06-29-08, Addie and Daddy

Addie followed Dave around everywhere last year.  He even got her to weed a bit.  Notice the dress?  It is one I made, just some speedy sewing that turned out okay enough to wear.

06-29-08, Twinkies

I really like this shot of Emily…

However the wind and nukie take away from Linny’s looks in this one…

They tended to follow me everywhere, and in this shot had moved the chairs to the counter so they could…

eat green onions…wierdos!

06-29-08, Splashin’ in the Pool

Joe and Gav were a huge help in watching the twins.  Bear kept trying to go without his life jacket and this was the first year Addie wanted to go about in the blue floaty without help.  Don’t you just love how clear the water is and all the blue?



  

What This Momma’s Been Up To

Today I am kickin’ it poolside…it’s a breezy sunny day and the temp is about 60 up here on the deck.  The cottonwoods are blooming (achoo!) and the plums and pears have lost thier blossoms.  The kids are running about the yard, finally able to use thier outdoor voices with reckless abandon.  The twins have been waiting for this for a while, but today they recieved thier reward…they finally pooped on the potty without starting in their pants so outside we go!

Well, I figured it was time for an update…

- I am still waiting on the memorial information for my grandfather so I can write up a post…I know my cousins are super busy, so I will keep waiting patiently

- you read above about the pooping on the potty…that is call for celebration!  Are you happy dancing with me???

- my laptop is still working…almost everything is updated and I seem to be able to blog…although a 20” monitor sounds so enticing right now…I need to work on that godliness with contentment thing!  Thank you Lord for a working laptop, I choose to be content!  Amen.

- my bible study is still behind, but I finally came up with a schedule that I think I can make work…I am thinking of doing early (painfully so) morning bible study time and then get on with the day…Sarah Mae has a 5:16 club I am thinking of joining…you know I really think that starting my day with devotions is the key to freeing up my day

- I am working on an interview post about a very dear friend of mine

- I am in a creative slump right now and am hoping that a couple of things will free me up, one of which is going scrapbooking with friends next friday at Creative Escapes…and a little something I will post about in my next post.

That’s about it!  So there is definitely more to come this weekend…

What It All Means

BFP
No it does not mean Bad Family Planning (that one was toooooo funny!  I love it!)
It simply means that I am bare foot and pregnant...again!  How fun!  We are totally excited and the boys are showing themselves to be full of chivalry!  I went online and checked my due date, which will be December 11, 2008...just in time for Christmas.  Now we just need to wait a little longer to see if we get to have twins again!  Crazy!  Check out this cute little number:

Anyhow, hope that you have a great weekend!

Christmas Card

Hello all! I finally got my online card done. I am sorry that I don't have more to say right now, I am just afraid if I don't get this out here, I won't before the holiday! Anyhow, I will post more later! Lovies,DJ

Easter in Missouri

We went to Missouri (Buffalo) for the Easter holiday.  All the family came, except for Adam.  We were able to realx and had a great visit.  Dad watched all the kids while we went to eat at the restaurant owned by Cheri's family.  Cheri and Dad made sure that we had plenty to eat and they watched the kids during the day so we could nap (the twins didn't sleep at night well!)Hopefully we can go again someday!

Valentine's

Grandpa Jim and Grandma Cheri sent the family some sweet nothings for Valentine's day.  We hacked into the box a little early and enjoyed the spoils.  Each child got a cute little puppy, Addie called hers Hobby, like Grandma Sam's little dog Hobbit, only Addie's hobby is pink!  Thanks for remembering the pink Cheri!
