100% Baby Girl

Thursday, August 20, 2009 10:30 pm Posted in Uncategorized

We had a 3D/4D ultrasound this afternoon that confirmed we are DEFINITELY having a girl 🙂 YAY!  Unfortunately, baby girl did not want to hold still or move her hands away from her face. We were there for 30 minutes & I think she put her hands down twice. She kept kicking herself in the face, too!  The kids enjoyed the large screen display (and the LincolnLogs) and Keagan kept pointing at the screen saying, “what’s that?”  It was a good memory. .. if only I had brought my CF card along in my camera. I’m getting REALLY bad about that.

Mary - I love her already! My girls are thrilled too! Coley is so happy that Kennedy will get a bunk bed too. 🙂

Amber Hanshaw - Hooray! I bet Kennedy is so excited! Our little girl would not cooperate with face shots at all either…her legs were up in front of her face the whole time. Guess I’ll have to wait another 6 weeks to see her. 🙂

Christine - I am so excited for all of you! Praise God!!! I showed Braiden and he thought that the baby had been born so he was taken back when he looked at the picture…he wanted to know if it was plastic???!!! Oh his three year old mind thinks up some interesting things.

Abby - How Amazing. Anna is looking at the pictures with me and she asked where the baby’s foot is and when I said “I’m not sure” she said “silly, it’s in her belly”-duh mom. So excited for my new neice.

Andrea - I”m so excited for you!!! When you said Lola on your blog the other day I wanted to ask but then didn’t just in case! wonderful wonderful wonderful!!! I’m so glad to know I’m not the ONLY one who forgets their CF card 🙂 I now keep one in my purse – LOL!

Tiffany - How wonderful, Emily. I so wish we could have had one of those for L and E.

emily - I know, Tiffany! Now that we’ve done it- I wish we would have done it with each of our kids!

The Hartungs met us in Tahoe on their way home from Washington. Our kids play together SO well- we all had such a great time!!

_MG_8458This is Kennedy reeling in her 12″ fish! She was eatin’ it up! Not literally, though- we never did BBQ those trout!

_MG_8482Do they know how to smile for the camera, or what?

_MG_8576This was a VERY fun bike ride through “Camp Rich,” as the locals call it. Keagan didn’t think it was very fun- he was having some issues that day:)

Sara - I love all the pictures. Glad you had a fun trip. I’ve always heard good things about Tahoe. I also love Kennedy’s polka-dot tank. I got the same one for Ava 🙂 Cute stuff.

Hallie - So, let me get this straight you just killed the trout, stuck it in the fridge and then thought…nah? Fish Killers. I think that’s why Keagan is so upset.

August 20, 2009 - 10:55 am

Shaycam - Caedmon’s Batman t-shirt…I’m totally in to it.

August 20, 2009 - 11:39 am

emily - Jesus killed fish too, you know?!

August 20, 2009 - 3:36 pm

Hallie - Yah, and He ate them…

August 20, 2009 - 5:35 pm

Cari - Jesus was a fisher of men, girls!!! Read your Bible please.

August 21, 2009 - 12:23 am

Mary - Did we mention that we just left all the fish in the refrigerator at the hotel? 🙂

August 21, 2009 - 11:00 pm

Julie - Emily, Emily, Emily! Can your family get ANY CUTER? I.think.not. I just wanna squeeze your little girl and your boys….ugh….they make me want another boy. So darn precious! Congrats on the bun in the oven! Beautiful!

We {heart} Tahoe.

We just spent an incredible week in South Lake Tahoe. Here are some of the things we did: reading (LOTS of it!), morning walks/ bike rides to Starbucks, activities & games at the activity center, swam at the pool, played in the Lake (well, the kids did – it was FREEZING!!), ate at Chevy’s- YUM!, ate at KFC- not so YUM, mountain biking (James & the boys, not me), James- mountain bike race, played with dog named Chewy & another dog named Lola, decided to name the baby Lola – it rolls right off the tongue- Lola Lycklama,see??,  bbq’d with the Hartungs, drank more Starbucks- marble mocha macchiatos, visited Emerald Bay, went fishing at a trout farm and Canyon caught a deformed fish- he was no charge, Kennedy caught the largest in our family, rode bikes at Camp Richardson, ate HUGE ice cream cones at the local ice cream parlor, played with wiki sticks, watched Firehouse Dog & Bolt, enjoyed the clean air… it was wonderful.
