Boy or Girl?

Everyone grabbed the cupcake that represented their guess. Team Girl outnumbered Team Boy by double! And the results...

Sam has named the baby already...it's at the end of the video.

(Thank you to Jenika for making these yummy cupcakes with a secret message inside!)

Meet Baby Beers

A whopping 3 ounces and 3 1/2 inches long. Boy or girl? We don't know yet. She's only 14 weeks in these pictures. We may find out as early as next month. Due February 15th.

Just for comparison...

Way to beef up, little man!

California

Another great summer trip to Carlsbad, CA. Loved being with Rob and the kids. The weather was such a nice break. We visited the Mormon Battalion Visitor's Center where the kids panned for gold and Sam did some washing. The beach was just what we needed. We did Sea World as a family and we got to break the happy news about the new baby to the kids while we were there.

Buddies

A great trip to Fritz's and the Rainforest exhibit at Crown Center. Gabe, JJ, Ben, and Sam all had a great time! Somehow, they look right at home in the Gorilla's Nest...Hmmm... :-)

Soccer Camp

The Sports Center for the Disabled hosted a Soccer Camp in June.
It was HOT!
But lots of fun to see so many kiddos having a blast with the Kansas City Sporting Soccer Team. Ben and other siblings got in on some of the action too.
