Baby Update

Now that I am finally getting caught up on the blog, I wanted to announce the results from our ultrasound. Thanks for everyone who took the poll. A few of you actually guessed right. We are having a Boy! I have to admit that I was a little surprised because I really felt we were having a girl, but either way we are happy and can't wait until our new little boy arrives. He is due August 29th. The ultrasound showed that he is growing very well with no complications. He is very active. I told the doctor that I must have a little soccer player in there with as much as he moves. When I announced to the kids what we were having, Makayla said: "I thought we were have a girl." I think she is a little disappointed, but hopefully will love him just as much as she would if he was a little sister instead. Kelseanja doesn't really care as long as she gets to help out when the baby comes. When I told Austin he exclaimed: "Yes, a boy!" Then I told him that this means he will have two little brothers. Makayla overheard me and said: "That means that I will have THREE little brothers, ahh!" Jaxton still doesn't really understand what is happening, but when you ask him where the baby is he points to my belly. We are planning on naming the new baby Trenton Reed MacPherson, a name I feel is truly inspired. Reed was also Adam's Grandpa Jackson's name, so we find it fitting. Anyway, things are going well and we look forward to announcing the birth of our new addition at the end of the summer.

Easter Weekend 2010

For Easter/Conference weekend we visited the Butterfly House again (of course only after watching the first session of General Conference.) Mom and Kaloni came to visit and they hadn't been there before so we took them. We had fun watching the butterflies, taking pictures of the flowers and kids, and checking out the cactus garden outside. When we were done inside, the kids got to search for eggs on the lawn of the Butterfly House. That is the one thing the kids wanted to do most is go on an Easter egg hunt. When we were finished we quickly rushed home and got the kids ready for their portrait appointment. They all did really good smiling for the camera. Jaxton didn't want to sit for a picture with his siblings so we were only able to get one picture of the kids all together. The portraits turned out great though, and the kids all looked so adorable in their new Easter clothes. Sunday, the kids got to check out what the Easter Bunny brought. They gathered bunny tracks and searched for hidden eggs filled with candy. Then we watched General Conference and relaxed the rest of the day. Overall it was a fun weekend.

Haircut

Makayla got a Haircut. Yeah, I know it is short, but she likes it and that is all that matters.

Happy Birthday Jaxton!

Spring Break 2010

Well, normally I would post about Jaxton's birthday party except the camera that has the pictures in it turned up missing. I am sure one of the kids have it hiding somewhere and it will eventually turn up. When it does I will post about Jaxton's birthday, but for now I will post about Spring Break.

The first few days of Spring Break were cold and rainy so we pretty much stayed inside. Thursday, a friend of mine from high school came up from Moab to visit. We went to the Botanical Gardens/Butterfly House and the mall. It was good to see her and visit for the day.

Friday morning my friend and I took our kids to Bananas Fun Park to play on the Bump'n Jump playground. The kids had a blast! The nice thing about the playground is that it is in inside a pavilion so when the weather is too cold or hot the kids can still play and release all that energy they so readily have. Makayla told me today that she was ready to go back to school.

Park Day

Yesterday, it was about sixty degrees outside, so a friend and I decided to take our kids to the park. Yeah! First park day of the year! Makayla and Kelseanja were still at school, so I only took the boys, but they enjoyed themselves and the time they had playing with their friends.

Kelseanja's Birthday Box

I almost forgot to blog this! The kids get birthday boxes from Grandma and Grandpa MacPherson every year. Here are pictures of Kelseanja opening hers which she loved by the way! (The pictures loaded backwards, sorry.) Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!
