We're having a . . .

BOY!

We couldn't be more excited! This was an ultrasound taken right at 16 weeks. Once again, it didn't take the technician long to find out the baby's gender (just like Logan). We took the kids with us this time and Logan couldn't get enough of watching the "baby in Mommy's tummy." He is still talking about my "check-up" a couple weeks later. He now understands its a baby brother in mommy's tummy. He likes to count our family members on his fingers and he'll pronounce, "there's 5 in our family!" It sure makes my heart swell. We'll have another ultrasound in the middle of April to check his size and everything. He sure has a cute profile and I can't wait to meet him. I've been feeling the newborn craving lately and I just want to nuzzle him in.

Norah doesn't quite get the concept yet but I have a feeling she'll want to be my little helper. We need to work on transitioning her into a bed before September. I can't believe she's that old. We debated between letting her stay in the crib and putting the new baby in the pack n' play, but it just didn't feel right. I guess that can be our second option if she absolutely hates the bed. 

Another big change that will hopefully happen before September is MOVING! We've been house searching the last 2 weeks and hope to find something soon. Wish us luck!

    

The Rest of June

Before we get more into July, I have to backtrack and document some of our other June happenings.

Well, this first outing was actually in May. Oops. We went to Baby Animal Days where we got to hold chicks, pet goats and other animals, and ride small ghetto trains that are easily escapable (we learned this first-hand. Fortunately it was only going 5 mph and Logan was safe, and scolded, after climbing out).

 For FHE one night we hopped on a train and went to Temple Square. Logan LOVED riding the train. Better than any ride at Lagoon!

So beautiful.

I tried a new hairdo (one of my 30 Before 30 challenges).

Went on a Temple Hike. Our stake YW started above Farmington . . .

and ended up here on the Bountiful temple grounds. 

A truly awesome experience! 

We've gone to several parks;

 have made treats;

 and have gotten messy. Don't worry - this is mixed berries, not chocolate. Although I'm sure she'll be a fan.

 We celebrated Grandma B's birthday up in the canyon.

 And have gone on several fun walks/bike rides as a family.

Phew, I'm gonna take a nap now. 

Upcoming Events!

It seems like springtime is always a time for change for us. Benj and I are quite busy and there will be a few things coming up in the month that will be quite exciting! First, and most important . . .


Benji turns 24 tomorrow! I just realized I may have scared everyone with a "we're expecting" announcement. Not the case . . . . at least not yet! This is a picture of Benj when he was only a few months old. I won't have to put up with as much teasing since he'll only be a year younger instead of two. My husband is lucky he's so cute. I hope our kids are as cute as he is!



I surprised Benj with tickets to the Jazz Playoffs on April 26th against Houston! He doesn't know yet so keep it secret (at least til tomorrow). I have to say the Kyle Korver is becoming one of my favorite players.



Benj and I will be celebrating our 2-year anniversary on May 13th! Time flies when you're having fun! We'll be spending the weekend at the Anniversary Inn in Salt Lake and going to the Cheesecake Factory. Can't wait!



We'll be moving into our new apartment on May 3rd. It's only around the corner from where we live now and we'll still be in the same ward. Our house is full of boxes. I hope to get rid of half of it so we don't have so much stuff! The reason we're moving into somethings smaller is because . . .

Benj will start going to school full-time starting in May and will be done by next summer! We're both anticipating graduation and no more school (at least for the while)!

That's about it for the Bradshaw family! We hope all is well in your neck of the woods!
