A quick update

Man oh man throwing a third kid in the mix sure keeps me busy! But I wouldnt have it any other way!

We are into homeschooling fullswing. Zion is thriving in Kinder and does double Phonics and Math lessons everyday followed by Literature. Dylan has a full course load of math, literature, spelling, vocabulary, grammar, science, history and art. Xander is just content as can be just to be the room with us.

The X man is learning to roll over and we think he is getting his first tooth! He is a very happy baby and smiles all the time! For the time being it is the cute gummy (no teeth) grins!

Greg will be starting school next week and he is going full time. We are hoping for him to be done with his AA next semester. He is already looking for his BS at Grand Canyon University.

Summer brought a lot of time of relaxation and a great vacation! Hopefully we'll be getting some eastern visitors again soon!

Update

Things have been hectic since adding a third child in our family! We are all learning and growing and we love it! The boys are currently in swimming for the second session and are doing great.

Dylan is learning to dive and do "offcial strokes". Zion is no longer afraid to go under water and went under for 12 rings last week. We have 4 more lessons and then this Friday we go to the Ringling Brothers Circus! Both are excited about their birthdays, vbs and vacation all next month!

Xander is now 2 months and is growing so fast. He weights 12lb 2oz and is 23.5 inches long. He got is shots Thursday and I think he's slept ever since!

Greg has been busy with school. He just finished Jazz and is finishing English and Biology - hopefully before vacation July 21.

I am just doing everything I can to keep up with 4 active guys in my life. Working on losing weight and doing some scrapbooking if I catch a spare moment.

Let us know how you all are doing! Have a great summer!

Just when you think you can't love anymore....

Have another baby! Wow! I am so in love all over again! I've got another new man in my life and he is just a complete bundle of joy.

Day by day

I seem to never have time to blog, such is life I guess. I have been busy with sick kids, and a husband with a "pain in his neck" literally! We still have not heard about the house that we want although we are actively seeking out other options. Renting, buying, leasing.....we are not sure where we are headed!

I am now in week 29 with 11 weeks to go! I feel pretty good but I am nesting which makes me sleepy all the time! We have our 3d/4d ultrasound next Thursday and the much dreaded glucose screening test next Friday!

See no time to blog - Zi wants to eat and then play dominos!

25 week Belly Shot

We are getting so excited and can't wait to meet Xander!

Food Co-op

10 green apples
8 oranges
1 bunch of Romaine
1 bunch of collared greens
Bag of grapes
3 yellow squash
1 bag of carrots

We are so pleased, if you add of of that up its well over that amount!
