Really Exciting News!!

Well, I'd like to announce that there is going to be a new addition to our bunch. I just found out that I'm pregnant with our 4th!! I'm only like 4 weeks but I'm so excited!!!! We've been trying for a while to add to our family and it's finally happened. Just thought I'd share the good news!! The only other person that I told besides my hubby or course is our daughter. She is very excited, but she's almost 4 so I don't think that secret will be a secret for very long. What do you all think? My 8 year old son isn't here, he is with his dad this week so he'll get the good news on Sunday when he comes home. He will be VERY excited, he's been asking for another sibling. I'm hoping I don't feel as sick as last time, but considering that I've been feeling kind of ill all week is not a good sign. Oh well, the morning sickness only lasts for a short time. I think I can handle it!

Gardening Day

I am so HAPPY!! After living here for almost 4 years my husband finally agreed to pull out our half dead bushes in the front yard and replace them with really pretty bushes and flowers. We worked on it all afternoon and got it finished!! It looks so nice! Now we just want to get some stones to put in front so it looks nice and neat. Next project, painting the kitchen and finishing the backyard!! We are getting things done slowly, but surely!! I'll have to post some pics of the front yard after we get the stones layed out!

Fathers Day

Today was Fathers Day. I think my husband had a good one. My kids and I got up extra early before church and made him breakfast in bed. He then opened his presents and relaxed. But not for too long! We had to be at church by 9am. We went to early service and then to class. It is the first Sunday class that my husband has gone to with me, which made it very special. I am so happy that he's taking church so seriously now. He was baptized at the age of 30, just a few weeks ago and he has changed a lot since then. I feel as though our family is whole now and that I will have my husband in heaven with me. I was very worried about that for a long time. After my hubby was baptized our 10 year old nephew said the same thing. He said,"phew, now I know that you will be in heaven with all of us!" Out of the mouths of babes! But it is so true. After we went to church we went to my parents and had lunch with my family. That was great too!!! So all in all I think that we had a good Fathers Day! I hope everyone elses was great too!!!

Big Boy Bed!!!

Well, last night was TJ's first night in his big boy bed. TJ and Chris, my oldest son share a bedroom so we brought the bunk bed up from the basement. It made me kind of sad when we took the crib apart. :-( But since we are trying to have another one, hopefully we'll put it back up again eventually. Don't know where we would do that, though!!! I put a bed rail in the front and it fit perfectly next to the ladder so there was no where for him to fall out. He did VERY well!! I layed with him for a little while and he just wouldn't relax so I got up and told him to stay in bed. He wasn't very happy about it but he only tried to get out once!! He slept all night long, I couldn't believe it. He even stayed awake with his brother above him moving around! He did wake up at 6:30am and wake everyone else up too, but that's alright. We'll see how nap time goes!! It'll be an early one today!

Rainy Day

So today is the first nasty rainy day that we've had in a long while. When I woke up this morning to get my oldest up and ready for school the other two were wide awake too. I could have stayed in bed all day and just slept. Last night I had terrible insomnia, as I usually do at least once a week. I don't know why it happens but it does. My 3 munchkins though on the other had were ready to roll! The only down side to rainy days is that I have to hang our clothes inside instead of outside, so it takes longer to dry. I guess we'll just have a lazy rainy day here today.
