Moving On…
The smell regarding my last post is gone! YAY! Eric said the manager at the dump informed him it was the second freezer catastrophe that came in this week! With all the power outages and flooded basements we had during that last storm I suspect they will be getting more. I’m just glad it’s out of MY house now!
We had our first BBQ tonight. YUM! (Eric is squinting because it was too sunny. We are NOT complaining though!) Eric took a pic of us with our last jar of Grammie’s Homemade bread and butter pickles. Jared said he would miss these the most that Grammie made us. Grampa sent us home with two jars the day of the funeral. THANK YOU GRAMPA!!!! We love YOU!!! xoxo
Pretend Play! Every time we turn around Jared has got some sort of concotion he is wearing! *lol* The first pic is of Jared being a police man. He is using both K’nex from Uncle Doug and Aunt Paula as well as his Zoobs from Mini. He made a “two way radio, Badge and handcuffs.” Phoebe is pretending to be a “Mommy” with her dolly. In the second pic Eric and I were sitting on the couch to then look down and see Jared reading with this thing on his head made out of the Zoobs. It was a fireman’s hat. OF course!! *lol*
On one of our Spring Cleaning work days we popped up Myrtle to make sure we had no unwanted guests! In the first picture Jared is learning how to unlock the tow hitch and put the poles up for the beds. We have two camping trips so far planned with my cousin Kimmy. I can hardly wait!!!
Aftwerwards, the kids helped me clean up my front yard perennial gardens. I rarely get in any pics so you will just have to imagine my hard work.
What color are the tulips coming up? The kids can’t wait to see!
Miss Chloe had been under the weather with a virus but she gladly came
out and sat on the front steps to watch us. She is showing you a white rock “treasure” that she found. Will she ever NOT have hair
in her face?! I had to take this close up to show you how she usually
lets her hair hang. I have no idea how she can stand this!
(Her
long bangs is because we are growing them out. It seems like we are
having to get the twins’ bangs cut every two weeks so it’s not worth
the hassle any more. Any ideas on what to do with the bangs while they are growing out is welcomed advice!!)
Sneak peek into the changes going on at our house! Papa gets lots of helpers this time with putting the cribs up! (If you see splotches all over the wall it’s because we puddied them to get them ready for painting. Not sure we will get to that right away now…)
Check out Miss Phoebe and how she gets right in there to help her Papa! Papa says this will make SIX! (Lord willing, of course.) People always say, “My you have a handful!” Our response has always been, “Not YET!!” Now we can say, “and ONE more!” LOL
I think he is having far too much fun with this! The kids all giggled trying to watch Papa crawl out from underneath. It’s not as easy as it was when we were in our 20′s! As you can see Jared and Caleb are beyond EXCITED to have their beds bunked up!!! There are some pluses to more sibs coming into the family.
More pics to come later with the finished project….
One last “sneak peek” Do you know what it is? Now my curtains don’t match!!! I will show you more as soon as the love seat comes in. We are still re-arranging the living room and making it all comfy. I feel like I’m “nesting” waiting for these babies!!!
I am thankful for the time the Lord is giving us to heal from Grammie’s passing and allowing us to prepare the house better before our babies arrive. As my favorite chorus goes…”He makes all things beautiful in HIS time!”

Lovely pictures. Thanks for sharing your weekend with us. It doesn’t get much more fantastic than that.
did you get the recipe for your grammie’s bread and butter pickles? Heather and I are going to make jam and it would be fun to try making pickles again. It’s been years since I canned anything.
If there was a smell I wish you could share with us, it would be that of the grilling meat!!!
I love your picture posts!!
My, my you guys have been busy little beavers!!! Enjoy all the nesting and the joy to come!! I love your pictures so much!!! Happy Springtime to you and your beautiful family!!
P.S. I meant to tell you that your hair is getting long and I really like it. xox
Lovely pictures! Oh what fun, nesting is… I’m so excited for you!!!
Great pics, Any time frame for the arrival of the new babies?
RYC: She did right after I stopped doing the video. LOL My camera ran out of memory so it stopped.
Came to your site from coolmom’s ~ enjoyed your page ~
You have a beautiful family. God had truly blessed you and now you are getting more babies. I think it’s wonderful. So happy for you. You have so much fun with your family. I can’t wait to see your camping pictures.
Great pictures!! I can’t wait to hear about your new little ones!! How exciting! BTW, I am looking into doing a parasite cleanse. I read on the WS that you had an experience with parasites after going overseas..what did you do to get rid of them? There are a bunch of cleanses I’m finding but I need something safe to do while nursing and wasn’t sure if you knew of any good cleanses that really work.
For those reading my comments… it was my new babies that had the parasites (also known as Giardia) not ME!
This is very common in babies in countries where the water supply is tainted. Anyway, we treated it with medication per pediatrician’s recommendations.
We’ve been able to grill out a couple times this year…..and we are loving it too..Normally, I am not such a summer person, but this year I am ready for warm weather and sunshine…….As usual, loved all your pics of your beautiful kiddos……how exciting to be setting up the cribs……I cannot imagine the joy that your family is experiencing getting so close on your journey….Continued prayers for all to go smoothly…..Karen
Great pics! Thanks for posting them. I always love coming by your blog. I just know you’re going to have a wonderful Mother’s Day!
Happy Belated Mother’s Day! Love the pictures!! And don’t worry about Chloe’s hair, mine always looked like that too! About the bangs, if you blow dry them a little, they may puff up a little and look shorter than they are. That would keep them raised up a bit til you can pull them back with clips.
