Gender Reveal

I think its about time I update that Matt and I are expecting a baby December 6th and its another BOY! We are so excited to have the new addition to our family. I'm sure Carter will love having a little brother to play with. Matt and I decided to have a gender reveal party to find out the gender. I put my friend Brianne in charge of setting up the reveal. Instead of doing a cake they decided to put the reveal in a box. Matt and I opened the box and a pink and a blue balloon flew out...hmm. I knew we weren't having twins because we would have seen that on the ultrasound. Everyone was so confused. After the two balloons flew out there was a black balloon taped to the bottom of the box. We took it out and popped it. There was a little note that said we have to look through the confetti to find out the gender. Matt and I searched through the confetti probably 2 or 3 times before finding it. It was written on ONE piece of confetti and it is a BOY! It was so much fun and the build up of the anticipation was fun. We were so happy that some of our family and friend could be there to share the experience with us. Here are some photos of the reveal party. The lighting is bad in some of the pictures so I apologize.

According to the old wives tales we are supposed to be having a girl...

Finally we found it! Its a boy! Yay!
Carter's not sure what to think. Maybe its because he's going to have to share his toys.

WTFN Reunion

Every year at the end of June my side of the family has a reunion. This year we went to Joseph, Utah. It's a small town just south of Richfield. It's always fun getting together with all of my siblings and kids. Sadly, my brother, Thom, couldn't come to the reunion since he lives in Japan and my sister-in-law, Tristin, couldn't come either.
One of the activities we had was spray painting t-shirts. Since the 4th of July was right around the corner I decided to make Carter a shirt for the 4th. It turned out way cute.
Everyone's spray painted shirts
