You did this to me.



I am hoping by now that the word has got around enough for me to make a post on my blog. Kwinton and I found out just after Christmas that we are expecting our fourth (and last) child. I didn't want anyone to have to find out via the internet so I hope the word has somehow spread. Anyhow, I will now present you all with our story (well, anyone who cares to read it that is).
I was actually pretty happy with our three lovely kids and things were great. Until that fateful day which always comes and Kwinton asks when we are going to have another one. It took me some time and some convincing and I agreed. After about 7 months and no luck I was the one doing the convincing. "Lets just wait......I think I am good with 3 kids.........lets plan a vacation" Well, it worked, Kwinton agreed to put off number four until I was a bit more ready. But what we always learn from these situations is that the decision is ultimately not ours to decide. Just as we began the process of prevention, alas, it was too late. So here we are 9 weeks of a baby in my tummy and feeling like blah. Hopefully the icky will pass quickly. But we couldn't be happier that we have been so lucky to have been given all of our children and now one more to COMPLETE the family. However as I move through these days of nausea and tiredness I reserve the right to say "You did this to me" whenever I want!

Christmas is Here!

I am just getting around plugging in my camera and pulling off the pictures from the Holidays so these are a little behind. Please forgive me for my next few post being out of order and weeks late. Christmas was a whole lot of crazy around here. We all had so much fun at all of the family parties and events. The kids made a good haul this year getting lots of fun toys and games. I guess Santa must have thought they were pretty darn good this year. Gabe came out with a Nintendo DSI, a scooter, and a few other little things. Cali also got a scooter and A TON of little horses and a stable, along with some other animals and games. Cole got some fun action figures, but his favorite for sure is the Elmo restaurant. I am so blessed to have such a sweet husband and kids that I get to enjoy the holidays with.

So excited for the book Cali got him!

Yeah, Christmas Rocks.

Cali was the slowest opener, I guess she is just
trying to enjoy the moment.


Cole got the hang of it pretty quick!

Basketball Star

Gabe just started playing Jr. Jazz this year and he is doing great. He is not the tallest kid on the team (nor will he ever be) but he tries harder than anyone out there. He gets so excited when he is out there playing he literally cant wipe the goofy grin off his face. He scored his first basket in his third game. Pretty good if you ask me, considering he has never played basketball before this. Here are some pictures of his action!

Good defense.

Team huddle, he's number 5.

Doing drills. (I don't know what the kid in
the middle is doing.)


Taking a break!
