Chris and Jenni

We had a fun weekend! Saturday morning we started out the day at the “Pumpkin Pitch” watching these amazing machines flinging pumpkins across the field.

Then we dropped the girls off for a few hours at Nana and Papa’s while we took the boys on the Deception Pass Tour, kind of an early birthday present for […]

Today, in honor of having only six weeks left of this pregnancy, I’m going to do a contest and giveaway. Here’s how it will work:
You guess the date the baby will be born and include a time of day. The closest one to the right time gets the prize! How fun, and you might guess […]

My life has changed dramatically in the past couple years. Guenevere just turned 2 1/2 years old, and boy does she give Chris and I a run for our money. She’s a smart one and VERY persistent. When the boys were her age they didn’t really have much interest in drawing, in fact, Eamon still […]

As of today we have 42 days until our “due date,” six more weeks! I have one more appointment with my midwife in two weeks and then I start seeing her every week. Yeah! I’m getting so close!

Every time we have a new baby I like to make some kind of count down to the […]

Today we had our second homeschool co-op, it went great. I think we are starting to work out the bugs. I’m pretty sure that Aidan’s favorite part is gymnastics, although he really seems to enjoy his Mexican class where they are learning some Spanish as well as several different cultural things and then they end […]

As if I needed any “encouragement” at this season in my life. This morning Guenna noticed that Cait has a little nose, “you have a little nose Cait!” The kids began comparing nose sizes. Eamon, politely instructing his sister, stretched his arm out and pointed at mommy, “she has the biggest nose.” Though I wanted […]

We are a little bummed that we wont be attending church tomorrow, because our little Cait had Hand Foot and Mouth this week and we are not wanting to expose anyone if she is still contagious, but I do want to say that she is doing MUCH better, it’s so nice to have our happy […]

For those of you who have taught your children at home, or really anyone whom might have had experience in this area. I’ve started Aidan these past few weeks with some more consistent letter writing practice and have noticed that he is really wanting to be left-handed. I may be old school but I really […]

Cait looks pretty happy to be eating a donut in this picture, that was Saturday. Sunday was the beginning of a whole new adventure for her. Sunday afternoon we realized that the reason why Cait had been so crabby off and on the past few days was because she had Hand Foot and Mouth Disease.  […]

Here’s the baby, he’s getting bigger and I’m getting “readier” to have him out! It’s been a challenging pregnancy, I would say probably the most challenging of all five (it seems weird to say that, I feel like I’m too young to be pregnant with my fifth child :) I was 32 weeks pregnant on […]

 
On Chris’ day off, Labor Day. He worked on finishing up these wonderful shelves for our bedroom. I LOVE them! In fact, I like them so much, they make me want to do laundry! What more could you ask for?!   He must have  done some wire switching in my brain when he built these because […]

I’ve been meaning to post another preschool craft. I skipped last week because I didn’t do one last week. I was in organize mode last week and that was my focus, so now that my life is a little back to “normal” I feel like I can be a little more creative this week. Plus, […]

I’ve been meaning to post some pictures of our finished projects but it just hasn’t happened, probably later this week :) We had our first Homeschool Co-op today and it went really well.
The kids all had a gymnastics class, a singing time, the older ones had a missions class on Mexico and the younger ones […]
