Xbox Tent

The boys wanted mom to help them make a tent that they could play games under. Well, here it is.

OK...So I am really behind!!!

I know!! I have not been keeping up with the posting on our family. I apologize. We have been busy. I was helping take care of my uncle who was in the hospital for a week and the next week I got really sick because of staying at the hospital many late nights many days of the week. We are finally back on track from all the crazy life.
The boys were playing outside with Adam in the first picture. He would hold them up after he threw the ball in the air and let them head it with their head. They thought it was hilarious.

The second picture is Isaac in dad's new sleeping bag. Adam has been doing a lot with scouts and getting a new goody i.e. sleeeping bag was lots of fun for the boys. Gabriel is hiding inside the left side but didn't want to pose for the pic.
With all of this, we are still preparing to have a little girl in the family in Dec. I feel better now than the previous 6 months. It was rough but a new found energy and cooler air seems to have made a difference. I am finally getting excited for a new little girl. It will be fun and I know the boys and dad will love her to pieces :)

Labor Day Kids Kilometer Race!!

The kids ran a race on Labor Day and it was a blast! They got to play on giant blown up games and obstacle courses. By the end of the race they were tired but man they had fun. Adam ran with Gabriel and I ran with Isaac. The best part was turning the corner to the finish line and all the people yelling for all the kids to finish. Gabriel and Isaac both loved it and commented "They are yelling for me!" Gabriel got a second wind and ran faster. Isaac ran as well and was excited to get his gatorade at the end. After the race, we went bowling with my cousin Jill and her son Jordan. It was a great day!!

First Day at Pre-School

The boys started pre-school this week. They were both very excited to go and meet new friends. Gabriel now bolts out of the van to greet his teacher and talk to his new found friends. Isaac has been a little unsure but when I pick them both up they talk the rest of the day about what they did, what they learned, and what snacks they had that day.
They wanted there picture taken with their bike and scooter. They are so CUTE!!!

All right!! All right!!!

Some of you have inquired as to why I am not in any of the pictures. I absolutely hate pictures and I hate the fact that I am gaining weight daily as well. Just to make all my fans happy. HERE YOU GO!!! These pictures were taken at a friend's house, Shannon. The first picture is me talking with Vincent, Shannon's husband and the second is of Hollis and I. She emailed them to me and I am sharing. Enjoy because this is rare :)
I have also included a picture of Isaac and Gabriel with friends Mac and Turner showing their popsicle tongues :)

The Dirt Project

We finally carried out our plan to build up the ground around the landscaping and the ditch that runs down the side of our house. We just wanted to make sure that we never had a water problem and Adam has been planning this for a while.

It's A GIRL!! Or so they say....

Well, we found out last week that we are having a girl! It was a little strange for me to hear that since I had actually hoped for another boy. What do you do with a girl?? I guess we will find out. The boys went with us to the ultrasound and both were not happy at first to have a sister. They have since warmed-up to the idea and have talk about sharing their toys with her but making sure she doesn't put them in her mouth because "...that is dangerous" Gabriel said. Already a big brother!
