Sarah and McKay had a gender reveal party this week! So fun! They had an ultrasound on Friday and had the technician write the gender on a folded piece of paper. Then they took the paper to Funfinity and gave it to the clerk who picked the appropriate, unmarked popper for them to use at the party. So, not even Sarah or McKay knew the gender beforehand! For the party, Sarah decorated with blue and pink balloons, refreshments, and streamers. They even had pink and blue envelopes so we could "bet" which gender we each thought the baby would be. Then they counted down from ten and pulled the string on the popper!

It's a girl!!

We are all very excited but Grandpa Gazdik might be the most excited. He really wanted a girl. He wrote a poem for the new baby girl and even already has a name picked out: Amberlee. We will see what the parents decide!

We had a lot of nice days this week that were warm and green and blue like spring! I watched Avery a couple of days, so we went outside and it was wonderful! Avery folded her arms at the table and got very good at the slide!

On Wednesday evening this week, we got to go to a reception for an old friend from our Brookside ward. We ended up seeing lots of old friends! It was good for our souls.

On Friday, Kevin was able to pick up the new boards for our downstairs flooring. So we worked on it a little on Friday and a lot on Saturday. We didn't get super far but we are hoping that things will start speeding up. We like the look of it so that is good! Here are some in-progress pictures!
