This post won't have any pictures in it because I don't have any yet, but it does have exciting news (at least for me)! I had another ultrasound today (thanks to Tim working at the hospital) and we found out that we are having a GIRL!!! I cried tears of joy, happiness, and excitement!! Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my boys, it's what I'm used to, it's what I know. We have one very darling girl though who has been dying for the past 8 years to get a sister!! Well it's finally happening, and we're all aglow with the newness of it. In some ways it's like having my first, because I get to start all over again with new girl clothes, bedding, etc; Yay SHOPPING!! Now I just need to decide on a name! Oh boy, that is going to be one tough grueling decision. Boy names have always been easy, because we've had so many, and I knew which ones I liked exactly. But having a girl, and thinking maybe this could be the last shot with the girls, well the choice gets a little harder. I know whichever one we pick though it will be perfect, FOR HER!! I'm actually glad I'm only almost halfway, because I want to take the time to get everything ready and perfect for when she's finally here.

AN UNFORGETTABLE DAY!
Yesterday was truly an amazing Memorial Day for my family!! Tim and I took our 4 oldest to a live Mariners game over in Seattle! Tim of course has been a few times, and has always loved baseball (live or not), but the rest of us have never been. I have to say, it was one of the funnest things I have ever done. We were lucky also because it was an afternoon game instead of an evening game (considering it's a 3+ hour drive there). My parents were kind enough to watch our 3 little boys while we were gone. Tim and I woke up on Monday like kids on Christmas morning, because our troop had NO IDEA where we were going! We made it a total surprise. Tim typed up a really cute riddle/rhyme for the kids to read as soon as we were in the van, and on our way. Corbin had it all figured out before we were even out of the driveway (I guess we should have waited a little longer)!! When they realized where we were going and what we were doing, they all started screaming "Mariners, Mariners, Mariners", and "I can't believe we're actually going, I've wanted to do this my whole life"! Other things followed, but I remember with a smile when they said, "You guys are the coolest and best parents ever"!! Awww, see I'm not such a troll ALL the time. We got to Seattle and parked, and walked to the stadium. When the kids and I saw this: 
the butterflies in my stomach about exploded, and they were all yelling, "there it is, there it is"!! There were hundreds of other fans (of course) walking on their way to the stadium as well, and the kids just couldn't imagine a place that was big enough to hole them all. Tim said, "just you wait until we get inside". And these were some of the first views we saw as we came to the field:
Then we found our seats (which were EXCELLENT)! Right field, right by Ichiro, only about 15 rows back!! The boys were in heaven, and I have to admit, I was pretty high on life too!! Here's some other pics from that game that we'll treasure and remember FOREVER!
There's the man!! Whoo hoo Ichiro!!
We of course had to get the traditional hotdog and pop!! The kids also had cotton candy and snow cones!! It was a beautiful day!! The sun was actually shining, and I got a little sunburned! Perfect weather!! The concession guys were roaming the stadium the first 7 innings, and we ordered roasted peanuts!! The guy threw them straight to us from a whole section over before he came to get money for it!! He surely must do it a lot!! The kids got a big kick out of it!! We also got to sing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" and we all sang as loud as we could!!
So an amazing day, one that I will never forget (and hopefully the kids too)! I think we found something that we really like doing, so I hope we can do this at least twice a season!! For some, this may not seem like a big deal, maybe they get to go to professional baseball games a lot, but for us, this definitely doesn't happen everyday. So this special day will stick in our memories for years to come!! Oh, by the way, we actually got on t.v.!! When we came home, we had DVR'd the game, and we watched it with the kids, and we saw ourselves behind the pitcher, at the bottom of the 8th inning!! We couldn't believe it!! The kids were SOOOO excited to go to school today not only to share with their friends their special day, but to tell them that we were on television for a few short seconds!! Too funny! I can't wait to go again!!
