Guess who's having a baby!
We are going to have a baby!! We are all very excited. Harrison has been saying since we told him about the baby that he wants a sister. We found out on Monday that it's a GIRL! Harrison knew it all along.Tuesday, January 20, 2009
Meet Gniocchi
In October we got a kitten. At first I wondered what I was getting myself into but she is a great cat and the boys love her. Harrison named her Gniocchi after the cat on Curious George.

Aruba, Bahama, come on pretty mama...
Last weekend Damon, Rebecca, and I took my parents to the Beach Boys concert for my mom's birthday. We had so much fun! Every year Verrado has a big "Founder's Day" celebration and this year our beloved Beach Boys performed. It was a great concert, totally family friendly and just a lot of fun. The best part was seeing my mom "getting jiggy with it"!

Happy Halloween
Halloween was a lot of fun this year. The boys were so excited for it, Harrison was talking about trick or treating for months. Both boys had Halloween parties at preschool, Thursday night we went to our ward trunk or treat, and Friday night we visited the Grandparents. The boys had such a fun time trick or treating. At the end of the night I let them choose a few pieces of candy and they left the rest out for the "Great Pumpkin". The Great Pumpkin comes at night and takes their candy but leaves them a surprise. I was explaining this to Jackson and he started to cry, he didn't want the Great Pumpkin to eat his candy. But the boys were pretty excited about the whoopie cushions he left them!
Here are some pictures of our Halloween. Harrison was a skunk, Jackson was a monkey, Damon was Jack in the Box (that he made himself) and I was Wendy's.

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas
On the 17th Damon and I took a trip to Las Vegas. We stayed at the Stratosphere for free because we agreed to waste our time listening to a time share deal. It was fun spending time with just Damon.
We drove both cars to my parent's house so we could drive one to Vegas and leave one for my parents and Rebecca to drive my kids around. While getting on the Loop 101 from Camelback I got in a car accident! There was a car in front of me `and we had the right of way driving on the on ramp to the 101. A huge diesel truck was also on the on ramp and totally cut us off, almost hitting the car in front of me. We slammed on our breaks and missed getting in an accident but the car behind me turned the corner to find us stopped and ran right into me! My car was bigger so there wasn't much damage but his was pretty smashed.
We had a good time seeing the sights, eating buffets, and seeing a show. Tickets to the show were supposed to come with our free gifts from the time share thing but for some reason we didn't get them. We asked another couple if they received theirs and they gave their tickets to us! It was a hilarious show called American Superstar. They had people impersonating Elvis, Tim McGraw, Michael Jackson and Celine Dion.
It was a fun weekend although I was very ready to come home. I missed the boys and those casinos are nasty. We did not buy into the time share, I don't want to spend my money on that but also I don't want to go to Vegas again for awhile.
Here are some of the sights in Vegas.

Camping Trip
I took Harrison and Jackson camping with my parents and Dylan and Victoria last week. We all had some days off school so my parents planned the trip. Damon had to stay home and work, we missed him but that didn't stop us from having fun. The boys loved it, especially drinking hot chocolate and roasting marshmellows. Jackson said the other day, "go camping?" I asked if he wanted to camp again. He said, "roast marmellow!"
We played in the creek, went to Montazuma's Well and the fish hatchery and just played. We went at the perfect time because the weather was warm but not hot and at night it got cool enough to sit in front of the fire and drink hot chocolate. The day we left the wind was blowing and it was cold.
We will probably go camping a lot more because the boys love it so much, but next time I go I am bringing an air mattress.
