They climb!
They LOVE dirt!
And here is a big announcement...
We are going to have another little boy joining our family at the end of December!
It was a huge surprise, but we're grateful that all looks well. My neighbor is always telling me, "if you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans." Isn't that the truth! My doctors have told me that they actually take it as a good sign that my body is getting back to normal. It happened far enough after my last treatment that there is no concern with effects there. We're just trying to get my thyroid levels adjusted since pregnancy hormones just kind of throw everything a little out of whack. Mostly, I'm trying to adjust mentally that we're going to have 5 kids! I still have to take a deep breath saying that. :) When I saw him on the ultrasound though, it was just a huge comfort that it's all going to be okay. We're all excited, and wanted to share the good news with y'all!

(I'm biased towards December babies.)
Wow congratulations Melissa. You're such a wonderful mother. This baby will be so blessed!
Oh wow Melissa!!! You are so good at keeping secrets. Congratulations and good luck! I was just telling Trent today how scared I am for four (that is not an announcement)...I can't imagine FIVE! You are amazing though, no denying that!
We are so excited for you guys! He couldn't come to a better family!
You will be in our prayers and hope that you will have a healthy and happy rest of your pregnancy. When you are big and pregnant in December just think about how special it is to have a little baby boy around Christmas time. It really brings a new light to the Christmas Season and the True meaning of Christmas.
Congrats Guys!
Congrats Melissa. You will do great with 5 children. We will both have 3 boys and 2 girls. Lauren will be a big help with the new baby. Abbie has been a life saver with Olivia. It will also be nice to have the three boys close together. How fun!
Congrats! What a lucky little boy to be in your family.
Holy Guacamole girl!!! Why oh why is this the first time I am hearing about this??? Did you forget my email address???
How exciting! You will do great with 5! You are such an awesome Mom!!!
I am soo excited about your news!!!
Sydney thinks you are going to need to have another little girlie to even out the score!!!
Yeah! We're so excited! The pictures of Spencer are darling, too. Maybe he'll come December 9th?? I know that's a little soon, we of course want him to be healthy but that would be kind of fun! You just take care of yourself and that little nephew of mine - he already looks like he'll be a very cute kid.
Our Josh was born 12/25/99 and it was a neat event. He thinks having double presents on that day (morning and night) is a treat, but Satan and I don't agree...
Oops! I mean, SANTA and I don't agree...
Love you and good luck.
What a lucky little boy this will be, to come into YOUR sweet family!! Really I can't wait to meet this little guy that defied all odds! I also had a good chuckle at Annalee's comment about Satan!!:)
We sure love our Smith cousins and are glad they keep on a comin'!!
Holy Moly, How exciting! Congratulations, you and Hyrum are such awesome parents, it sounds like the Lord was determined to have you raise more of his sons :o)!
Congrats guys!! I was just thinking about how much fun boys are, and how much extra laundry we do during the summer. Spencer and I are both December birthdays, this is an extra special month. Good luck to you, you guys are wonderful parents, if anyone can do five kids, its you.
Holy Cow! CONGRATS you guys! Your family is beautiful! Oh, to have 5!!! What lucky parents you are and to come as such a surprise--all the more "fun!" We are so excited for you. Stay well, you're in our prayers, the Hendersons
