Love this Place


We love taking walks by the river. And I love those kiddos. Neil didn't want to leave. He wanted to stay there all day. It took a little convincing to get him back in the van.





Happy Birthday to ME. =)


This was a few weeks ago, but sometimes I can be a little slow at posting stuff.
So I am officially the big 3-0. I have entered a new decade of my life. I do feel older, but it has been a gradual thing. Soon I will be a Momma of 5 kids, we are building our dream house, and I am enjoying being at home and spending time with my kids. God has given us many blessings which we are thankful for. Things are happy. We all have our challenges, but I feel those things make me a stronger person. Hopefully I will keep learning and growing as a person and especially as a mother.

Max the Cat

We have a good kitty. He often scratches the furniture and if the kids leave a small piece of plastic somewhere, he will eat it and then throw up. But he is sweet and affectionate and soft and puts up with stuff like this...
and this...
and maybe a little chasing, but he definitely does not like it when we are away and makes it known when we come home.

We Love Going to the Dentist's Office

It is kind of crazy taking all my kids to the dentist, but they love going there and getting new toothbrushes, stickers and stuff. Jamin was downstairs with our friend from church who happens to be a dental hygenist. I was upstairs with the younger ones, so I didn't get a picture of him in the chair. He was the only one with a cavity, but it was in a baby tooth that has actually already fallen out. I think that may have scared him enough, though, to do better at flossing every day.
Gordon was looking a little worried.
But he ended up doing great. He opened his mouth up nice and wide and held pretty still which isn't easy for my Gordon.
He wanted to show in the picture his super clean teeth and his awesome new stickers.



Neil did great too. He loved wearing the apple sunglasses.
Then, of course, Tegan wanted a turn too. =)


Minor Collision

I have not been in very many car accidents. This one was no biggie. It was kind of funny. It was such a nice day outside. I guess the guy behind was rolling down his window and saw me inch forward when one of the three cars in front of me at a stop sign went. He just didn't notice me stop again since his head was turned rolling his window down. It was so odd to be hit when completely stopped at a stop sign with two cars in front of me. The guy was pretty embarrassed especially when I got out with my big pregnant belly. I guess I basically told him no worries accidents happen. He was like you do realize this was my fault, right. I said, uh yeah.
Just a pain to have to take it in to get fixed, but no big deal.
The culprit.
