The Barn

Some of our friends, the Garrett's, have a barn and some property that they have horses and a goat on. About a month ago we went over there to have a BBQ. We had such a great time! For the first part while Kotah was building the fire for the BBQ, we spent most of our time trying to keep Oaklee from scaring the Opie (the goat) to death. I don't know what it was about that goat but she loved it! At first she thought it was a puppy and kept chasing it around saying, "here puppy, puppy". When we told her that it wasn't a puppy and that it was a goat she changed to, "here puppy goat". Poor goat. We finally had to have Kotah and Drew tie the goat over by us so that we could make sure she didn't follow him into the horse pens. The BBQ was awesome, and Kotah was kind enough to let the girls take a ride on one of their horses, and they loved it! Here are some pictures from the BBQ (i'm not sure what happened to the one with Opie in it).


Here is me and Oaklee. She was a little scared of the horses at first (thanks Drew!)

Finally a due date

Today I had my first doctors appointment, and like all of the other first appointments that I have been to it was very exciting! At my doctors office they do an ultrasound on the first visit which I love because then I get to see our baby. This time was no exception, it was as exciting as it was the first time. The only difference is that I didn't go in for my first appointment until a couple weeks after you are supposed to because my doctor had to have surgery, so when they did the ultrasound this time my baby actually looked like a little person and not a peanut. It was flip-flopping around and waving its tiny arms all over the place. It was so fun! Well, everything turned out fine and they gave me the official due date of NOVEMBER 12. That means in 3 weeks I can find out what I am having! But I think that we will wait until the 20 week appointment to find out. So there it is...mark your calenders!
