Yard Work

Now that spring is finally here, we are getting some yard work done. Russell rented a tractor last week, during his and the kids' Spring Break, and got our top soil spread out. The kids really had fun "driving" the tractor with him.

Then Saturday, we spent most of the afternoon raking the back yard. The kids had fun using their own tools, and Kenyon had a ball putting rocks in the wheel barrow. We hope to plant some grass by this weekend, but I guess that depends on the weather (we got about 2 inches of snow yesterday, and since it was so cold it took most of today for it to melt).

Egg Decorating

I finally found my connector to download my pictures from my phone, so now I can post pictures again. We decorated Easter Eggs with my family, and some of Charlotte's friends, on Sunday March 16. Kenyon slept through the whole thing, but Kyler and Kaylee had lots of fun.

I don't know where she gets it from, but the only color Kaylee wanted to use was pink, so she had four pink Easter Eggs. Sometimes I wonder if she does it just to bug me, but that is what kids are supposed to do right?

Kyler had almost as much fun organizing his eggs as he did coloring them, that I know he gets from me.

Big News!

Well I guess I will make it official and post it on our blog. We are expecting another baby! My current due date is September 6, but I expect it to be moved up when we have the ultrasound. All of the other kids were moved up and then came early, which was good since I was having contractions for weeks to a month before. Anyway, I'm expecting that it will in late August. I am feeling pretty good now, but for a couple months there I wasn't doing too great. I'm glad that part is over. Anyway, we are pretty excited, especially Kyler and Kaylee. I'm sure Kenyon will enjoy having a baby around too (see the previous posts of him and Rylie). I'm hoping it's a girl because I have a girl name (Evelyn Marie, Evelyn is my mom's middle name and Marie is Russell's grandma's name) and Kaylee needs a little sister, but I'm not convinced it's a girl. We will keep you updated with news as it comes.
