IT'S A BOY!!!!

Well we went in for the ultrasound on Friday. The technician started and we saw a little bit of a picture, then she stopped and asked if we wanted to know what it was. We told her we did and she said, "Good, I wasnt sure I would be able to hide that." I guess she saw that it was a boy right a way. Anyways the little guy is doing good and looking healthy, everything is how it is supposed to be. He is a fighter, he kept kicking at the point of pressure, or putting his hands up in the way. It is wierd to see that he has all his parts and is only about 1 pound. Anyways when she was checking his legs and trying to get a picture to prove it was a boy, he wouldnt cooperate, he kept he legs crossed, but with some time and with some pressure he let us get the pictures. Due date is January 3rd, and well I dont know what else to say. Miss you all.

fair weekend

Hello to all. Hope all are having a great week so far. Our weekend last weekend was full. Mom and I worked for Jane in the fair at her concession. Taedyn rode a sheep for the second year in a row and had to wear the chaps this year. He didn't last to long. I asked him what happened he said I don't know. I just fell off. He was so excited to ride. Braycen is growing so fast. I officially have a rotten 3 year old and a into everything toddler. Braycen is starting to get such a personality that he keeps us all laughing. He is definitely a nana's boy. He wakes up and wants nana over mom. He even likes to sit with papa. We had two huge grizzly bears at the house on Friday night in the field. A little to close for comfort for me. The won was as big as Sheri's cows that are in there. At first I thought it was a cow til it turned its head. I called bear before and it was a cow so I got laughed at. So this time it took me a little longer to call bear. (had to make sure because I was getting laughed at again.) Then they came out in the open of the field and they were so big I said grizzlys and then they ran and dad said yep sure are. I really need to post some pics. I will one day I promise.
Love ya all
Deni and boy and boys

We are moved!

So after a day of grunting and groaning, lifting and dragging, packing and ascending......you get the picture. We have officially moved. Both a little stiff and sore but we are alive. We now live on BYU campus. I am still in the process of trying to become licensed for my job, Kassie is starting to get a little bit of a baby belly. She is still unpacking too. We have the ultrasound scheduled for Friday. I am a little bit nervous but so excited. We will let everyone know what it is when we find out. I cant think of much else to say. Oh well thats all for now.

Our calling still remain the same. Deni in Primary and Bo ex-secretary. Braycen loves going in nursery Bo will bring him in during priestood then mom takes him during sunday school and gives him a nap.

Fair Pictures

Here are some pictures of the kids at the fair.

Fair Week

We survived! Fair week is officially over. The kids had another successful year. We came home with lots of ribbons and trophies. Brenlon and Jayden got Grand Champion on their team presentation. Treyton got Grand Champion on his individual presentation, and now gets to represent our county at the State Fair in Salem in a couple of weeks. He's really excited about that. Brenlon and Jayden both gave individual presentations. They each learned good lessons on sportsmanship, as this time the little brother came out on top! Jayden received Grand Champion, and Brenlon received Reserved Champion.
Treyton achieved his ultimate goal: He beat the "Weed Queen" in the Weed and Crop ID Contest. A girl in our club has won it the last few years, so we call her the Weed Queen. Treyton beat everyone at the fair (4-H and FFA), and received a nice trophy. Brenlon won in his division, and Jayden came in Third (They are Juniors and Treyton is an Intermediate). They had to identify 32 different types of crops and weeds--some were in plant form, and some were only seeds. Brenlon won in his division (Junior) in the Livestock Judging Contest. They had to judge 6 different types of livestock, and give Oral Reasons to a Judge on one of the types (this time it was Market Lambs). He was pretty excited about that, and received a nice trophy as well.
Jayden's pig made weight, and was sold at the auction on Saturday. Brenlon's gilt didn't make weight, so he entered her in the Breeding Class, and received Reserved Champion. He has sold her to his Sunday School teacher. Treyton's pig didn't make weight either, but he also has him sold to his Sunday School teacher.
Kindra and Landon got to show pigs in Pee Wee Showmanship. They are so fun to watch. Landon is very intense in the ring, and will be quite a showman when he gets older. Kikki was upset that we didn't enter her, but I was too afraid of other pigs running her over. I promised her that she could do it next year.
We had a great fair, and are all glad it's over. We are planning on spending the week playing catch-up: on laundry, weeding, cleaning, and most important on SLEEP!

Us

Well lets see if this works. Kassie and I are in the process of trying to find another residence. Well really she is trying. I am pretty busy with this test for work, and work itself. Kassie is 4 months pregnant now, the Ultrasound is scheduled for August 25. We are both pretty excited about it. I cant think of much now, maybe ill get kassie to post on here soon since she is the one who stays at home all day.

Washington, D.C.

Raven and Steve are finally back from D.C. Raven didn't want to come home because she had so much fun. It is interesting all of the things that she was impressed with. She really learned a lot. She can't pick her favorite thing that she saw. She can tell you tons about each thing that she saw and did. She came home with her own copies of the Constitution, Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights. She wants to go back as soon as possible. It was fun to be able to talk to her about the things she had seen because I had been there. I highly recommend it for a family vacation. Raven went with 2 disposable cameras and probably could have used 3. She took some decent pictures too. Steve said that she did great and he walked her little legs off. She is fully recovered from her kidney infection and almost back to 100%. We are grateful for the prayers and fasting on her behalf. She started to finally improve about half way through the family fast. We are headed to Lake Powell on Sunday and will post some pictures on that when we get back. Then school starts a week after that. I am so excited to have 2 kids in school this fall. Have fun getting ready for school!
