Because I'm Silly

When Noah was born, he happend to be born on the 24th of June. My Birthday is on the 24th of March. Micah was born on the 29th of April, John was born on the 29th of December. So when Deeken was born on the 18th of September, I really hoped that Josie would be born on August 18th. I wanted them to share the same day just on different months. Well, today is the 18th of August, and as you can tell my brillant plans didn't work out. I thought that I would have to be sitting in a crouch and running up and down stairs to be getting my water to break by now. How different things have turned out, I am so grateful that things turned out the way they did. There are so many blessings to count, especially that she is here safe and healthy.
P.S. This guy looks bigger everyday. We have taken to calling him

"The Moose."

Fun in the Sun with Dad

Spokane Aquatic Center

John had an idea and acted on it. Even though I thought he was minorly crazy thinking he could take our three older kids, and go to a rather large pool with slides, all by himself. I did hang out on the sidelines for a while, but he did amazing job with them all by himself. It made me wonder why I struggle so much with them when I am by myself. The kids had a great time, and can't wait to go back. I won't be brave enough to go by myself, so we will have to wait till

"SUPER DADDY" has another day off!

Thursday

TWO WEEKS!

Time is flying! I can't believe that two weeks have passed! John says that Josie is now full term(37 weeks). All I know is she is gaining weight and is beautiful. For her two week birthday, we gave her her first bath. Yes, it was done in a sink. She is little, but it was a little tight. She enjoyed it, mostly, but doesn't like being cold.
I love this little fuzzy head! Even though when I was kissing her today, she gave me my first spit up kiss! YUCKY!

Tuesday

Shucking Corn

My kids don't always like chores I ask them to do, but for some odd reason when it comes to shucking corn they are always willing to help.
