It's a

We found out today that it's a girl! We are all so excited! It was so much fun to see the ultrasound and how healthy she is! I feel like my life couldn't get any more perfect and am so happy. Now I just have alot of shopping for clothes and bottles and such to do! I have always wanted to shop for a girl because they are so much fun to shop for so if anyone wants to go lets go! And so far we are thinking of the name Kenzley Jackman. We have always really liked that name, hopefully it fits her or it may change!

No shirt No shoes No problem

I know I know you all are problem sick of our boating pictures but this will be the last for at least a month! However it was by far my favorite boating day! The guys decided to take the wives and kids out one morning and an we had so much fun that we stayed all day! At first I didn't think we would be out very long cause usually it is just Tim and Mark that get out in the water but that day we all got adventurous! Dallas decided to get out surfing and he did so good! He let go of the rope and just kept going for awhile I wish I would have gotten a video. Well they all look like they are having so much fun and I always just have to sit and watch, so this time I said fine I want to get out there and try! So I did, which surprised me cause that stuff terrifies me. And the fact that I have never been able to get up on skis or really anything. I pop up on wake boards but I fall right back down because I find it so scary! This time I popped up and stayed up, granted I was terrified the whole time I was up and couldn't relax at all because I was so scared but I am so proud that I tried something new and did it! Then Alexis got out there and she did really good too. It was fun for us girls to get out there and show the guys what's up! Afterwards we pulled the tube out so we could take the kids out on it but Mark and Dallas decided to get a beating on it first. Mark was hilarious he was skipping across the water. He really got beat up. Tim was a little easier on Dallas so he didn't make his foot worse. While me dal and Cohen were out there on the tube we came up by this little bird island and then all of a sudden the boat stopped. We hit some rocks that you couldn't see off of that little island. Hence why the boat will be out of commision for a good month total bummer. On the way back Tim Wendi and Jax got a relaxing tube ride since we couldn't go faster than 5 miles an hour. It took us an hour to get back. So we took time to have us a little dance party. Mark and Alexis' daughter Rylinn is a dancer and she is a good one at that. Her and Cohen were having so much fun dancing and it was such great entertainment for us. I was laughing so hard. Those two are so cute. If I have a girl I hope she is just like her she is such a sweetheart! Needless to say despite the little crash we all had a really good time!
Next are some pictures of us at the Kenney Chesney concert. It is always a good time with Kenney. I never thought I would like country this much but since meeting Dallas I love country it is pretty much all I listen to! And it is so funny to watch and listen to Dallas sing, he cracks me up! Listening to Kenney definitely takes me back to the days when me and Dallas were dating since that's when I started listening to him! So this concert was definitely fun to go and see with him and everyone from his work and Spen and Jenny. It was a good time!

Fun in the Sun!

This summer we have turned into fishes and are always in the water! We start in the morning with swimming lessons with our neighbor Nan who does an amazing job might I add. The first couple times Cohen just screamed and hated it but now he is swimming under the water, rolling over and floating on his back! I am quite a proud mamma after this morning he did such an amazing job! He loves the swimming under the water part but not so much the floating on his back! And that is what will save his life if he ever fell in the water so thats what we are working on. He has been so funny in his swimming lessons the first few times he would just ask everyone for a hug or helps or pretty much anyway to get out of it but now he is learning that no one is going to help him out he just better do it. When he is floating on his back Nan sings pop goes the weasel and when he pops she pops Cohen out of the water. So she always asks him are you ready to pop and in between sobs he says no. Finally today he was so cute he goes Nan I want to pop! I was laughing so hard! I love how much he talks now he says the cutest things. After swimming lessons we usually come home for a nap and then sometimes in the evenings we will take the boat out and either take salesmen or installers if they are all doing well or sometimes just the wives and kids. Cohen absolutely loves it. Sunday he kept saying all day boat ride and he would put on his life jacket and wear it around. It's been alot of fun to go out and relax in the sun. Dallas finally had enough the other day and decided it was time for him to get out on the water which probably wasn't the brightest idea with his broken foot but he did well and he loved it! I can't not tell you enough how lucky I am and how much fun me and my family have together. I just look at Cohen and think man I am so lucky I have you, he is been the best little boy in the whole wide world and I can't wait to add our next addition. We find out next Tuesday if it's a boy or girl, so you can start placing your bets. Alot of people say a girl but I will probably go with a boy knowing my luck I will have a family of all boys! Again though I am really lucky for the boys I have in my life right now I definitely couldn't ask for anything better! I am one lucky mom and wife!

West Fest and more fun!

