Sandhills with daddy

Daddy blessed mommy in a HUGE way a couple of weeks ago by taking the kids out to the sandhills. Mommy got to stay home and rest, read, and be in a very quiet, peaceful house for a few hours all alone!  Thank you daddy!
The kids had a great time and they keep asking to go back.  We try and appease them by taking them to a park in town with sand.  :)

I love the pictures David captured of fun in the sand!  He was exhausted after helping both kids up the first few hills, so they spent most of their time sitting and playing.

Buried in the sand!

Some news....

We have some fun news...

This is how I told David...

It was lots of fun to surprise him! He thought it was too early to test, but I knew it wasn't.

We are thrilled, excited, and blessed to know we'll be welcoming a third little one into the family in September! My due date is September 20th....and we AREN'T going to find out what we're having...we're waiting to be surprised at delivery. :)

Colton and Sadie are both very excited to welcome a new baby. This was us sitting down to tell them one day.

I'm 17 weeks and hoping to start feeling better soon. :) I'm definitely showing. Colton and Sadie ask about the baby a lot...and are warned often not to pounce on my stomach. I guess they're just preparing the baby for life on the outside as the youngest of 3!
