FAST UPDATE!!!

Hi Everyone!
Fast update of the past while:
Summer break began.  One week later, at Grandma and Grandpa's House, Jacob double fractured his wrist.  He fell off of a swing in their backyard at Erin's birthday dinner party!  He had a sling and splint for three days, and then wore a bright green cast up half his arm for one month!
After that cast came off, Jacob's choir sang at Lagoon for their 125th year birthday celebration!  We took Jacob and Taylor for a day of fun, and left Hayden with Granny and Big John for the day!  We had a blast!
Taylor just got registered for Miss Melanie Beckstead's preschool for a year from this fall!  He is so very ready and excited!  Taylor also starts soccer in August!
Hayden is starting to talk to us some!  He says, "mama, dadda, go, down, and done."  We are very proud of him!  Hayden, Jacob, and Taylor will all be a big brother again!  We just found out about two weeks ago, that we were expecting baby number 4 into our family sometime around March 20th!  The first appt. is on Aug. 12th to hear the heartbeat!  We are very excited!  Brooke hopes for a girl, and Rocky hopes for another boy!  We decided that we don't want to find out the sex of the baby until it is born, just like we did with Hayden!  We had a lot of fun being surprised last time, and plan to do that again!  Since all of the babies seem to come early, there is even a chance that the baby and Brooke will share the same birthday!
Rocky and Brooke are making plans to remodel the kitchen in our house!  We plan on adding a pantry, new and more cupboards, and new counters, sink, and oven/stove!  We are very excited for our next big home improvement project!
We had a sad month last month!  Our little pet frog, Herman died.  Also, one of the geckos that Brooke got for her birthday in March died too!  This was so sad!  We still have our wonderful dog, Chloe, and our chickens!
Jacob finished playing baseball with Centerville City!  His team, the Mets, took second place in their tournament, and only lost to one team (twice)  They played so well!  Jacob had to watch and not play in the tournament because of his broken wrist!  TOO BAD!  They got trophies though, and Jacob was very happy about that!
We had a great fourth of July!  We went to Provo and saw the Stadium of Fire fireworks and also the West Bountiful City ones.  Jacob was in the parade for Centerville City, with his school Choir!  They sang three songs over and over, and did a WONDERFUL job!
We are so proud of our children and their amazing growth and accomplishments!
We can't believe summer break is nearing an end soon!  Until later.......