So my mom has been in charge of West Fest which is West Valley Cities Big day where they do the carnival and parade and such. My mom is in charge of all the booths. She did a great job this year and there were tons of booths with lots of fun things she even did one on her own where she sold her amazing burp clothes and bath towels, magnet boards, magnets and hats for kids. She is a very creative lady and did a nice job! We went up there and she got us passes for all the rides which they had a ton of rides for kids and Cohen absolutely loved them he may have even loved these rides better than Disneyland! His favorite was the roller coaster he could have ridden that all day! Except for I wasn't able to ride that one I was a little bummed cause I stood in line with him figuring it would be easier for me to do rides with Cohen than Dallas because Dallas broke his heel at motorcross the week before so he is basically a gimp right now and was in a wheel chair that day so he wasn't hopping everywhere. So I'm about to get on and they ask not to be rude but are you pregnant and I said yes and they said well you can't ride the ride then I was like bummer so Dallas had to hop up there to take Cohen but Cohen loved it! Then we went and rode a big pirate ship that goes really high and just swings back and forth and oh man that made me so naseous! They should have told me no on that ride! Afterwards most of the rides were just for Cohen! Him and Cayman had a blast on them and it was fun watching them run from ride to ride. On one of the spinning ones Cj and Cory took Cohen cause Dallas gets sick on spinning rides and I was still naseous from the pirate ship and Cohen loves spinning rides he was just a giggling I wish I could have got pictures but it was moving so much! Needless to say we had lots of fun at West Fest even though me being a pregnant woman had to push my gimpy husband with Cohen on his lap in a wheelchair on the grass in 90 degrees weather. I have been so worn out since Dal got hurt cause there is so much more to do, from getting him in and out of places and carrying him from the couch to bed and making chocolate milk and ib profen and getting ice every night, not too mention still puking and having to chase a 2 year old! Oh the joys of being a mother sometimes lol but I love it and wouldn't have it any other way!
Later that night we went to Lehi's rodeo with Devin and Monica and luckily Devin carried Dallas so I didn't have too! That was alot of fun as well!
For the fourth of July weekend Dallas' sister Stacey and her family were in town for their son Dakota's baseball tournament so me and Cohen went to his game Friday and then we all three went to his game on Saturday. I wish I would have taken my camera and got some pictures. Cohen loves watching these kids play. We have been to a few of their soccer games and now baseball games and those are the only sports besides motorcross of course that Cohen cares about. He has jammies with all the balls on them and he calls them either his soccer ball jammies or baseball jammies. It is so adorable. But he loves watching them play. Saturday I think he was having a hard time because he wanted to go in the outfield and play so bad. He would keep try running out there and Uncle Louie would have to grab him before he went out there. One of the times when I chased him out there I yelled Cohen what are you doing, and he turned around and said to me with such disgust mom I play! I was laughing so hard he was so determined to go and play! I can't wait till he is old enough and it's his games we are attending. He does have quite an arm for being a two year old! Hopefully next time I will get some pictures. Then the kids stayed longer with Grandma Jaymie so we were able to go to the Open house of the temple out in Herriman I think we were and that was pretty cool to take kids and see what they thought. Oakley who is 11 and she will be going to the temple next year when she becomes a young woman loved the sealing room. Dakota who I think is 9 he loved the Celestial room and the both loved the mirrors and little Chloe who is 5 loved the brides room of course. It was fun to see what they had to say about the temple at their different ages. I am actually really glad I went with them and was a part of that. It took me back to when I first went to the temple and the special feels you have then and it also took me back to when we were sealed as a family. Every time I go in a sealing room I get teary eyed because it brings back those amazing feeling I had the day we were sealed together as a family! I truly believe that the rest of our kids were in that room cheering us on! After that fun experience Dallas met up with us after getting his MRI on his foot which by the way he doesn't have to get a screw and a plate so no surgery which makes us all so happy but it will take all summer for his foot to heal so no more motorcross for him. He is pretty bummed. but after all that we went swimming with the kids and Cohen just loves swimming. We sure love when the Burt kids are in town, they are seriously some of the most well behaved and nice helpful kids I have ever met! I hope all my kids can be just like them!
The last few pictures are of boating. We have been going quite a bit and it's been my first time out on Utah lake. Dallas loves that lake me not so much I think it's gross and dirty. So I am just fine relaxing in the boat. And poor Dal he can't get out in the water this summer is just going to kill him not having a foot. He tried surfing the first day we went out before he knew for sure his foot was broke and it was hilarious. He was just yelling ow ow ow ow, and then he finally just sat on the surf board! I love him he makes me laugh. Well there is some of our summer hopefully I will take the camera out more so I can share more of our fun experiences!
