Fun Winter Activity

This past weekend we went downtown and walked through the Skywalk.

We enjoy doing this in the winter, as it is a great way to let the children

run and release some energy.

Little J enjoyed watching the cars pass below and

also loved watching the BIG truck down the road.

On the weekends the Skywalk is basically empty.

We usually stop at the middle area where restaurants are open

during the week, but closed on the weekends. 

So we went to the bottom floor and the kids

loved running around.

Daddy of course joined in their fun, 

which the kids greatly enjoy.

We packed a sack lunch with some special treats

and enjoyed eating before we walked back to our vehicle.

It was a nice morning and everyone napped good that afternoon

(even mom!!)

39 Weeks 3 Days

I am quite certain I am the biggest I have ever been

and feeling that way too.

This picture was taken when I was 39 weeks 3 days.

My due date is February 10th and it is looking like I am 

going to make it until then and probably longer.

Besides feeling big and tired at times,

I am doing well overall and so thankful to the Lord

that this pregnancy has gone so well.

We are very excited to meet this little one.

Can't be too much longer....I hope :) 

More Fun in Snow

It was a perfect day for the children to play in the snow.

Almost 50 degrees and sunny - so Daddy took them all out.

They built this fort and then had a snowball fight with daddy.

Purple Girl said that Daddy won because he kept catching their

snowballs and throwing them back at the kids.

They built a snowman too and had a nice time.

SNOW!

The children were more than excited that we received snow this past weekend.

They have been waiting all winter to go sledding, so daddy took them out.

This is the only picture I got because with all the snow, and being almost 39 weeks

pregnant, I did not venture out.  So, this picture was taken from inside.

Busy Bee was outside with them too, but didn't last long,

as it was quite windy and the snow a little too deep for her.

Poor Little J had to stay in with mom.  He was, needless to say,

not happy that he didn't get to go out.

Never Enough Room...

I am blessed to have a few different rocking chairs in rooms in our home.  One of which is in our bedroom where I enjoy having my quiet times in the Word in the mornings.  Daddy usually wakes the children and feeds them breakfast, so I can have this time.  I am very blessed.

However, I often find myself surrounded by a lot of love in the mornings before Daddy gets home from working out.  One by one they often find their way into my room and onto my lap.  I have discovered that my chairs are just not big enough!!

Little J was down the hall in his bedroom yelling "Mommy, Mommy...."

One word:  Blessed!!

Dress Up

Someone always seems to be dressed up in our home.

Of course the older kids love trying to put dress up 

clothes on this little guy.

Hoop...

Our Little J is ALL about playing with balls.  He just loves shooting hoops.  I wish I could play the way he says "hoop" for you all, because it is so cute.  He constantly wants to shoot with his brother or daddy or any one who will.  Even if the hoop is too high and he can't make it, he will try over and over again.
