Waiting for Popcorn....

Last night while the kids watched a movie, I did the typical mom thing and made popcorn. Shannon realizes what I am doing and runs to the kitchen at lightning speed....wish that I would have gotten that on camera.

Oh, the excitement!

 

She can't contain herself!!


Of course, she then realized that I had the camera out...such a ham. I have no clue what she is doing here..
She is sooo much fun!

 

Puppies!!!!!

Back in February our sweet dog Lulu had puppies....YIKES!!

A boy and a girl. After much debate, we finally settled on names: Milo and Molly.

Now, at 8 weeks old, they seem so big...because they are!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Where Have We Been????

    Ok, so I'm really, really, really bad about keeping up with posts on this blog. Life has so much going on and I truly forget to snap pictures of it. We have been doing the usual....schoolwork, chores, enjoying this wonderful weather.

    Over the weekend, we visited family for Easter. The kids had lots of fun with their cousins.



 

   

 We also went skating yesterday, that was FUN!!! I should have taken pictures...


 

 

 

 

 

Lunch Did This ....

                               Gotta love an after lunch nap!!

Excuse the dirty table...we did just have lunch after all.

Warmer Weather!!!

   It has been getting warmer around here lately and while I can't say that I'm really excited for a heat wave...the kids sure are.



Still have alot of crazy things going on around here....hoping they settle down soon.

Wordless Wednesday...

I will push....

Wordful Wednesday...Playing Catch Up

   So, instead of Wordless Wednesday, this is going to be a Wordful one.  I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We sure did! There has been a lot going on around here. Too much in fact.
   For starters, Handsome Man has a new job! An new adventure has begun with this new job...many prayers are needed and appreciated.
   The kids have managed to stay relatively well, except for a few sniffles, thank goodness. I need to order some berrywell from this great site. Hope they aren't out of stock...I have also thought of just ordering whole elderberries from here. I guess I need to get on the ball.
   I am hoping to get some sewing done in the next few days....Shannon needs a Christmas stocking....I can't believe that Christmas is about here. I also have to buy her an ornament...This year has flown by so fast and my baby is growing to fast....she is already 6 months old.
   Also, my camera has finally bit the dust...so I need to save up for a new one....I am not sure what to get this time around...any suggestions? Time to get some chores done around here, so by for now.

Follow Me....

I have finally went over to see what all the fuss is about. I have to admit, it's pretty neat. So, if you like what you see, follow me:

Wordless Wednesday: Fall Favorites

Wordless Wednesday...Thinking Hard?!?!

Wordless Wednesday: Hey Big Brother!

Wordless Wednesday...Sisters

Random Blurbs....and a 12 week old!!!

    This week has went by fast! On Tuesday, we took Shannon for a check up...those used to be frustrating when we used a pediatrician, but now that we use a family Dr. (whom we love, btw), it's a breeze. So glad that we found someone that we like, who isn't going to turn around and leave the practice or the area. That has happened alot with the kids' pediatric office. The new Dr. is great!!!
Shannon also turned 12 weeks today! She is getting so big!!! She is trying to sit up now...so, so cute!

  We also took some time to visit our local wildlife area that has finally reopened..YAY!! We didn't see many alligators, but here is what we saw:

  The kids, especially Jacob, are very happy that the refuge has opened back up. The hiking trails appear to still be closed, so that was a bummer. But, we still had some fun!

  We have a few projects around the house that need to be worked on this weekend....hoping that the weather will cool off...I shouldn't hold my breath,lol. And the usual errands, like grocery shopping, need to be done. I am thinking of going ahead and tackling that this afternoon.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!
 

6 weeks!!!!

These last few weeks have flown by....there is so much going on around here. First of all, Shannon is 6 weeks old today!!! She is sooo sweet and we are so glad to have her. The big kids adore her, especially Jacob. He is so sweet with her. It  makes my heart melt. Love it!!!

We are also contemplating a job change for my husband that would mean a super huge move and really big changes for the family. We are super excited about this and hope it works out. So much prayer is going into this. Will update when there is more news, hopefully soon.

We have a lot to do this weekend , not even counting it being the weekend of the 4th.
We are going to clean out the garage tomorrow with the help of some wonderful friends. Thank GOD for them. They are such good friends to give up a Saturday to help us. 

On a home school note, it has to be done and we back from our break...hard to get back into the swing of things. It is also time to go through the kids clothes to weed out what is outgrown...sometimes that can be a chore when one of the children is attached to a particular shirt( I will not name names,lol).

Hopefully, we will make it into town to see some of the fun going on this weekend. Work before play though.

Hope everyone has a good and safe weekend!!!

I had to snap this picture...it is sooo adorable! He isn't taking to many naps anymore and I couldn't pass this opportunity up!! He just lay down in the floor and conked out....with the backpack....no idea why he loves it so.

Off to visit family this weekend so we won't get anything done around the house tomorrow....not much time left to prepare for the new one on it's way and we can't wait!!!

Happy Resurrection Day!!!
