The kids messing around waiting for the home teachers.


One of the many great meals Joe fixed this week. It was so pretty I couldn't resist taking a pic and it was just as yummy as it looks.



Lucy thought she should make the path beautiful as well. Amazing I have any flowers at all.

I missed the before shot, they were beautiful.

Field Trip with Brigham

We went to the Dallas World Aquarium today. This is Brigham and Aaron, they were the only 2 I was in charge of. Thankfully! :)

Brigham, Kayden, Aaron, and 2 boys I don't know.

I think I am close to 17 weeks. I will have to try and do my own pics, my mom is very good about taking pics when us girls are pregnant. I will try to keep up!

We had a fun time today, I was glad to be able to go with Brigham. He is a good boy. Joe stayed with the girls and had such a good time he didn't even put Mary down for a nap. She thankfully does fine either way. Just means she will sleep twice as long tomorrow! Spencer had his first TAKS test, he said it went well and he felt like he got 100. We shall see! It is a big deal here. That is why we had a field trip, they basically evacuate the other grades and just leave 3rd and 4th graders there to test.

The boys also had a make up soccer game tonight too, they played well, won 7-0. I had to speak to the Webelos about Art, so I took Sarah with me after her art lesson and she stayed at the soccer game and watched the girls while I did my thing. I didn't miss much of the game so it worked out fine.

Ten years ago almost to the hour Joe and I got engaged! What a great ten years we have had!

Brigham's musical

The boys are having a fun soccer season. They are learning a lot and doing Great!

Brigham looking from me and I was way far away, this is cropped a lot. I did not get good pics since I was there alone with the kids. Joe had a mtg and went to the performance the following morning. Oh well, he did Awesome. He knew all the words and actions and did it so well!

The weeks are flying by, the kids only have a little bit of school left and summer is well on its way. Joe and I have been watching the t.v. series Lost on Netflix. It is an interesting show but not meant to be watched in lump sums! 15 weeks along now and everything is going well.

Brigham's new bike/photo shoot

Brigham has been having a hard time keeping up with Spencer on the way to/from school since Spencer got his new bike. I realized if I wanted them to stay together he needed a bigger bike. He loves it and we have had fun bike riding this week.

The weeks seem to be flying by. Happy Birthday Haylee! Today is my littlest sister's birthday. She is great! I love her and miss her! I hope she had a good day.

I have my 14 week appt. tomorrow. Lucy has had all sorts of questions about how this baby is going to come out. Part of our conversation went like this (after we established the fact that there is a place for the baby to come out besides bursting through my stomach): Lucy: "so is it going to burst through your pants?" Me: "No, I will take my pants off at the hospital." Lucy: "Will the Dr. laugh at you?" Me: "No, it is a normal thing." Lucy: "Will you put them back on after?" Very funny conversation! :)

Speaking of Being a Mother....

So here is a picture of #5. Yes we are expecting again and due the first week of October. So 13 weeks along. Very good pregnancy so far physically. Emotionally it has been somewhat of a roller coaster. I really am so thankful to be a mother and so grateful for all the beautiful children in our family. It is hard to believe there could be more. The kids are very excited and really want one of each so it can be even. We will have to see about that...later.... We are very blessed.

Happy Easter! Part two

Good Morning, Happy Easter! We are so thankful for Our Savior Jesus Christ. For his life and his love. We are thankful we can be an Eternal Family because of Him.

We hope you had a wonderful holiday thinking of all your blessings.

We really enjoyed Conference too. I am so thankful for the opportunity to be a mother.

We got Egged!

Sorry it is backwards! The kids were excited to find this surprise one morning this week. Thanks whoever did it!!!

Easter Part one

Her head cock!


Lucy and Emma (Gundersen) are best friends!



Mary was very into the "hunt"! They did it by age too so that was helpful!

Very happy with the candy inside!

Lucy was totally serious as you can see by her face!

This pose kills me, she brought me these "flowers" and I told her to let me take her picture first and this is what she did. :)

Very fun day at playgroup!!!

Coloring eggs!
