Boy or Girl?

Can you guess what we're having....watch this little video and you'll soon find out.

Yep, it's true, we are having a BABY GIRL! As you can tell from the video the boys aren't too excited at the news of a baby sister. I was hoping that the candy would help distract them and keep them happy, but they had their minds already set on a boy. At the end of the video Hyrum even says, "I hate girls." Yikes! I think we've got our work cut out for us. A few nights ago before bed we were talking to the boys about whether our baby was a boy or girl and here's what they said:

Hyrum- "If it's a girl I'm going to smack myself in the face."

William- "It's a boy because we only have boy toys."

Thomas- "Babee"

I guess since boys is all they're used to (besides all the friends and cousins they have which are girls) it's going to take a little bit to convince them that a sister will be just as fun.

As for Dave and I, we're just tickled to be having a girl. I absolutely love my boys and would have loved a 4th, yet I have to admit that I've been giddy and smiling all day just thinking about our precious little one. I suppose a whole new world of adventures lies ahead for us, but for now I'm just going to soak in all the joy of the moment!

Trip to Taos

On Labor Day we spent the day in Taos, enjoying the sights. We've lived in New Mexico for 4 years now and haven't ventured out of Albuquerque much. It was fun to see a new place. As part of our trip we drove up to Taos Ski Valley and for a brief moment I felt like we were back home in Utah amongst the aspens. It was beautiful and the air was so crisp and fresh....oh I wish we lived closer to the mountains! At the end of the day we were tired and the boys were sick of riding in the car; however, I found myself so full of happiness. It is always rewarding to spend quality time together as a family. There truly is no greater joy that I find than watching my children delight in the simple things of life (like the pictures below of them riding on a mechanical horse).
