?????

Actually, I already know the answer. I am!! Child #4, here we come! I'm not sure when I'm due yet, but my somewhat educated case, (only from being pregnant 3 times before), would be end of August/ beginning of September. We're really thrilled and we're hoping for a boy. One, because we want Branson to have a brother, and two, I'm not sick like it was with the girls. I'm only tired. Wish us luck!!

What was that???

Since moving into our house, Brandon & I have become a little bit lazy. It's a two story house and there's a railing that is upstairs that opens up the house a bit. Anyway, we've been throwing things up there, instead of taking like 20 trips up the stairs. Then we can go up once and put everything away. Anyway, on Sunday, Brandon lost a muscle or something and didn't quite make the throw far enough to have my high heel make it past the railing. While I was looking down,(thank goodness) the high heel landed on my head and gave me a bump about 1 1/2 in. in length. The good news is that you can't see it too well because it's hidden by hair. I think Brandon is happy because then there'd be too many questions and then he'd feel bad. Maybe once I can find my little cord thingamajigger that will transfer pics from my camera to my computer, I can show you my head. What a headache!!!

We moved to....

Queen Creek! Can you believe that? I guess I forgot to mention in my last post where we moved to. My sis and her family are moving out here as well and they'll be like 5 minutes from us. I'm real excited for that.

We're still alive!!

I hope that everyone is sitting down while reading this since I'm actually writing a post. (Actually, I'm sure everyone is sitting down because they're at a computer) Anyway, life has been EXTREMELY hectic lately! In case people didn't know, we have moved! So since July (which is also been our last post before this one), we've been busy getting ready and packing and all that fun stuff, plus throw in a vacation for the kids and me and that is why I haven't been posting. My goal is to be unpacked by the end of the year, and for those of you laughing, it's not funny! It's real hard trying to unpack with three kids! Especially with Branson because he is not quite adjusted to the move I think. There will be more to come although I can't say when the next time will be!!!

New Header

Thanks to my awesome bro-in-law, we have a nice Header! I'm glad I don't have a mark on my forehead anymore!

Future Model

Amber and I were at the mall today and had gone into a store to check something out. Next thing I knew, McKenzie was laying on the floor, and some customers were laughing and saying how cute she was. I walked more closely to find McKenzie modeling, just like the lady in the picture. She's gonna make us a ton of money someday!

Almost There!

I appreciate no one laughing right in my face, and thanks to Brandon, the picture looks a lot better!

NOT a computer pro!

Okay, so I really don't know much about computers, except for how to type. I thought I'd be brave and try to change the picture on our header, but as you can plainly see, I just don't know what I'm doing. So until my bro-in-law can come and help, it's gonna look ugly. Please refrain from laughing in my face! Thanks! =)

The Right Princess??

Okay, so I took this quiz, but I don't think it's the right one for me. What do you think?

Well, I'm officially a
Scentsy consultant! If

Outing

Today I took the kids, along with Amber & Camryn, to the mall. Branson needed his 6 month pictures taken, and Camryn needed newborn pictures taken. Branson is smiles 90% of the time he's awake, but when it comes to getting professional pictures taken, he doesn't even come close to smiling. It sure did wear him out though!!



After pictures, we went to Krispy Kremes Doughnuts. YUMMY!! Who do YOU think enjoyed their doughnut more?

Happy Mother's Day!!

I hope all mother's had a great day yesterday! I woke up to a breakfast of biscuits and gravy! YUMMY!!! McKenzie made the gravy practically by herself! The girls showered me with hugs and kisses and lots of "Happy Mother's Day!" I also had a bunch of flowers waiting for me. Brandon surprised me last night with a water massage machine. I love it! When it was time to get ready for church, McKenzie kept saying, "It's not Sunday, it's Mother's Day." It was too cute. Thank you to a wonderful family! I love you!!

Girls' Fun Fund

Say that Title 10 times fast!!!

Okay, so in just a few months, some of my family members are going to CA to visit some relatives. I'll be taking the kids, while Brandon is kicking it here at home. The plan is to take the kids to Disneyland for a day or two, but of course money is real tight, especially with student loan payments being made. So here I am, trying to find ways to earn money so the kids can have a little fun. Does anyone have any ideas or odd jobs that I could do to earn some cash? Perhaps teaching piano lessons, making hair bows, watching a little one, cleaning bathrooms, cleaning kitchens, dusting, etc...

