Baby News

I am half way there! At 20 weeks the count down begins, along with the count up, of my weight. As of my last visit to the doc. I have gained 5 pounds. that's all and if you didn't know me you could not even tell I am pregnant. The baby is sitting so far in to my back it hurts!!
It has been fun to feel the little squirmier wiggle and move! All of the kids have been able to feel the baby move. It is so fun to see there faces light up and laugh when they feel the baby nudge them.
I have been feeling better this is still the hardest pregnancy yet, but also the funnest the kids love there baby brother so much already! And yes I did say brother. Contrary to my beliefs it is a boy! He was definitely more than willing to let us know. So bring on the blues, greens and the monkeys!!

Lady Bugs's Big Day

My baby is 8 years old! I can not believe the day came so fast! She is amazing! She is so smart, she loves crafts, playing with anyone who will play with her and, she loves to make people laugh. I don't know what I would do without her!

Bug was Baptised by her Daddy. She was so exited!!! She had never gone under water before. (she was to scared) So we had a wonderful friend who let us use her indoor pool so Bug could practice. The day of the baptism she was Way more exited then scared she wanted to be baptised so bad! It was so sweet! The evening was full of the sweet spirit! My baby looked like an angle! I am so proud of her and thankful for the choices she has made! She is such a wonderful example to her brothers and sister!

The confirmation and blessing were so beautiful that next morning! Bug got up to share her testimony which was beautiful and made me cry. Her daddy also shared his testimony for the first time. It made me so thankful for everything the lord has blessed our family with, and how far we all have come in such a short time. Also that no matter how hard things get, every thing will be OK. We also had the opportunity to hear from Bug's Grandpa (Daddy's dad) and Great Grandpa. It was so fun to hear 4 generations of testimony in one meeting. I am so proud of Bug! I love her so much and I know her Heavenly Father loves her also and is so proud of the choices she is making!
