Looks like most of you were right!!! It's A BOY ... and I know there were no doubts out there, but yes, Nate has already picked out and is ready to order his little boy's first pair of Jordan's ... I have a feeling I'm not going to have much say in dressing this kiddo!! We're so excited and Jackobi has decided that a baby brother will be fun [we had to convince her a little, but once we told her she'd get to watch lots of baseball games she was all for a boy!] Our ultrasound went perfectly & the tech was great. He even showed us things in 3D and 4D which was pretty neat. It's so amazing to me how much detail you can see!!! We feel so blessed to have a healthy little one on the way!

:: baseballs or ballerinas ::

Next Friday is the big day!! We're really excited to see if a baby boy or girl will be joining our family!! Guesses are mixed & in the air right now ... what do you think we'll have???

I'm quite certain that girl time is good for the soul!!

Heather, Becky and I decided to take advantage of a free weekend & headed to Las Vegas to see Sara and Lindsey! It was such an fun trip!

The first night we decided to be tourists & walked the strip. I don't think I could ever get sick of watching the Bellagio water show! {unless they played Viva Las Vegas again ...}

The Botanical Gardens are always so gorgeous!!

The next night we decided to go see KÀ to celebrate Heather's birthday, it was my first Cirque du Soleil show and boy was it AMAZING!!! We had 7th row seats so were right up in the action. I'm still in awe over the amazing performance.

Followed by dinner at the Rain Forest Cafe.

Yummy food & great friends ... what more could a girl ask for??

We wandered a few casinos ...

Where Becky came out ahead!! She loved her "Wheel of Fortune!!"

::a day at the fair::

We had such a fun day at the fair!! Us girls packed up our kiddo's one morning and decided to venture out & see all of the animals. It was quite a hit!! It was fun to watch them get excited and happy over farm animals. After we walked through the pens, we headed to the arena where they were showing 4-H horses. For Jackobi, I think this was the highlight of her day! She had fun with her little friends clapping & cheering on the horses!

Oh the excitement!

Maybree, Jackobi, Kellee, Evie & Peyton

We missed little Tyson in these shots ... he's a smart boy & has learned some days he's not quite sure what to think of all these girls! Give him a few years & I'm quite certain he'll thank his mom for surrounding him with cute girls :)

That evening we headed back with my family to taste some yummy fair food!

What's a fair without corn-on-the-cob?? Jackobi didn't know quite what to think of it being on a stick, but made do & ate the ENTIRE thing!

That morning, the pigs were blocked off so we decided to check out Timber & Blaze's pigs later that night. Jackobi really liked the pigs, but was pretty timid around them. She thought the "oink-ing" was pretty funny. :)

What a great day filled with sunshine, scones & lots of laughter. I love times like these! We left the fair feeling sun kissed and exhausted. There's something about the small town things that I love here. It's so kid & family friendly -- I can't imagine being anywhere else!
