Boy or Girl???

We had an ultrasound today in which we found out the gender of the baby. But first we should say that everything is going well and the baby is healthy. Before we went Kiana wanted to reiterate the fact that she predicted it would be a boy, she said she just had a feeling. Patrick was hoping for a girl because that way he could say, "Ha! you really had no idea.".
It turns out we're having a boy, and apparently one that has a thing for ultrasound machines. He was wiggling a little bit and putting himself in difficult-to-photograph-positions. But other than that he looks good and is right on schedule to join our family in July. We're both really happy about a boy coming and can just see the wheels turning in Spencer's head at all the trouble he can get into with another set of arms.

Life Is Flashing By

These past few weeks have been flying by for a couple of reasons:
1. Spencer has started to walk. The night of Spencer's birthday a month ago he took his first steps. Since that time it has evolved to a pseudo-run, mixed with various claw/attack moves, and something he calls the "run-jump-land-on-my-butt-with-a-messy-diaper-so-that-poop-flys-up-my-back".

2. House shopping. Kiana has been out quite a few times a week with Uncle Ken looking for a new house. She still hasn't found anything yet that she likes that is still in our price range. She has been surprised, though, at the number of houses out there that are both bank owned and look like they came out of a "Larry the Cable Guy" movie. We're still looking and hope to find something before Obama's stimulus works, and house prices shoot up again...that was a joke...I think we all have a pretty good idea what a $13/week tax credit is going to do to house prices (unless of course you live in Detroit).

Then again we could be running out of time because Kiana is pregnant and tiring faster and Patrick is, well...Patrick, and he's not going to do anything extra to help out. We find out the gender on Wednesday, we're pretty excited. Kiana thinks it's a boy, Patrick is not calling his shot, and Spencer is pretty sure that it is either a punching bag or a tackling-dummy.

What the...?!?

Well I got on the blog this morning and noticed that Kiana had been decorating. So in order to reinforce the fact that the family is made up of 2 men and 1 woman, I've decided to put on the following video. This is the University of Utah's Carlon Brown throwing it down on TCU, I love watching this guy play.
