And So Begins the Countdown...

Expectant Mama at 35 weeks...

Which means there's 5 weeks to go!!!

It's A Baby Shower!

We had a baby shower last weekend at our home.

My friend Sarah was my gracious host.

She throws a kick-ass shower!!

By the way this is Sarah an her mom Nancy who is like my adopted mom here in Oregon.

We had a great time!!

The kids and Daddy enjoyed it too!!

Game Time!!

Sorry, these downloaded in the wrong order.

We played 3 games. This is the only one that we got pictures of. There were small safety pins in rice. The person had to pick as many pins out f the rice as they could in 1 minute.
Melissa Sass was the winner with 26 pins! David laughed and thought that this was just too easy, so we put him to the test and had him try it. He said it was harder than it looked. He only got 14 pins out.

We got some neat stuff. Thanks to all of you for the wonderful things!
Isaac even got a gift. That made his day! It was a cool remote control car.

Yes we finally decided...

And she shall be called Briana Elena!!

What a beautiful name indeed!

Here are a couple pictures of her bedroom.

The Rocker used to be blue, but I recovered it to match the furnitre in the nursery.

4th of July

Here is a picture of us at the Ashton Centennial Parade in Idaho.

LAGOON

We went to Lagoon with Gavin, Becki and girls as well as Brigette, Tait and Kaytie. We had a blast!! The kids all held up well, all things considered. The only thing that didn't were my feet. If you thought that they were bad in Idaho, you should have seen them after this day. But it was worth it!!Here are the highlights of a few rides that we went on:

This is Autopia with his cousin Sara.

This is the "Egg Ride" He didn't want to go after getting on, but once it started he cried when he had to get off. They rode it again later.

This "Rocket Ship" ride was his absolute favorite of the day!! He rode this so many times that I lost count.

Lagoon Rides 2

Isaac loved the helicopters, but cried because he didn't get the color of

helicopter that he wanted. He was so tired, can you tell?

This bug moved up and down with a knob. Isaac had a blast shifting the knob as fast as he could! his bug was flying like crazy!!!
One of his most favorites was the bumper cars. He waited in line like 5 times for these.

The Mug

During a long HOT day at Lagoon a guy needs a drink to cool

himself down. This mug was so much bigger than Isaac,

(about as bg as his head as you can tell) but he loved it!

He begged for it all day and Dad finally gave in.

Horton Reunion

Okay, so we were big slackers at the Horton reunion, and didn't get many/any pictures!! If those who took pictures would email them to us that would be great!!

We had a great time! It was awesome to see everyone and see how big the "kids" have gotten. It seems strange to not say "girls" anymore now that there are a couple more boys in the family.

We can't wait to get together with everyone again.

Congrats on your house Gary & Alisa, it looks awesome!! You did a great job!!

We love you all!!
