Spilling the Beans

 Spilling the Beans

We are terrible at keeping secrets, so we are already telling people about the big news! I had my first 8-week appointment to get an ultrasound and blood work this week. We didn't want to chance Claire and Shay telling family during the weekend, so we let Adrian spill the beans. We had a photo shoot and did the spill a few times for practice, and I got two sets of cute shots. Adrian thought it was a fun game to put the beans back and spill them again. Honestly, Chris has been the one to tell people by accident! He told his parents before we were 100% sure, and then accidentally told the girls during a family prayer. Silly boy is so excited, but we are all excited, and the girls won't stop asking what we think the gender will be and what names we are going to use. 

Black and White Days

We made a long trip on Saturday to Richmond, Utah, for the yearly Black and White Days. There was time to spend with family, the parade, which gave out sooooo much candy, and then dinner with family before we drove all the way back home the same day. Adrian had a lot of fun because there were so many cars to ask me to go into, since that is one of his favorite things to do here at home. As soon as Chris gets home from work, Adrian runs to the garage to ask to play in his car. I've stopped letting him play in mine because he wore my battery down by turning on my lights all night one time. Adrian really loved the horses and the big tractor in the parade and did a good job staying out of the road to pick up the candy. He got a lot because everyone thought he was so cute and would throw it just to see him smile. Now we have enough candy to keep them happy over the summer.

Weather

The warmer nice weather we have been having has been so great! Adrian and I have gone on a walk to different parks almost every day, and found a rocket ship by exploring a new subdivision that doesn't have any houses or grass yet. We were also able to finish the project Chris started to expand and reinforce our gravel area for driving out of the shed we built. The wind picked up over the weekend and made everything cold, but the birthday party we went to for Shay's friend was still fun because the kids ran around a lot and kept warm. Adrian resists taking naps every day, but will fall asleep so easily in the car or if we've cuddled on the couch after an exciting morning. I hope the summer will wear him out enough to nap some days, but having his sister's home all day will make it hard for him to calm down enough to sleep.
