One More Story Please Daddy...

Ryan was getting ready to leave for work, when he turned around to find Kai behind him holding a book. "Please Daddy.. Please Daddy." Ryan knelt down and Kai backed himself up to sit on his lap. So cute! How can Daddy resist one more book? smile.

Long time Coming...

The whole family has spent the last couple weeks passing around the flu. You have got to love the winter. Kai actually was down for almost a whole week. It was miserable! He was fine for four days and then got sick again. Thankfully the second round noone else has gotten sick too. I think we are finally on the way to recovery... let's hope anyway. I am starting to feel like a shut in. I have to admit I actually walked the aisles at Target from 9:15 until 10:0o when they closed.. just to get out of the house for awhile. The things you do as a mom! smile.

I am working on a bunch of posts from the last couple months.. including a post of our newest family member. smile. We had our ultrasound on the 13th and it was such a fun day! Just a little teaser.. stay tuned to hear all about it. And find out what we are having! smile.

When you are one...

This is the sight I found one morning last week when I came upstairs.

Milk please.

I guess when you are one and can open the fridge yourself... you take matters in to your own hands. Smile. What a cute little boy!

(And for those of you who are looking closely at the pictures.. no he does not drink skim milk.. he actually drinks whole. The skim was just in front. smile.)

Our Little Rock Band

For Christmas my brother gave the family Rock Band for our Wii. The kids were super pumped... and so were we! We had some friends over for a Rock Bank night. It was a blast. The kids were better at it than mom... and they loved telling me so. smile. It was such a great night! Anyone up for joining a band???

Lead Singer.. E-man

Super Drummer... Miss Maddie

Super Drummer #2... Awesome!

Even Kai got in on the fun! He stole the guitar away from Madison, he wanted to play so bad.

The rock band... Awesome!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you all!! We hope you had a wonderful Christmas filled with fun, family, friends, good food and mostly praising God for the baby in the manger.

One of my best friends, Alissa, took some pictures of the kids during Kai's one year photo shoot. We were hoping to get a good one of all four.. but as you can see, Kai did not want to have any more pictures of him taken. The other kids were getting quite frustrated... as you can tell from Cole's look..."mom????!!!!??? Can you make him listen?... I am bored...." Needless to say.. we did not successfully get a picture of the four kids together. Maybe someday...

Yep.. Five Kids!

We are excited to announce that we are adding a new baby to our family. We are due on the fourth of July! The kids are super excited and are already praying that it is a girl. Madison is really hoping to have someone to sleep in her room with her.. smile. She is hoping for bunk beds like her brothers. Love that!! We are feeling especially blessed this Christmas season!!
