It's a boy!

Now most of you are thinking, " I didn't even know they were pregnant." Or maybe you were thinking "So that's why she looks so bloated and has been so cranky." Either way-we've had a few bumps along the way so we decided not to tell anyone until we were well past the first timester. But things are lookin good for little Hudson Russell Gainor to join us in March. I know it's ridiculous that he's already named, but Jonathan and I have had 2 girl names and 2 boy names picked out before we even had kids and so far it's worked out.

In Case You Missed It

Seriously one of the best games i've ever seen, let alone been to. Cougar stadium has never been so loud!

Dessert Night

Remember Sunday nights in Provo? Especially in the fall. Everyone has their doors open. People are flowing in and out of apartments and there is something electric in the air. I've watched this for the last year that we've been living here, with envy, remembering when I actually knew enough people here to fill an apartment(and I do mean fill). So anyway- last week I thought, "enough pouting". We had a dessert night and although the children do put a twist on the socializing, it was great. We are so glad to have Damon and Jess back in Utah too.



These are just pictures of sissa, because helloooo, look how freakin cute she is.

We don't even talk anymore
And we don't even know what we argue about
Don't even say I love you no more
Cause sayin' how we feel is no longer allowed
Some people will work things out
And some just don't know how to change

Let's don't wait till the water runs dry
We might watch our whole lives pass us by
Let's don't wait till the water runs dry
We'll make the biggest mistake of our lives
Don't do it baby

Now they can see the tears in our eyes
But we deny the pain that lies deep in our hearts
Well maybe that's a pain we can't hide
Cause everybody knows that we're both torn apart
Why do we hurt each other
Why do we push love away

These lyrics take me to 2 places. The first is a church dance. The second is the parking lot of Centennial High, inside a black 1990 mitsubishi eclipse. The music is loud. Ridiculously loud. 3 teenage girls are singing/screaming along with their eyes closed, fists clinched as if reliving some actual painful relationship they had experienced themselves(at the age of 16). Good times, great oldies.

This concert was soooo much fun. And may I say, Motownphilly, I'll make love to you, a song for mama, On bended knee- the Boyz still got it!
