Congratulations! It's a...

Hey All...
So we went to our new doctor in Ireland and apparently there they don't wait until 20 weeks to determine the gender of babies! So we found out that we are having a boy! We are excited...we kindof wanted another boy so that Easton would have a playmate and because dealing with girl drama scares me a bit to be honest! Easton and I are back in CO after I left him for a week with my folks to go to Ireland to do some house shopping and furnishing. I will post pics of our new house (with a backyard and washer and dryer I might add!) and others of Dublin when I get my life on track here in a bit. I also will post some pics of our last week in L.A. which was actually extremely sad for me! We will miss our friends so much, it was really hard to say goodbye.

Hurricane Harbor

A few of my friends and I all have season passes to Hurricane Harbor...it's the water park attached to Six Flags. Before you say to yourself "wow...cool...Katie is adventurous and daring and her friends must be too" you should know that we got the passes pretty much only to hang out in the kids area with our little ones. Maybe that is actually more daring than the crazy water slides and tubes!
This last Saturday my friend Nicole and I took our husbands along to share in the fun. The kids had a blast, I got drenched following Easton around making sure he didn't die and Rob got to ride a 'big kids ride'. We ended the trip with some nutritious Wendy's burgers and chicken nuggets...what could be better than that?



Rob with Easton and Justin with Josh...looks like Rob and Easton won that race!

Me and Easton riding on a killer slide...we're thrill seekers.

Let the Blogging Begin

We have always said that once we leave L.A. we would start a blog to be able to keep in touch with all of our friends from here and elsewhere and of course, our family. The day has come and we are leaving L.A.! With a little (or a lot) of help from my super crafty friend Lindsay, the blog begins.
So, we haven't invaded Ireland quite yet but on August 11th we'll become official Dublin-ers! We're really looking forward to it despite the 12 hour plane ride (with a 19 month old no less) and yucky food (or so we've heard)! We'll have a house there...hallelujah...so we expect most of you to come and visit!
Moving across the street is a hassle so you can imagine what it's been like trying to move across the ocean! We'll be glad when it's all said and done...as you can imagine Easton has been a super help when it comes to packing...or should I say unpacking. I think his favorite game right now is to dump out the contents of any box, turn it upside down and use it as a drum...looks like we have a musician on our hands.
Speaking of Easton, he has a special announcement he wants to make...check out his shirt!


Yep, we're pregnant! I'm just coming out of the first trimester...due January 21st. Easton looks pretty excited in the picture...completely oblivious of how much his little world will be rocked! We are really excited to be adding to our family.
We leave L.A. on the 21st of July and then it's on to Colorado for one last visit and to SLC for Rob's sister's wedding...maybe we can see some of you along the way!
