This is our Bryson. He looks and acts very innocent. But looks can be decieving. This picture on the right is his head after he had 2 staples put in.

It is Sunday afternoon and the Home Teachers had just got to our house. Bryson was so active all day but when they got here he got really active. He was jumping around and as I walked into the room he went down onto the concrete hearth of the fireplace. They said it was up to us if we wanted to put the staples in-but as a mother of this very active boy I decided to get them put in to keep all the little boy junk out of the wound.

They will be in his head for 7 days at which point the doctor gave Jason the staple remover to take them out. We will see how that goes next week.

This is Alex. Alex is missing a tooth at 4 years old. Alex was playing one day and got hit in the mouth. He told us it was hurting but we already had dentist appointments so I decided that we would just want a few weeks until the appointments.

Well we went and it was infected. The dentist said we could leave it and try and save it but it might not work, and risk the infection going up into the permenant tooth. Or we could pull it out. We choose to have it pulled. So in one day Alex had 2 cavities filled, and a tooth pulled. When asked if he still likes the dentist he replied, "Of course." We love our Alex.

So I finally became somewhat creative with my blog. I even have a picture on my profile. Well We are going to try to show you some pictures of the baby. Here is little(big) Isaac. Sorry his hands are in his face but here you are. Jason is feeling left out because I no longer need him to show me how to do these things. I love you anyway.

Well summer is well under way at our house and the first week was anything but calm. But we haven't had any accidents yet. The kids are all over the place and enjoying a lot of time outside. Alex has collected quite the collection of many snails(yuck!) but they have since lost their lives(how sad). The boys (all of them) managed to kill the fish from the fish tank so I had to restock the tank last week. It started out as cleaning the fish tank and the twins were fishing for the fish in the bucket while I went out to clean the tank. The older boys came in to see what was going on and continued to join them in the fun. And the fish didn't survive. One might have but he got the flush anyway.

Brinley is just Brinley. She always has a book in her hands. She is having a hard time because her best friend(adopted sister) Drew is in Arizona all summer long and she doesn't know what to do with her time.

Jason and I toke the kids to Chuck E. Cheese on Friday and we are planning on doing little things at last once a week with the children this summer. Which is fun for the children since Jason has not been able to do alot with them. They had a great time. Other than Dad got to hold the little one the whole time. Which he doesn't seem to care. I like the break.

So this is just the beginning to our summer.

So here I am...finally. Isaac is 2 months old today and a heavy 14 pounds. Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to updating all of you who check up on us. Isaac was born on 3/3/09--square root day for all of you crazy birthday people. He weighed in at a wonderful 9 pounds 4 ounces and was born at 7:34pm. He has dark hair and blue eyes (I am trying to get someone to help with pictures). We love him and he is great. Loves to smile and is starting to coo at us at home. He had RSV at 3 weeks. No hospitalization was needed; just a few cleanings of the nose at the hospital and we were good to go. The children love him a little too much. The first few days at home I felt like I had vultures on my shoulders all the time. They contiue to fight over who is sitting by him in the car, the usual sibiling rivilary.

On to other things. We have finished two major remodeling projects: a bathroom and a bedroom. Both of which we totally gutted. They look much better and we are enjoying the added space in the bathroom. Hopefully, we won't have any more problems now that they are done. We had just sheetrocked the bedroom downstairs to find that they boys had jumped on the washed drain pipe and snaped it causing the washer to drain into the bedroom, and that is just one of the things that happened during this remodeling job --Life is never dull at our house. So if you need something exciting, come on over, we can share.

William flooded the kitchen with the kitchen sink sprayer, and smashed Alex's finger in the door last night before bed--can life get anymore exciting?

Well here we are, for those of you checking my wonderful blog(ha, ha, ha). We are on the countdown here at our house. The baby will be coming on Monday, March 2nd if he hasn't made it here before then. So yes, we are all very excited and awaiting his arrival. But in the meantime we are trying to get everyone better. Jason went to the doctor on Sunday to find that he has pneumonia. Which he has apparently had for 3 weeks. So he has started his medicine and hopefully will be feeling much better before the baby gets here. Brinley is hopefully getting better. She has had a cough for about 6 weeks, and has thankfully passed it through all the children. Well that is about it for now and we will keep you posted with the baby news and if you are lucky I might learn how to post some pictures of the handsome guy when he gets here.

Wow where does the time go? I can't believe we are already well into December. I have to see that our Christmas shopping is close to almost done, and I can't say that I am excited about that. We have one tree up and the children keep asking when the other one is going up,( it is their tree, that they decorate, with their ornaments)and I honestly can't say that I am excited about doing another tree, but it is something that they are excited about so I guess that means I need to do it for them if nothing else.

Well we had another exciting happening in the family. Alexander has finally made his debut at the InstaCare. We had a piece of glass under the living room sofa and Alex slipped his foot under and sliced his little toe open--he had 5 stitches. That was exciting.

Jason and I will celebrate our 10 years of marriage this next weekend on the 19th. We did have family pictures taken so as soon as I can figure things out I will post some of those. But other than that we really are all doing great and looking forward to Christmas. We wish all of you a Merry Christmas and hope that all is well during the Holiday season.
