Everyone says he looks like Dallin... I guess we will find out in a few weeks.
Thanks Shauna!

A glimps of our soon new arrival...
We are so lucky to have a sister-in-law who does ultra-sounds for a living. She always asks if we want to do one, and come on now, who doesn't want to see what is going on in the 3 ft ball that is always moving in front of you. This time we saw him kick himself in the face with his foot and using his tongue to swallow. He is about 34 weeks:
Summer Bounty!
Before....
Jonathan has worked so hard on our garden this year. We have been able to have corn on the cob, cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini, summer squash, carrots, onions, peas, spinach and almost watermelon and cantaloupe. We have been so blessed by his hard work.
After....
Fishing with Uncle Travis
Over the 4th of July, we had a family reunion in the mountains. All Dallin could talk about was going fishing. When we arrived at the lake, Dallin bailed out of the car and started stealing every one's fishing poles. He wanted to catch a "Big One." He was not too successful. So Uncle Travis took Dallin, Alexis, Ashley and Jonathan for ride out into the middle of the lake to catch a "Big One". I guess when they got out in the middle Dallin was more worried about the sharks then catching the "Big One"... and when they did catch a fish, he was scared it was a Shark. He still talks about going fishing, but he must just prefer it at the shore.
Summer Party at the Zoo...
Dansie's at the Hogle Zoo!
It was the summer company party. What a perfect day to go to the zoo... Low 70's, cloud cover and only the people Jonathan works with were there. The kids thought it was a lot of fun to see all the animals. They especially loved to see the new baby giraffe. It was its first appearance for us. But of course the biggest hit was the unlimited rides on the train and carousel.
Alexis and Dallin ready to ride the train to see the animals... in about 30 seconds. I guess that is why we had to ride many times, so we could see what we had missed the time before.

What has been happening with the Dansie's?
Since I am such a slacker and have not blogged for a few months, I have missed sharing some fun and exciting things that have been happening at the Dansie's. In January, we moved into a fantastic house to rent until we find a house to buy. It was just finished being built, so we are the first to live in it. It has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and a place for everything. We love it! Actually, we love it so much, we offered to buy it... but it is on family property with lots of sentimental value. So we will continue to look.
In Feburary, Alexis started preschool in utah. She was a little nervous, but excited as while. We also celebrated Alexis' 5th birthday. We can hardly believe she is 5, even though she acts like a teenager sometimes. My sister and her family came for dinner and brought Alexis in blindfolded. Her expression when the blindfold was taken off, was worth all of the work to get it decorated. Her cousin JR spent the whole afternoon making her a birthday crown, so she would look like a princess. When it was all finished, she told me she wants to be surprised every year and then continued with a long list of things I will need to do to make it just right. She is our special girl. We love her very much!
In March, both Jonathan and I celebrated our birthdays. My parents came and stayed for a few days to help celebrate my birthday. Jonathan's was complete with all of his favorite foods. Steak and shrimp. Well maybe not all of his favorite foods, but some.
April, the weather began to warm up. So for Easter, my sister and I decided to have an Easter picnic in the mountains. It was a beautiful day for lunch, hiking, playing games and of course a easter egg hunt. I love living close to family!
May has been a very busy month. We have been able to plant a garden...Jonathan has been so excited he planted seed clear back in the beginning of March and put them under lights down stairs. He even made a detailed design on the computer of where every plant would be planted. It is starting to grow well, but so are the weeds. We also had our first offical BBQ of the Summer. That is one nice looking hamburger, don't you think?
Alexis graduated from preschool and would not let me take any pictures of her with her knowing. She was sad to leave preschool, but is looking forward to kindergarten.
We also had a opportunity to go to my parents house to help brand the calves. As a little girl, this was one of my favorite times of the year. We always got the job of pushing the calves up to the branding shoot. We would get kicked, crapped on, toes mashed... but we still loved it. I guess it also helped that Uncle Dale brought lots of pop. Well this year, there was not to may kids that were big enough, strong enough,willing or able to get in with the calves, so Jonathan (my big, strong, willing and able husband) got this job. He looked and smelled fantastic when he was finished. I was able to doctor a few calves, give them a pill or two. Which brings me to the last thing that happened in May...
I would have been in with Jonathan pushing the calves to the shoot, but he would not let me and I don't think the Doctor would have approved, since we found out we are having another boy due around the first of October. We are excited and a little nervous to have three running around. Remember I only have two hands. But Alexis has already been showing us, she is a big sister and little mother.
