We had the opportunity to visit Tobias' family in Kansas a couple of weeks ago and had a blast. James is a true farm boy!
Hard to tell from this picture, but James is on the 4-wheeler with Aunt Crystal helping herd a 2,000+ lb bull into the corral. James is fearless (notice how far away I am taking the picture)!
Back home, James is busy helping us prepare for his baby brother. Here he has put Bear Bear in a onesie and is burping him. Best big brother ever!
James also helped fix fence with Grandpa. James learned about electric fences and how to test to see if a fence is 'live.'
When he wasn't out working on the farm, James had plenty of time for some cuddle time!
Uncle Josh found a creative (and tasty) way for James to learn to spell his name.

One of the most exciting parts of the trip was sharing the gender of our new baby with Tobias' family. We had just found out a couple of days before the trip and asked Teri, who is just a couple of months from graduating from culinary school to do a gender reveal cake.
The idea behind a gender reveal cake is that no one (except the baker) knows if the baby is a boy or a girl. Everyone finds out after the cake is cut since the outside is gender neutral. We didn't expect Teri to go all out on this cake - but it was as tasty as it was beautiful!
It's a boy! That's a blue velvet cake with cream cheese icing for the top and bottom cakes and a vanilla cake with blue icing for the middle cake.
The baby is growing... and so am I! So excited to be a mom of boys and Tobias couldn't be more thrilled.
