SOCCER SOCCER SOCCER!

It is soccer time! This time we have all 3 of our kids in soccer. We are so busy now with all the soccer things that is why I have not been on a lot(sorry). Saturday was the fist game. They all did a good job for the first game. Christian and Tylar are now on a "big boy team" so they have a lot more that the need to know and do in the game. This was Gavin's first thing that he has need with out mom and dad. Gavin only cry 2 times and did some of the game with us off the Field. At the end of the game he told me that he loves soccer. I will try to post more soon and read all of your blogs so don't give up on me:) Here are the photos.

Our Easter

Yes I know it is one week late, but hey you are getting it! We had a very good but busy Easter weekend. We went to Wheeling and picked up our "daughter" for a long weekend, the kids did 6 Easter Egg hunts, we colored eggs, we had dinner with my family, desert with Travis' family, the Easter bunny came, and most importantly we had 2 church services on Sunday.

We finally got Gavin to sit on the bunny's lap and got proof!

Our cute boys all decked out in their "Sunday" best.

Our Beautiful colored eggs!

In the middle of our busy and chaotic weekend we had a wonderful opportunity to teach our boys a valuable lesson about helping one another. At one of the Easter Egg hunts that we went to there was a little boy who only got one egg. So my hubby and I convinced our boys to give up one egg each. At the end of the hunt an older child came up to our boys and gave them each one of her eggs cause she said she had too many. I am always amazed at how God knows exactly how to get our attention even in our chaotic moments.

We hope all of you had a wonderful and blessed Easter!

Tylar made dinner for us!

Tylar loves to Cook so he ask if we would get him a cook book. His grandma had his daddy's old one so she let him have it. This made Tylar's day! So here is the fist thing that he made from the book.
It was good and he was so proud. I was happy that Grandma was here to help because he is a spaze in the kitchen! Grandpa was a good help with Christian and Gavin. Here is our little chef.

letters and flour

We have have a lot of work we need to do on are letters with Christian and Tylar, so I am always looking for fun ways to work on it. Over at Jennys she did it with sugar but I had a lot of flour so I did it with that. I put a little flour on a small plate for each child. Then, I showed them how to make letters in the flour and then shake the plate to erase them. The kid had a lot of fun!

If you have a fun way to work on letters let me know!

This is Gavin last summer at church camp.

So what are we going to have!

You must read this post to the end.
Christian said the baby is going to be a boy, is he right?



Gavin said the baby is going to be a dog, is he right?



Tylar said the baby is going to be a girl is he right?


we are happy to say that Gavin is right!


Now that I had my fun I will tell you that we get to see our beautiful healthy baby today! The baby has a healthy heart, and the coolest thing was that we got to actually see the brain. We did not have this opportunity with our other pregnancies. See if you can make out all the parts in the ultrasounds then I will tell you at the end what they are.







So did you figure it out?
First one was the head see the button nose? CUTE!
Second FEET!! that was a hard one to get lots of moving around.
Third...Did you see it? me neither they tell me when there is no penis visible that usually that means it is a GIRL!! HOLY MOLY A GIRL(dad's reaction) We were wondering if he even knew how to make them. Well if they are right we will have 3 boys protecting one poor little girl her whole life!!! We are happy that everything looked good and we are right on target as far as growth and what not goes. Now we have a lot of shopping to do, no girl stuff!

The boys got my Camera!

I think they did a good job but you tell me how they did.




Kids are so fun most of the time! Can you tell where we are?

Wordless Wednesday!

Our frist baby thing!

He is getting so BIG!

Today Gavin had his preschool Evaluation. This means that he had to go to his potential preschool class for the whole school day(it is only two and a half hours for them, but an eternity for Dad and I). Gavin was all set this morning with his snack, backpack and smile. When we dropped him off I thought he might cry, but no tears from him just a Bye mom. The two hours were very long for me but Gavin did a great job. They only take 20 kids and we are happy to say Gavin is one!

Gavin's first time at preschool.

Tring to put the FUN back in our lives

Lately with being sick and all, I have not been a fun Mama. Now that most of the Nausea has passed it is back to the fun. We have a fun place here in Ohio called COSI a place of fun and learning. So here are some Photos of our fun day.



It was a busy day for me, Travis was at a Bible class, I took the kids out, and got the house ready for some guests. Our friends from school and camp came to visit with there 2 kids.




That next day we went to see Disney On Ice. The boys had such a good time, My hubby and I had more fun watching Gavin clap, laugh, and dance. Here is a Photo of our boys in there new dash hats. (it is from my Hubby's phone so it might not be real clear)



Then only 2 days later we went to see a eat a lot of food hoping a Blue Jackets game would break out =). Our hockey team has an all you can eat promotion that we try to go to every year. This one was Gavin's first one. I don't know if Tylar seen most of the game because he was busy looking at girls. Here is the only photo we got again it is from Travis' phone.


So that explains my long break!

Family Update

As you all know I haven't been on in a long time. Sense I was six weeks pregnant I have gotten sick almost every day..it has been worse lately. Tomorrow I will be 16 weeks, so hopefully it will end soon. On a good note Travis got his part-time position at Westerville Fire Department, and will be starting oriantation on March 16. This is really good news for our family mainly because this department is his dream department. The boys are all doing good. Most days I look at them and wonder how they got so big. They have been mommy's big helpers on my really bad days. Hopefully I am back and can have more soon both with updates and Pics. P.S. I would put belly shots but because I have been so sick I don't really have one. Trav said I could use his but I don't think you want to see those. hehehe

WAY TOO LATE

I am first going to say I am SO sorry for just now getting to this post. We had won the contest over at Organized Doodles and would really like to Thank Rick for such an awesome doodle. It was even better then we imagined it would be. Elsie let me(Travis her hubby) pic what I wanted. God has truly blessed him with a talent that I am happy to get to share with others. There is how ever one issue that has come up...our son Tylar swears it is going to be framed and put in his room not on the mantle like I want. I will win out, but I am happy he sees what I see. Thanks again Rick!!!



Please go to Ricks Blog and see his work he shares with us.

Today and this week

I wish you days of ordinary miracles- A fresh pot of coffee you didn't have to make yourself. An unexpected phone call from an old friend. Green stoplights on your way to work or shop. I wish you a day of little things to rejoice in... The fastest line at the grocery store. A good sing along song on the radio. Your keys right where you look. I wish you a day of happiness and perfection-little bite-size pieces of perfection that give you the funny feeling that the Lord is smiling on you, holding you so gently because you are someone special and rare. I wish You a week of Peace, Happiness, and Joy. They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them. Wishing you the very best for 2009

We have good friends!

My friend Jackie came to see us from PA. I have knew Jackie for a long time. She has been some one that has always been there for me and I Love her for that. It made me so happy to see my boys play with her. Thank you Jackie for all you have done!

Bye to Fall hi to Winter.

This weekend The boys and I got all the leaves in a big pile and had fun playing in them. At the end we bagged them all up, threw the pumpkins away, and got some Christmas decorations up. these tasks might sound small and the norm, but for us they were firsts. So here are the pics.




Tylar would not let me get a photo of him.
