It's A BOY!

I will scan the pictures in soon-- well ultrasound pictures of course! But, for those of you who haven't heard yet we are having a BOY! We will most likely be naming him Jackson Mark Bevans... however- other names we are thinking about are Ryan and Preston. It has been fun lately cause I have been feeling him move around daily and Mark has been able to feel him moving around in my belly too. He tells him sports updates each night now since we read that he should be able to hear us:)! SO, SO cute- I can't help but say, "awwwwww!" each time he talks to him (even if it is sports!).

Tawna said...: Cute! We are so excited that you are having a boy. I am jealous because you still don't look pregnant! Keep the pics coming.; August 4, 2008 at 9:06 AM
Lisa said...: Congratulations! I'm sure Mark will do anything he can to try and raise up a sports lover...but one thing I have found is that they have their own personalities and you can't do much about it. Who would've thought that my oldest daughter would be such an avid athlete? I certainly did not encourage it! :); August 4, 2008 at 12:49 PM
Brooke and Aaron said...: Great! Maybe he can marry one of my girls (if he doesn't mind an older woman). :) Anyway, though, great news and we loved Mitchell's wedding pictures!; August 4, 2008 at 4:17 PM
Kim said...: Congratulations on your upcoming little boy!!! I'm quickly discovering that boys are great. We sure enjoy our little guy, and I think boys are more snuggly than little girls, so thats a plus. (When Iheard you were having a boy, I immediately started scoping out the Nike section of the baby department in each store I shop at!); August 7, 2008 at 1:15 PM
The Valley Family said...: I LOVE the new blog! IT is darling. Hope things are going well. Have fun in OR camping!; August 19, 2008 at 6:57 PM

Say What?

- While watching Caillou (a PBS show) play with his grandma I pointed out to Jackson that he has a grandma too. Later, at the end of the show Caillou's mom comes to pick him up and he shouts "Mommy!" Jackson then looks over at me and says, "I have a mommy too!" and gives me a BIG hug. Hearing him say that is one of the best feelings in the world... I love being a mom.
- Lately when I ask Jackson to throw something away... he takes it literally. He stands a couple of feet from the trash can and throws said item away. Sometimes it takes a couple of tries, but eventually it does end up in the trash.
-Mark was watching a game of football on TV and Jackson was trying to get his attention. Frustrated that he wasn't succeeding, he gave a big sigh, looked over at the TV, ran over and turned it off. Jackson, I know how you feel:).
-Sitting down for lunch at the table one day (something that doesn't always occur since I usually don't eat lunch until he's napping), Jackson picked up his fork, looked at me with a smile and said, "SOOOOOO....".
I think he picked it up from when we all sit down for dinner and Mark and I say, "SO, how was your day?"
-After getting ready one morning:
Mark (to me): Hey sexy!
Jackson (sitting next to Mark): Hey sexy! (although it sounded more like, "Hey sessy")

-Mark: "Whatchya thinking about Jackson?" (after seeing Jacks zoning out in his car seat)
Jackson: "BYU"
-The day before Mark was pointing to my mom and Robert's UTE (U of U) ornament on their tree and while pointing his thumb down said, "BOOOO!!" The next day as part of Jackson's birthday gift my mom and Robert thought it would be funny to give him a Ute toddler basketball... after playing with the basketball for a little bit, Jackson pointed to the Ute logo and while motioning his thumb down shouted, "BOOOOOO!!" Yep. We've trained him well (particularly his dad).
-During nursery at church a leader asked a 2 year old little girl in our class, "Are you hungry?"
Her response: "My body is hungry."
