Our backyard friends!

We started out with 2 turkeys a few weeks ago. The kids named them Dora and Kilan....This morning there were 15 hens and this evening 4 toms. The kids are loving it. Looks like we won't have any problems having a turkey on our table for Thanksgiving this year :)

Chocolate Bouquet

A chocolate Bouquet I made tonight. Another thing I found to make with my chocolates!

Brylee's fieldtrip

Brylee's preschool went on a fieldtrip today. I got to take her and Josh kept Hunter. We went to Hozak farm and they got to go on a hay ride, a hike, pumpkin patch, and a maze. She had a lot of fun. She was very timid around everybody which suprised me cause she is so energetic at home. But she really enjoys her teachers and playing with her friends. Here are a few pictures from the day!

First day of school!

Its been awhile since I've posted anything. We are in the new house getting settled and the kids have started school. I will try and get more pictures of the house up as soon as I take some. But here are some of the girls on their first day of school! Oh and I added one of Hunter and Brylee playing dress up...yes I am going to start buying some boy costumes after Halloween!

After a day of dress up and no nap, we found Hunter crashed out downstairs, so we had to take a picture. Definitely a well rounded boy!

Trip to Pennsylvania

A few pictures of the kids in the car. We have put over 16,000 miles on the van since April. Once we get in the new house, I don't think we are going anywhere for quite awhile.

On our way out to Pennsylvania we made a stop at Jordan and Sara's. We had a bon fire one night and roasted smores...so yummy!

While in Louisville we also got to see aunt Ashley.

Tons of hours in the car and they still have beautiful smiles on their faces!


Our new house!

MOVING...Again!

If life hasn't been crazy enough with a move to TX, it has become even more crazy. As I posted back in May we did move to TX. Just to confuse everyone even more, we are now moving to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Josh was given a great opportunity to move to PA, that we couldn't pass up. After praying about it and talking thru it together as a family, we decided to go ahead and take the transfer. We are now here looking for a house and checking out schools. God is definetly continuely teaching us to trust Him. I'm just trying to keep Him as my focus, for peace in this crazy time. Please keep us in prayer as we are getting settled again. Josh's first day will be August 17th, so we will be heading out here the week before. I will keep everyone posted as I know more.

For the 4th of July we headed to St. Louis for the weekend. Everyone came home, so it was a lot of fun seeing everyone. The kids had a great time. They play very well together.

Keirsten, Elyssa, Hunter and Brylee helping getting the table ready for dinner. They carried in outside together. They didn't have any help from the adults...I think they will be trouble in a few years.
