Shh! Can you keep a Secret?

     Does anyone remember this photo from a little over two years ago?!  That is a girl hoping and praying for a baby sister only to find she's got ANOTHER brother.  Well don't lose all hope yet, come August 23rd or sooner she just might still get that baby sister!  We'll probably find out this time sooner than later if we're having a boy or a girl to give Kayli time to either prepare or be extra excited so I guess come March 1st we'll most likely know if this photo is doomed to be repeated.
     Now this is exciting news and we don't mind people knowing at this point.  A heart beat has been heard and I'm feeling less nervous but my only request would be to please keep the secret and maybe just recommend to close family and friends to check this blog out for themselves.  And keep Kayli in your prayers that she finally gets her baby sister as a late 16th birthday gift!

Brock's FIVE!

This cutie......

Turned five this week!

Happy 5th birthday to Brock Garrett!

This is how he looked after going to preschool.

This waws his birthday afternoon opening gifts.  This is a blurry batman mask.

Cool Optimus Prime mask!

That mask goes perfect with his new pajamas!

This was the very next day when we had cake and ice cream with G&G Kmetzsch.  This was a Spiderman mask.
(Are you starting to sense a theme here.  He wanted superhero stuff.)

He makes a cute spiderman.

And here comes his Spiderman cake!

    I'm going to safely say, Brock had a great fifth birthday!
I honestly was going to also upload a sledding video from our Oregon trip but it was literally taking for-ev-er!  Greg still has one more idea of how to upload it on the blog so it may make it up here yet, but I'm not holding my breath!

Hair Cut!

     All my boys need a haircut and I was going to splurge and take them all to an inexpensive hair salon, and still might, but Greg would prefer I did it myself but I just can't get motivated!  So the other day I had a few minutes between errands and it was just McClane and I and I thought, "Why not?"  So just McClane so far has had a hair cut and it was his first 'professional' cut.  He didn't love it at first but he sat so still even when he was crying.  The girl did an ok job I'm just happy his hair is no longer hanging over his ears or too far down his neck.  And she definitely did a much quicker job of it than I would have.

Sad but he was still so good.

He's almost ready to stop crying.

And he's nearly done and much happier, even though he refused to smile.

    Greg still hasn't downloaded the sledding videos from our Oregon trip but maybe next week.  And maybe next week the rest of the boys will finally have haircuts too.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to everyone! Here's a little picture of our baby McClane just a few minutes after the new year was rung in, in Oregon.
He made it to midnight but not much longer after that he was out like a light.
We had a great time in Oregon and even though it's hard to come back to reality it's also good to be home.
Maybe next week I'll post a few of the sledding videos Greg made while we were in Oregon otherwise this is it for this week.
