  • Sometimes life just plain gets too busy....I don't like that. 
    Last night was great, our little family of four took time to just play together.  We played Checkers, Mancalla & Memory. Jackson's attention span isn't very long yet and baby Jill is well, just a baby.  Her newest trick is blowing bubbles which we all found to be humorous. I love family time.
    We were to Josh's parents for Thanksgiving and enjoyed lots of good food and fun times.  Although, when you have 13 children with 11 of them under 5 years of age it's loud, to put it mildly.  Jackson had a grand time playing with all his cousins and is now bored out of his mind at home with his middle aged mom.  I tried to stimulate his brain by teaching him how to make a paper chain but he instead used the red paper strips to make a car wash....pretty creative if i must say so myself.  We hung the chain up in his room and I am pretty sure he's going to try to hang on it.  So much for the paper chain.  Maybe we will move on to paper snowflakes, they are my personal favorite.
    I feel sad for my family right now, they all 3 have colds....I'm not sure how I got exempt...or maybe it's yet to come.  Poor baby Jill is suffering from her first cold.  I have always wanted to be a nurse so I do enjoy taking care of them.
    I don't have one Christmas gift purchased yet. I hate the rat race at the stores this time of year. Being 1 in 8.5 million I feel like a dust mite. And besides all that we don't really need anything.
    Well, I must run along...have a blessed day.

  • I would hardly call you middle aged!!!  But my bones feel like that some days, having a baby must add 5 years per child or something. 

    I didn't have aches and pains until after labor

  • that baby jill is a dandy.......mom opened your card to me before i did just to see the pics of --- jill. she claimed she didnt look at the card though see you soon kenryan

  • i think maybe i will try the paper chain thing....the girls would get into that! give jack and baby jill a kiss from us!

  • Thanks to me turning 30 very very soon, I ahve the privilege of getting a whole day of shopping in BY MYSELF! Which should wrap up our christmas shopping totally since it's just the kids deal this year. Weldon and i are going to be grown-up about the whole thing and skip the gifts. Noble, i know. I love Memory--seriously one of my favs!!

  • If you are middle age I guess that means I am too! I don't feel that old yet. Sounds like you are doing great. ttyl Ang

  • Tonya, hi. Yeah it was very fun at Kennys. Had to go to some family gatherings though... it all turned out alright=) I didnt get started much on my Christmas shopping either, and such as you its cause I am to busy! I can not wait for things to slow down. I saw the picture of Jill also, so cute! Wow her hair. I am excited for Christmas to... but a little tore up cause my family is going to be all together and they REALLY want me here to.... Dont know what to do! Alright.... Joy

  • my husbands hair is really easy to cut it doesn't knick easily, and zebbie's is the same way. which  is nice.  I'm feeling pretty good, getting ready for the baby, I am very excited, however i am sure not wishing away my freedom, i am sure baby #2 ties you down quite a bit more.

  • The lighting, I have no idea if it's even ok.  i just set up close to a window.   I had to darken the pictures alittle cause the black material always looks so light
