Missing Teeny

For the past two weeks, Teeny has been in Alabama spending time with her Granny and Grumpa. Her three cousins are there with her too. She has been having a blast feeding the pigs and chickens, collecting eggs, playing with the puppies and kitties, and all that fun stuff. She has been roasting marshmallows and hot dogs, sleeping in a tent, watching movies, playing on the slip and slide, and hanging out with her cousins. While we are very grateful that she is having so much fun and enjoying her time there, we are missing her terribly. I almost drove out there last week to go and see her because I was missing her so much.
Instead, the kids are staying until next Thursday, but I will be there on Monday and will be bringing all the kids back. I am leaving Sunday after church and driving to Arkansas to visit with my best friend from high school. She is letting Monster and me stay over night, and then on Monday we will drive the rest of the way to Alabama. I am very excited to see Teeny and to be out there. I have only been to their house once about a year and a half ago. I also think Monster will have fun. He loves to be outside and around animals. I think this will perfect for him.
Although, I have been missing my little Teeny, I have enjoyed being able to spend time with just Noah, and I think it has been good for him, too. I have also been able to get quite a few things done. I got some more decorative things put up in the house. I have finished putting the kids' room together. I bought curtains for the living room and Toby helped me put them up. I worked on one of my Heritage Makers projects and some family presents. I have also been working on ideas for activities and fun things to do with the kids when Teeny gets home. And, I have been able to get lots of sleep.

Friends' Birthday

Image
In June, we were invited to a birthday party for twin girls who are Tink's friends from church. They have a big family and most of them live around here, so they had a big party and BBQ at the park. The kids (big and small ;) had a great time! They played a fabulous version of Duck, Duck, Goose! The person who was it carried around a pail of water. When they said Duck, they would sprinkle a little water on the person, but when they said Goose, they would dump the entire bucket of water on the person. It was hilarious to watch! The girl getting the water dumped on her head has the same name as one of my daughters. I just love the expression on her face. Priceless! Tink was laughing so hard when she got to dump the water on a big kid's head. I wish you could see her face. It was awesome. Tink eating a hot dog Skinja playing on the giant slip n slide

Pictures of the Belly....FINALLY!!!

Image
Okay, so now that we are 38 1/2 weeks along (as of the date of the pictures), we finally got some pictures of the baby bump....well, it's more of a baby mountain, I think, but at any rate, here they are. Enjoy! See what I mean--it's huge! ;) It's like a little seat for Mya. Here are some new pictures of the cute little booger. She just keeps growing and learning new words. She speaks in sentences and climbs on everything. She loves to brush her teeth and wash her hands. And, inevitably, she has learned the word NO. Sometimes it drives me nuts because she says it no matter what you ask her and no matter if she really does want something or not. I know that all kids are like that, but I kept hoping she wouldn't learn it. Oh well! C'est la vie! :) She learned this from her daddy! :) A cute picture of daddy and daughter at a Primary activity. We bought her a tricycle, and she absolutely loves it! It is a little big, but she can grow into it. Plus, it is adjustable for ...
