Baby Update Again..

So I am about a week late with this but at least I am getting there, right? On the 19th of this month my mom and sisters joined me for the ultrasound of our little one. I was surprised that Andy suggested it at first but in the end I am sure my family was more excited about it then even I was. Of course I don't think they left as excited...we are having another boy. Everyone...and I a mean EVERYONE was trying to will him into a girl instead. I on the other hand was just a little nervous that things wouldn't look good. I am very small for being 20 weeks and I haven't gained any weight yet, which is very odd for me. I was glad to see that he is growing and is right on track. I am sure they were happy he is healthy as well, but I am also sure they were a little disappointed when the tech said boy. I get another Ultrasound on the 16th so it will be confirmed one way or the other. I hope we can get some 3D pictures next time. We tried this time but the little bugger was just like his brothers and buried in my back and didn't want to smile for the camera.
I waited to tell Andy until Brandon came home from school. I showed Brandon the photos and he got a disappointed look on his face and said, "Another one?" "I really wanted a girl this time." I kinda felt bad for him, but he quickly got over it went and grabbed the baby name book and started coming up with name ideas. Little does he know that his father is very difficult when it comes to names and this little one will be lucky to have even some ideas before he even gets here. We do know one thing...his middle name is Andrew. That is one step!

I thought this picture was pretty cool. A little side profile of the little guy.

He has got some big ole feet!

Let the games begin...well almost

So Brandon has been waiting a whole year for baseball season to roll around, so when he saw the banner out on the street stating that registration was a few weeks back he could hardly contain his excitement. So we signed him up and they informed us that there would be tryouts to be held coming up in a couple weeks. Well, we had snow on both of the days that they had originally been scheduled for so the make up was tonight. He was so excited! The moment he has been waiting for is finally here! We pull up and it literally looked like the scene from any baseball movie where there are people all over the field throwing the ball back and forth with people with clipboards watching their every move! Did I mention these kids are only 8! I was nervous for him! I knew it wasn't a real tryout so I wasn't too nervous but holy cow! You could tell he has switched from excited to nervous as well. That changed when a kid came up to him and asked if he wanted to play catch. Then he was just a kid who wanted to play baseball. His number was 28 (David Justice's number when he was a Yankee...not that I am proud to say he was a Yankee) they lined all the kids up in numerical order and one at a time they were given the chance to pitch, field a ground ball, and hit. He did okay...not the best but not the worst either. He just loves the game and wants to play, and that is all that matters to me. Now he just has to wait to see what team he ends up on and then he will be ready to go. The games start in a month so pretty soon we should find out.

Brandon's Big Day

Today we celebrated a big day in Brandon's life. He was baptized! He was so excited to have everyone come out and share his day with him. We started the day off at 9:00 going to the church. Baptisim started at 10:00 lots of family and friends came to help him celebrate. Afterwhich we went to the Tooele Army Depot to go bowling in celebration of his birthday. It was way fun! We are all so proud of him and his decision to get baptized. There are many other photos but I couldn't find a slideshow website and I didn't want to put a million pictures on here...so here a few of my favorites.
