Asa is 5 months

Asa is growing so fast but they always do!!

Snow Day...

Last week the kids had a 3 day weekend because they had a snow day.
On Friday we woke up to 15inches of snow...




I couldn't believe it. This is the most we have had at once since we have lived here.

Mary went out first thing to check on the chickens...





Ruthie and Leah posing outside the family room so I didn't have to walk out into it!!!





Harper got prepared for disaster and has helped people throughout the week get out of snow banks and pull their cars out of driveways...





The kids played all day and the next!





Harper came home and pulled them on the sled.





It was a fun day!!

A neighbor & his wife were hanging out at our house since it was warm and helped the kids build an igloo.





A little crazy since our power was out for over 14 hours. We cooked dinner on our stove it was nice to know we could. The power line right next to our house was down so after the Power company visited our house we had power again. What a blessing!!!!





It has been a week and we are still covered!!

the last 4 months...

Halloween! Here we are at the trunk-or-treat.

In my rush to get there I forgot to take a picture before hand.
The kids all had fun and got way too much candy!!

Asa Charles Moses...

Well he has finally arrived!!!

Asa was born July 6th at 10:51 am. He weighed 7lbs 8oz. 20 1/2 inches long.




His mommy was so happy to have him here... the 9 months of anticipation were well worth that cute little face. Oh he is so perfect!! What fun!!





His brothers and sisters came to meet him just a couple of hours after he was born.





They all anxiously awaited their turn to hold him!!





Ready to go home...





We love our new little Asa!!!

Rachel turns 2...

What a day!! The evening was filled with this and that so we decided to do a
Breakfast Birthday Party!!

The kids had planned out the whole thing. James blew up 100 balloons for Rachel on her 1st birthday so he decided to do 200 this year...





Mary modeling the headband that Grandma Moses made her, THANKS!!





The kids saw this little 4 wheeler in the newspaper add last week and were determined that Rachel needed it for her birthday. They were all willing to buy it themselves.
(they all make me smile)
So Harper and I gave in and got it for her.

We hid it under the balloons...
it must have been a little intimidating :)





She loved opening the presents!





Here she is giving her baby a ride!





She rode on it all day!!!!!
Each time she took a break Ruthie would try to get a little ride in but as soon as Rachel heard it she came in with her vocals :)!





Here is Rachel posing with her cupcakes!!





She didn't like us singing Happy Birthday to her???





She blew out her candles on the first try!





What a cutie!! It was fun to watch her spend the day enjoying all her gifts!!!

Love you Rachel, Happy Birthday!!!!
