So pardon the dust as I try to sort through all the changes and get back on track. It may be a little messy and a little sporadic as I try to figure all this out. In the meantime here are a few pictures of my crew with the newest addition!<img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju9O5ZdZ9imwJCNEENZ8hWnvswMkn4EOPaF7dj58O7WCcHqo_fQ1hcOfCxfPLl5NzpmQzDD74hEy0eafr62nV-JYbjffUDFA-HGNmTno1ADyzaIS62yQApAh3Ejiv7Gir52DeddJCoSFje/s320/McKenzey+sweet+girl+2.jpg" width="320" /></td></tr>

YEAH - except that I need to order books for next year AND get started ASAP on next years school to give myself some "wiggle room" to work with after the baby is born.<br /><br />Which brings up the newest addition coming in July... around the 15th they say, but we have another ultrasound later this month to see the size of our little GIRL! Believe it or not a girl!... I won't believe it - at least until she is born - then I'll believe it! The pregnancy is for SURE the hardest one yet - for me anyway. The baby is doing great! Everything has been progressing with good with the pregnancy. All those annoying pregnancy problems are what is getting me!<br /><br />We've also had another addition in the past few months... Barrett, a golden retriever. After praying for over a year for "the right dog at the right time", Carter had a BIG answer to prayer. I have to say Barrett is the perfect dog for our family. He is patient beyond words with the little ones (and sometimes the big ones too) and can rough-tumble with the big ones! He has definitely helped Wyatt (and my nieces) conquer the fear of dogs. I would have to say that Barrett really is the perfect dog for our family. It was worth the waiting and praying to have him. It has taught Carter about the power of prayer and patience for God's timing.

It was a great Christian farm and we had a great time. There was so much to do on the farm... not just pick pumpkins!<br />They had two old trucks they had converted into "corn kernel boxes". The boys loved digging and loading the kernels. I think they would've played in those all day! They also had a huge haybale fort and a lawnmower train that were a boy's paradise!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMG2mviv1_nFyihA_x8gdM_sHkIa3dAYNT_Erz2egMSrYX-zD1bGq439gd-90G5dSS7PDLN-8z8GKd76BOmAcU4h-F_UVaGdwdJfZWqS7-ftKh9iCznm9IJc5Z-xunp13oTR2Ctc-nb6Jy/s1600-h/pumpkin+farm+.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMG2mviv1_nFyihA_x8gdM_sHkIa3dAYNT_Erz2egMSrYX-zD1bGq439gd-90G5dSS7PDLN-8z8GKd76BOmAcU4h-F_UVaGdwdJfZWqS7-ftKh9iCznm9IJc5Z-xunp13oTR2Ctc-nb6Jy/s400/pumpkin+farm+.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392674426014065762" border="0" /></a><br />Before we headed out to pick our pumpkins the owner of the farm shared a wonderful lesson about how pumpkins grow and how we are to let the light of Jesus shine from us. It made the pumpkin picking experience so much more exciting!

I'm an all or nothing sort of girl!<br />(As evidenced by my eating habits! - Brings up an interesting thought about why people always start a diet on Mondays.. but I'll save that on for another time!)<br /><br />Life has been crazy with moving, soccer games, and babysitting two more PLUS homeschooling Carter and NOW Hayden too it seems (he insists I really wanted to wait on most of it, but he really is into it - so why not!). I must say that I'm really impressed with how good he is picking up on things. We are all getting into a rhythm and some days are better than others.<br /><br /><br />Here's a look at our Pizza night (Chicago-style deep dish pizza) last night. We had a great time and WILL be doing it again. (<a href="http://recipeasy.blogspot.com/">I'll be posting the recipe on my recipe blog if you are interested.</a>)<br />It was alot of fun for everyone and worth the work!<br />Have fun watching Bryan "spin some dough" (I had extras so we made 2 flat pizza crusts to freeze for another night)<br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzq_dmd8kQrysTh-OQcKxn2_gQLChLOXS_auuFOoUxbulxuz_hB_9tC8btsZKvCElmccebIax_wRQN1555ezg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br />I'll try to be better about keeping in touch.

Today was the first day of babysitting for me.. my three boys PLUS my three nieces! Six kids ages 6 - 6 months! It went well... there are things I need to work on, and creative new ideas to keep all the little hands busy!!! <br />For now.. I'll just share Carter's tour of our new house.. not sure that the sound works, but you can see it (hopefully)<br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyNM4iPbP9COlHrXbON0mswWQ9FsDrY1ggiOy2OfJ3JfXGomBp7nKuZAcRDRrGe-C_6efdo-bqD2m55YZu0UQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><a href="http://s471.photobucket.com/albums/rr79/outnumberedn06/?action=view&current=kos.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr79/outnumberedn06/kos.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a>Karen @Snakes-Snails-Puppydogtailshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16904667099467052476noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467684982823641276.post-10064485614620725692009-06-30T16:11:00.006-04:002009-06-30T17:03:40.347-04:00Way to go HAYDEN *PLUS* Big newsWOW it's been a long time...

