it's a...........

so thanks to cousin natalie, we tried something different this time around. instead of finding out what the baby was right then and there at the doctor's office, we had the ultrasound technician call a bakery with the baby's sex...and then we had family over last night to join in on the fun...chad wasn't such a fan of the idea...he really wanted to peak during the ultrasound, but it turned out to be a success!!

cutting the cake...ooooh, what's it gonna be???!!!! pink???? or blue????

and it's........

BLUE!!!!! yay!!! zac was sooooo excited, as you can tell from the picture...for the last couple of days, he's been saying "mom, i REALLY hope the cake is blue!! i REALLY want a brother!!"

needless to say, we can't wait to have another baby boy in our home!! (and thanks again natalie, for the fun, fun idea!!)

the bug

emerson has caught the bug already...

and we're all recovering from a nasty cold bug that paid us a visit last week...i'm finally getting my voice back, so that's a plus. we did find out through this whole ordeal that the reason emerson has had pneumonia 3 times since april is probably due to the fact that she has asthma...poor girl. is asthma something you can grow out of? probably something i should research. :)

halloween house

we may be bad bloggers, but we're sure having fun getting ready for halloween!! hope you are too!!! :)

p.s. these houses are much improved from years past...they come pre-assembled! so all we do is the decorating!! we found ours at walmart for only $10!!