Child #3 Again?

When I first started "blogging", my second post was entitled Child #3 and stated that we were going to be updating our family picture and instead of me just being pregnant with him, he'd actually be in the picture. Anyway, as you can clearly tell, we haven't changed our picture. We got our family picture taken, but we've been so busy, we haven't purchased them yet, so we haven't changed the picture. I hope to do it before the end of the year!! =)

Growing Up TOO Fast!

Okay, so Branson is growing too fast. He's 6 months old and here's what's been happening since 4 months. He got his first two teeth at 4 months. He started rolling at 4 months tummy to back and back to tummy. At 5 months, he started rice cereal. His top two teeth are almost here. You can almost feel them. At 6 months, he started baby food. He also started crawling at 6 months AND he's pulling himself up. YIKES!! He's going to be walking real soon! Watch out girls! We just love having Branson in our family. He' such a blessing. The girls just love him and they love playing with him. Here are some pictures of Branson from birth to 6 months! Enjoy!

HELP!!!!!!!!!

My girls have way too many stuffed animals, baby dolls, teddy bears, etc..... Where do I put them?? Any ideas??? I need help!!!!

A Family Fun Day

In our house, we don't get many days to just have fun as a family. We decided to do it and we had such a blast. We went to Superstition Springs mall to ride the new carousel, but of course, it wasn't opening until the week after. The girls wanted to run around outside in the amphitheater and that was real fun. After lunch, we ended up going to see Veggie Tales: The Pirates who don't do anything. We left half an our early from the movie because the girls lost interest. I guess we should have seen Alvin and the Chipmunks. Here are some pics from the amphitheater of our girls.

Our little strong man!!!

Branson decided to start exercising at a real young age.
This way, he'll be in the habit by the time he's older.

Mating Ground?!?!?

Okay, so I've noticed that mosquito hawks are everywhere!!! I think they're gross looking, but I've found it grosser to look at them mating! Last Thursday, Brandon, Anjane', Jordan, Amber, and I had the opportunity to witness such a sight right on our screen door. They were there for a couple of hours at least!!! Then, last night, I thought we had a different kind of insect on our screen window, but when I looked a little closer, they were two mosquito hawks going at it AGAIN!!

Cupcakes Anyone??

Savannah LOVES cupcakes!!

I think it's an understatement,

but she was nice enough

to share it with her Aunt!!

Funny Faces

OKAY, SO I'M THINKING THE GIRLS ARE SPENDING A LITTLE TOO MUCH TIME WITH JORDAN!!

Time flies when you're having fun!!

Brandon & I celebrated our 7 yr. wedding anniversary today! Although being a Sunday, we weren't able to go out anywhere, so we went out on Saturday. It's amazing to see how fast time goes by. I love him so much. It seems like yesterday we were married for time and all eternity! Thanks Brandon for asking me to be your wife!!

Testimony

The Sunbeams were given the opening exercises today and McKenzie was asked to share her testimony. Yesterday we asked her some of the things that she believed in and things she thought was true. We helped her with the "format" of the testimony, but it was the things that she believed that were said. She did such a great job! We are so proud of her!

Like Mother, Like Children

Anyone that

has ever taken a

picture of me,

will notice

how I end up

closing one

eye during a

picture. I

guess I have

something against

the flash. Anyway,

I'm thinking it's

genetic, but it gets

worse with every generation!

Zoolander 2?

For those of you who haven't seen Zoolander, Ben Stiller plays a model who uses the same look, but calls it different things. It's quite clear that some people recognize that it's the same, but to Zoolander, it is not. I think Anjane' would make the next perfect Zoolander. Don't you???

GAMES!

Need I say more? Games are a big part of who we are. We love board games to card games to computer games to our Wii games. We play often with the Hiatts and also the Gallups. The picture of the board game is dedicated to Anjane'. This is one of her favorite games and we've NEVER gotten this close at the end of a game when we've played with her!
