Its a GIRL and meaning of name.

Well I still can't believe it but we are having a girl. I always pictured myself as a mother of 3 boys, but God saw different. I might still be out numbered, but at least I am not the only girl. Here are some ultrasound pictures of her.

So her name is going to be Emma Jayne. I love naming my kids after family members that mean the world to us. So I am naming my daughter after my Aunt Jayne. Technically she was not my aunt she was my mom's cousin, but I loved her as an aunt. We lived a couple of houses down from her, and we spent a lot of time together. She took me to church with her on Sundays, and I have not met a person that did not just love her. She was taken from us way to early but I know she is looking down on us. And I think she would be very proud of me. Further a due here is a picture of my Aunt Jayne.

Joseph's birthday party

Joseph had his 5th birthday party at McDonalds. He had so much fun that it was hard to get that many pictures of him. This year we invited kids from his class, and 5 of them showed up.

Thank you to everyone that came and helped make Joseph's party special. A special thank you to my parents for traveling from Texas for Joseph. He lucky to have y'all in his life.

Park in January

We can't believe this weather so far. Since it was not that cold out we decided to take the boys to the park. We have to take advantage of the nicer weather especially in January.

Levi smile just melts my heart

Finally some SNOW

I can't believe we went through all of December with no snow. There wasn't any snow at Christmas in Wisconsin. This is Levi's first year to actually play in the snow. He did take a nose dive in the snow and then he was ready to go back inside. (poor little guy)

Not sure what to think
