Pickin' some Pumkins!!

Eli started Pre-school and one of his field trips was to the pumpkin patch and the boys loved every minute of it!

I couldnt figure out how to crop Eli out of the pic.. I need someone that is blog savvy to show me how to be a bloggin diva!

Branson was upset because he said I was takin' too many pictures and this is him rebelling!

As I looked back over the blog the last couple of years (cant believe its been that long since I started bloggin) I realized this is as close to scrap bookin' as I'm ever gonna get so I made a new resloution to post more blogs!

Gleaning Taters'

Branson and I riding in the back of the truck while going thru the fields!!!

Branson was really good at finding potatoes and would usually run ahead of everyone to find the biggest one's!

Do you see how little his potatoes are? He kept saying he was picking Eli size potatoes and if they were really small they were the "new baby's potatoes"!!

Branson and Granma Brenda!!

Eli......and NO I did not help him pick out that outfit:)

Time to update the blog!!! We are loving Idaho and have really enjoyed spending so much time with the grandparents and cousins!!!! My uncle owns a farm and let us come glean the potatoes out of the field after the harvesting trucks had gone thru and the boys loved every second of it!!!Our new little man is coming in about 31/2 weeks and I will try and post pics of my belly soon!!! Stay Tuned!

Aloha Idaho!!!

My handsome husband!!! Yum...he is just so stinkin cute!!

Eli totally not caring about all of the sand that our in his crackers!!

Well....Today is our official last day Hawaii residents.....so for everyone in Idaho.....get ready to party with the one and only!!!! I will miss everyone so much and I am so grateful to all of the people that we have met and all of the friends we have made in Hawaii....We will miss you guys so much!!!! More than anything I am going to miss my husband more than he will ever know over the next few months and am trying to keep my crying and emotional breakdowns to a minimum which is hard because you know how pregnant people get !!! These are pics of our last few days on the island!! We thought that we should party it to the max!!!

Little man 4D style :)

I'm Leaving back to Idaho and Scott will be leaving on Deployment so we decided to do a 4D ultrasound of the little man before he left so he could have some fun pics of the unborn to look at while underway. The boys came with us to the ultrasound place and loved looking at the baby! Eli seems the most excited (partly because he has no idea whats coming!!!). We had the big ultrasound done (where they measure everything and make sure all the parts are there) about 2 weeks ago and he was sitting breach with his legs and hands above his head and sure enuf.......2 weeks later the little man is in the exact same position!!! During the ultrasound we tried every position to get him to move some of his extremeties but to no avail..he is one stubborn little man!!! Hopefully that's not a sign of things to come!!!

7 Amazing Years!!!!!

This weekend is Scott and I's 7 year Wedding Anniversary!!!! Holy Smokes!! Time has really flown by and I'm starting to feel old!!! I have been married 7 years!! I remember when we were newlyweds and thinking that being married for 5 years would be so long and now its been 7!! I feel so blessed to be able to say that with each passing year our lives only get better and my love for Scott grows in ways I never thought possible.I'm so excited when I think about all of the good times we will have in the future! He is such an amazing man and that treats me like a Queen (most important) and I am so happy each and every morning (well the days he is not out to sea or on duty) to wake up next to him in bed. For the first time ever Scott and I are going on a little Honeymoon alone to Kauai for the weekend and I cannot wait!!!! We are leaving the boys with grandma Denise (so gratful to her for flying to Hawaii to watch them and to party with us for a couple of weeks) and we are gonna go have some crazy fun!!!!! Yeeeeeehaaaaaaa

p.s. the picture is blue because we are under the water in a submarine!!

ON THE MOVE!!!! Goodbye Hawaii!!!!!!!

We have been on the Island over a year and a half sooooooo naturally its about time for us to say Goodbye to Hawaii!!! We are sad to leave our friends and the lives we have created here and will miss everyone a ton, but very excited to move to Idaho for a few months!!!! We could technically stay here until the end of the year but Scott is leaving for deployment at the end August or beggining of September and won't be home until a couple of days (literally) if we are lucky.......before baby # 3 is born and then we would be moving a couple of weeks after that. The reality of moving 6,000 miles across the ocean 2 weeks after a c-section with a newborn and 2 boys was a little daunting and being an ocean apart from any family the last 3 months of my pregnancy just didnt sound like much fun so naturally.... I decided to move home (Idaho) when Scott leaves on deployment. We are sooooo excited!!!! We haven't lived around family since we were newlyweds....I think this is going to be a great chance for the boys to get to know and love there cousins, aunts, uncles and most importantly grandparents much better!!!!! It will also be very nice to have some help wathcing the boys when I am 9 months pregnant!!!! We will be in Idaho until Februaryish..and then we will be on the move again to Washington state where we will hopefully live for a few of years! The longest we have lived anywhere in the last 3 years so we are getting excited to put down some roots of sorts...... Branson is starting Kindergarten in Idaho and is very excited!! Eli can't wait to sit in the Hot Tub with grandpa (such a sport!) and eat string cheese and Diet Coke (a tradition they started on our last trip home:::) {pictured above} Did I mention they love squirt guns too???? :)Anyone who lives in Idaho plan to PARTY with me!!!!!!!! (as much as a pregnant lady can)!!!!!!

100% Boy!!

We just got our 19 weeks ultrasoud done and it is 100% boy!! We are very excited!!! We just can's think of very many names!! We are open for suggestions!!!!
