Whew...A Busy Weekend...Full of Events!!!

Friday night.... my sister and I went to one of our friends from High Schools wedding reception. She was a beautiful bride to be...(they were actually getting married in the morning.) It was fun to see her again....and she is just as she should be...the same old Liz!!

Saturday morning....Justin dug himself a hole!!! Art needed some help digging this huge hole, and we thought it would make a funny pic, just seeing Justin's head sticking out.


Aydan of course stripped down and ran through the sprinklers. It was intensely hot and humid on Sat....who could blame him?? Too bad we can't get away with stuff like that huh??

Saturday afternoon....Justin volunteered to run in the Spud Mud Run at Summer Fest this year. The Mud run is usually to raise money for the Epilepsy Foundation, but this year the fundraiser was for a little girl. This particular little girl has throat, esophagus, stomach, and intestinal cancer, and the doctors are thinking she doesn't have much time left....So the fundraiser was to raise money for her and her family to go to Disney World!! She was so cute and very grateful for everybody who ran for her. She gave them all big hugs at the end of the race.

Justin is the guy on the very left.


There's Justin on the right.


Justin's team was the last to get started in the race, but the first to finish...(of course!) They got a big trophy and metals at the end. The run was 5 kilometers long, and they had to run through mud, climb over corrals, run through the sand dunes, jump through the canal, and then they got hosed down by the fire truck hose. They all had to carry a spud as well...without losing it.

I was taking pictures of my boys, when this nice old man came up and offered to take our picture. How nice huh?


We ended the night with FIGHT NIGHT! UFC stuff again....Some of my dads friends invited us to come over to their house, where they had a big screen TV outside to watch the fights on. It was pretty fun! They had good food, comfy chairs, and a yard where Aydan could play. Thanks for hosting guys!!!

So...here's our baby......



BOY!!!

Here's his...ahem...parts.



We are so ecstatic to be having another little boy. How perfect is that? Aydan and Traceon are going to be the best of buddies!! And yes...we have decided on..........
Traceon Parker Polson
(pronounced trace-en) for his name. It's not going to change so we thought we would just tell everybody now!! Plus we LOVE it! We are going to be even more busy...but it's going to be so much fun!! Can you image all the sports and activities we will be doing!!! We can't wait for this little guy to get here!!


This is him all scrunched into a ball. You can see his spine really well.
This is his head and arm.


Everything looks pretty good. Traceon is doing very well...growing as he should be and exactly perfect!! I however...have a blatter infection....YUCK!! There is also some concern about where the placenta is. It is a little close for comfort to the cervix, but doc says it's common this early, especially in women that have had c-sections before. We will just have to do more ultra sounds as my pregnancy develops to see how it's doing. Which on the bright side...it means we get more beautiful pictures of our growing boy.


This picture is my favorite. It is of his cute little legs. They are crossed. How precious is that??

Daddy's Home and We Had a Great 4th of July!!

Yay!! Daddy graduated from Air Assault School!! Justin just got back on the 4th from Fort Bennings, Georgia. While he was there he went through 3 phases of testing, drank a lot of water, and reppeled out of a Blackhawk helicopter!! Aydan has a pretty cool and daring dad huh? It has been something Justin has wanted to do for a long time, and he's glad he did it. He said it was the hardest mental and physical thing he has ever done....including Basic Training. He brought home all kinds of Air Assault certificates and a really cool pin to put on his ACU's. We sure did miss him, and we are glad he's back safe.


Justin in the barracks... after another day in training, in the 108 degrees weather w/ 98% humidity.



Fort Benning has the tallest reppel tower in the US Army, standing at 74ft.


Hummer's and water trailers can be lifted by Blackhawk helicopters, another part of Air Assault training.

Happy 4TH OF JULY!!

Here is Aydan at the parade Saturday morning. He's enjoying some blue cotton candy.

For the 4th of July, Aydan and I went to the parade w/ Grandpa and Grandma Snyder, as well as Dan, Keri, and their kids. After the parade we went and had hamburgers and hot dogs, then it was off to pick up daddy at the airport. Aydan was so excited to see Justin and ran and gave him a huge hug!! After the airport we came home and took naps. At about 7:30-8:00 it was time to go scoop out a spot for the fireworks. Uncle Garrett works at Electrical Wholesale, which has the perfect spot for watching the famous Maleluca fireworks.
