IT"S A BOY!!!!!

Sorry to keep all of you in the dark with what is going on with our family, but things have been a little crazy to say the least. The best and latest news is that we found out we are having a baby boy this time around. We are all super excited. Heather is feeling better as she goes further along, but always complains how this kid is kicking the daylights out of her and giving her crazy emotions all the time. I was the only one who thought it would be a boy this time around. Heather and the girls all thought we would have girl #3. When we found out it would be a boy, Gabrielle said "Oh, man..." in this halarious, disappointed tone of voice.

The other news from our neck of the woods is that we have finally moved into our new home. I am actually amazed at how seemless the process went once the time came. I was able to move the majority of our things from our rental home myself. A couple guys from church helped me with the heavy stuff. Then the next day the real movers came with the rest of our stuff that had been in storage. We have unpacked the majority of it and are slowly getting settled in our new home. The girls love their new rooms and seem to love their new school teachers as well. They have made some new friends in the neighborhood and have been playing outside almost every night. We have to reign them in to finish homework. This home seems to have an unending amount of projects that need to be done, though. Even though it is practically a new home, I have kept myself insanely busy just getting it set up the way we like it. Ceiling fans, dimmers, water softener, reverse osmosis, pool, weeds, etc, etc, and etc. If I finish next year, it will be awesome. I love to be busy and have projects to look forward to. I'll just be glad when things settle down a little so there aren't quite so many projects needing done at once. At least I have a job where I have big chunks of time off to get so much done when I am home.

So far, we have already had visits from friends and family with more visits planned for later on. People just find their way to Vegas it seems. We can't wait to see more of you as time goes by.

Debbie and Brian Visit

My sister Debbie and her husband Brian came on down for a visit this week. They were going to see a show and had time to spend the night with us before their show. We had a blast playing a heated game of Outburst, chowing on pizza and junk food, going for a hike around Red Rock and swimming/hot tubbing in the pool at our new house. It was a lot of fun having them over. We can't wait until we are moved into the new house so we will have more room to have people visit.

The girls have enjoyed their first week of school. They like their teachers and have had fun getting to know kids in their class. They have also started riding the bus that is a short way from where our new home will be. We will be able to walk them to the bus stop every morning before school.

We also found out that there will be a little setback with the house. The carpet won't be available for a week or two. The painters are done, so we are only waiting on the carpet at this point. As soon as it is installed, we will have the rest of our stuff moved in. Things are rapidly moving into place. We can't wait!!! I have been going crazy getting things ready for the new house. I installed the water softener, painted doors and edges, and shopped for all the ceiling fans, door locks and misc odds and ends we will need to get the house ready to move in. Counting down the days!!!
