Misc

These are just recent pics. This one of Bree in the green shirt I took today. A pic of Donny's new smile. And Halloween pics. Oh, and our snow day! October28, we woke up to snow. Crazy. It was nice for Halloween, though.

Pumpkin Carving

The Monday night before Halloween each year we carve pumpkins for family home evening. Here are our pics. David was less than excited to carve, so he pretty much just ran around the house with this little pumpkin.

For the Unimpressed

I have heard way too many of you that were not impressed by my giant belly shot. I stood in front of the kitchen wall this time. Bree took the picture so it is shot upwards. Not the most flattering picture of me. Enjoy!

A Giant Belly

For those of you who do not have the pleasure of living close enough to me to see way too much, I present to you this picture. The most ginormous 27 week pregnant belly known to exist in a singleton birth. Please hold your applause to the end of the pregnancy when even moms of quads will stare in amzement. Why I wore a black shirt in front of a black wall is anybody's guess.

The Last Thing I Need

What, may i ask you is the last thing I need? When I put my kids to bed at night for them to get up and crazy for the next hour. Don't I need rest and relaxation? Don't I need some downtime? Don't I need some peace and quiet? WHO WARMS THE SUN?

First Donny stands up in his bed. Then Bree goes to the bathroom, so of course David needs to get up out of his bed to go get in Bree's bed. (who, by the way, told me yesterday she no longer wants a nickname and wishes to be called, Gabrielle) Well, Donny needs to get up to make sure David is back in his bed. Then David sits up in his bed pretending to choke on his sleeper because he does not like sleepers anymore and only wants jams. So I change David into one of Donny's shirts, because at this point I am so tired or lazy, call it what you will, I just cannot go through with the extra step of pants. I still can't get David to chill so Donny goes and sleeps in my bed. Seriously, I need an hour just to come down from what just happened.

So one morning later, the kids are at school. David and Parker are running through the house like it's the last day to run, and I am sure the whole thing will happen again tonight. You know what a woman like me needs? One more baby!

A new girl!!

I am sure by now most of you know, but just in case, we are having another girl!! Now is the time to weigh in on your favorite names. A couple of Names we are thinking of are; Mallory Jade, Ava Roxanne, Ginger and Brooklyn. Here she is sucking her little fingers.

This is Bree's first day of Kindergarten. What a beautiful little girl.

She insisted on wearing this outfit even though it was hot and it is still too big. What can I do, at least it matched?

Donny is in first grade now. He loves it! I love his teacher, Mrs. Bickers because she is not an advocate of homework. He reads for 20 min per day and has one page of homework. Thank you, we love you, Mrs. Bickers.

How do they grow up so fast?

Oh What a Day

Well, after much harrassing from Bree, saying we were having twins for weeks now, we have had our ultrasound. There is most definately one baby in there. Another couple of months to find out the color. The heartrate is 160. You know what that means...it could be a girl, or a boy. My doctor laughed as he told us we had a 50/50 chance.


Yesterday I was starting to lose it because our house was a mess and that makes me feel crazy inside. Donny was so funny, he must have felt the impending doom of my mood, because every time I asked him to do something, he would say,"Oh yes my mother dear, I would sure love to." How could I possibly be upset after that? We got the upstairs clean with a few laughs.

This is Bree at five. She LOVES animals.
