August 2007

So, we found out we're having a boy come the end of November! We actually let the doctor tell Ryan, that way we were not the bad guys. We're all pretty excited to have a new addition to our family. It will be kind of weird because now we're all set in our ways and we're spoiled with our time and what we do with it.

We've finally finished the basement of our house & it is so nice to have done. I told Jeff that I'm done with projects for a while. He's just excited because 1) we won't have to spend every spare minute down there working and 2) he now thinks he has somewhere besides the garage to put his various animal mounts. I can deal without the mounts in the house, they're creepy & I feel like they're just about to eat me when they are just there lurking on the wall.


Summer is almost over and it feels like it just began. I wondered to myself what we would possibly do with the day once school let out for summer and now it's about to start back up again. I think we're all ready for Ryan to have something to fill his day besides which games Mom will play with him today. You know, I can only play Go Fish & Candyland so many times a day and the neighbors really don't need him at their house by 8:10 in the morning. At 4-years old, Ryan can swim better that I could have imagined. When we go to St. George to visit Gram & Grandpa John, we start the day with swimming & end it with swimming & we swim in between. Usually by 8:00 am Ryan wants to be in the pool. He loves to show us flips and dives. The first time he did a front flip off the diving board, we asked, who taught you how to do that? His reply: "My Uncle Craig!" Not surprising because Uncle Craig loves to rough Ryan up in the pool and always persuades him to do pretty daring stunts.
