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

Boy!!! And boy were we ever wrong! Mike and I, along with a lot of family and friends were absolutely for sure that this baby was a girl...but to all of our amazment, its another boy! We couldn't be happier, the news overjoyed us both! Mike is so excited (being Irish and all) to have another boy and on St. Patty's day of all days (assuming we have him on our due date.... yeah right!). And Will has given us both some much happiness and love that we just can't wait to see him in action as a big brother! He'll be the best!!

Happy Halloween...Arrgh!

Grace and Will

Tired Pirate!

Will did great this Halloween, he seemed to love the idea of walking up to houses and having people put treats in his bag! We trick or treated with his cousin Grace and a few other kids, which of course made it all the more fun for Will. He was quite the trooper and kept up with the older kids. Of course Mike's shoulders made for a great rest! We had so much fun with our little pirate and can't wait for next Halloween!

Solitude hike!

We went for a hike up to Lake Solitude, it was beautiful! The wildflowers were out and the weather was perfect! Will also got to ride the chair lift, which he thought was pretty cool!

Will's first pony ride!

I took Will to Thanksgiving Point not thinking that he would want to hop right on a pony, but to my shock he did just that. We watched the pony's take kids on one ride and that was it...he had to try it! He picked out the horse he wanted to ride, his name was Sugarbay, very cute and one of the larger ponies. I put him on that pony and I swear it was like he had been riding ponies his whole life. He held on to the saddle and grinned from ear to ear! He loved it, so of course we had to ride them again...and it had to be Sugarbay that he rode. I was SO proud of him, I think I was grinning just as much as he was. I wanted to tell everyone..."check out my son.....he's riding a pony.....ya first time, he's a natural!!!" I was oozing with pride! Will also loved the goats, the bunnies and the donkey! I was bummed Mike wasn't there with me to see his boy ride a pony, next time dad's for sure coming! And I swear Will was smiling, but apparently I didn't catch any on camera.

3 Joys

My family! Nothing brings me more joy than having my family close to me and knowing that we are all happy and healthy!

Traveling with my family! Mike and I love to travel together. We've taken so many wonderful vacations together and I can't wait for more! Plus its always so much fun to show Will new places and let enjoy the whole traveling experience! He's a great traveler by the way!

Seeing Will with Mike...makes my heart burst with joy! I have these moments all the time when I see them together. My heart swells up and I occasionally burst into tears!

3 Fears

Mice...if you want to see me jump on a table faster than you can blink...have a mouse around.

Someone I love being diagnosed with a grave illness.

Having my family in danger.

Goals

To have another healthy, happy baby!
