Baby Boy on the Way

Thats right! Surprise!  Another baby on the way.  It was a surprise to us as well.  We knew there would be a fifth one in our family, but had no idea he was ready to come this soon.  Yet he's on his way here.  Due on July 25.  

We toyed with the idea of not finding out the gender, but decided to have it put into an envelope.  The kids have mom and dad a reveal party one Sunday afternoon.  We made chocolate cupcakes and mixed up some blue and pink frosting.  We have them the envelope with that valuable information and set the camera on RECORD.  Then Nate and I went to our bedroom to wait.  The kids opened the envelope which revealed the gender of their baby sibling and they chose the coordinating frosting color.  The video is so funny and sweet. Jaxton looks at the ultrasound photo and that states the gender and announces "it's a boy!!"  Cooper takes charge of the sugar and instructs Kaylee to use the blue frosting, which she resists because she wants to use pink frosting.  So Cooper takes the pink and moves it far out of reach while coughing on the cupcakes in front of him.  Kaylee consents and starts to use blue frosting all the while sneezing over the cupcakes on the counter.  They finish frosting 2 of them and proudly bring them to our bedroom to announce to us that we will be welcoming a baby boy in July of this year. Can't hardly wait!!  Welcome to our family, little man!  We love you already!

Shoveling Snow

Jaxton's new job is to shovel snow.  Nate took him out this first time to teach him how its done.  He was cold, but was a hard worker out there.  Way to go Jaxton!
