Friday we had an ultrasound & found out we are having a boy!  I am so excited I can't believe we are half way thru with this pregnancy it is flying by so fast.  Everyone has told me to just enjoy this time because it flies by & it is true.I have spent so much time trying to figure out how to get ahcccs (government health care) so that we could afford a baby. When we were denied I didn't know how I could enjoy buying things but I had a really great weekend with My mom & Paul's mom getting things for my son.  Paul was so cute when the ultrasound tech said it was a boy he threw his arms in the air said yes!  He wore a blue shirt just to help his odds & it worked because I had on a pink bracelet & it wasn't enough.  We are so lucky & grateful to have such a wonderful support system of family & friends that want to be there to help us even if it is just to lift our spirits. We love you all! It was great to have my mom & dad & Paul's mom with us Friday!

 I feel like I always say this but wow where has the time gone I get on my blog to see what I last wrote about and realize I have a month or more of pictures on my camera that need to get printed & post.  Well going in cronilogical order September 24th was my niece's birthday she turned 11 & if you look at the pictures this time next year she will be taller than me yikes!  At Jade's Birthday of course we had to take belly pictures. I didn't want to because I didn't have one yet.  I really still don't soon I am sure, but it is good to see the stages we are all in.

Then October 14th I had activity days at my house and because it is October we needed a Halloween theme so we had a newspaper fashion show.  It was so fun to seen the girls use their imaginations and help each other get glamed up.  you can see their fun personalities in each picture

Then the next day October 15th Ashlee, Mom, and I went to Tuscon for the U of A Jazz show case workshop.  Ashlee and I danced Saturday & Sunday so much fun.  Ashlee and her group got to dance in the showcase Saturday night it was a great show I just wish there were a few more upbeat numbers contemporary slow sad pieces are more of what that show case is about however the facaulty show friday night was full of fun dances even the the contemporary pieces were happy.  The only thing that would have made this more fun would have been if Bethany could have come too.

 Then sadly we lost Grandma Mangum Monday October 11th we had sevrices for her in Thatcher & she was put to rest in the Pima cemetery next to Grandpa Mangum.  The services were so beautiful and of course the silver lining is we got to spend time with family.  We were sad not to have Carrie and Zachary there with us but Carrie was still in the hospital after just having Zachary.
