Adding to the Family

If you haven't heard, we are expecting baby #4. I am around 14-15 weeks due July 17th. The technician said it was a little early, but she is pretty sure the baby is a boy! Poor Sydnie. She is still at school and so we haven't told her yet, but I have a feeling she will take the news kind of hard. She wants a little sister! We are very excited though! Landon and this little guy will be 2 years apart (almost to the day) and they will be good buds. Here are some ultrasound pics. I think he looks like a teddy bear/alien, because that second picture his face looks like a bear (with his arms up). LOL! Warning: the quality of the pics are bad...I don't have a scanner.

Ok, I just updated my blog 2 minutes ago before I got your email. Looks like we're in the opposite boat...1 girl and 3 boys vs. 1 boy and 3 girls. Collin is now used to the idea of no brothers. I guess he recovers quickly. Congrats on another boy! BTW..why did you have an ultrasound so early?

Hey guys!
Just in case you didn't see on Facebook--we are going on a cruise and want you to come! It is May 10th through the 14th. We depart out of Long Beach, CA and cruise to Catalina Island and Ensenada Mexico. It's a 4 night cruise. We are so excited and want a lot of friends to come party it up with us!! As of right now the cheapest ticket price per person is $219! (We upgraded to make sure we didn't get bunk beds) But still so cheap!!! Hope that you can come along. Let us know because after you book we want to link or itinerary and sit together at dinner. It's gonna be sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Tifani and Brad

PS- congrats on the baby!
