Baby Liam

Yesterday I got the privilege to watch Liam for the day. OH he was so cute and so easy. Reminded me of how easy Logan was. I am hoping my next one is this easy. The kids were so excited for him to come. Brooklyn ate her breakfast by the front window waiting for Tim and the minute he pulled in she was done eating... this picture is Logan's diaper and Liam's diaper. It was so weird to change such a little boys diaper. I guess I better get used to it right???
I never had so many visitors come to see me...Or Liam. Deb, Sonia and Pam came for a little bit during the day. The picture Liam is talking and smiling at the ladies. Pam is on the computer ordering me a new camera.. Yea thanks Pam!!

Brooklyn only got to see Liam for a little bit in the morning before Jess got up to steal him away so she had him the minute she got home from school. When Tim came around 5ish we kicked him back out and told him to go and find something to do since we were not done with him yet. Jen came about 7:00 to get him. :( Thanks Tim and Jen for the pleasure of watching him..anytime!!

This is how I found Jess and Liam when I got back from the bus stop. Jess Loves babies also. she thought she could take him to school or just not go to school.. Yea right on exam week...?? wishful thinking.

Logan liked him for about 1 minute. I just got done changing Liam and I walked into the bathroom to dump the diaper and come back to Logan trying to pick him up..AAAAAAA I guess I need to remember this. We told him no touching the baby after that... and he said "bit I want to hold him too" so cute. Logan woke up this morning asking where the baby went. He couldn't figure it out since he went to bed and the baby was here and then this morning he's gone. He was so funny in the morning too, Mike walked by him and he goes " Baby, Baby(remember he calls Mike baby) look mommy found this baby" we just cracked up laughing, only Logan would say something like that.

I hope you all enjoyed a little glimpse of my showing off someone else's baby. Again, thanks Tim and Jen. Mike and I go to the doctor today to find out what we are having.. YIKES! Mike is now truly thinking girl... who knows. I cant wait to find out to start shopping!!! :)

Christmas Break

During break Mike had a race at the Delta Plex. So we packed the kids up and went. Logan and Brooklyn still like to go, Jess on the other hand finds it kind of boring and would rather be with her friends??? HMMM does she sound like a 15 year old.(She will be 16 Feb 27, kind of scary) Some of the kids here waiting to throw their balls into a car that drives by, if you get your ball in the window you win a t shirt, One of the triples got it in. Mike raced quite well and won the Top Dog race. He didn't have very good luck the week before, he won the a main but at the Top Dog race he hit some one under caution and they took away ALL of his points for the night away. To say the least we I were not very happy. We are disputing it so hopefully something changes, he would be in first place if they did not take away points and 1st place pay out is $10,000.00. Wouldn't that be nice!!! This was a great race to win since Tressa and Chad, Mike and Amy, Josh and Julie, Brian and Pam, all the regulars and their kids were their to watch. Logan looks kind of goofy here but this was the only picture that wasn't just of one of them, and my camera totally SUCKS!! I am hoping to get a new one next week. (Hint hint Pam)
Brooklyn, Logan and I along with Brian and Pam and Deb and their kids went to the Lodge for a day. Brooklyn actually spend the night with Grandma and Grandpa and Steve and Deb. The weather was great with lots of snow. You would have never thought that since we hardly had any at home. The kids love going here and so do the adults, its such a nice get away. The lodge is my parents winter get away. It used to be a ski resort so the kids have a couple of huge hills to slide down and then someone brings them back up on a snowmobile. The lodge is also used for hunting, my dad has some deer that are fenced in, the kids got to see the "BIG" one. Logan and the ladies usually hang out in the cabin, he is not a big fan of the snow.

And Logan being so content with some toys or a movie. Hopefully my next kid is as easy going as Logan is. Speaking of kid, Mike and I go next week for my 20 week ultrasound to find out... We are so excited but a little nervous. At our last ultrasound everything looked great so I am hoping and praying we get the same results plus find out the sex of the baby. What do you think we will have?

We also celebrated Brooklyn's Birthday on Sunday the 4th with family. Her Birthday is actually January 7 and she turned 10 this year. She thought that was really cool to be double digits. Of course she had a horse cake which was delicious. The Best cake ever. If you ever need to order a cake let me know and I can get you the lady's number, she makes the best cakes. Sorry I do not know how to rotate pictures.Her Birthday fell on a Wednesday so before Gems she opened her presents from Mike and I.

Christmas and New Years

New Years Eve we had a couple of friends over along with their kids. Very low key and nice not to have to get a babysitter or worry about what to wear and all that fun stuff that goes along with going out. Maybe I was just super excited we were staying in since I am pregnant. The kids all had a great time, they played great, decorated cupcakes, some of the girls took a shower..Rylee's favorite thing to do when she is here, and ate lots of junk food--their was plenty of that!! All of us girls sat around the counter almost the whole night...:) The guys either played cards in the garage or as you can see some of the ones that lost played rock band, they were hilarious to watch, they were very into it, the kids knew to just sit back and watch after getting yelled at a couple of times after they were being too loud or they would walk in front of the TV. All in all it was a great night and I think everyone was gone by 12:30 and I went to bed about 1:30 after I cleaned up and vacuumed... Yes for those of you that know me quite well, I cant stand having a dirty house to wake up to, and I love to vacuum!! New Years Day was very low keyed, I cleaned up some more, got caught up some wash and then in the afternoon we went to see Marley and Me. Very good movie. We kind of new what to expect from others, so I thought I would be prepared for the ending but Nope, I still cried. Very good family movie.

The kids decided to make their own rock band. Logan loves to sing and play instruments so we have almost everything. Can you only imagine 7 kids with 7 different instruments in the family room??? YIKES!!

The Older kids and Grandma and Grandpa getting a North Face coat or clothes.

Brooklyn picked out this bag with her name on it, and forgot all about, as you can tell she loved it.

I think every ones favorite gift was Logan's he got a drum set with headphones to sing in. Every time we have people over this is the first thing kids(and adults) go for.
