Wisconsin Dells

We went to Wisconsin Dells, Kalahari style for two days.  It was so fun!  I definitely enjoyed all the looks I got with my big pregnant belly hanging out of my suit.  Ha! 

Happy Birthday Spencer!

Before I get into the party pictures, here I am at 30 weeks in all my glory :) We are all getting very excited to see our baby sister in just a couple of months!

2 pirates ready for a party. (Arrrrrhhhhh, we are tough!)


A silly pirate crew of buddies from school and church.

Pin the treasure chest on the map, X marks the spot!

Our hunt for a buried treasure. Clayton was a big helper to read all the clues.

A pirate story.

Make a wish!

We had 6 pirate friends over for a great birthday party. I can't believe my Spencer is 4 years old already. Where has the time gone? We are so blessed to have our fun-loving, talkative, sensitive, caring, smart, enthusiastic, cute and happy boy who is so full of life, in our family.

Baby #4

It's a GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When we got home, we sent the boys on a scavanger hunt to inform them of their soon-to-be baby sister. At the end was a little girl doll all dressed in pink. Get ready boys!

Much to Clayton's dismay (he was SURE it was another brother) he finds a pink doll.

Andrew has no idea what is about to happen to his "baby" status.

Finally......a smile :)

We are thrilled! Baby girl is healthy and right on track for growth. We didn't think it was possible to produce the female gender, so we were pretty surprised at the ultrasound. As we talked about it more and more the boys have warmed up to the idea and I think they are a little excited too. Although they are very perplexed at some of the girl clothing that has arrived in the mail.

Happy Halloween

Baby #4

Lowman baby #4 on its way! Due April 21st, 2011

A view of our backyard....

Pretty darn amazing.

This July we took our annual Lowman vactaion to the beach, played with counsins, attended the blessing of our newest cousin, packed up our house with the help of our fairy grandmother, bought our first house, loaded our truck, said good-bye to friends, moved into our new home, met new friends and neighbors and unpacked a few boxes :) Wow. We made it. The boys have been super. We are happy, very happy.
