It's a boy!

Troy and Melanie are having a boy!  The way they revealed the gender was really cute.  The kids picked numbers and then popped the corresponding numbered balloon to pop.  Some how they drew and popped all the balloons but the very last one, which had blue confetti in it.  Cameron and Olivia were of course the ones with the dramatic flair and their faces are cracking me up.  Like it was huge life altering event for them, to find out whether it was a boy or girl.  Of course Liv was rooting for girl and Cameron was hoping for a boy.  Cameron had his wish come true.  We can't wait till the new baby arrives in December.  I need some newborn snuggles!

Kinda trashy

So the kids like to ride their bikes, scooters, and such out in the garage and the driveway and up and down the sidewalk.  It's so unfortunate it looks so trashy out there.  So we try to blend in by wearing pajamas and looking stellar.  Someday I'll miss this trashy alleyway (said me never). 

I'm not sure how Annalise managed to fall off this tiny tricycle when she was actually barely even moving.  But hey, at least she had her helmet on, haha. 

Andy likes to sit and watch the kids shenanigans.  He doesn't bring me the ball to throw anymore, but he still perks up whenever we come outside.  Our old pup is nearing the ends of his days, I think.  We're having to feed him soft food all the time now, as he can't really eat the hard food anymore.  Or he doesn't want to go through the effort to eat it.  But he still moves around okay and seems to have good control of his bowels still.  And he happily follows us around outside and sometimes even wants to play.  It makes me sad to see him so old, but I think he's had a good ole life.  And he's not ready to give up yet.  He still chases the mailman up and down the fence every day.  Maybe when he's not doing that anymore, we'll know its time?

Baptism day

It was sprinkling outside when Cam got baptized, so we took some photos inside the gym before the baptism.  It was a sweet and simple baptism, and then we all went out to eat afterwards.  Cam picked Golden Coral, because he loves the chocolate fountains and allllllll the desserts.  Granny gave talk about baptism, and Seve gave a talk about the Holy Ghost.
