This last week.

This last week has been a little crazy, but fun. Last week Caden received his wolf badge, a gold arrow and a silver arrow. He was so excited because he was trying to get it before he turned 9 yrs, and he did it!! This is a pic of him at pack meeting where he recieved his badge, however Mark forgot to actually take the picture when he received it.

My friend Jonna was so good to take Daisy and Caden to soccer games for me. I thought sitting in that chair for an hour was NOT going to be a good idea. I get contracting and thats not really what we want at this point. Mark and Jonna's husband got busy on the downstairs satuday and actually got the big boys' room framed in. It will be such a relief when that is done and we can move them in and get the babies room ready. This is right before they framed it in.That is Kent helping us move 2x6 boards in through the window.

Caden taking a lunch break. We had to move our food storage from the area where the boys' room is going. That is the doorway going in to the food storage room. I know it is still a little unorganized but hey, Rome wasnt built in a day!

Sunday was alot of fun, sitting in the pew was NOT fun. The kids did the program and they all did so good. I was so pround of them. Gemma started it out by saying, "Brother Peterson (her teacher), did you know that I am a child of God?" It was so cute in her little tiny voice. Brooklin told her favorite story of Jesus, Caden sang the song Latterday prophets, with two other boys. Aspen said a little part, and Daisy said a part and sang a verse from "If the Savior stood beside me" with her friend. They did great- Even Hunter was so excited when each one of them went up to the microphone. He say's "Where's Saisy" when he wanted Daisy. It was cute. After the program I went home and took a nap. Caden was home sick with me today. Brooklin had her soccer game tonight, which Jonna took her to. It is so nice to have such good friends who are willing and ready to help. This last pic is of Gemma Goo! She decided she wanted to do her hair all by herself today. Looks pretty good for not looking in the mirror, and notice her bows actually match!! She is so funny and cute!

For Rebeckah- my niece!

Rebeckah had to move from Utah to Arizona and she had to leave her two cats here with me. Their names are Cheekah and Gunder. Cheekah got pregnant and had this little kitten, and Beckah is DYING to see a pic of her. Let me tell you about her Rebeckah.
Her name is PANDA!

Why is her name Panda? Because she looks JUST LIKE Kung fu Panda.

She is FAT and FURRY and EATS all day long.

She is so squishy and cute!

We make sure she gets lots of lovin at our house! Hunter loves to give her kisses.
Come and visit whenever you want Beckah, We'll be waiting for you!

When kids play nice!

The kids were being so cute and playing so nice together I had to go out and take some pics. It is so funny when I get the camera they all say "Mom take a video of me doing this trick." They all have to take their turn doing 'tricks' and each of them need a picture of them posing. Brooklin was the one in charge of these poses. I love it when they all get along together and no gets left out or hurt. I love my kids!!

Hunter fell off before I could take the pic.

How much bigger can I get?

Ok this pic is for my sisters who live so far away and hear me complain- but they are sure I cant be THAT big. Well now you can see I AM THAT BIG! Im in the only pants that are comfy and fit, and this shirt is getting a little small and wont cover the entire belly with in one more month. Which way am I going to grow bigger. OUT? AROUND? EVERYWHERE! There is no room!

What would I do without Jacque?

Who is Jacque- Well Jacque is the one who does everything for me when Mark is gone. Jacque is some one who I seriously could not function without, Jacque is one of my very best friends. Last monday I was so sick, I felt so bad for a couple days. Well Jacque made us Chicken noodle soup and brought it over for dinner, and it was soooo delicious. We got feeling better and by Friday Jacque was back over to my house, painting the babies room for me (I'll show pics later). The room looks so darn cute, she made sure all the seams were perfect too. Well the today, as most of you know- I love couponing and love going to the Albertsons sales. So today they had a campbells soup sale. I asked Jacque if she wanted to ride with me, we would go in the morning and get back quick, she thought that was a great idea. Mark however did not want me going down because he was afraid it would be too much- but "If Jacque drove then I could go'. So Jacque came at 5 am this morning and drove me down to the sale- that I invited her to go with me to. She is so wonderful. I love her to death. What ever would I do without my Jacque? Probably starve, not have a cute house, whine to myself (what fun is that?) So thank you Jacque for everything you do for me and my family. We love you!!

The only pic I have of Jacque. How pitiful is that!!

We have some new additions!

We have a friend who gave us a quarter pony and a filly today. My kids are so excited to have a pony to ride again. They had a pony, but It died this spring. They are not quite big enough to ride my horse and I dont think she is broke enough for them to ride her either. The owners say the mare might foal this spring. That might be fun!!

We always get so excited when we have a new batch of kittens at our house. This time Dandilion had 6 kittens. They are so cute.

We are feeling a bit better at our house. Brooklin is so funny because she acts like she's feeling better, but then she coughs and it sounds so horrible. She did go to school yesterday and today. I wrote a note to her teacher to keep her in from recess, but she told me she still went out. Im sure thats not helping her lungs any. What do you do. We have a lunch to go to on saturday and she has a soccer game. I told her if she doesnt get better she wont be able to go. We will see if she stays in from recess today. Yesterday morning Marks parents had to go to Logan and called to see if I wanted to hitch a ride down. They knew I wanted to go to the Albertsons quaker sale, so of course I jumped on it. There is nothing better than going down to Logan to go shopping and having someone stay in the car with the kids, especially if you are trying to do a big sale like that one! They didnt have all I hoped to get but I got rain checks. I feel so much better having my oatmeal in storage for the winter. Last year I bought quite a bit and I just barely went through my last box this morning. Good timing hu?!! Anyway we got home and put Aspen on the bus and had naps. I love naps. After dinner Mark asked Caden to go out and water the calves. I looked out of the window and there he was, laying on the ground with his head resting on a trough that was turned upside down with his hands behind his head, just waiting for the calves water to fill up. I had to grab the camera. It is a dark pic, but I hope you can see him. He is such a little farm boy!!

Saturday

We have been so sick at our house today. I took Brooklin to the doctor, he put her on a Z pack because she has fluid in her left lung and sounds horrible. After checking her out his exact words were "well you look crappy". Of course Gemma and I just have a virus and we get to wait ours out. We have the whole cough thing and sore throat crap going on right now. I just took a tylenol PM to help me tonight so we will see if it works. Anyway on Saturday we took a break from working downstairs and got some other things accomplished- I say we but it really is just Mark (but I also say WE are having twins and it is really me having them). So WE mowed the lawn and fixed fence so the calves wouldnt get out again. Changed the oil in the car and truck. Did some grocery shopping. Later we watched a movie with the kids. It was just a nice day outside and nice to watch the kids play and be together.

A couple of our calves.

US fixing the fence. LOL

The real us that fixed the fence.

Kids playing together, chub was sleeping.

This is chub Sunday morning. I thought he looked so darn cute I had to take his pic.

Our first Soccer Games

Soccer games started at 6:20pm but actually started 20 minutes late. Brooklins was after Caden and Daisys, so her pics are a little darker. They had a ton of fun. They all lost to the opposing team, but they didnt seem to mind that one bit. They are already talking about their next game

Here is a pic of Gemma, Lauren-my faithful babysitter, and Aspen- who obviously was getting very tiered. Im so glad Lauren was there to watch her brother play- even though she didnt watch him. She was a great help to me!!

22 Weeks.

Here I am at 22 weeks pregnant. Doctor said things look great. Weight gain and all- Im so glad she thinks so!! If you look at my post "its a boy and a boy" from my August post you will be able to see the first pic of me at 18 weeks. I am wearing the same shirt so you can see how much I have grown outwards!!
