This is a great place to go if you would like to help the people in Haiti right now. One of our friends from college, Mioche Rock, is a missionary there and they need our help. Please consider donating money and pray. You can give to support Mioche Rock or you can give to Haiti Relief, either one will be helping the people of Haiti.

Kylie and school events

This is Kylie's class at her Christmas program last night. She was the letter "T" in Christmas. She did a great job with her line.


Kylie was a little Indian girl for her Thanksgiving/Harvest day at school just before Thanksgiving break. She was really cute. I made her outfit out of some of my older clothes. It was fun to put together.

Busy Day!

I had a doctors appointment today. I am now every week until this baby is born, we are at 36 weeks now. I am almost done with pregnancy. Bitter sweet.

Dan stayed home with Natalie and Alyssia so I could go get our grocery shopping done today. I just love to shop by myself.

After we picked up Kylie from school, we took all the girls to the local Health Department and they all got the H1N1 shot today. They will have to get the other half in a month.

We also moved Natalie upstairs yesterday so she can get use to sleeping up there before the next baby comes along. Dan says it is for him to get more exercise going up and down the stairs. She doesn't get up in the night but she still will wakeup crying some,looks for her pacifier and the assurance that we heard her and back to sleep she goes.

We still have to pick out a name for this baby, we just don't know yet.
Have a great day!

Name for Baby!

We have not come up with a name for this next baby girl. If anyone has any ideas we would love to hear them.

Parent/Teacher Conference

We had parent teacher conferences on Thursday with Kylie's Teacher. Kylie is doing very well. She said the Kylie has a sweet and gentleness about her. She is kind to others and is very respectful. She is also doing very well academically. I think her reading could improve. She can sound words out pretty well but it takes her a while sometimes and that frustrates her. Overall very good report and that, of course, makes mom and dad very pleased. Good job Kylie!

Getting caught up.

Kylie took a picture of my belly for me. Alyssia had to be in it as well. I am getting a pretty good size belly.

Natalie loves our dishwasher. She loves to help me whenever it is open. I had emptied it and walked around the corner and this is where she placed herself. So cute.

Natalie got to enjoy the birthday cake that her sisters and I made for her 1st Birhtday. She didn't really eat that much of it though. She started throwing it so she was done.

This was Kylie on her first day of school. She was very excited of course to be there. Her teacher is behind her in the black and white outfit. She was standing by her table spot.

The girls all decided to cuddle with me on the couch one evening. Dan took the picture. The corner spot on our couch is the best spot to be in. Pretty soon we will be adding one more girl to the mix. So much fun.

Natalie is 1 year old today. She is walking, says ma ma but does not have any teeth yet. She is so big. Kylie, Alyssia and I made a cake for her last night but we need to get home today to eat it tonight. Fun, Fun

Kylie has her first day of Kindergarten tomorrow. She is very excited. I will have to get pictures of her first day on soon.
I have been missing in Action this summer on blogger. We have not had internet at our house all summer and probably won't have it until the corn comes down. So I cannot wait for the corn to come down. The fields around us are usually the last ones harvested though. Oh well, we will make it.

Summer Fun!

Dan gave Alyssia a ride on a buggie board. We had a great time in New Jersey with Dan's family. We went to the Beach a couple of days while we were there.

Natalie was very good on the beach. She stayed on the blanket under the umbrella most of the time and played.

Alyssia loved the ocean. She, her sisters and cousins played very well together.

Dan's Uncle and Aunt's house had a dog that a couple of years ago was really jumpy but this year he was so good. He had mellowed quite a bit. He would follow Natalie around and lay next to her and watch her play. So very cute.

Here is Alyssia trying out the Buggie Board.

Alyssia was learning to jump with the waves as they came in.
We went to the fair this summer and the girls got to ride a lot of rides.

Natalie had her first experience in the grass this summer. She didn't want to move for awhile.

This was our 4th of July picture of the girls. We of course went to see the fireworks.

News!

Dan and I are expecting our fourth in December. We will have an ultrasound the very end of July to possibly determine the gender of this baby. Pray all goes well.

Our June

Look at this little girl! Natalie is now pulling herself up on furniture. She does not move around very fast yet but she is up and trying to take all she can from her sisters. Fun

Here are the lovely sisters. They had to have pictures of them when I took Natalie standing.

We enjoyed some time with our camp cook, her husband and their grandkids. The grandkids came to visit them for a couple of days so our kids made new friends. We had a campfire and roasted marshmallows.


The girls and I went to a wedding. The wedding was for a young man that I babysat alot when I was in High School. Crazy. They are very cute. So fun. We went to the reception and danced as well.

Outing with Staff

Yesterday we had a staff outing with the camp summer staff. Most of the staff took out Kayak's. They had a good time. Our family took a canoe out first and it was nice to be able to leave baby and be able to canoe. Kylie and Alyssia were funny. Kylie was nervous the whole time because it would rock and she was afraid that we would tip over. She had Alyssia pushed to her side of the canoe so she was more in the middle. Alyssia was great. She had her paddle dragging the whole time (helping us paddle). She even sang songs which made Kylie even more mad. Crazy. So we took the canoe back and then took out a paddle boat. Kylie was much better in that. She was paddling with her dad some and was fine. Natalie was well taken care of by Cliff, Marcia, Ralph, Juanita and Jennifer on the shore. She is now almost 8 months old and crawling some. She gets around pretty fast.

This was before we went out on the canoe. The girls were really cute in their life jackets.

We had a fun day at the park. Dan, Kylie and I also played Frisbee for a little while before we went out for lunch with everyone. It was a great day to be outside.

Kylie in Mother's Day Program

Kylie's class put on a Mother's Day program. They recited a few things and sang songs. They also gave all the mom's a flower and a brotch (pin?) that they had painted in class. Very cute. They of course did a great job.








These are a few of the pictures that I took of the girls on Mother's Day. They were all cute in their dresses.
