Heritage Carousel

I decided to get out this morning and take the kids over to the Carousel. I got an e-mail saying that it was buy one get one free there today! Can't beat that huh? ;o) I mean, it is only 50 cents per kid to ride..... So it's not like it was a fortune! :O)
I packed some pb and j and pretzels and some water in a bag and we left. We ate, then took our rides. Kotah started freaking out (you will see in the 1st pic!)!!! She was worried it was going to go too fast! I said it will not go fast. I guess she didn't remember it from last year. Gavin was all smiles and ready to go! Skylar was not to sure what to think! She was happy, yet worried because I was standing next to her, so she had no idea what was going on! Try to explain a carousel to a 20 month old! :O)
It was a bad morning... I knew that they needed to get out! I needed to get out and get some fresh air! Didn't want them in our yard, a little wet and muddy. Although Gavin did get muddy at the park. I was walking back to the van to put our bag of water and trash in the van and Gavin and Kotah we walking in the grass going to the sidewalk to get in line. Gavin ran through the mud!!!! AHH!!!!!!!!! Of course, the one time I don't have any wipes, nothing! So I took them back to the van and got out the water bottle and tissue and cleaned up his leg and flip flop as best as I could! He got it over his back, but not his shorts! Still trying to figure out how that happened! :O)
There was also a lady from Des Moines Register there. She came over and asked me what the "little one's name". I said which one? ;oP She pointed to Skylar, so I gave her the name and her age. She said she got a couple of pic's of her. So... will see if she's in the paper! (of all days to go out with out makeup and looking SOOOO very tired!! OH WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :OP)

Whew...

written 4-7-18 Wow! It's been a while since I"ve blogged...  Crazy fun times around here!  :) We had a BIG EVENT for our church Friday night.  It was awesome!!!  All about where we are and what we need to finance our new church building we are building!  We were to take a card and pray about a number and donate for the building fund.  It was a FANTASTIC awesome night to say the least!!! Curt and I have been praying about a number that God wants us to give.  We both feel a number, we can't afford.  haha...  We really can't afford anything because we still have 2 adoption credit card bills we are paying off.  God has blessed us and given us what we need each month.  But we want to give, and adding it up and looking at our budget and writing it all out, it's not there.  Nothing is there!  But that's the way it was with adoption!  We took that step of faith! So that was Friday...  Saturday morning went to kettle bell class and I died...  I honestly haven&#

Grandma

Grandma passed away this morning at 1:35 am. She had been totally un-responsive for the past couple of days. Yesterday we got a call and said she only had an hour, they said they made the mistake and grandma heard them, so she kept hanging on! Her feet had been cold and almost black, but they were starting to get warm and she was taking more breaths, but still very shallow. Finally she gave in and went home! The family seems to be doing ok, just please keep them in your prayers! The viewing will be Sunday and the funeral on Monday. I am not sure of the times yet, they are meeting with the funeral director in an hour. I am not going to be at the musical practice Monday nite, so Sandy May and Jena R are in charge that nite! I will have the lines assigned so the kids will know what their parts will be! Please help them out this week!!!! Thank you!!!! Thanks again for all of your prayers!!!!

Ultrasound

First of all, thank you ladies for all those sweet comments you made on my last post! How sweet you are for saying those things! Made my day!!! :O) Second, went for the ultrasound on Monday and everything is fine! WHOO HOO!!!!! No more placenta previa!!!! The baby weighs about 2 1/2 lbs, and everything looks good! We took the kids with us so they could see their baby brother/sister, they LOVED it!! Gavin was FULL of questions though! What's that stuff she put on mommy's belly? Why do the lights needs to be off? I only see one eye. Where's the other eye? What was that, is that his hand or leg? Oh my.... ;o) The tech ended up putting up a 4D on the screen, so that was really cool to see! The cord was kinda in the way, but I still think it was awesome! I didn't have that with any of the other kids!!! :O) Maybe the trick is taking 3 other siblings in to see the 4th!!! ;o) I also only gained a pound, which I am trying to figure out, seeings how I pretty m
