Baby Primus

We had an ultrasound on Wednesday and everything looked good!  The baby seems to be healthy and active!  I am due around February 21.  No, we didn't find out the sex.  I know that drives some people crazy, but that's the way we like doing it.  We're weird I guess.  We are just happy that the baby is healthy and we look forward to meeting it.  It was fun to see it moving around in there. We all went to the ultrasound.  It was hard to get everyone to sit still, of course, but Dan took them out for a little walk during the middle of it.  Colson didn't understand what was going on, but Caden and Collin enjoyed it I think.  Anyway, all is well!!!

We're Moving!!

Dan was offered a new job as a Deputy District Attorney for Umatilla County, which means we will be moving to Pendleton.  We are excited about this opportunity and are looking forward to it.  Dan will start working in the beginning of November.  The kids and I will be going as soon as we can.  It's hard to say when that will be, but the kids are really excited to be living in the same town as my parents, sister and her family, and my grandmother.  It will be fun!

Family Fun at the Apple Orchard!

On Saturday, we drove to an apple orchard and the kids had a great time picking apples off the trees.  They were so excited about it.  At first they tried picking the ones off the ground, then they tried throwing them at each other, which you can imagine how long that lasted without crying, but finally they got the hang of it and started looking in the trees for the big ones with some red on them.  Colson was so cute when he would ask me if a certain one was a good one.  "This good one, Mom?" he would say.  Dan and I lifted Caden and Collin up high and helped them find some good ones to pick, so they loved it.  We ended up getting a few different kinds and came home with alot of fresh, crisp, juicy apples!!! Yum! You know what we'll be eating alot of in the next while!  On the way home the boys each ate an apple and enjoyed the fruits of their labor!

Caden loves riding the bus!

Caden is officially a "bus rider" now and absolutely loves it!  It is working out great for me too, so I am relieved that he likes it so well.  He loves to have me walk him to the bus stop and to be there when he gets off, which of course I am going to enjoy while it lasts!!  

Caden's First Day in the Second Grade

Caden is really enjoying Wright Elementary and his second grade teacher, Mrs. Dunn.  He has already made some new friends and comes home in a great mood every day.  He is doing awesome and I am so proud of the great student and friend that he is, and for the adjustment he has made to this new school.

Caden and Collin are in their second session of swimming lessons right now and they both love it!  It has been great for them, and it's been good for me too.  I have really enjoyed watching them progress and have fun.  I love seeing the smiles on their faces!  They are like fish out there!  Below are some of my favorite video clips and pictures of them swimming, jumping, and diving!!! Enjoy!
