We had our ultrasound a week or so ago and we were excited to find out that we are having a baby girl! The kids are happy about that ( the boys joked that we would have to just keep trying for a boy). She looks healthy and everything is going fine with my pregnancy. I feel great and I am not sick anymore.
The basement is coming right along. Jason is working on sheetrock now and it is looking really good. We have a guy coming to tape and texture and paint in a week so we have to get the sheetrock hung. Jason passed off his framing and electrical inspection so we can work toward the final inspection now.
The kids are doing great. Kiley is keeping really busy with the choirs she is participating in and her voice lessons. She has festival coming up and she has been working really hard on her songs. She has been babysitting a little too and saving up for her trip to DC this summer. She can't wait for that.
Will is doing great and loving school this year. He is taking advanced Math and just can't get enough of it. He has a great teacher and always comments that math is the best and most fun part of his day. He definately does not get that from me.
James is doing good in 4th grade and enjoying the recorder and phys. ed. He is growing and probably soon to pass up Will in height. James is enjoying the snow pile out in the middle of our cul-de-sac. He loves going out there and climbing and sliding down the hill after school. He is also loving scouts.
Kate is still spunky and very opinionated. She loves to wear lip gloss and sneaks into Kiley's makeup at least once a week. She loves kindergarten and loves to read. She is learning fast and a whole new world is opening up to her because of reading. She is so boy crazy and I don't know what to think of that. She is not shy about the boys she is crushing on and even drew Caleb's picture on her Valentine bag for school and wrote his name above it. I asked her why she drew his picture on the bag. She said she wants him to know she likes him, just incase he likes her too. YIKES! Any advice? Isn't that a little forward for kindergarten? She is normally so shy and all my other kids too. I don't know how to handle her sometimes. I do love that she is very bold and says what she thinks.
I have been busy with the kids and house and we are all looking forward to spring. We are hoping to get the theater room finished in the basement in time for the release of "New Moon" which I think is March 20. I think that would be a great time to try out the projector in our new basement.

WAHOO!!!! Congratulations on a sweet baby girl!!!! I am glad you are feeling better and that your kids are doing so well. Kate is a little artist. He looks cute, I can see why she has a crush (sorry no advice, haven't headed down that road yet). We love you guys!
I need to do a big catch up blog post like you did. So many fun things going on in your family! I'm excited you are having a girl. That's funny about Kate liking a boy named Caleb in her class. I was not boy crazy at all and neither is Emma, but I wouldn't be too worried about Kate. :)
yahoo!!! I was going to call you this week... thought of you when I was eating fritos and chili (remember that snack from hs days?) How exciting that you're having another girl. REALLY exciting, I think!
I love the pic of Kate's Valentine bag. She's brave, man! But then again, I was pointing my milk carton at Ryan E. from kindergarten on, just in case he liked me... and it got me nowhere! ha! so, maybe don't be too alarmed. :)
Will try to call sometime this next week. Love ya!
Oh, I'm SO excited!!! I can't wait to meet her! Glad you are feeling better. That part of pregnancy is the absolute pits! Sounds like you guys are so busy. I love the story of Kate, and it actually reminds me a little bit of Madison, and I've just told her she's too young for a "boyfriend", she just needs to be friends with everyone. She has obeyed my wishes, at least that's what she's telling me! HAH!!! Love you!
Ashlynn is the same as far as crushing goes. But she is not as bold ( I dont think anyways) that really makes me laugh that Katie is that upfront about it. what a cutie.
