busy week

We seem to have many places to go this week.
Yesterday I had a MOPS leadership meeting.
Today we are going to a birthday party.
We seldom go to bday parties so the kids are excited (been to only one in the last 2 years).
Anyone have good recipes for zucchini? I have it coming out my ears. Shredding and freezing some but want to use as much as I can while it is fresh. Roy and the boys want to make a stand to sell it and cukes and beets and turnips. Wish yall were close by so we could share!
Have a super day!!

busy day

Had a great dr/midwife visit! Heart rate is 150.
Went to get gas but do not have the right key for the tank closer screwy thingy.
Got an espresso shake and took kids to park
stopped at health food store for prenatals.
home for lunch and naps
picked veggies from garden. Took boys and neighbor boys to give veggies to several neighbors.
Boys got boxes from a neighbor and have made a fort behind our house.
Fun to watch their boy crreative side :)
yes I am a busy mom but I sure do love it.
Wishing we were closer :(

Outdoor fun

I like to take the kids on nature hikes as much as possible. I was in charge of setting up summer play dates for my MOPS group so today we are going on a nature hike! McNary wildlife refuge is a really fun kid frienly place. last year they added a bunch of indoor museum type things and we have not been to them yet. Should be a fun morning with a educational twist :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIE!!!! Praying you have a extra special year full of the Lords rich blessings in whatever form they may come!! We all love you and had a superfantabulous time with you in SC!! Have a great day!

Good Day!

The weather here has been perfect. Steady 93-96 and no humidity :) Lots of time outside for the kiddos!
I just got a bunch of spring pics on fb. I so need to keep up with that better and it would not take so long to do.
So sorry to hear of Ceasars passing will be praying for you Rachel.
Best get going as I am already off to a late start for school today.

Under the weather

Ian and Avery are both sick again :( Thankfully they are easy to deal with just let them lay on the couch. I am trying to get Levi to sleep till 7. He wants to wake and nurse at 5 now :( would like to eliminate that feeding. I figure I have 4 months to completly wean him. Hard to believe he is almost 1!!
I have my first official appointment with the midwife on Friday. Looking forward to getting to know her better. Roy and I both really like her at the interview, although she told lots of stories.
Loved going through the pics yesterday thanks for all the hard work in taking them and posting them. I am so far behind with my FB pics will try to get the ones in my computer on soon and then work on getting the ones off the camera.
Love t you all!!

back in the swing of things

Off to a rough start today. Ian was up a lot in the night. They watched jungle book last night and he must have been dreaming about the scary wild animals.
Today we are starting our regular schedule for cleaning and school. Been nice having three weeks off :)
When we got home our garden had gone to town with growth!! Lots of spinach and zuch. I had to thin the carrots, beets and turnips so we have tons of mini of each. Great for salads and juicing. I also found several great sounding turnip recipes!
Ian is begging to get back on a plane to SC! He asks several times a day :)
Today durning quiet time I will try to check out yalls pics!! Such good times and wonderful to have a photographer in the fam to capture it all!!
Rachel, Josiah said he took a little girl doll to the 320 house. Other than that nobody knows where the people are :( Did you find any while cleaning the house out? Praying they show up.
School starts at 10 so I better get out of here and on with the day. Love you all and miss you more than ever!
