Flooding in Nevada


When we moved to Mesquite in 2004 I was so naive to the Flooding that could occur. In 2005 we lived in our Coyote Willows town home and it flooded and took out the golf course. They got it fixed up the best they could and had it up and running again in November 2008. We thought this was the 100 year flood. Well it is now December 2010 and we are having flooding problems again. I wish I could go help more but, being So far along with the last baby I am pretty much home bound. Sand bags are too heavy for a prego mommy.
Here are a few photos I took Yesterday. So sad to hear of so many people losing there homes to all this water. I think as of right now Beaver Dam has had a total of 4 house float down the Virgin River. I am not sure how many homes have been damaged to all the water. SO SAD! We will continue to keep everyone in our prayers!

Family Photos November 2010

Brandon and I did our first photo shoot with my whole family. I thought it turned out pretty well. We were sure tired by the end of the day. Here are some of just our little growing family. If you want to see more than go to my sisters blog. She always does an amazing job with her blog. If you need help seeing this let me know. :)






Halloween 2010

Dantzel would not let me talk her into being anything but a hula girl. I know, she was this 3 years ago. She sure makes a cute hula girl though.
James was spider man.
Duncan was Elmo.
Brandon was...who knows, some weird dude that has a mullet.
These are the pumpkins I carved for them. They all picked what they wanted. Man, they are always putting me to work. Hope you all had a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!



Catch up Time

California Trip September 24th-October 3rd
We had such a good time on this trip. We started off by going to Ventura to Aunt Lauri and Uncle Jamie's house. They are so fun and great entertainers. Thanks guys!
We also went to the beach, Disneyland, Lego Land (2 times) and Brandon even got to take me to dinner without kids. Thanks to Lynn and Richard for coming with to help with the kids. The Timeshare ended up being a hit.
Here are a bunch of pictures for our memories.

My funny Dantzel girl

The other day we were in the car and Brandon was talking with Dantzel and all of the sudden Dantzel said Dad, remember when they sized me. Brandon was like what did you say??? And she said it again. Remember when they sized me. Then it clicked and I said do you mean measured you before you went on the ride at Legoland. She said yes, that was my favorite roller coaster. What a goofy kid!!!

Baby #4 is a...

GIRL

we are all excited. I think Dantzel is glowing she is so happy. We actually let Dantzel come to the ultrasound. I think she was a little disappointed in the quality of the pictures. I think she was thinking that the pictures were going to be as clear as all the pictures we take with our camera. Oh well, at least we gave her the experience.
Hopefully this baby will arrive on or not to far after her due date. With my record, she might not come until march. My actual due date is Feb 20th.
Oh I am taking name suggestions. I am throwing around a name or two but would like to hear what you all like. TIA for my Brother in law TIA=(Thanks in advance) :)
