My girls have some moves!

This girl loves to put on a show....she dresses up, she dances and she sings!
You know what else she does???
She puts a smile on my face!



And this girl loves to put on a show....and man does she have some talent!
You should see her hula hoop, she can go from her waist to her neck and back down again...crazy!
You should see her dad and I try to hula hoop....it's more of a comedy act!

 

Sibling Love!

My kids bicker with each other like crazy and ....
it. drives. me. insane.

But then they have these incredible moments with one another and it makes my heart melt and make me greatful that they have each other!

Rylie put up the gate to contain the kids and they all played together!


Scrub a dub dub....Evan and Katelin in the tub!

Sleep over in Mommy and Daddy's room.....

and Evan was all about his big sis that night and even fell fast asleep snuggling with her!

Spirit day at school.....

the little one's always have to be part of the action!

Cruising slowly on the 4 wheeler!

Now they're just being goof's!

They went for a ride on the go carts with daddy.....it was a little muddy!

Rylie and Katelin don't always see eye to eye and I sure love it when they have moment's like these!

Playing cars with his bubba....

Such handsome boys....

Evan looooves his bubby!

You wanna know a little secret????

Well alright then I will tell ya! Our family is expanding, that's right.....we're adding a new member!!!

Let me give you a few hints on the newest member:

1. It is teeny tiny but will grow bigger
2. We do not know if it is a boy or a girl
3. It will cost us a lot of money in the coming years
4. Chet and I spent months discussing it before choosing to go foward with our decision
5. It was a mutual decision
6. The kids are all super excited, well maybe not Evan
7. I am already in love with it

Have you figured it out yet?

Some of you already know because we have told you, some of you probably won't be surprised and others of you may be shocked................because..............we................are...............having...................1................more.............



BABY!!!!!

Yeap that's right! If your one of those who are shocked and your mouth is wide open....go ahead and shut it, i'd hate for you to drool on yourself!

Like I said, Chet and I discussed it in depth and decided it was a good decision for our family. I know their are people who may disagree with our decision but it is our decision so that's what really matters. I actually feel judged by some people because of the number of kids we have but we love them and they make us happy. I always wanted a big family and am blessed my husband has made that dream come true for me.

We are due October 9th and the plan is to let the sex of the baby be a surprise!!! It will be hard not to know but I think that moment will be really awesome and worth the wait.....besides including the big kids we have 4 boys and 3 girls, 2 of each at home so it's a pretty even playing field and we will be so happy either way!

My lack of blogging has been due to extreme morning sickness the last 3 weeks but I plan on catching up real soon.

So there you have it......the latest news in our life, we still have to tell my grandma so if you know her and see her....shhhhhhhh!
