I have to show of a couple of pics my sister Suzie took of our family. She took a SO MANY GREAT ones. She took them at her home. They turned out so well! Thanks a ton, Suzie! Now I need to get copies out to people... 

About a week ago, Maren finally graduated from preschool. We had a graduation party with all the moms and kids involved. It was so much fun to be involve with such an organized joy school.

We made a trip down to Utah to see some of the Aagard family members the saturday before memorial day. We got to see the baby pigs, baby cows, baby chickens, and baby kittens. Maren and Eliza were out in the barn every few hours with those kittens. It was to bad that when Maren went out the next morning she found them dead. The father cat had come in the night and killed them. Eliza wasn't ready for the visual of the dead cats so I explained to her that they had died. She later heard me telling my Mom that "the" daddy had killed them in the night. Eliza later confronted Jon "why did you kill the baby cats?" OOPS!!!! So I had to explain that the daddy cat killed the babies. We had a lot of fun, though, throwing rocks in the creek behind my folks home, going on a hike and finding "sea shells", and feeding the animals. It was so nice to see some of the kids other cousins. They all seemed to get along pretty well. Plus, we got to bring home my childhood trampoline. The girls LOVE it! 

Maren seemed to have a lot on her mind yesterday. She asked me "If you go into a volcano when it erupts, will you turn into a lava monster?" "I wish we were rich so we could buy that homeless person a house." "I want to make lots of books and put them in a box and sell them to people who don't have any. Or I can take them to the library so lots of kids who don't have books can read them." "What would happen if I typed in _____.com?" She is so inquizitive.
So the title is true. We are expecting our 4th child. This one is due around the early middle of January.
