Here's a funny family pic we took about 4 weeks ago. Most of you have probably already heard the news but it's still fun to spread the word. I got to hear the heart beat today and we'll be getting the ultrasound in November. (girl, girl, girl, girl)

Anyway, a little more about us per my friend Tycie's request (sorry to disappoint you with the last post, Mitz). Cody's coaching football and so far the team is 5 and 0! He's still Scout Master, trying to tame and teach those crazy 12 and 13-year-olds. He's started his Master's degree but due to so much time devoted to Scouts and football, he's taken this semester off.

Jaxon just finished his soccer season. He actually learned about team work this year and took the game more seriously. It was so much more fun to watch. He's 9 now and in 4th grade. He likes science the most and LOVES Bill Nye the Science Guy. Maybe he'll be just like Bill someday.

Jacey is 7 and in the 1st grade. She's a funny little girl. She loves the usual seven year old girl stuff like nail polish, lip gloss, princesses, dress-ups, and playing with friends. She's learning to read and doing fairly well. We'll see what her teacher says at Parent/Teacher Conferences. She wants to be a "gymnastics" or a "ballerina" when she grows up.

Javen is 3. He goes to Joy School for two hours, two days a week. He's making friends and enjoys the socializing. He's my sweet boy, even though he does naughty 3-year old things; like today I asked him to please go get a diaper for Jentz and he looked me in the face and shouted, "NO!" Then a few minutes later he wanders away and comes back all happy with a diaper in his hand. He just can't resist. Looks like he inherited his daddy's conscience.

Jentz is almost 21 months. He talks like nobody's business and he's beginning to be "two" if you know what I mean. He's into EVERYTHING, leaving trails of evidence from one adventure to the next. He's a happy boy, though and LOVES his brothers and sister.

I, the pregnant one, am a Wolf Den Leader for the Cub Scouts and the Nursery Leader in my ward. I'm tired all the time, grouchy most of the time, in the bathroom lots of times, and sometimes I think I'm actually fun to be around. I'm just pregnant, okay! Don't get all judgmental or I might cry about it!! But don't worry, I'll be laughing about it moments later, and laughing hysterically until I cry again and then I'll get mad that I'm crying when I was just trying to laugh and.................... you get the idea.

[Hope that'll hold you over, Tycie. You COULD CALL me ya know? Oh, wait! That would totally mess up our annual birthday phone call. So talk to you next month!]

P.S. Happy Birthday Mom!!!! I love you!
