Mike's girlfriend Ashley works at the Phesant farm here in town. Last night she brought over some baby hens the kids thought that was the neatest thing ever, they cuddled with them and got about six of them out and were runnin around the house but it was way cute and so thoughtful of Ashley she is such a cute girl!!!

Braxton got to celebrate his Summer Birthday on Monday the 28th. He was so excited we took cookies and treat bags and I bought him a ribbon that said he was the birthday boy. This is his entire class I only had to make 12 bags and buy a dozen cookies different yes but I like him in a small classroom he is sure learning alot!!

I pulled out Brinlee's glass tea set for the girls so they could have a tea party or apple juice party I guess. The whole time they just giggled with each other and Lizzy kept callin me teacher it was so funny. Brinlee kept telling Lizzy how careful they had to be because this was glass it was soo fun.

This last Saturday we went and spent the day in Concordia with Kevy and Binny and the girls!! We had such a fun time we went to a family fair at the high school the kids loved it lots of free stuff!!! We also got to go back on Sunday and see Lizzy's recital that was the cutest thing ever!!!!

Yes Finally!!! We are Pregnant!!! I am 7 weeks along and the kids are soooo excited!! My due date is December 15th which will be alot of fun also. So this third baby is making me real sick alot different than the first two!!! So if you thought I never updated my blog before well it will probably get worse!!!! Anyhow we are really excited!!!!

Today was Dads birthday!!! We had such a fun time and it was so cute to see the kids sing to him. Especially Lizzy "happy bursday" I think that is so cute. I love my dad sooooo much he is always there for us kids. Even as a little girl I can remember the piggy back rides, the softball games we went to, and whenever dad would come home from road trips he would bring us a surprise. I remember too how he worked so hard for our family in that nasty stinky shoe shop he bought. Which I am glad he did so that he was not on the road anymore and was able to be home with us. Now in this day how he works really hard to help the boys at the Academy and how we are blessed to be out here and to help them also. I am soo thankful for my Dad I love him and respect him so much. I think the world of him and he is such a GREAT BIG example to me of faith and determination and to NEVER NEVER GIVE UP!!! I love you DADDY!!!!!!

I bought the kids some books from a book order and Brinlee wanted the Princess one with the Princess tiara and bracelet and necklace she really does look like a Princess I love her!!!

The kids wanted to color Easter eggs before we went to Utah. Grammie made her famous sugar cookies and boiled some eggs for me because yes people I suck at boiling eggs!!! They had a great time decorating eggs and frosting cookies.

When I told Brinlee that Grandpa was going to heat the swimming pool in Utah she had to put her suit on RIGHT AWAY and yes over her clothes silly girl!!! She also was doing quite a dance on my bed to show off her suit it was sooo funny!!!





We got to go to Utah for Easter, we had such a good time!!!! Grandma had an Easter egg hunt in her backyard for the kids. The adults also got to hunt to but the fun part was that all the grandkids hid our eggs which was fun. Brinlee got a little more birthday there also and of course Easter day was Lances Birthday so that was really fun too!!! It was so fun to see Lances family and especially see the new baby Byron. He is sooo cute. MaKaye was fun too she loved having Brinlee sleepover at her house!!! I was a tad bit late to church on Sunday morning so I couldn't take a picture of Brinlee in her new cute dress that Binny made her but I will get one of her the next time she looked so cute and Braxton looked really handsome. We also got to see my family which was fun too the kids have so much fun with Carson and Conner and their aunts and uncles.