(hint hint!) <div>So instead of playing "catch up" with blogged I'll just start with yesterday...we'll really 2 weeks ago, but the main part is from yesterday...</div><div><br /> </div><div>Two weeks ago I noticed that Carter had his first loose tooth. BUT I also noticed that the permament tooth was coming in FAST directly behind it.</div><div> I called the dentist when the tooth was almost all the way in and they said to give it 2 weeks... </div><div> </div><div>So now to yesterday... the tooth still wasn't out - it moved a little, but not enough for me to pull. So I called and we made a trip to the dentist....which is an hour and a half drive. *YUCK*</div><div> NOW the tooth is out, but you can't really tell because the new one is almost fully in! </div><div> Carter did great... Wyatt was the one who was worried because he saw the dentist use the pliers to pull it out! Now all he says is " Carter got big hurt and I NOT do it now!" He was so worried that he was next!<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345336894273209682" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRO8_MCElJzBK4kYCrNeHjVPbfBT4vCyxUMy7rG5EZ4WEEPgdI13oaTkdtFw0leHw3clyhuCeKxmb50uMxC2foZd7YhvCTdm1tppUI2KV8r7AVW49khUL9S3mVFUeMTf6C5dnkJDjyfeFZ/s400/lost+tooth.jpg" border="0" /> </div><div>On the trip back (Hayden was playing with a friend so I only had 2 boys) I stopped with the boys at a rest area to take Wyatt potty (workin' on the potty thing) Carter decided to LOOK at his tooth they pulled.. then DROPPED it on the ground! </div><div>Little little tooth... in a parking lot - I never noticed before all the little multi-colored stones they use to make a parking lot! Take a look next time and the picture trying to find a child's tooth! A needle in a haystack would be easier! </div><div>After looking for about 15 minutes, I took the boys to the bathroom thinking I would NEVER find it - but hey he'll lose more teeth, right!?</div><div> I told Carter "Let's pray we find it." So we stopped to pray and went back to the van. I buckled Wyatt in and thought "I'll look ONE last time." So I got on my knees looked for about 2 minutes, I STILL didn't find it. I got up to get in the van and THERE IT WAS!! <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345336896488194738" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkBpB-Gsbz3XnPpYfmJABuTx8XzgDjn6jSqwFqxQYLKXDClP5qwo7aOGKtmC01uCB-TxOYqgGq8lvLD6ve_2eCKxmHg0OU9kf_lBBgUQhJOzgTv9IYB5bUrAA97tU3-4VvfIwHeIhSK5BJ/s400/lost+tooth2.jpg" border="0" /></div><div>I still can't believe we found it. I told Carter "Look God answered our prayer... He even cares about a tooth." Then he said, "Yeah, and he cares about us too!" You got that right kiddo! </div><div> So needless to say it was an adventure... we won't forget about the first tooth Carter lost... REALLY lost!</div><div><a href="http://s471.photobucket.com/albums/rr79/outnumberedn06/?action=view&current=kos.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr79/outnumberedn06/kos.jpg" border="0" /></a></div>Karen @Snakes-Snails-Puppydogtailshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16904667099467052476noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467684982823641276.post-61679290408183726672009-06-09T10:05:00.000-04:002009-06-09T11:24:52.574-04:00Check out the new website of scripture verse tees!!<br /><center><a href="http://www.wildolivetees.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Wild Olive Tees" src="http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd214/millers97/wild%20olive%20images/wildolivebutton.png" /></a></center><br />It's sooo cool! <p></p><p><a href="http://s471.photobucket.com/albums/rr79/outnumberedn06/?action=view&current=kos.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr79/outnumberedn06/kos.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></p>Karen @Snakes-Snails-Puppydogtailshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16904667099467052476noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467684982823641276.post-55978927277340129722009-05-11T22:28:00.002-04:002009-05-11T22:35:11.220-04:00It looks worseThis is what happens when boy-meets-road! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_pNZqTlr0-iGUK8obxI93KUmFFBAgciHHi0XbuL4VGir5kObCOt714-xmUvgdf30crOalvciN9GY0-UUbu4qELpspLhFPXx0bxkfgqXXrP7MhaP-6U8mrk2iUMzRsjKTXNlEWvr6ScJxQ/s1600-h/SDC19612.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334759013806112658" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_pNZqTlr0-iGUK8obxI93KUmFFBAgciHHi0XbuL4VGir5kObCOt714-xmUvgdf30crOalvciN9GY0-UUbu4qELpspLhFPXx0bxkfgqXXrP7MhaP-6U8mrk2iUMzRsjKTXNlEWvr6ScJxQ/s400/SDC19612.JPG" border="0" /></a> It looks worse than it is...

If you are ever in Chicago you HAVE to make a trip to the <a href="http://www.chicagochildrensmuseum.org/">children's museum</a>. It's great!! We had such a blast and the kids did too! The price may be a little steep at $10 a person (kids too - except for under one year.) BUT - if you check their site they have discount and even FREE days or half days!!! SOOOOOOO worth it even if you pay the full price. Go prepared to spend a LONNNG time the there! <div><br /><br /><div>The first things my boys did and LOVED was the boat/tunnel/ ladder that stretches for 3 FLOORS!!
