I'm Tagged

I just noticed that I have been tagged by my friend Heather. So here we go...

•I'm happiest when...Wayne is home and my family is happy.
•Someday I'm going to...go on a second honeymoon with Wayne.
•When I'm really down, what I want to do is...talk to Wayne.
•A person really should...be kind.
•I feel anxious when...I'm late.
•It would really be wonderful if...Wayne didn't have to travel.
•I like people who...make me laugh.
•I'm afraid that...I'm not a good mother.
•All it takes to make me happy is...having Wayne around.
•I just hate it that...I get frustrated with my kids.
•What I really want to do is...sleep.
•I wish that...Wayne didn't have to travel.
•I don't like people who...think because they have more money or education that they are better than others.
•I'm really hoping to. . .go to Australia someday.
•I have everything I need, however...selling the house in CA would be nice.
•If I could do whatever I wanted, I would...spend all my time with Wayne and my boys.

Can you tell I'm missing my husband and getting tired of this traveling gig? We've been told 9-12 more months. So I'm trying to be patient.

If you are reading my blog and like this tag, consider yourself tagged as well. ;-)

An official announcement

We are very excited to announce that baby number 4 is on the way!! He/she is due February 16, 2009. So I am about 12 weeks along now. I'm finally getting out of the sickness (which has been the worst with this one), and the fatigue is easing up too. Yeah!

We waited to announce anything until we had seen the baby and heard the heartbeat. We've now had two ultrasounds and have heard, and seen, the baby's heart, and the doctor assures me that everything looks normal and healthy.

Wayne of course wants another boy, and though he won't appreciate me saying this, it's only because he's scared to the death of the idea of a girl. Parker is with his dad on the boy thing and Aiden very much wants a sister; Brenner has no clue what's going on. I honestly just want everything to be fine no matter boy or girl. I'm very happy with my life of all boys and though I'm nervous at the difference a girl would be, I wouldn't mine one. I'm hoping to wait until delivery day to know the gender, but I don't know if Wayne will be able to make it.

So that's our big news!!

Pictures

I finally have a new camera! So these are the last of the pictures from the "dumb camera" (as we have named it).

We took a trip to the Wildlife Safari they have just outside Omaha. It's one of those drive around things. But you do have to hike up to see the bears and wolves. We thought it was great.

We only saw one bull elk in Yellowstone and it was hidden in some trees. These were right up next to the car.
This Bear was ready for a photo op. We didn't get this close to a bear in Yellowstone either.
The wolves were our favorite. We were there when they were feeding them.

We've also finally finished seeing the whole zoo. The boys love going there.

Fun day of water in the backyard. It's been sad not having the CA pools anymore. :-(
