It’s a BOY!!!

We are so excited to report it is a BOY!!! His name is going to be Tate Samuel Mikesell. He is due to arrive December 2nd but I am hoping for the 1st. Which is his Grandpa Wendell’s birthday. Watch for his blog to be coming shortly.

Henefer Basketball Tournament

On the 4th of July Chad played with Ty in a Henefer basketball tournament. I have never watched Chad play basketball so it was kind of fun to watch them play. And Ty and Katie found out they are having a baby girl that is due a couple weeks after our little Tate comes.

Football

CHAD’S FOOTBALL SEASON IS OVER. EXCEPT FOR THE ALL STAR GAME WHICH IS PLANNED FOR JULY 11TH IN REXBURG IDAHO. THEY HAVE HAD A ROUGH SEASON, WITH ALL THE MANAGEMENT PROBLEMS AND FINANCIAL PROBLEMS AND I THINK HE IS JUST GLAD TO HAVE IT OVER AND START FRESH NEXT YEAR WITH OUT ALL THE DRAMA. (HOPEFULLY) MEN HAVE JUST AS MUCH DRAMA AS WOMEN. DON’T EVER LET A MAN TELL YOU OTHER WISE HOLY COW.

We are having a BABY!!!

WE FOUND OUT WE ARE HAVING A BABY IN DECEMBER. CHAD DID NOT BELIEVE THE FIRST TEST BECAUSE I BOUGHT A CHEAP ONE. SO HE MADE ME GO BACK AND BUY THE MOST EXPENSIVE TEST, AND STILL DID NOT BELIEVE UNTIL WE WENT TO THE DOCTOR AND HE SHOWED US THE HEART BEAT.
WE ARE REALLY EXCITED AND CAN’T WAIT TO FIND OUT WHAT WE ARE HAVING. JENICA IS HOPING FOR A BOY, KEELEY WANTS A GIRL AND CHAD CLAIMS TO NOT CARE. HE IS FULL OF CRAP HE WANT S A BOY. BOTH GRANDMAS ARE EXCITED EITHER WAY.KEELEY ALREADY HAS A BIG SISTER BABY SITTING KIT MADE AND A LIST OF ITEMS WE NEED TO BUY IN ORDER TO TAKE CARE OF A BABY. SHE HAS IT ALL PLANNED OUT. SHE IS EVEN GOING THROUGH NAME BOOKS TO FIND THIS BABY A NAME. SHE CAN’T READ ALL OF THEM SO IF IT LOOKS PRETTY SHE WRITES IT DOWN.

Mexico

IN FEBRUARY WE TOOK A FAMILY VACATION TO MEXICO. WE WERE GONE FOR A WEEK AGAIN AND ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE OF THE SUN. IT WAS EXCITING GETTING TO WATCH HOW MUCH FUN KEELEY HAD. WE GOT TO SWIM WITH THE DOLPINS, HORSE BACK RIDE ON THE BEACH, DEEP SEA FISHING (WHICH MADE ME AND JASON SICKER THAN A DOG). WE WENT SHOPPING ON FIFTH AVENUE, PLAYED ON THE BEACH, WENT TO THE X-CARET (BASICALLY A ZOO), ATE AND ATE AND ATE.

Honeymoon

AFTER THE RECEPTION WE STAYED THE NIGHT AT THE MARIOTT IN SLC. THANKS TO JAN AND CHANCE. AND HEADED OFF TO VEGAS THE NEXT MORNING. WE WERE IN VEGAS FOR 1 WEEK AND HAD A BLAST. WE WERE ABLE TO MEET UP WITH AUNT ALICE AND AUNT BERTIE AND HAD LUNCH. WE WENT TO BLUE MAN GROUP, GOT ALL OF OUR CHRISTMAS AND THANK YOU SHOPPING DONE, WENT TO THE NIGHT AT THE ROUND TABLE DINNER AT THE EXCALIBUR, ROAD THE NEW YORK NEW YORK ROLLER COASTER, ATE AND LAUGHED OUR BUTTS OFF AT DICK’S, SAW THE DOLPHINS AND WHITE TIGERS AT THE MIRAGE, THE LIONS AT THE MGM. I PRETTY MUCH THINK WE DID IT ALL.
WE HAD A BLAST!!

Rentmeister Christmas Party!!

We got together at the Glen Eagle Golf Course had dinner and Chad and I were in charge of the spiritual message. So we had all the kids hold up pictures and my mom read a story. Then Santa came. The kids had a lot of fun. Then Joy was in charge of the white elephant gift exchange with the adults. I think the adults had more fun than the kids this year. Does anyone want to trade Jeff for his half eaten thin mints???

Vegas Baby!!

Sunday morning we woke up got ready and went to Mitch’s house. He let us park our car at his house and he took us to the airport.
While we were in Vegas we went to the Excalibur Tournament of the Kings dinner show, Blue Man Group, Lunch with Aunt Alice and Bertie, shopping at the outlet mall, we road the New York Roller Coaster, Gambled on Freemont Street.
We had a ton of fun. Got all of our Christmas shopping done. We checked out and flew back home on Friday.
