( popcorn & aggie volleyball )

 

volleyball is my favorite sport.  it runs a close race with basketball, however.  just like a father would a son and football, i wanted to introduce karsyn to the sport early on.  her first aggie volleyball game was last season and her first aggie basketball game was at 5 weeks old.

we took her a few weeks ago to watch again.  she thoroughly enjoyed watching the aggies beat up on the ranked brigham young cougars.  whoop.  i'm not sure what she liked more though ... the game, the band, the people yelling, or the popcorn.  maybe it was the little old lady sitting next to us that insisted on karsyn sitting in her lap.

( catching up )

i've skipped around a bit in order to announce that we have another baby girl on the way.  we had a weekend away as a family, which was extremely nice, but now we're back and getting back on schedule.  to keep on schedule and on an apparent rule that you must post pictures in chronological order, here goes my attempt to catch up our last few weeks.

a few saturdays ago, my favorite man's family got together for a wonderful day of fun and yummy food.  karsyn had so much fun playing in the water, then dirt, then water again with her cousin.  her baby even got in on the action and needed a bath herself when all was said and done.

poor baby.

time to clean up.  again.

"shhhh ... don't tell mom i'm dirty again"

time to clean up.  again.  again.

more to come.  soon.  i promise.

( oh boy, oh boy, oh boy )

are we gonna have our hands full or what?  we're super excited and, as all father's do, my favorite man thought of the money first.  you see, right now we won't have to spend much money.  but in twenty five years and two weddings later, we'll be broke. 

it is indeed another GIRL.  yippee!  we were surprised for sure.  we really thought it was another boy, but the sonographer said she was 99.9% sure.  videos and sonogram pictures to follow, but probably not until next week because we're evacuating ourselves to my parents house for the weekend. 

oh, and we are not set on a name yet, so we'll reveal that at a later date.  and i'm doing good too, in case you wondered.  i'm having to get on some iron supplements because my levels were too low.  maybe that'll help with my energy.

( interesting )

the wacky old wives' tales say it's a girl.  { my face breaks out like crazy; i've gained weight in my face; i've had a bad case of morning sickness; i've developed a raging sweet tooth }

BUT with karsyn, the wives' tales said she was a boy. { i craved chips and other salty foods; i carried low; my husband packed on the pounds with me; BUT i also had terrible morning sickness }

should be interesting.  only 2 days to go. 

{ a little help, please }

ok, folks.  my parents find out on thursday if our new baby is a boy or a girl and i'm not so sure i'm pleased with the names they picked out so far.  mommy thinks she likes one, then changes her mind the next day.  she's driving me nuts.  so, i'm taking things into my own hands.  can you please let me know what you think we should name our new baby, whether it's a boy or a girl?  here are the only rules that i know of that my parents have for the name ...

1. it HAS to go with karsyn.  see, daddy suggested andrew for a boy and it just doesn't "go".  you know, my name isn't real traditional, so i guess they want something unique. 

2. it cannot be the same name of anyone that we already know. 

3. it needs to be more than one syllable.  our last name is short.

suggest any and all names you have or have heard before.  please, help these people out.  thanks.

xoxo

karsyn.
