Several times a week she will come up to me and say she wants to touch the baby, while patting my slight tummy. Parker hasn't a clue, but Abby is all about it!
I've been feeling SUPER tired. I had about 3 weeks of yucky in July, with no appetite and in bed or on a couch most of the day. I'm thankful to now just have the tiredness, which I can live with! Abby and Parker (& Jon) are great about letting my sleep in as much as possible in the mornings. Parker will come in my room after an hour or two and pick my clothes up off the floor and shove them in my face. Then he'll pull me down to the fridge for food, but by this time it's usually 8am so I can handle it! Thank goodness for Noggin at 7am!
I had an ultrasound 3 weeks ago and this baby will fit right in... wild and crazy! It was pretty cute to see. My vote is that I think it's a girl because I was never sick with Abby, but this was way worse than Abby, so maybe it's just a 3rd baby thing! ...will let you know in 6 weeks!

VdM Reunion Time
Jon sent the kids and I to Utah a week early so that we could enjoy the annual Van de Merwe Family Reunion at East Canyon... we L-O-V-E-D it! The kids were so entertained and the food was YuMMy-licious! Thanks Grandpa for taking us on our once in a lifetime HOT AIR BALLOON ride! Parker was scared to death, clinging to me for dear life and Abby was not quite sure about it but managed to smile and wave!
More pictures to come... I have to go get ready for my hot date tonight!

the Book of Mormon in the mind of a 3 year old
Yesterday Abby and I sat on the couch and looked at the pictures in the front of the Book of Mormon. She knew Jesus and Joseph Smith and then I told her who the rest of them were. When we got to the last one- Moroni, I explained that Moroni's daddy's name was Mormon, and this is his book- the Book of Mormon. I realize now I shouldn't have said it that way but she's 3!
So she said "Well, let's give it back to him." A few seconds later "...well, maybe we can share it."
Later that day she wanted to know when Jesus is coming to our house. What in the world do I say to that one? I just said "someday sweetie. someday."

...SO Happyyyyyy Togetherrrrrrrrr......
Brynn & Abby did not see each other for about 2 whole months May and June because of overlapping vacation. Obviously they survived, and listening to their little phone conversations was pretty cute... here are some pictures of how joyous their 'reunion' was this month...
And the boys apparently like each other now too! They're both at the age where they're learning how to share. As you can see they have many similar interests including baby dolls and buses!
We have been spoiled having the Wilsons so near us for this long (6+ years)... O the tears that will be shed when finally we go our separate ways next year :( sniff, sniff.
