Fall pictures of the kids

The other day we took some pictures of the kids. I think they turned out good. It is just such a pain to take them in for professional pics, so we usually only do that once a year. On Monday we went to a pumpkin patch with the mom's group I'm in. It was fun, they had a straw maze which was the kids favorite, then a wagon ride, farm animals, and a snack. It was lots of fun. This week has been crazy busy. I finished up all my mowing jobs for the year. And was suppose to do hair today but the kids are sick with a cold, so I cancelled. Tomorrow I have a doctors appt. Dan might make it to this one. It is suppose to rain all day tomorrow, so he'll get to take the day off hopefully. It will be his first time coming to this doctor with me. He came to one of the Specialist appt. but it hasn't ever worked out for him to come to my regular doctor. My friend Ashley got the good news of an induction date for her baby. In a week and a half. I'm just a little itys bitsy jealous of her,no I'm just kidding. We're very happy her pregnancy has gone so wonderful this time and that it is almost done. I haven't gotten the baby's room ready yet. Next week it will get painted and then I'll put the crib together. I just need to get a shelving unit for toys and order somethings for decorating the room with. It is so hard to decorate for a baby boy. I've really had to look hard, but finally found some things that will work. That is all for now, hope everyone has a good halloween weekend.

A Big Buck, and some Dirt Bike Riding

We have been having a fun fall season so far. The kids are doing really great. A couple of weeks ago we went to a Halloween party. It was lots of fun, the temp were a little on the cool side. The kids didn't seem to care. This past weekend Dan and I took Oliver to a track to ride his dirt bike. He did so good. It was his first time at a track and he had lots of fun. He followed Dan around the whole time. They did some hills and towards the end Oliver was getting better at making it up them. That night, which was Sunday night, Dan went hunting and got a buck. He hasn't shot anything for a few years now. He is very choosy on what he will shoot. So at 7:00 at night I packed the kids up and we met Dan and Grandpa out in the woods to do "dear stuff" is what Oliver called it. He is very into hunting and Big Bucks. So he was very excited to hang with the guys that night. Yeah Oliver didn't get home until 10:30 and Dan got back at 11:30. It is nice that Dan and Oliver have the same interest. I'm very thankful.
Well I've got to get going. We are in between Internet providers, so we won't have access until next week, it is driving me crazy. So until then continue having a great Fall.

playing catch up, but no pics!!!!

Well it has been soooooooo longgggggggg since I have blogged. About a month ago our computer crashed. So I've been using Dan's work laptop. And it doesn't have a program to download pictures on to it. But I couldn't wait any longer to give an update of our family.

So for the kids, they are doing so great. Danica is just such a precious little girl. She is more of a handful right now. She defiantly isn't taking much stuff from Oliver these days. She speaks her mind when he does something she doesn't like. They play really well together now. All day long they are usually playing with each other. Oliver always asks her to come with him if he goes into the next room, or wants to play downstairs. Danica is talking more and more, still she understands everything we say to her, it's amazing, and very nice. She is finally getting into playing with dolls. She will play with them throughout the entire day. She wraps them up in a blanket, put them in and out of the cradle, or give them a bottle. It is really cute.

Oliver is doing really great too. He is such a little man. I can't believe how fast he is developing. He went to the dentist last week for the first time. And he did great, he fell asleep during his cleaning. Oliver has always been really into keeping his teeth clean. A while ago he started wanting his teeth flossed. And since being at the dentist he wants me to floss them twice a day. It is so cute. When the kids were babies they were dedicated at church and received a children's bible as a gift from the church. Since then we read out of it every night, they don't let us forget that step. Anyways Oliver's fav story is David and Goliath. The story is about a paragraph long and he has it memorized. He will either say the words along with me as I read, or I can stop every few words and he will finish the sentence. We read the story every night, along with others.

The baby boy is doing well. We go back in a week to the specialist to see how his kidneys are doing. He is a very active baby. Which I am very thankful for. I did get a surprise last week. At 30 weeks I was tested for the second time for gestational diabetes, and pasted with flying colors. I was so thankful not to have that this time. This pregnancy is going quickly. I'm glad though because it is defiantly a lot harder the 3rd time. We will think longgggg and hard about having anymore. But the Lord has blessed us so much with a wonderful family. We truly are excited about having a third baby around here. Well that is about all that is going on here. Hopefully i can post some pictures soon, since I have a lot of them to show off. Until then God bless!
