It's a BOY!!!!!
Here is Alden Lee he wieghs about 14oz and is about 6 to 8 inches long.
Our kids are so sweet they have been praying for a brother since we told them we were having another baby. Well, first Haizel was praying for a sister and if she heard Draegon pray for a brother she would get upset and say her prayer again for a sister. After days of fighting over a brother or sister I told Haizel
" Guess what Haiz, either way you get to be a BIG SISTER!" and oh my goodness her eyes got so BIG they were gleaming with happiness as she said to me,"I'm big too just like bubba? I just don't care if it's a brother, I will love it anyway and I will hold it." So from that night on she was praying for a brother, she seemed to be ok with having a brother or a sister. Well at our 20 week doctor's visit we took miss mae because she was to sick to go to school, and she was happy to see the baby on the screen until the doctor told her she was going to have a baby brother. She just sat there no reaction at all, just a blank look on her face. She was quiet the rest of the after noon until we got home, she started whining alot and even when I asked her why she was whining she wouldn't talk she just kept whining, so I told her if she wanted to whine that's ok but she needed to go to her room and do it because at this point it had gone on for to long. She went to her room and the next thing I hear is crying and if you know Haizel you know that she can get pretty loud, well I went in to see what the matter was and she was in her closet sitting on the floor when I asked her one last time what the matter was she sadly said with tears streaming down her face like a waterfall " I just want a baby girl!" and she threw her arms around my neck and continued to sob. Several minutes later I was able to calm her down and reassure her that we love her and her baby brother is going to love her a look up to her just like she looks up to Draegon and loves Draegon. She was feeling even better when dad chimed in and told her that he felt special because she was going to be his only little girl and Draegon said " Yeah, Haizel your going to be my only little sister" and gave her a hug. She's happy now and kisses my tummy at night and says " night, night baby brother"
We decided to name our boy, Alden Lee and we are still trying to get used to calling him by his name instead of saying "it" or "the baby" just so the kids can become familiar with his name.
I feel so blessed to have my children and to finally be carrying another, my Heavenly Father really loves me and has enriched my life beyond what I could have ever imagined.

The Craddle
I have been wanting a custom hand made cradle since Draegon was born, never got one I found a really cute cheap bassinet at a garage sale when I was 8mo along with him. So I though maybe when I was pregnant with Haizel Mae we would get one, nope she used the same one Draegon did. After years of trying to conceive again, two miscarriages and trying to accept the thought of not being able to have anymore children, we where blessed to find out about this pregnancy and to have made it this far healthy and happy. So, after all of this my sweet husband knowing how special and precious this little miracle growing inside of me is and knowing how my heart was so set on this "heirloom" of a cradle, he decided to surprise me with the most beautiful cradle HAND MADE BY HIMSELF. He has been working on it at a friends house for the past week or two when I thought he was actually at work, either he's a good liar or I'm completely gullible to his every word. I couldn't stop crying when he surprised me with it this morning, and now I'm crying again just writing about it, darn hormones. I have a sweet, loving, caring and thoughtful man for a husband, I'm soooo BLESSED! I can't wait to see our bundle of joy laying in this beautiful piece of art that I hold so dear to my heart, and I'm thrilled that it will be in our family for years to come.

hope and happiness
So I did pictures of a very cute little baby boy last week for my neighbor across the street. It was alot of fun and really made me excited for the arrival of my own little one. And when I say excited, it's not that I haven't been happy about this pregnancy it's absolutly what I've been waiting for but rather I'm becoming less worried and more hopeful and more excited. Here is an announcement that I made from the photo shoot.

Our Road Trip
We took a road trip last week to San Jose so Austin could take his PG&E test. We are hoping that it went well, he seemed to be pretty confidant about it. We will know the results in a few weeks and let you know. After his test we headed to San Fransisco to take the kids to the Aquarium of the Bay. We had such a great time there I think Aust and I were just as excited as the kids, it was AWESOME! here are a few pictures of what we saw and did.
So we took an unexpected detour on our way to san jose, Aust was pretty upset about it until we came across a field of Peacocks. Thank goodness for peacocks!
Draegon & Haizel entering the Aquarium
The kids where able to hold a huge starfish
And they took turns petting a small shark
we walked through a long tunnel under the Aqarium and where able to see all sorts of sea creatures swimming around us
I sure Draegon pointed out every star fish and shark, it was cute.
Haizel at the end of the tour
Draegon at the end of the tour
We stop at 'look out point' after crossing the bridge on our way back home.
The kids really liked climbing on these a pretending they where looking through them.
I took this in the car when we where crossing the bridge. I was a little upset we were'nt able to stop and take a nice picture of the bridge before we left the city.

16 weeks and counting.....
Yes friends and family we are finally expecting our third little miracle after a couple failed attempts. We had our 1st sonogram last week and found out that I'm right around 16 weeks along, we have known for several weeks that I'm prego but have been waiting for good news before spreading the word. I feel very relieved and super duper excited!! I will keep you all posted throughout.
