Jackson's Debut

Jackson is three months old and is the sweetest baby....just look!

Hershey Park

We went on a short day trip to Hershey Pennsylvania to the chocolate factory when my dad came to visit. Here are some good pics!

Sweet Maddie...she was sick and she threw up right when we got there. We had to buy here a Hershey shirt to wear.

Kenzie and Preston had a great time!

The kids got to package some Hershey Kisses and pretend to be factory workers

Cute Family...January 2009

It's A Boy!!!!!

We had our ultrasound yesterday, and it was great!! There was no question as to the sex of the baby. He was very cooperative. They did find a couple of potential problems, so they are sending me to a high-risk doctor just for a precaution. They don't anticipate it to be serious, but I appreciate the extra opinions. The names we have narrowed it down to are Jackson (my favorite), Owen, and Ethan. What do you think??

Dear friends and family,
A quick announcement: We are expecting baby #4 in July!!! We found out yesterday and we are so excited! (shocked, rather). I am fourteen weeks along, which means that Maddie and this new one will be fourteen months apart. I guess if the Lord wants you to have it, you'll get it. No, this was not planned, and yes, I am nervous because it will be hard. I started to show this week, so there is no hiding it from anyone...you basically found out when we did!

sick of sick

I haven't posted for a while, but I have a good reason. I've been sick over a month and have been on four different anti-biotics. My infection is gone, but I am still sick. The kids are doing great. Makenzie will star in her first grade play tonight and she is loving every minute of it. She gets 100% on all her tests and work. She's soo smart! She loves to read. Preston is enjoying pre-school most days. He's our difficult one right now. Always testing his limits. We love him anyway. Maddie is seven months old and can sit and play with toys for hours. She is a very sweet and happy baby. We do love our Maddie. We're decorated for Christmas and waiting for winter break...all three kids at home. Hmmmm.

Halloween 2008

This year we took our kids to the Old McDonalds pumpkin patch. There were hay rides, a corn maze, small petting farm, live local music, a playground, pumpkins, everything. We had so much fun! Here are several pics from our fun day.
