Family Project 2009

So I have never figured out why when people get pregnant it is such a secret. Why do we wait until it is noticeable to tell anyone- it has always been a question. Now if you are a person who has had a miscarriage and such I understand but for someone like me that picks a month, most of the time, gets pregnant, does fine, gains enough weight for two pregnant women wait. So this time I am just going to put it out there.

Trevor and I are expecting number four.

This is our fourth and 99.9% final creation of this sorts. So if anything happens I will expect everyone to know, send me sorry emails and just go with it. I don't plan or expect any thing such as that, but life is never certain. Haven't been to the doctor yet so our guesstimated date is: September 17, 2009. Our little chart says a boy - we will see on that one(it is 50% accurate). So if I am looking a little plump just smile and nod and think I am glad it is not me gaining the weight. Because we all want the insta baby that comes fat, emotion change, and pain free. (lets be honest)!!! So just pray all goes well and I am sure it will all work out. And I expect a lot of comments, and I mean a lot! :)

If you are wondering how I am feeling, pretty good. If I stay active then I seem to be fine. I have been really tired but that is because of running a paper route. I feel the worst after eating and the best when I am hungry and busy - odd for me, since I am a food lover and it brings such comfort and love. And chocolate is one of the worst things for me to eat, it is an instant feel gross, one of the first times in my life!

Quick update!

This post is just an update on our life.... not that much has changed but never the less here is the quick update!

Zachary is all better, just have a few more days of eye drops and we have conquered this illness. I have also found that he has been getting bored or not using enough energy and thus has been a bear, horrible mean worded, fit throwing bear. So if in the morning I keep him busy playing and doing things and then watch a movie for quiet time in the afternoon he is a sweet boy. So I can't be lazy....

Katie is just as wonderful as normal. Got her report card and his is doing great in everything. The only area of improvement, at all, is ................ class room participation. She is quiet at school, church, tumbling, any place but at home. I guess at home she get ride off all of the need to be loud, crazy and the desire to participate.

Morgan has learned how to climb on the dining room chairs and thus the table and climb out of her crib. Although she fell a little once and hasn't tried it again, yeah. She is getting another molar. She has another round of shots on Bushka's birthday, the 26th. She is such a cutie.

Trevor is going to physical therapy and brought home some great tubes and stuff for exercises. He goes back two more times, pray that this works and he won't have to have shoulder surgery! Has finished two weeks of school this quarter so only has 8 more, YEAH!

Jennifer is well practically perfect. :) Still running the paper route, trying to go to bed early, getting naps when she can, and trying not to feel yucky all of the time.

We are a happy little family and really couldn't ask for much more in life but for family to come visit more, household projects done, world peace, a better economy, a safer world, and well no debt-of any kind, more spiritual, (times like 1,000) and for Jennifer- patience. But other than that nothing at all... unless I think of more. :)

Our New Year Celebration!

We celebrated New Year's Eve with a great family party! We watched a movie, had pizza for dinner, played four different games( checkers, feed the kitty, go fish, and the ladybug game) with candy. Then at 8:59 p.m. we got all ready and counted down to the New Year... 9:00 was our magic time. We had sparkling cider and lots of cheers. It was a fun night and I can't imagine a New Year's Eve party being any better than this, with my beautiful, fun family.

- Katie and Zach and their Bubbly-

-The crew-

Morgan is trying to figure out what is in her cup and she got a real cup not a sippy cup. Trevor and I put the children to bed then watched a movie until Midnight said Happy New Year and went to bed. I do hope for a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Sick Zach

I took Zach to the medical clinic this morning and he has pink eye and pussy tonsils. We got some different eye drops and some medicine to help with the tonsils. He didn't have strep but we got some antibiotics for the puss. He hasn't been feeling well really since last Thursday. We had eye drops at home that we tried but they didn't help. So hopefully now his fever will go away, his eye will clear up, and he will feel better to be happier.

One can only hope!

quick update

Okay here is a quick up date as to us this week.

I have been delivering papers, just a sub for a week or so, Zach has a fever and pink eye, Katie went back to school, Katie also got her first six year old molar, life is back on the school schedule, Morgan is just cute Morgan and has a new molar and getting another one, Trevor has a hurt shoulder - went to the doctor, gets to go to physical therapy for 3 times to get directions for his therapy at home, he can't lift any weight with it (which will kill him) for 6 weeks, got a mega shot in his shoulder that is killing him but should feel better by tomorrow, goes back to the doctor in 6 weeks to see if it is heeled, if not then he gets an MRI and surgery, he also started back to school on Monday. My parents stopped in for the night on their way home, dad filled the hole in the basement with concrete and fixed the upstairs toilet, Mom listen to me and listened and played with the children. We, minus Trevor, played games last night together, checkers, feed the kitty and a lady bug game.

We are just taking life one day at a time with a smile on our faces!

I have decided that time with my children so small is to short to forget to enjoy each situation, well at least find good in it any way.

Our new shoot guns

Here is the team about ready to go in for a big take down. After they practiced on the imaginary folk in Zach's room they stocked me and took me down... what fun!
We got these guns for Christmas and had a huge family shoot gun(as Zach calls them) fight. It was a ball laughing, shooting each other, and just having fun running around and being crazy. I just have one question.... where do all of the bullets go?
