Oops, I did something to my blog. Any advice? Hopefully, Jared can get it fixed for me.

Family Pictures 2008

Here are our family pictures for 2008. Thank you to our friends, the Bundersons, for coming out with us and swapping picture taking of both our families. It was a tiring, grueling day. But it was worth it.

Shots all around!

Flu shots for everyone. The girls said they weren't going to cry so we took the camera to prove it. Jared cheated by getting his done before the rest of us got there. I think he should have had to get it done again so we can have a "family photo moment" of us all getting flu shots.

Alivia, always so brave. Kayla has always been our kid who fears the doctors more than needed. As a little kid, it took more than the doctor, me, and the nurse just to check her ears. So when it was her turn we had to force her to sit down. But then she didn't even know it was over. Parker squirmed a little. But not one tear was shed!!!

Who Looks at our Blog?

I think we will find out within the next couple of days, who looks at our blog. So did anybody notice the new gadget on the side. Yep, it's true. And we are announcing a bit earlier than last time, we're only 15 weeks! Last time I think we waited long enough for some of my neighbors to start talking. More like snickering behind my back, "Have you noticed Erin has put on a few pounds." :) :) And with every pregnancy, I feel like that flabby -not pregnant - looking tummy comes a little faster. We have had too many times of actually, it's not happening this time. So I prefer to wait to tell until it is official! I have pretty easy pregnancies with not a whole lot of sickness. But this time, I REALLY didn't feel pregnant. Not at all. So at my 12 week checkup they couldn't hear a heart beat. I'm sure the nurse thought I was crazy when I said, "I'm not surprised." I've been very pessimistic. So I went back in at 14 weeks. They found a heartbeat, but it took awhile. :) I'm feeling like it is a girl. Who knows, maybe we will be surprised. After Parker I was really hoping for a little boy next. Someone to be his little buddy. Plus, we have two girls so we need two boys. That makes the room sharing thing a whole lot easier. But we'll be happy with whatever we get. The new little headbands and flowers that baby girls are wearing are sooo cute.

Harvest Time

One day in August I decided pictures in the grain would be fun. So about three days later, we got up and went to the grain field. We drove by probably 10 fields that were freshly cut. I was about to give up and then we found one small patch still left untouched. I always have perfect timing. :) The sun was so bright that day that I had troubles getting the kids to look at me. But the pictures turned out cute anyway. A golden grain field and a perfectly blue Idaho sky has to be one of my favorite sights.
