41 weeks

I have now hit my "one week over due" mark. I have been so ornery and testy lately too. I try not to be. I know that I have probably offended many people, and I am sorry about that if any of you are one of them! :) If I go like normal though, I only have one more week until this precious baby decides to join our family! I think I can handle one more week. It will probably seem like FOREVER, but I have lived with it many times before! :) I am just so excited to finally be able to hold my baby in my arms and cuddle her and kiss her fat little cheeks!

precious baby Laila

Last week I was lucky enough to be able to go and see sweet baby Laila in the hospital. Since I was over due, I was so excited to be able to hold a brand new perfect baby! I didn't want to let her go! I am now a week over due, and hopefully I will get to hold my own soon enough....

37 weeks!

I can't believe I am just over 37 weeks!! This pregnancy has flown by for me! (Talk to me in a couple weeks and we will see if I feel the same way, right??) I haven't taken many preggo pictures of me, so I had Randy take a few this morning. I have major bed head, and no make up on, so specifically asked him NOT to include my head, but this is what I got! :) Rebekah wanted to be in the pictures too...
Every day I have people that are in shock that I am not due "any day now" because I am so big, but I still have a lot of growing to do in the next few weeks! YAY..... :)
*Can't wait to meet this precious little baby!

It's hailing, it's pouring!!

Last night it started hailing harder than I have seen in a long time! Funny thing is, I really really wanted to eat it! I was craving it so bad! Then it rained for the rest of the night. We had a good rain. Here it is, after just seconds of starting it was pouring off the roof!
Rebekah didn't know what to think about it all. She just stood at the window and watched. She kept saying "a wet, mommy" over and over again, it was so cute! (loving the finger prints on the window... didn't realize they were there until I looked at the picture)

Dave Bundy Reunion 2011

It was another good year at the Bundy Reunion! The weather was good, and it was fun to visit with cousins! It was a small year, there weren't a lot of people there, but still fun!
The kids pretty much lived in the water the whole time! It was really cold, but I am sure they were all numb and it didn't bother them. They had a blast!

Briallen decided that Karin was her best friend up there one of the days and stayed by her side.
We brought 2 motorcycles up there, and all of the kids took turns riding them all day until the batteries died.
Best buds. They held hands everywhere they went!
Maddie and Briallen started playing together. It was so cute! They are getting so big!






Rebekah loved playing on the stairs!
These are Stetsy's feet. She went and picked berries, and this is what they looked like when she got back...

Wagon Cars!!

On our way to the Dave Bundy reunion, we stopped by my parents' house, and there were a few projects that they needed help with, and so Randy helped Lance put together these wagons for the melons. I went outside to check on them, and I couldn't find them anywhere. Pretty soon I heard them both laughing, and looked up the hill, and there were 2 grown men riding down in these wagons.... it was pretty funny! I didn't get pictures of that, but I did manage to get pictures of Randy with the kids when they went down.

It brings back memories of when I was a kid. We had a lot of fun riding our little red wagon down the hill! Good times....

Naomi's first day of school

Naomi started school a week later than her sisters. She was so excited and nervous, but did so good! She loves school and loves having such a nice teacher and lots of friends. I can't believe I have 3 in school now, it's so crazy to me!

Emma wanted a picture with her too.... :)

Chocolate and Watermelon...yum!

Second day of school

The first day of school was kind of crazy for us all, and I totally forgot to get pictures of Johanna and Karin!! So we took them on the second day! :) Aren't they so cute?! So far they are enjoying school; hopefully it stays that way.

First day of school!

Today was the first day of school for Emma and Natalie! They were so excited, and couldn't wait to get there. I can't believe how fast they are growing!!

The jar Emma has has a black widow in it. Her teacher told her that he has a bug/center, and if she ever catches anything to bring it into school and they can put it in the bug center.

Before and After....

BEFORE:


AFTER!!!:
My washer broke a little over a month ago, and hasn't worked the greatest since then. I have been looking for a long time for something new, and the other day I found this set on Craigslist for a STEAL!!! I had almost bought a new set about a week ago, but decided not to, and I am so glad I waited. These ones are practically brand new, and almost a third the price of what they come in new! I love to do laundry now!! I don't think they have stopped running since they were put in (partly because I was so far behind on laundry). But I love them, and I have a constant smile on my face every time I walk into the laundry room. They are a wonderful blessing!!

Washington County Fair

This year Randy and I took Emma, Natalie, and Naomi to the fair, and left the other 2 with Grandma Carlene. Johanna and Karin went to the fair with our nephew, Zac, so it was just the 5 of us. We decided to go on a couple of rides, which we never do, but it was a lot of fun!

The Caterpillar ride:

The Farris wheelI laughed when I saw this picture, I had no clue Emma was crying, she said she had a blast!!

Then there was this ride called "walk on water". I think they had the most fun with this. They were put in a large bubble filled with air, and were able to run around water like little hamsters in a hamster wheel. It was so funny to watch because they could barely stand up. I was laughing pretty hard! The pictures don't even do it justice...
