BABY #4 Due June 13, 2012

Our 6th Anniversary

Nathan and I celebrated 6 years of marriage over the weekend. We weren't sure we would be able to go out at first because of stake conference that night, but at last minute a babysiter was had. Nathan came home from school and then I took the kids over to the babysitters house. When I came back Nathan had made me a lovley dinner. We enjoyed our dinner in peace and candle light. Then there on the table hidding under a napkin was a gift for me from Nathan. It was a card, chocolate, and a fresh water pearl necklace from Dillards. I LOVE IT needless to say and wore it out that night on our date. We decided to go have some fun and check out Dave and Busters. We played games and won tickets which we traded in for sunglasses and a mug. Nathan won most of our tickets for us. I wasn't very good. Afterwards we went to Mcdonalds for chocolate shakes. Yum. Normally we would have cheesecake factory but neither of us felt like cheesecake. Next door was walmart so we went in to get a movie, but there was nothing. So we picked up the kids and came home. After putting the kids to bed we spent the rest of the night together in continued peace with a movie. How blessed we are to have a family and each other to share this life with and be sealed for time and all eternity so we can be together in the heavens also.

So Much to DO so little TIME

It seems to be that I wanted to Blog as a type of journal for me and yet I never seem to make the time to do it still. Good thing I have a good camera and do scrapbook or I might never remember anything our family has done. Well here are some of the recent highlights of our family times.
We spent June and the first week of July in Utah. Nathan worked for his brother. Then, we went on an RV trip for a week with Nathan's family. We celebrated summer birthdays with everyone. Later on Nathan and Matthew's actual birthdays we celebrated even more. While waiting for the new school year to start we took the kids to theme parks and the zoo. They got passes to the theme parks for doing the summer reading program. Then, school started. Matthew went into 2nd grade and Elaine started Kindergarden. Nancy is enjoying her 2 1/2 hrs of single attention while Elaine and Matthew are gone. I try to get her to take her nap since Elaine does afternoon class. Nathan has also begun another semester in his Master's program and teaching. In September we celebrated Elaine's birthday. Our car it 200,000 miles. Oh and Matthew fell at school and broke his arm near his elbow. He just got his 2nd cast off. He wore the first one for 2 weeks and had to put a second one on for 2 weeks. We went to our first MLB game and watched the Colorado Rockys play the Giants. It was lots of fun....especially because a friend from church gave us the tickets and they were CLUB seats. Awesome! The past months also included going to the Peach Festival, Lafayette Days, Ward Pool party, and Nathan's plant hobbie began. Well my birthday came in October and now the seasons are a changing! I actually turned on the heater last night. Time to take the AC units out of the windows. Nancy got to have a fun play date with her friend Adam at the WOW museum last week also. Good times. Coming up we have baptisms to attend for people at church, I am throwing a bridal shower, and 2 babyshowers, plus attending another babyshower. Halloween is coming and Super Saturday! Yea.
