Here's what you've been waiting for!!!!!!!!

Here is the answer to everyone's question!
It's a GIRL!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, and no making fun of my belly!!!!

Bad picture, but a great time!

On Sunday we went to the Maroon 5 concert at the White RiverAmphitheater in Auburn. We had such a great time! For those that don't know, I'm a huge Maroon 5 fan and was so excited to see them in concert. I've only seen a handful of bands play live so it was great to make them one of them. Counting Crows also played as well as a group called Augustana. All the groups were awesome and both Dave and I had a great time!

New Karate Student

Well, Caden is officially a karate student. He took his first class on Monday. This is a big year for him, he is starting kindergarten, karate and playing soccer all at the same time. Soccer only lasts through October but I can tell this new schedule is going to wear my little guy out. I know he' having fun, but he still gets a little cranky. Hopefully he will adjust soon to the new schedule.

Camping

We decided to go on a little overnight camping trip this past weekend. I bought Dave a tent a few years back. Dave didn't specify that he was hoping for a smaller tent, and I got about the biggest one I could find. Dave calls it the "King Dome."
The boys always have a great time camping. We camped at Deception Pass and it really was a very nice campground. My favorite part was the hot shower in the morning;-) We set up the tent, ate s'mores, and of course told scary stories. We don't go often, but when we do the boys really love it!

Back to School

First day of school! I used to love going back to school each fall. I see the same spark in Trenton's eyes whenever we get close to the beginning of September. He can hardly wait to get back to class and see all his friends. This year he is in 4th grade! He has a new teacher to the school. His teacher's name is Mr. Beach. Caden is also very excited about school this year. He is finally in Kindergarten. I'm not sure if he is more excited about school starting or the fact that he will get to ride the bus! Here are a few pictures from their first day of school. Caden's teacher is Miss Johnson. I think both kids will have a fun school year!

Expectations

We are excited to officially announce that we will be adding a new member to the Gray household! Yes, we are expecting a new baby in February 2009! We heard the heartbeat for the first time today. The boys claim to be excited but I can tell they aren't quite sure what to expect. It's a whole new adventure and we are really excited to see what February brings!

Wild Waves

Trenton is 9!! Can you believe it???? The day before his birthday he had his Nina and Grandpa here to have cake and celebrate his birthday. A couple of neighbors came over and they played in the bounce house, slid on the slip 'n slide, and sprayed each other with water guns.

As part of the ongoing celebration we also took the boys and one friend to Wild Waves for the day. It was the perfect day! The weather was wonderful, the park wasn't crowded and we spent all day playing in the water and on the park rides. Trenton rode the loop roller coaster all by himself. All the boys had fun and were wore out by the end of the day. Both Dave and I were exhausted by the end but it was fun to see the boys having so much fun. Enjoy some of the pictures!
