Huntin' Kids

Dove season opened on a Tuesday, and I think Jaxon went dove hunting with the guys everyday til Saturday!

Hanging with Uncle Josh

He loved it! He was their little bird dog, he told me! 

Our first dove cookout of the season was a couple weeks ago!! 

Gotta wear the camo!!

Looking forward to more cookouts soon!!

Homecoming Week

We had a good time during Homecoming last week! Jason asked her this morning what the dress up day was! ;)

Pajama Day

Twin Day

Missed a picture of her as a Tiger; someone was not happy, but she had a cute tail and headband I made!

Green and White Day

Pep Rally!

They acted out the Wizard of Oz scene! It was so cute!! 

Sweet Lexi's first Kindergarten Pep Rally!

Hair gelled, and deodorant on! Lol! They love getting ready in our bathroom!

Sweet friends at the game! We sure missed our other friends!

And this big mama ran and got them in the victory line on the field!! Ha! 

Green in my Blood

I think I was born with a little green in my blood, if you know what I mean. Going to these things with my kids and family, never gets old to me! 

First Pep Rally of the Year

First home game of the season! 

And they are getting old enough to hang on the fence, and be a little independent! Which makes it nice for Mom and Dad! :)

I had a little panic attack inside before the game because I didn't have a green maternity shirt! Thank goodness the scarf saved me this time! ;)

And this week is Homecoming Week, so lots of dress up going on! 

Lots of First!!

Kylee has grown up so MUCH lately!! How can she be nearly 7!!!!

Right before 1st grade started, she lost her first top tooth!! It's been sort of loose for a while, and then one morning, she just started messing with it, and by lunch I noticed it was sticking out, then by the afternoon, she had it completely over her bottom lip, and Jason told she looked like a hillbilly! :) That night, she brushed it too hard, and it started bleeding, so Jason pulled it!!

The new one is coming through already!

She made chocolate covered strawberries for us one night last week!

Then she put on her roller blades, and just decided, she would conquer that! She's roller blading everywhere outside, and inside! She loves it!! I'm sort of waiting on another broken arm….. No not really, but it does cross my mind!! 

Crazy girl! Now, she's telling me she wants to ride the bus to and from school ALL BY HERSELF!! :)

Baby #4

29 weeks pregnant! Hopefully tomorrow I will get a 30 week picture for the sake of the baby's book! :) 

We went to the sonogram appt last week, and all looks great. Seems we are still having a girl, and seems everyone is still excited about it!! I feel Maggie is the most excited. Maybe because she's never been through this before, having a younger sibling. But, she will touch my belly and talk about the baby more than the others. Hoping that sticks! 

Jaxon and Jason are definitely the least interested. ;) 

Kylee will randomly ask if I can feel her, and she is also very cautious of anyone hitting my belly or laying on it. 

We are on track and still due Saturday, November 7th. She is breech; please pray she will turn before delivery. 

Here she is in all her sweetness!! Looks like Jaxon and Maggie I think. And we even got a video of her yawning! So cute!! 

We are so excited to meet her, and wonder who she will be!! Whoever she is, she will be exactly the way God wanted her to be, for she has been lifted up to Him.

AND I bought this little outfit!! I couldn't resist!!

Weekend Crafts

The past couple weekends I've done a few crafts! I've been wanting to make one of the deco mesh wreaths! Let's just say, they are a LOT harder than they all look!! But, so fun to put together!!

I bought this polka dot "H" on sale at Hobby Lobby last year, and knew I wanted to do a Halloween wreath with it! 

I've added a few more things to it, but I think it turned out pretty cute!!

Now, I'm ready to hang it on the front door, but I'm waiting until September 1! 

I also wanted to make a green and white wreath for myself, and then at the last minute, Mom said she needed something for her door at school, and it was her birthday, so I threw this together with stuff I had at home from some mums! Jason cut the football out of plywood, and I painted it! I'm thinking I'll also paint a "W" so she can change out the football! She said she loves it! 

Saw this cute little scarecrow on pinterest made out of pallets, and so Jason whipped some together, and I painted her for the front porch! I'm trying to make her double sided, with a Santa on the other side, but right now he looks like an amish Santa because of the big hat! I'm still working on him! :)

And, I've been collecting some fat quarters for a special baby girl's bedding! 

Last Days of Summer

New beginnings and changing seasons are good. Even though at times I want to kick my feet, and not move on with life, like with Kylee going to the 1st grade. But, really it's good. Seasons changing give me something to look forward to. New beginnings are good too. 

New routines, new adventures, new changes for the family, and new memories made.

BUT we sure enjoyed our last days of summer. We savored having Aunt Haley here with us doing whatever we wanted to do and taking us to Mr. Gatti's! 

Mama got a new loveseat, so the kids enjoyed the box for several good days!

We got all our colors on, and had a pep rally, and still enjoyed the box some more!! 

Kylee spelled words, and then took a picture of it with my phone. When did she get so big?!

We hung out with friends. These are the best times together!! Thank goodness the oldest (Addi) is a very obedient and cautious driver! 9 Kids on there, and they all look very grown up!! 

We had a water fight one night, that turned into Daddy throwing the kids into the pool, and then the kids deciding they liked it, which turned into some fun night swimming!! Ha! 

Bought some back to school outfits! Mimi bought her this outfit from J.Crew! :)

And managed to get to the city pool one more time before it closed for the summer!! All these girls will go to school in Maggie's class in 2 years!! What a handful!! 

We sure enjoyed our summer, but we are looking forward to the fall!! Especially this soon-to-be-mama!!
