And it just keeps growing! We are at 24 weeks now and I am loving my little belly!! Can't believe how fast things are going....We have 16 weeks left give or take that just seems crazy!!!!!!!! I can't wait to meet my little Wess man...I day dream about it a lot and kinda freak out about giving birth but just keep telling myself you'll be fine it is what God made my body to do....breathe!! He is a very active little fella and I can feel him kick from top to bottom side to front all at the same time sometimes it seems!
I have been loving seeds very much lately. Stevan and I planted a pouch of wildflowers and it was amazing to look at how different all the different little seeds are. While planting the garden it is fun to look at all the different seeds as well. The boys and I have so much fun out there. Hayden likes to play this game where I have to ask him different questions about different plants to see how much he knows it is really really fun. I can't wait to plant tomatoes and cucumbers I am very ready for some fresh veggies!!
We had a fun weekend filled with lots of good friends! We had a very nice bbq and a big bomb fire to top it off. I sure do love life and I am very blessed!

Kids are fun




We have really great neighbors as I'm sure I have mentioned and they have a niece that is one of the boys best friends. Every time she is over they are inseparable. I love how kids minds work. I got them some sidewalk chalk which was the best buck I ever spent. They were out there for literally hours. They used all the chalk coloring the entire sidewalk they all came in just as colored with chalk dust! LOL Very very fun. I miss being a kid some days! okay a lot of days.


While they were out playing I was busy making freezer jam with Kaitlyn (my neighbor) I love making jam my wonderful friend/other mother-in law taught me how to make it this last summer and I am hooked. I can't wait for the orchards to open up so we make all kinds!


My wonderful husband surprised me with beautiful roses that are getting prettier and prettier every day! I love him so much. It is so great to have a steady firm family to enjoy and lean back on when the world just seems amiss. Baby Wess is getting bigger and bigger every day as my pants keep reminding me each morning. I can't believe how fast this is all going. The scary part is that we still have not touched the edition I know everyone thinks were nuts maybe we are but oh well what are you going to do.. It'll get done eventually. I'm just thankful we have a home we have health and my husband has a good job. That is a very big deal right now! And if worse came to worse we can all live just fine how things are. But if it is up to me that damn edition better start pretty soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! okay pulling my head back down calming myself breathe breathe LOL! I'm sure it will Stevan has a way of always making things go with perfect timing even if it completely freaks me out first.


Soccer season ends Thursday and Coach pitch starts Monday. He is so so excited. I am to I love watching his games of anything really. Other than that just trying to relax, when I have two seconds which doesn't happen often anymore, trying to enjoy how things are right now in life before they change forever once again.

Goals, loose teeth,kite flying and baby goats

Well we have had a busy few weeks. We have 4 new baby goats, Hayden made his first goal and won the soccer game !! He also has a painfully loose tooth we have all been sure is going to fall out any minute but it just keeps hanging on and driving all of us crazy LOL! Especially poor Hayden. The weather has been so beautiful lately with lots of breezy days so I had to take little Brendon kite flying. Though I must say I was surprised when after 5 minutes he said I'm done. oh well at least we did it. I love kite flying it is one of my favorite memories with my dad. He used to take me and my cousins all the time. I remember one time when he but 3 rolls of string together and our kite got so high that you could barely see it and then suddenly crashed and we had to drive to some woods to find it and try to get it out of a tree. I don't remember if we were successful or not. Hopefully he'll be out here soon and can take the grand kids kite flying everything always seems more fun with him. We have 4 weeks left of school and I am counting down every day I'm ready for summer break and so is Hayden. I am itching to get my garden planted Stevan said he will rototiller this weekend . The boys and I are going to plant some flowers today I am thoroughly looking forward to it. I really really want to make an apron I think maybe we will run into the local fabric store and see what I can find. My friend Eloise gave me a sewing machine. I'm so excited to try it out. I've never really sewed with a machine but by golly i'm going to figure it out! I also want to try my hand at some blankets for the kids. I'll keep you posted!

IT"S A BABY BOY!!!!!

Wesstin LeeRoy in mom's belly at 20weeks 3 days
I am proud to announce we will have a new son around August 16th I am so so happy!!! The boys were so excited as they watched new baby brother wriggle ALL OVER the ultrasound machine..my midwife said I better get some good running shoes because this is one of the most active babies she has ever seen and for anyone who knows Brendon I'm a little scared my theory is they get crazier every time LOL!!I have a video of part of the ultrasound that I will post but it is really hard to see what is going on...we have some amazing pictures though...and he is DEFINITELY a boy doing his daddy proud LOL!! The boys kept saying it's a our baby brother Wess mommy look at him it was so precious. My dad came with me and video taped since Stevan couldn't get off of work which was a bummer but it was really special to have my dad there. I am set on the name Wesstin LeeRoy and the boys are as well..Stevan is a being a bit of a stinker but I think he is just giving me a hard time I HOPE!!

GOOO!!! GOLIE!!!!!

Soccer is going well Hayden is having a blast and will be playing coach pitch this year I can't believe how fast time is flying!! We are going out to dinner tonight with Stevan's family I'm very excited his brother Robert is home he travels with his job. other than that things are the same.
