We are happy to announce that baby #3 will be joining us in September! We are very excited, but I have several moments a day of being completely overwhelmed and he/she isn't even here yet. We don't know if it's a boy or a girl, but with both of our family's track records, a safe bet is a boy. I am 13 weeks along, so we could know pretty soon. I've been feeling pretty sick and tired, but I know that I'll get through this part. Some days are really good :). We'll post as soon as we know if it's a boy or girl. Either way we will be thrilled.

The Little Guys Having Fun
Nathan and Aaron love playing together. They are cute little guys and it's fun to see them enjoying each other. Aaron is starting to like basketball as much as Nathan. The biggest problem we have is the hoop height. Nathan wants it as high as it can go, but Aaron can't shoot that high. He can shoot on the 4th notch (out of 5), though, so when Nathan is in a good, sharing mood, it works pretty well. Nathan shoots from farther away and Aaron shoots from almost right under the basket. I have a couple of shots of Aaron, but Nathan shoots too fast and far away for me to get a good shot these days. Aaron doesn't care what size the ball is either :).
They both love to color - we need to keep an eye on Aaron because he doesn't quite get the whole stay-on-the-paper part. So I let them "paint" with water. I have some "Water-Wow"- pictures that when they get water on them, it colors like they are painting. The nice thing is once they dry, you can use them again. Nathan loves them. This was Aaron's first time and he just wanted to drink the water.
On Saturday, it was a beautiful day here. Grandma Taylor bought the boys a little picnic table and brought it over. They wanted to eat their lunch outside, so they had a fun little picnic outside. They LOVE being outside. It's snowing today, but it's nice to know that spring is almost here and we can get out more.
Ryan won this headband at an Elder's Quorum basketball activity on Saturday morning. Nathan thought he was pretty cool. He did look darn cute!

February Fun Stuff
We started February by celebrating Ryan's birthday. We had a fun party and of course, lots of cakes with candles for all the little boys to blow out. It's always fun to see the all the little ones gathered around the cake and trying to blow out the candles.
For Young Women's one night we made sugar cookies and delivered them to some people in our ward. There was some extra dough and Nathan wanted to make cookies, so we got out the rolling pin and went to town. We had all sorts of interesting shapes and Nathan had the time of his life cutting the cookies out, decorating, and eating the cookies.
It is so fun to see my little guys playing together and enjoying one another. One day I found them in Nathan's bedroom listening to their Curious George book on CD. They have also started to color together a lot. I have to be careful with them when they are coloring, though. Aaron still hasn't quite got the idea that you only color on paper. And when Aaron does something, Nathan does the same thing, so we have some fun cleaning chairs, walls, and tables that they have colored on. They are cute together whatever they do.

Las Vegas
It has been a long time since I have posted anything. It seems like we have been sick for a long time and it takes awhile to get back into the swing of things. At the end of January, Ryan and I went to Las Vegas for a few days. He had to go to the temple there for work and I got to come along. It was a lot of fun and a nice getaway. The boys stayed at home and both Grandmas came at different times to help.
Ryan was at the temple most of the two days we were there, so I had time to read, relax, walk around, and just have enjoy time alone. We did walk around a little in the Bellagio and ate at some good restaurants- Ryan can give you the run down on those - it's his favorite part of any trip. We also got to do a session in the Las Vegas temple. I had never been there and it was really nice. I met the people that Ryan had been working with and they all said he was very helpful.
When we came home it was so nice to see Nathan and Aaron. I think they were excited to see us, too. The only bad thing about the trip is that I got sick while we were down there and it started about a month of sickness in our family. Ryan never really got it, but the rest of us did - not fun. We are well now, though.
