It's a girl!

I asked Piper this morning if she wanted a baby brother or sister. She said she wanted a baby sister because ... "I don't like boys, I only like daddy boys." Well, she got her wish - we are having another GIRL! Hooray for girls!

Third Bundle

Haha! You caught that! I thought you would see it first Carole! Or at least comment on it first. Yup we are having another :) Sometime in August. My doctor thinks around the 13th but I think around the 21st - we have differing opinions :) I am huge however so maybe she's right :) We were supposed to find out on Friday (what we are having) - which was when I planned to blog about it but I had to cancel :( So now my appointment is for Monday but I might have to cancel that one too - we'll see. I know I know WHO cancels their ultra sound appointment right! Make it work- haha! But we get to have company this weekend (Piper is SOOOOOO excited) and I want this baby to get all the attentions the others got for it's ultra sound so I'll wait (maybe;). Actually, I just need to see if anyone would be willing to babysit. Anyway, we're excited. I would love another girl! (or boy but I LOVE girly stuff) plus I have tons of girl names I'm DYING to use! Curtis, of course, wants a boy to prove his manlyness;) Just Kidding! He really wants a boy to take on scout campouts and fourwheeling/motorcycling stuff. Piper has made it clear that she will not accept a boy only a little sister. Bailey just wants ALL my attention ALWAYS - other than that she doesn't care. Guess we'll see what happens!

Camping

So after our last camping experience I swore never to camp again. I was seven or eight months pregnant, we had a TINY tent, and I had to walk, in my opinion, WAY too far to go to the bathroom at 10pm, 1am, 4am, and 6am! Then it rained, aLOT! So I was not impressed. But a few weeks ago some friends in the ward said they were getting a group together to go camping up somewhere north of Houston and asked if we wanted to go... I really wanted to go to be social but wasn't so sure about the camping part of it since I am yet again pregnant. Anyway, we decided to go and had SOOOOO much fun! We borrowed Donald and Julie's MASSIVE tent (thanks!), camped RIGHT next to the bathroom (well not so close that it smelled- haha), and brought a lot of GOOD food! It was so much fun!










We got there late on Friday and just had a quick dinner and then in the morning everyone got together for breakfast. I LOVE this picture of Bailey's mouth WIDE open!





We went for a fun bike ride and hiked and then went over to the lake to do a little fishing! Piper got a new fishing pole and was SOOOOOO excited to fish - I'm not sure why. We've never really talked about fishing but about a month ago she said she wanted to go fishing - talk about random! So here was her chance. She didn't catch anything but had a blast just holding the pole. She was beaming the whole time!!
Bailey, on the other hand, found other things to amuse herself! haha - leaves and sticks! It's so funny...I was thinking, better yet worrying, about how I would keep them entertained with no toys or what nots but they were thoroughly engaged/entranced/preoccupied by EVERYTHING from sticks to dogs to water to trees to turtle to ALLIGATORS - you name it, they found some way to make it so much fun!
Lastly, we decided to take advantage of the canoe our friends brought and went for a little ride. As you can see Piper is STILL obsessed with her fishing pole!

And Bailey was NOT impressed AT ALL with the canoe. She screamed the WHOLE time!

So that was our fun February camping trip! I may even concider doing it again sometime :)
