We're Having a Boy!!!

We went a couple of weeks ago to find out the gender of the baby. The ultrasound was VERY clear once the baby was cooperating and within a few seconds of the video, the doctor highlights a specific area that leaves us no doubt we're having a baby boy. We're still working on the name.

Boys Summer Baseball

Trey and Kole's First Baseball Hit

Special Weekend with Susan's Family

This was a special weekend for Susan's family in Lake Geneva area of Wisconsin. Susan's oldest brother and family will be leaving for the mission field in Africa in just a few weeks and this would be the last time in years that everyone would be together. Susan's youngest brother, Daniel, flew in from Houston which was great to be able to see him as well. It was a special day to have everyone together knowing that God has called them to an incredible sacrifice and calling to move to the other side of the globe into a foreign land and share the love of Jesus Christ. Blessings to Jim and his beautiful family...

Buckley Pool

Well, the Buckleys now have a pool. Nothing fancy but our neighbors outgrew this 15x15ft pool that is perfect for the boys height and great for Susan and Kaitlyn to cool off during the hot summer days. To say we got our money's worth out of the free pool is an understatement. We're grateful for our neighbor's gift and what a blessing this pool has been for us this summer!

Little Hidden Treasure...

We went on a bike ride with some friends and found this incredible refreshing treat along the way. It's a waterfall and pond area where you're allowed to cool off and hang out in the water. It was great! The kids absolutely loved it and we had to literally pull them out of the water to continue the bike ride. The best part is how close this place is to our house. Nice bonus!

How the Boys Found out They're Having a Brother...

Since the boys could only find out once if they were having a baby brother or sister, we wanted to make the new special to them. Last time we had a little outfit in the baby's room closet and they were told: "if it's blue, we're having a boy, if it's pink, we're having a girl, but if it's brown, we're having a monkey."

This time Susan was creative and we made the way they found out through the means of a hunt. Each room had a clue and a toy for them to give to the baby which took them into five different rooms. Once they received the last clue to go to Kaitlyn's room, we stopped them. We let them know that once they open the door and look in the bassinet, they can no longer refer to the baby without seeing boy or girl. They were SO excited. After having a sister, they wanted a baby brother. They opened the door and found the blue outfit and screamed with excitement. It was truly a special moment in our house...
