The remodeling is coming along

Boy, oh, boy...

It's a GIRL!!!!

(I hope she will forgive me for posting this intimate picture)


A very healthy baby developing as she should! We feel so blessed and are letting the idea of another girl settle in our minds.

For some of you this might be an official announcement. I am 21 weeks along and doing well. Due March 28th. We can't believe this is our sixth baby! A girl will change things up. I told the ultrasound tech about our mix up with Christian not being a girl and she made sure she was 100% sure girl. I witnessed what she did and I agree too. But still a little part of me is untrusting since the shock of Christian. Time to get the girl stuff out!

On Monday night for FHE the girls made two signs: GIRL & BOY. I made everyone decide what they thought the baby was going to be and then sit by that sign. I took a guess too. We were all wrong!!

Amy's Birthday

Amy is Eight!

What a special birthday for Amy! She has been anticipating this day for a long time. For her birthday she requested a donut cake for breakfast, McDonald's for lunch and Chuck E. Cheese for dinner! She had donuts for breakfast and we will see what else the day brings.

Amy is our soft spoken, smart girl! She loves all things that girls do. She is a whiz in school and fantastic reader! Amy is a great friend to everyone and her friends love to play with her. We love having Amy in our family!

As a part of birthday tradition we talk about the day they were born. So far Amy was my best delivery!

She loved her Uncle Bent









We pick up her birthday pictures today.. for another post!

Happy Halloween Again!

What a night! The weather stayed nice and calm until...5:30pm it began to pour! So bummed. The storm lasted almost the whole duration of trick or treating time! Luckily Uncle Brent, Lori, Jodi and Jill were here to take the big kids out while. THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Mike, Christian and I stayed home to insulate the attic. Yes, that's right Mike chose this time to insulate our attic. In between shoving rolls of insulation up into a tiny hole in our master closet I would run down to the door and hand out candy. Makes ya think about where your candy came from next time you go trick or treating.

Our annual gooey, grotesque dinner.
Same menu as last year: jack-o-lantern pizzas, monster toes, green slime, bones, bloody soup etc.


Monkey Brent and kiddles
Change to the previous line-up: Katelyn went cheerleader or I say "1/2 cheerleader" since she is only wearing a shirt

Christian "helping" hand out candy

Tyler's Loot

A very happy Brigham

Both Ty and Brigham left the house with very high spikes in their hair and they came back pretty wet and flattened out!
