Suprise!

So yesterday for my birthday the kids bought some of those pop-its. The ones that you throw on the ground and they pop. Well they had this idea to put them underneath the toilet seat to scare Luke when he went to the bathroom last night. Well, in the middle of the night I got up to go to the bathroom (not Luke). I was half asleep and I didn't even turn on the light. When I sat down I did not know what happened to me. It scared the *&%# out of me. It took me a minute to realize what was going on. I had to laugh but there is nothing like getting scared like that in the middle of the night when you are half awake. Luke had to go to work at 3am so the kids have the poppers back under the toilet seat to try and get HIM this time. I just have to remember and not use that bathroom until he does:) I guess boys will be boys, right?

Thanks Jennifer, Amanda and Mom for the birthday tribute! They were great!

Little project

I saw this cute EASY idea from Wendy and Amber and so I copied and made one of my own. It is a decorative cork board. Since I have alot of kids with alot of things to hang up from them, I thought this was perfect! I have some more cute coordinating fabric that I am going to do another one with as soon as I get another cork board. I'll post pictures of them together when I get it done. I think it will be so cute on a wall with some color behind it. But since we are just in a rental it will probably just sit in my closet until I can hang it on a wall of my own.

29 weeks and counting

I had an ultrasound this week and then a Dr.'s appointment.
Things are going great and I feel good.
She is around 2lbs 9 oz.
He is just watching me a little bit close
because of the last 2 being so early.
He is going to give her steroid shots on June 17th.
I feel much better about that just in case I did have her early.
So here a two photos of what I look like right now.
I never thought that I would show myself like this before.
So I am a little embarrassed.
Not my best shot:)
Oh' well!

Yesterday we ALL went for a long walk and there were some little steep hills. Kyron says "good thing you can't get a side ache huh Mom?" I was like what? He said, "because you don't have a side anymore!" I thought I'd die! Of course I don't have a side!

Arctic Cat

Kooper L.O.V.E.S. to ride in the Arctic Cat.
He would ride in it all day if someone would drive him around.
He always talked my Mom into it!
This is him before.....

and After.....

Doesn't he look so cute all buckled up?

Ebay

Yesterday we were at Luke's parents house and the kids were outside playing. Kenzi came running in the house and said, "I need some baggies. We are collecting Indian Clay and we are going to sell it on Ebay!" We were laughing so hard. Sure enough they were all digging way down in the ground finding, what they call, Indian Clay. It is like a redish mud! So they got 11 bags full and they have been trying to get my brother Daniel to buy it. They have been negotiating a price since last night. This morning the boys were talking back and forth about what they wanted to charge Daniel for the Indian Clay. Kason told Kyron "lets charge $1 a bag and $6 tax, so that is a total of $17." Kyron said, "we can't charge tax!" It was so funny listening to them try and figure out how much they were going to charge. Then at church they had a notebook writing back and forth to Daniel trying to negotiate a final price. Kyron is all about what the "buyer" wants and Kason is all business! He wants alot of money. I love little kids and I think it is so great what their little minds come up with...most of the time. So here is a picture of their "Indian Clay."

Ouch!

Poor little Kenz!

This is what happened a few days ago.

We were going to the park.

The kids were all on their scooters.

She was cruisin' and hit a crack in the trail.

She had blood drippin' down her legs.

Then the next day it happened again.

Blood drippin' down again.

She is so tough.

She just tries so hard to hang with the boys.

Fun weekend

Here are just a few pictures of our weekend. I was horrible about taking pictures. My parents ordered all these baby chicks a few months ago. They arrived right before church. 27 of them! The kids have been waiting for them....patiently. They spent the whole afternoon in the barn.

We went for a few rides on the Artic Cat.

We went up on the mountain a few times.

Here is my Mom's "mini " horse. It really is called that. This is as big as she will get. She is very nice and the kids love to hop on her and ride around. If they fall we don't have to worry because they don't have far to fall. Kyron not such a big fan!

You know Kenzi...she would live on a farm if she could. So this is right up her alley.
On Saturday the kids are going to be in a little rodeo. Kenzi is going to ride the mini horse doing different events. It will be so cute. I will be sure to take pictures.

Kooper is obsessed with taking these off all of the doors and cupboards. If he can't get them off with his finger he starts biting them until he loosens them and then pulls it off. He brings everyone of them to me. I have a whole drawer full. We were putting them back on but what's the point, he just pulls them back off. He has everyone in this house off!

Here are just what he brought me today!
