Wastlund Family

Last night was free kids night at the rodeo. Jaden even won a free adult ticket at school. Garrett stayed home with Grace, and I took Kimball, Jaden and Kody. We got there two hours early and got great seats. 40 minutes before the rodeo started, the kids ran over to get their free Rodeo picture. I could see them from my seat the entire time they were standing in line. 10 minutes later, I watched them begin to run back to our seats...only they never got there! I waited about 10 minutes thinking maybe they stopped for a snow cone, but they never came. I got up and walked towards the picture tent, and they were no where. I could see the entire stadium, and it wasn't like 3 kids would just disappear. I looked for about 10 more minutes completely baffled, and then saw a police officer. I gave him their description and the search began. 8 police officers and myself and we still couldn't find them for over 1/2 an hour. I was hysterical and crying, the rodeo had started an

I had another ultrasound today (this one was actually official) and found out we are expecting another girl. Kimball, Jaden and Kody were all there to see their first view of their new sister. Everyone was excited except for Kody, he said "awww I wanted a boy." I am glad that Grace will have a sister so close to her own age, although it will be a new experience for me. Me and Katie (my sister) are 8 years apart and Kimball and Grace are 7 years apart. We will see how this compares to having boys so close together. I have yet another ultrasound in 4 weeks to check on the baby's heart and the position of the placenta, but hopefully with prayer everything will be fine.

Just had to share something I love about Kody. He compares everything he does to something else. Yesterday while doing homework he said "this is harder than picking up a snake," or a few weeks ago when asked to carry down his dirty clothes, he said "that is harder than beating up a cheetah!" He is completely serious, and I have to turn the other way so he won't see me laugh. This is an every day occurrence and it usually involves an animal, but it brings a smile to my face every time!
