So I got to go out and do a little golfing this week, and I got to say its good to finally have summer here. I got to thinking while I was out on the course, we all need to get together and play (everyone is invited). I know allot of you are a long ways away and its not realistic but the ones that are interested let me know and I will set it up. Maybe if we are lucky we can talk the parents into letting us use there backyard for a barbecue afterwards. We did this a few years back with Becky and Ken and it was a blast so I say lets do it again. Stop talking about it and do it, my days of a free man are almost over so I need to get in a lot of playing this summer. Love ya all tonz, Jared

At 4 1/2 inches long (head to bottom) and 3 1/2 ounces, the baby is the size of an avocado. In the next three weeks, she/he will go through a tremendous growth spurt, doubling her weight and adding inches to her length. The patterning of her scalp has begun, though her hair isn't recognizable yet. Although closed, her eyes are moving (slowly).

So I have been keeping track of the baby's progress but it is starting to get a little gross, and the pictures are a little to vivid. Love ya all tonz, Jared & Kayleen

So we got up this morning and got ready for the day, after Kayleen got out of the shower she tried on

a bunch of different shirts. I know most of you think, shes a women its in her nature. The reason she

tried on so many cloths was because she said "everything I own makes me look fat, I want to look

pregnant". So being the problem solving guy I am I came up with a solution so everyone would know

she is pregnant not "fat". I wonder if she will wear it all day, I guess we will find out.

Here are a few pictures from the place known as Streator Paradise (Sunten).




My dad and I in A heated race of course as you can see dad won...



Trying to ride a kayak behind the boat is not as easy as it looks..



Here I am making a fool of myself acting like I can still ski



This is my dad giving me a few tips (after falling)



And of course the beautiful mother to be (and my moms butt sorry mom LOL)

Well we have been asking everyone else what the baby will be, but we have not thrown our opinions in. Kayleen (the glowing mother to be) thinks it will be a studlly boy just like his dad. Jared (thats me) also thinks it will be a boy, mostly because I am scared of girls. I know I know, but there is just something about a girl that makes me nervious. I dont want anyone to think I dont want a girl or that I wouldnt be the happiest dad in the world if I had a girl but my gut just thinks it will be a boy..

Check out the stud on the Zilla, even in a still picture I look like I am going fast

At around 4 inches long, crown to rump, your baby now weighs about 2 1/2 ounces. He's busy inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluid, which will help the air sacs in his lungs develop. Sweat glands are appearing, and although his eyelids are fused shut, he can sense light. If you were to shine a flashlight at your tummy, he'd most likely move away from the beam. If you're scheduled for an ultrasound in the coming weeks (most women have one between 16 and 20 weeks), you may be able to find out whether your baby's a boy or a girl !

So here it is the first pic on the new blog.

We hope to here from you all soon, Love Jared and Kayleen

We had a doctor appointment today. We got to here the heart beat, that’s the coolest sound I’ve ever heard. He said that it sounds really strong and healthy. The baby is very active we could here it moving around and kept losing it on the Doppler. We get to go back on the 2nd of July and find out if it’s a Boy or Girl. We want to get everyone’s guess, then I can get a tally them up to add then to the baby’s scrapbook.

Jared wants me to keep this blog up dated so here I go. I'm not so computer savoy so hold on to your key board.
