Christmas time

so this Christmas we were suppose to go to Portland but our car wouldn't cooperate so we stayed home and enjoyed Christmas with Gramie and PopPop then on Christmas day Nanna and Gramps joined us for dinner and a few days of fun. One day before Christmas Bootsie got her first haircut from her big brother Boo Boo one whole side is gone. booo hoooo. it was a very tramatic affair for this mother needless to say Boo Boo has a pig shave now and sissy wants one to match....... I am going for my next apt. for the new baby on the 4th there should be another ultra sound scheduled shortly there after yes we will be finding out the sex this time and I will give another post as to what it is we are all getting pretty excited around here about the new baby. names are picked either Samuel or Hannah. Oh yes I fogot to tell you C.J has lost all four of his frount upper teeth dosen't he just look adorible?

always something new and suprising here

well since hollween we have had Thanksgiving which we were privelidged to share with my husbands mom and dad it was great we ate and enjoyed each others company we even did a little after Thanksgiving shopping. C.J. had a school feast which I made the turkey, mashed potatoes, and gravy for. Boo Boo had a class feast as well and I got to bring drinks for that one there will be no pictures of Boo Boo's class feast because I lost my camera after C.j's class feast so consequently no pictures of Thanksgiving dinner either and the table looked great. Anyway I found my camera It got left behind at C.J.'s class. so I am back to taking pictures like a mad woman. After Thanksgiving we had my Birthday and here is a picture of the cake my hubby and the kids made me it was awsome. on my birthday I also got one last suprise we are having a baby yep you heard right a baby I know hu........... number four how crazy are we apparently I am four months along and yep four months along so only a month till we know what it is and five till it's here wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The kids had there Christmas dance recital and it was awsome. I will post pictures later as I did not take them Dad did cause I was busy teaching. Love to you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year may our Lord and Savior be your strength and support in this new year.

so many things going on so little time to report

so since I last blogged we had gone to boo boo's class pumpkin patch trip. since then we have gone to CJ's class pumpkin patch trip where we all once again picked out a pumpkin and looked through the verious fruits and veggies that were grown on the farm and ready for sale then we ate fresh apples they were delicious. the children played in the grass and we took pictures then it was time to load up what a great trip. next we had school Holloween partys firs was Ben's it was pretty low key so only one pic. but they had the best carmeled apples I have ever eaten thanks to one of the moms. next was c.j.'s it was a little bigger production we had food and a parade to all the other class rooms in our costumes then down to the office we had ants on a log, sliced cheese, olives, pickles, cornbread muffins, carrots,and a little bit of candy also we put together goodie bags. it was fun and semi- healthy all at the same time. Next we had a holloween party at dance class it was great we did all of our fall dances and ate the pic of all the small cute kids is my saturday class of 2 and 3 year olds they are awsome and I love each one. then ofcourse I can't resist a great pic of my bootsie and my skinny minnie. after holloween we had a small matter of cj's birthday to rectify see we have been sick for the last five weeks and I still am not quite back to full steam so during this time was his real birthday which we had to post pone so after waiting almost a whole extra month we had a party with a owl cake and a few of our close friends. He got a bow and arrow set so he can hunt with dad, a scooter from aunt jenny, a shirt, survival kit,and bakugons, and a transformer what a great birthday. during this time our dad was away on business in Atlanta he was gone for three and a half weeks it was terrible. anyway he is back now and we are glad of course bootsie barely lets her dad out of her sight but that dosen't bother him at all. The last thing that has happened is my in laws came for a visit and we got the priveledge of celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary with them we got a babysitter for the kids and went to Boise to a place called Tucanos Brazillian Grill it was an awsome night one I think they will remember forever they even got to play musical instuments together while being sung to. and there was an awsome sunset some times we forget to appriciate the simple things like sunsets on our anniversary.

Time never stands still

so much has happened and I have had no extra energy to blog it all I guess the last time I blogged was after we went camping over laborday weekend so since then my mother and father-in-law have bought a house over here so they can tend to clients they have over here better and also see the grandkids more. So i have been busy helping them get it ready to stay in. Also we have hit quite a spell of sickness here in this little town we live in the swine flu and 2 other viruses have just been taking people out left and right and we are no exception we spent 1 1/2 weeks pucking to turn right back around and get the flu we don't know if it is the swine or not cause they are not testing for it any more but we wounder. My best friend called to check on me she is a nurse and said that it is the bacteria infection after the flu that they worry about cause it turns to phenomia. so we are on the lookout and being extra careful. other stuff going on is cootsie bootsie had her first dentist apt. which she did great at, Boo Boo has had his first school feild trip to the pumpkin patch which he was able to share with his brother and sister. Then there is C.J. who had grandparents day and also got a citizenship award for his kind and helpful heart. I think I almost cried when he got it.any way I am bursting at the seams with joy and pride for each of my children are growing more and more each day into the men and woman God would have them be. now what you all have been waiting for pictures.
