What Now?

Well, having four kids, 4 years and under has really been a growing experience. However, now we are contemplating adoption for the 20 month old. Talk about being in a whirlwind. My mom pointed out to me the reason I am having such a struggle with this decision. She say's it's because I have the choice to either keep her or not. Most people already were seeking another child or have no other option. (Like they get pregnant or something) What is best for us, her, her sister and her eternity? I don't know. We will keep considering all the options, but I know I will figure it out. Whatever the outcome, I hope it will be the best for everyone.

New Additions to the Household

Well, two weeks ago we found out that my cousins kids would be coming to live with us. A teenager and a one year old! It sure has put a twist in our life, but it is a good one. For those of you who have been waiting for more posts, let me catch my breath. Four kids ages, 4, 2, 1, and 8 months is really busy. Trying to keep a teenager busy is even more busy. Once, the kids stop being sick and I get the teenager registered for high school, I hope life will settle down and I can do some more blogging. For all you mothers who raised big families, how do you keep a clean house and when did you ever sleep? This is insane.

THANK YOU TO MY EDITOR

Well, I just have to say thank you to my new editor. I love the way she fixed my blog. It is everything I dreamed of and a little more. For those of you who don't have a personal editor, I highly recommend it.

THE BIG DIFF

Okay, so I was getting out some plates for lunch yesterday and I had to laugh. Will and I are so different. Look at how he put away the plates and the cups...well that's more like me. So then I had to take a picture of our shelves in the cupboard. (I just cleaned mine, but Will's looks like that always) No wonder I drive him crazy.

Halloween

Then the next night I took the kids to a Trunk or Treat at the church. Everyone loved Ila's Pea in the Pod costume. To top it off, the whole family went trick or treating and to our friends Halloween party. We had a great Holiday this year.

Halloween

Halloween was really fun this year. First Will and I carved pumkins with kids. Jonas played with the guts and Cora just wanted her hands cleaned. Ila just loved watching everything and being on counter. Will, on the other hand was taking this serious and kept telling me I needed to clean the pumkin better. LOL

Cute Kitties

How Darling!
The neighbor brought over a basket of kittens. I wanted one so bad. Good thing I love Will and I didn't push my luck. I sure loved the calico.

Yard Progress

Well, now we have less dirt. No, we didn't get grass in the backyard. We had our very nice neighbor spread rock on the side of the house to park our ghetto trailer and get Pepper out of the dirt. Check out "Memo". You guys should really hire him. Final pictures coming soon.

Cora's Birthday

We had a great day!

More and More yard Work

It has been a busy month. We have been recovering from our travels and I started substitute teaching again. I also picked up an in home data entry job and Will has been working a ton of over time. We still have the ward trunk or treat and Halloween. However, earlier in the month I was able to con "Memo" (Will) into some more yard work. He is so inventive. He moved boulders with his car jack. We spread some compost and planted my favorite tree...a Red River Birch. (Thanks Mom) Look at all those pots...my Dad brought them all to us full of compost.
