Belly Paint!

Today, the boys painted my belly! They had fun creating the world...and a heart (located where Keaton will be born). They wrote his name, too. It was a fun experience for all of us....and the baby was moving the whole time.... :) Update: I will be induced on 7/11....unless he decides to come sooner!

Just had to share....

About a month ago, I came across a CUTE, little website called Very Jane. I now get daily emails from them, with their "deals of the day." Lots of things that you can buy through Very Jane are "Etsy-ish" and so cute. Usually, there are great deals and the shipping charges are low as well. It has been fun to purchase a few things here and there....because now, every time I go to the mail box....I wonder if "today's the day" that I will receive something fun! A friend also told me about another site, called Groop Dealz. It's very similar to Very Jane....with darling items, too. Check them out!! I don't think you will be sorry! Happy shopping! :)

Praise Report!

Just wanted to share that the baby has turned and is head down!! This is a HUGE praise report!! :) Thank you to those of you who have prayed for us!! I am thirty five weeks along today....and we are pretty much ready for baby Keaton to arrive!! I am so excited to hold him...and to see who he looks like. We have prepared K's room...and I hope to post some pics of that soon. His clothes are washed and in his dresser.....the diapers are ready and waiting...and we think we have everything we need to welcome our little guy! :) Bryson and Hudson were both born at 38 1/2 weeks....so I am guessing that Keaton will come on (or around) July 4th or 5th. My birthday is the 5th....and that would be a super fun gift!! :) 

32 Weeks and Counting...

Just a quick update....
I went to the doctor yesterday, and the baby is still breech. He's actually the "worst" type of breech...and the hardest to move. Please pray for us....that the baby would safely turn on his own, or that if he doesn't- Josh and I would have wisdom on whether or not to try the external version, or just opt for the C-section. We still have a month for him to turn....and God can do anything. I just want to mentally be prepared for what lies ahead if he doesn't. We covet your prayers! Thank you, everyone! *On a happier note, this has been an excellent pregnancy....my blood pressure is great...and he is measuring perfectly. I passed my second glucose test and I am feeling good. I am just getting anxious to meet this little dude!! :)*

I have a new email address:

Drop me a line!

4D ultrasound

This past weekend marked 30 weeks!! We took the boys and had a 4D ultrasound done. It was so fun to get a sneak peek at the baby!! He is breech right now, so we are praying he turns by 36 weeks! I can't decide who he looks like, and we have heard that he looks like : Bryson, Hudson, Josh, and me...haha!! What do you think?!

Can't Complain....

I am SO HORRIBLE at keeping with up with my blog these days!

I just wanted to check in really quick to say..."hi!" I hope you all are doing well. Here are a few, quick updates....

My pregnancy is going well. I am a little over 26 weeks along now and I am feeling pretty darn good. The baby kicks a lot and every time he does, I have vowed to thank God for the life that is growing inside of me. I have always thought/known that "life" is a miracle...but this time around, I am more in awe than the times before this! I don't know why (age....maturity?)....but I watch my belly move and I can't quite grasp that there is a little human inside of me. God is truly amazing and I am thankful that He has given me the task of being a mom to THREE boys (okay...almost three)! I wonder what this little guy's personality will be like....I wonder who he will look like.....and I wonder what the Lord's plan is for his life. I am excited to see everything "unfold!"

Homeschooling is going well...and we are almost done with our first year. I really can't believe it. This year has gone by so quickly. There are some things that I have wanted to do with the boys- that I haven't done......but overall, we have accomplished a lot. The boys have finished lots of their curriculum and we are ahead in most subjects. Bryson will be tested next month, and I am a little nervous about that. I know his scores will be a reflection of what he has- or has not- learned this year. Hudson is reading well....and it's so much fun to see the growth from Sept. until now! Bryson loves science and doing experiments and various projects. :) The boys loved their art classes and are now taking piano lessons. Bryson LOVES piano (so far) and enjoys practicing. He has memorized several of his songs and he seems to pick up on some songs just by hearing them. Bryson actually taught his little bro one of their songs...and he did a better job than I did! :)

Josh is working a ton and is running his contracting business (Protex) on his own now! If you need any home remodels...construction....landscaping done- please call him!! :) You can email me for his cell number. Anyhow, Josh is working closer to home now...and that has been nice for family dinner time. These days, Josh does very little photography....but I am hoping that when #3 shows up...he will break out the BIG camera and start shooting away! :) It has been fun to see how the Lord has blessed Josh with many different talents and giftings. He is an "artist" and a contractor! Who would have thought??

These little updates are just to give you a small peek at what we have been up to! I can't complain.....the Lord is good to us. There has been (and there will continue to be) lots of change happening around here. We are excited to meet our little Keaton...and we are also excited for summertime! We love the warmer weather...and we even made it to the beach last week, over our Easter break. I love the longer days...and I love listening to the boys play outside. We have MUCH to be thankful for.... :) I really can't complain!
