teton nat'l park

We went to the tetons and yellowstone nat'l parks this weekend in search of leaves changing color. the weather was so nice and it was such a good little trip. we saw a bear at the tetons and tons of elk and buffalo in yellowstone and even a couple wolves and a huge fat swan. this is at jenny lake, not to be confused with ricki lake ;) Soooo pretty!

These crazy buffalo think they're so tough...

yeh, i know we say dumb stuff on videos. but we usually don't, cuz usually we're cool, but get out the camera and of course the dumbest things are recorded coming out of our mouths...

Baby Gabriel!!

The Girls were so excited to see and hold their new baby brother. I'm notsure if the nine months took longer for Marlise or for the girls. Here are some cute pictures of Gabriel and his new family. Her are the facts I know everybody likes to here: Weight 7lbs 1oz, height 20.5", born at 8:04pm Thursday, May 6th, 2010. As you can see from the pictures he has lots of hair (the most out of all our children). He and Marlise are doing very well and both are getting well deserved rest. Enough talk here are the pictures.

So even though i said i was gonna post the news when we found out, (its been like two months now) IT"S A BOY!!! yep- baby number three is a boy- yay! we're really excited about it and it seems just right for our family. so our due date is May 5th. (although i'm kinda hoping we can fit it in in the end of April... we'll see what we can do about that.) we haven't decide on any names yet, mostly because i am so picky about boy names. They're so much harder to pick. but yeh- ( This is me about a week before livia was born, {9 full months along} but i pretty much am just an early bloomer! this is basically what i look like any time after 6 months.) yeh it looks like that belly is strapped on but thats real! Sorry- What a hideous picture!! but its basically the only one i have of me pregnant to accompany this post... i'll have to remedy that. maybe get a more "flat"tering angle. and make a different face!
