A preview of what the birth announcement might look like:

Yes, it seems we're having a hard time deciding. Or rather, our DOCTOR is having a hard time deciding.


I was told today that it looks like a GIRL!

So, what does this mean? Nothing. We have no idea what the baby is now. However, I can tell you- if it comes out a boy, I have a feeling Josh won't ever let him live this down.

I'll let you all know as soon as we know ANYTHING. :)

And Dave.. it's going to be pretty funny if you end up being right...
(Ty's step-dad, the only one who still questioned the ultrasound picture I posted last month.)

And some baby bump pictures from today, 26 weeks.

More owies for Josh.


So, I guess Josh was feeling bad that Paul had some cool new hardware in his head. He decided he needed some too. Josh got excited about this game he was playing and ran to mom to show her how good he was doing. While running, he tripped and hit the computer desk face first. Thankfully, he didn't break his nose, but holy cow-he cut the skin as far down as skin goes. I was at work, but Kelly said when they were driving to the hospital Josh was holding a towel on his face the whole way. He took it off for just a second to look at it and say, "Whoa, that's a lot of blood." I was able to meet them as they pulled up to the hospital.
So, after lots of waiting, we were finally ready for x rays. When we walked in the x ray room, Josh said, "Are they going to fix the hole in my nose now?" He was really being a trooper and was talking up a storm with all the people working on him. So sad, though.
I hate this look. He was being so good while I was holding him, but just didn't feel like photos were a good idea yet. Maybe if I wasn't in my uniform it wouldn't hit me so hard.
Thank goodness for modern technology! We were waiting forever and Josh was perfectly content with playing games on Kell's phone.
Here's waiting for x rays. At this point, he wasn't so concerned with his owie bleeding. He just wanted to play.
Cyclops has nothin' on this! Yep, he's a goofball.
Ta-dah! He's back to only two eyes again. I guess this is his tough guy face. Not too sure.

Quick Trip, Fantastic Friends.

Tyler's friends, Andy Wegener and Ritchie Wallace came by for a visit this week- They were just here for 24hours, but it was a trip that I think they'll all remember for a long time to come.
Ritchie lives in Australia, and the last time he saw Tyler was 9+ years ago when they served their missions together in Melbourne. That's also when they both met Andy, but thankfully he lives close enough, we get to see him at least a few times each year.



It was a great time, These three boys had me laughing so hard I was crying- with their mission stories and teasing each other! Hopefully it won't be another 9 years before we can get the three of them together again.

My brother, Jim on Lockdown tonight!

Here's a clip from tonight's episode of Lockdown on the National Geographic channel... Jim, by brother (big, bald "Mr. Clean" guy) will be in the episode, as he is a member of the tactical team at Sterling DOC.


Tune in tonight (sunday) at 6pm mountain time to watch the episode!

Edited to add: My brother Jim is in the first scene with all the DOC guards... he's the big bald guy right in front of the Pepsi machine with the sun glasses on his head.

You're goin down clay pigeons...sometimes.

The scope seems a bit much, but it's really fun. Those little .17 HMR bullets move pretty dang quick.
After getting it sighted in, it was time to see if I could hold my hands steady while standing up. Mind you, this revolver got heavy with the optic mounted on there.
Kelly's 9mm has been lonely, so me and Gabe Pittman took it out too.
...more 9mm fun.
We couldn't get any photos of the clay pigeon shooting, but the last 2 shots at the target box worked ok. I love this shotgun.
Being tall, the 12 Gauge pushed Gabe back a little.
It was a pretty good day of shooting. It's always good to go shoot guns that aren't the military issue.
