It's a........!!!

Well, we had our ultrasound yesterday! You may all need to sit down for this.....it's a girl!!!For those that didn't sit down you may now pull yourself up of the floor! The radiologist said that there is no doubt that it is a girl- believe me we asked many times if she was sure! We are very excited and still kind of trying to take it all in. I am not used to saying "her" and "she"! Most importantly though, she looked super perfect and healthy. We had another 3D ultrasound so it was super clear and we could see soooo much. We were able to see all 4 chambers of the heart clear as could be, the different parts of the brain, we saw her swallowing and the fluid in her stomach and bladder. It is truly amazing!

The boys are excited too. Jack has expressed some concern over having girl toys in the house but overall they are looking forward to having a little sister! Will already asked yesterday if we could go buy her some little girl Bronco clothes! Oh...we will!

Here are some pictures from the ultrasound. She is so much bigger that she was 9 weeks ago that I have a few face pictures and one of her cute feet!

You can see her face- eyes and nose. Her hand is up by her face.A side profile of her face- one hand is by her mouth and the other is by her forehead.

Some cute footsies and skinny little legs! Her feet look so big!

Back track a little....

Okay, so with all of the first day of school stuff going on I forgot to mention our fun trip to St.Louis over Labor Day weekend. We went back for Tim's sisters baby shower (she is due next month-yeah!!!). We caravaned out with Matt, Beth, and the kids. We arrived very late Friday night. On Saturday we got up and all went to Grant's farm. The kids had a blast seeing all of the animals and shows. They had an area where the kids could go in and feed the baby goats from a bottle. The kids enjoyed that until the goats started nibbling on Andrew's shorts and he wanted out!!!

Nicki's shower was in the late afternoon and evening and was really fun. She looks great and got lots of fun and cute baby boy things!

On Sunday we went to Tim's Uncle Kevin's house for a pool party. The boys had lots of fun swimming and goofing around. They were completely wiped out when we left to go to Gmom and Gpop's that night. We got up very early on Monday morning and headed back to CO. Definitely a quick but fun trip!

Jack coming down the slide!!Happy after his trip down the slide!

Another week of firsts...

Will and Andrew both started school this week. Will went on Tuesday for a short day to meet his teachers and new friends. Then he started his normal days on Wednesday. This year Will is going four afternoons a week so he is very excited. He has quite a few friends in his class from last year so he is happy!

Andrew started on Thursday (he only goes one day a week). He had a slightly shorter day the first week (he usually will have lunch at school and this week he didn't). He had no problems at all. We had gone last week to meet his teachers and see his classroom. The teachers met us at the door and he walked right in and never even turned around! I guess that is better than having a screaming child (been there before too!). When we picked him up he was as happy as could be!

Jack and Will both started their soccer games yesterday. This was Will's first soccer game and he was so excited. He smiled the whole time he was out there playing. He had so much fun. He scored five goals and can't wait to play again! He is in the white uniform in the picture below scoring the goal! Jack is playing on a new team this year and he seems to be doing well. He scored a goal yesterday (he will tell you two goals but I was watching and only saw one!!). His team had played together for a few years but he is doing fine as the "new kid"!

Jack is the one kicking the ball!
