It's Official...Another one is on the way!

So, besides our families and a handful of other people knowing...we thought we would let the rest of you in on our secret.

#6 is on the way!

We are due Sept. 1

 The due date is a few days sooner than I expected, but I don't mind that at all. 

We found out we were pregnant on New Year's Eve, but we didn't go to the doctor until today, so I have been waiting to announce to the world that we were pregnant.

We find out what we are having April 12th...Bridger told me to plan on a girl, and maybe he will get lucky and it will be a boy (I have always planned on it the other way around).  We are good with either a boy or a girl.

So when this baby is born we will have:

3 kids 2 and under:  my thoughts --scary!  Jay's thoughts --what was I thinking

4 kids 4 and under: my thoughts --crazy!  Jay's thoughts --stressful

5 kids 6 and under: my thoughts --still crazy, but Macie is a great help!  Jay's thoughts --help me

6 kids 9 and under: my thoughts --thank goodness for a big brother to help out!  Jay's thoughts --insane

(Do Jay's thoughts just get worse?!...he is a funny guy.)

We really both are very excited, and couldn't be happier.  With our go around of trying to get pregnant we are thrilled that we are able to have another baby.  Now, looking back we both are continually aware that we weren't suppossed to get pregnant for those 5 years because we needed Macie and Emy in our family.  We are so thankful for Heavenly Father's plan and thankful that He continually makes adjustments in our family so we recieve the blessings that He wants for us.  I couldn't imagine my life with out my 5 wonderful kids and I am excited to see what life will be like with another sweet baby in our home.

New Family Picture

We did some family pictures over the weekend and I have been playing around with Photoshop and was able to make this fun little layout. I also cropped out Paisley's face and put a happier face on her body. I was pretty surprised I was able to make it all work and actually look okay.
I still am absolutely loving my wonderful camera!! And now I am loving my recent purchase of photoshop...I never would have bought it, but I ended up needing it for my vinyl business.
I have had lots of fun taking pictures of my own family as well as my brother and sister's families. I have even drummed up a little business and I get to take a couple of my friends family pictures in the next couple of weeks. I am completely an ametour, but hey...I am also cheap! Besides, it really has been fun to see the end results.

this is how the picture used to look


and I put this cute little face on Paisley's body


and came up with this

Here are some more pictures that I made into a photo collage on the picnik website. It is just so much easier to load on thing, then trying to load several. I have learned that it is so quick and easy to load the pictures from my picture editor {I use picasa}, then sitting and waiting for several minutes with the blog picture loader.

 

Creative Minds

Jay and I got home from our nephew's baptism today and while we were in our closet changing our clothes, Emy walked in mumbling something while showing us her newest Lego creation. I wasn't really paying attention and then Jay said, "did you hear what she said, she said temple". She was showing us the temple that she had built out of Legos. I thought it was so cute. It is crazy how fast they learn.
Then the other kids had to follow suit and build something for us to take a picture of.

Emy's temple:

Macie's pie:

Brigder's maze:

And Paisley taking a nap:

And this is our latest attempt at a family picture:

Unfortunately Paisley is crying. This doesn't give you a good perspective on her temperament, because she really is a great baby. She only cries if she is hungry and well, she was hungry. We thought we had a some more time till we needed to feed her but unfortunately we didn't. We just hurried and did some pictures any way. The ones that she wasn't crying in some one else looked goofy, so since she is too young to voice her opinion we opted for this one being our favorite. We will have to try again...maybe on her blessing day.
