Where have I been???

Wow, are you kidding me, 6 months since I've posted anything!!!
Yeah, it's nuts!!! Oh well, here goes nothing.
Here's the short version, maybe:)

We moved into a new house May 1st, and we are LOVING it!! We added lots of square footage for our growing family(in 6 weeks), and we're on an acre, so lots of room for fun stuff, like badminton(one of my faves). The boys are outside, running with the dog, throwing the frisbee, kicking the soccer ball around, or just playing trucks in the dirt. There are six horses next door that come around once a day and the boys love looking at and petting them. It's also really neat to be able to see a handful of hummingbirds everyday come and drink from our feeder. It reminds me of vacations our family used to take to Colorado (good times). I love it also because Jonathan grills out about twice a week(it's always yummy)!!! I think the move has really been good for the happiness, togetherness, and calmness that it brings, all that to say, yay!

I can't believe I only have 6 weeks until our new addition is here, and this time, IT'S A GIRL!!
It's pretty funny when I try to show Jonathan baby clothes, he doesn't know what to say, it's pretty cute:) It's gonna be fun!! and different!!

The boys are out of school for summer and it's hard to believe they're officially in 2nd grade and 1st grade!! I'll never like these milestones where they get older and more independent from me. It's a love/hate relationship.

Caleb is growing up and it's fun to see his personality coming through. He's a happy kid and a pretty chill child. It's fun to see all 3 of the boys giggle at each other and enjoy each other (warms a Momma's heart). What will the dynamic be when you add one more? Time will tell, I can't wait!

For now, this is all, more to come, before 6 months, lol!
Until next time...

Nathan, the BIG 7!!

It's crazy to think my oldest is now 7 years old!! He's halfway to a teenager! He's slowly turning into an actual kid not a little kid. What I mean is, you can see that slight attitude come out on occasion. He is growing up and taking it all in, from kids at school and the playground, etc. If only I could keep him in a little bubble, but I guess it's life. From what I hear, it only gets worse.
For his birthday this year, Jonathan and I decided to get Nathan a snowboard. I can't wait to see him going down the mountain! He's really excited, he's never done it before and I think he'll do well, we shall see though:) Just no broken bones!!
Grandma & Grandpa, and Granny & Papa sent gifts through the mail. He had a hard time waiting 2 and 3 days to open them. The anticipation was killing him, but patience is a virtue. We all love getting packages in the mail, it's like a little bit of home and it's nice to know people are thinking of ya.
For Nathan's birthday we went and played mini-golf, it was indoor, with black lights. We had a good time and we all were pretty awful. The course was pretty tough. The boys told me I was the worst on the team. I told them, "yeah, but I'm the best girl on the team." They agreed.
After golfing, we asked Nathan where he wanted to go for his birthday meal, he could choose anywhere at all. His choice, McDonald's, he said, "I'll get to get 2 more presents (the toy in the happy meal, and being able to play in the playland." He's easy to please!

Caleb didn't know what was going on, but he absolutely loved the balloons.
So, here's to another year older, Nathan, we love you!!
