Trip to DC

We decided to take a trip to downtown, and by that I mean, Washington, DC. Got half way there and realized that the camera was still in the family room. Grr... Oh well, there will be plenty more trips to come!!! ;o) It is only 20 some miles from our house, but it took close to an hour to get there. Just with traffic and then TRYING to find SOMEPLACE to park. But it was fun! A GREAT day to just walk! We found a parking garage and then walked to go see Abraham Lincoln. Oh, driving to downtown we passed the White House. We pointed it out to Kotah (she was the only one awake!) and I said that's where the president lives. Then she was like oh, like Abraham Lincoln? I said, well, when he was alive he lived there, but he is dead. I said President Obama lives there right now. Thought it was kinda funny! ;o) So we saw Lincoln, the reflecting pool or pond, whichever it is called, and passed MANY museums... There was a police officer riding a HUGE horse, so the kids thought that was WAAAAY cool! We also got to sit at the WWII Memorial and dipped our feet in the water. Can NOT wait to go back! The kids did really good with all the walking we did! Next trip will be FOR SURE taking the camera! SOOOO much history and sooooo many things to see and do here!!!!!!! Can't wait for the next trip!

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&#

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

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!!!!
