**Snow Day**

On Sunday the 6, my Dad called and said "Make sure you bring your stuff for sledding". So we packed up all the winter gear and headed to my parents(like we do EVERY Sunday) for dinner and Sledding.  Drake was so EXCITED to play in the SNOW!  Skyler put Drake on his lap for a ride on the sled,*I didn't get a still picture of that only video sorry* He loved it!! Didn't really like when the SNOW went in his face!  When they came back Drake had the BIGGEST SMILE on his face!  Then it was DADDY'S turn....*see the excitement on his face* Sled attached to 4-wheeler= good time! Thanks Dad for the fun time!

*daddy, what are you going to do with that?*

*kid at heart*

*mom it's cold out here*

*i can't put my arms down!*

*poppa, drake,auntie ry*

It's a.....

I went to the Dr. today to find out what the Gender of our baby will be...I didn't have anyone come with me because I wanted it to be a Surprise...So this is how I told Skyler the big news...

It's a BOY!!!

his name will be BOSTON

We are so Excited to be having another little boy joining our family and can't wait until May for him to arrive...

p.s. I found my camera so more pictures to come..when I feel up to it!

~Blah~

Well...I lost the camera (sad day) So there won't be any fun pictures for awhile until we get a new one. I have looked EVERYWHERE!!!
What have we been up to????
Hardman's had Family pictures done! It's been quite sometime since the last time that was done..like 7 years ago...so it was well needed! While we had family pictures Drake was NOT so happy. When he did get to ride a horse (had a picture on the camera) he LOVED it! He was ALL smiles! When it was back to pictures he cried..don't know what his deal was that day, he is usually really good and says"CHEESE"
We have been keeping really busy just doing family things and running from place to place. I know I have gotten to be a TERRIBLE blogger *I'm sorry* I sometimes feel like I have nothing to blog about.

I do have to say...does anyone else HATE doing laundry?? It has be come the BIGGEST pain iun my side. I know it's just going to get worse with another child on the way, but I guess the things we do for kids! I wish I could have a Laundry Lady that came once or twice a week!
Well those are my thoughts!

Am I behind or WHAT!!!

Well, Life has been very crazy for us this last month or so. I thought I was doing good at updating our blog, but I guess I was WRONG!
We have been to the Circus..spending time with family...finding out we are ADDING to our FAMILY.....getting the SWINE FLU..and trying to just live....
I will post pictures when I get the engery to take them off my camera...keep looking and checking back in on us...

Our BIG Boy's BIG DAY!!!

We can't believe that he is already old enough to be going to Nursery ALL by himself!! He did such a great job! I think it was harder for Skyler to let him go by himself .. I took him into Nursery with all the other kids...and when I walked away he started to cry. I felt so bad. I got his blanket from Skyler (who was in the hall) gave it to Drake and he was just fine! With 5 mins left of church they came in and told Skyler that he was asleep on the floor. So I think for the first week by himself he did a pretty good job!
We Love you Drake! We can't believe how big you are getting! Hopefully you can do it again in 2 weeks(being sunday is stake conf)...
