Yes it is true. We are pregnant with baby number 3! Chris and I are both very excited. Porter thinks it will be a baby brother and Lucy wants a sister so either way we will be happy. Just healthy please. No more heart problems. I have been very sick as always, but in good spirits, just tired. My due date is July 14th! Happy birthday to me.

Sick on Halloween!!! So sad...

Six weeks ago we took Chris to the clinic because we thought his appendix had burst. After a check up with labs they discovered that Chris had kidney stones. The last month has been so hard on him. It seems like every few days he would get pain that was so intense he couldn't stand up. He had a CAT scan and met with the urologist, but they told him he should be able to pass the stones with time. I have been so worried about him. He has had to miss 6 day of work and still nothing. Last Tuesday we ended up back at the clinic again. Chris's kidney was now infected and inflamed, he was having numbness in his hands and feet and horrible pain. They told us his electrolytes were all thrown off and after labs, another x-ray, two shots in the butt, and lots of percocet we went back to the urologist. This time they said that he wouldn't be able to pass the stones on his own and he needed to have them shattered. The Lithotripsy procedure went very well. I had to go to work because I had Parent Teacher Conferences. Chris's parents were wonderful. His dad took the day off to take him to the hospital and Jan stayed home with our kids. I felt terrible not being there, but that is life. Since Thursday Chris has been mostly laying around trying to recover. He is a champ. Last night I took the kids around the neighborhood trick-or-treating while Chris stayed home and passed out candy. We love our sicky and hope he feels well soon. It has been a long month of pain.

They are getting so big!

Is it possible to love them a little more each day? I do! They are just so cute lately. Lucy loves to sing and dance. Every time she does something good she looks up at me, smiles big, and yells, "I did it." Porter is getting so tall. He is my little helper. He does homework, takes out the garbage, and picks up his clothes and toys. We have been reading "The Magic Tree House" books. We are on book seven. I love these babies!

Gardner Village!

If you haven't been down to Gardner Village, you need to go see the witches. We stopped by on our way to Mary's before the Real soccer game. I got some really cute pictures of the kids at their petting zoo. We thought we would get some retail therapy, but after 25 minutes of three kids and whinny husbands we decided to just get dinner and go home.

New REAL Stadium!

Chris and Steve have been sooooo excited to go to a game at the new REAL Salt Lake Soccer Stadium in Sandy, Utah. Chris and Steve have been season ticket holders now for 3 years. We are holding our breath to see if they make it to the playoffs. Go REAL!!!

1940's Murder Mystery Dinner

We had so much fun last night at Georgio Genoli's Italian Restaurant (aka Kyle and Bonnie Harris's House). We were invited to a 1940's Murder Mystery Dinner. Chris dressed up as Bud Weiser--a captain in the United States Navy and I starred as Sissy Devine--a lounge singer at the Blue Beat Jazz Club. I am pleased to say that neither Bud or Sissy murdered anyone, but Bud did state that he would be having "sexy time" with Sissy not Gina. We had great food and a ton of fun! Thanks Bonnie and Kyle!

Arghhhhh- It's a Pirate Party

We can't believe that our little man is 5! His birthday is on October 1st. Porter decided he wanted to have a pirate birthday party this year. All of our family and friends came dressed as pirates. We had a pirate ship pinata and dug for buried treasure (nickles in the sandbox). My good friend Michelle made an amazing pirate ship cake that was eaten to the last crumb. Thank you Michelle! (She is taking orders!) We had a yummy barbecue and loved being able to visit with everyone. Porter loved all of his presents. Thank you to all!
