Baby Sims to come

I know it has been a very long time since I posted anything on this blog. I just thought I would let everyone know that we are having a baby in December. My due date is Dec. 20th but with my current history, all 4 I have not made it past 36 weeks and a couple of days. So hopefully sometime after Turkey day this baby will come. We are excited for this little surprise. As many of you know we have done clomid for 3 of our childern and 1 we did metphormin. This is a little surprise. Anna would love a sister. The boys are all hoping for another brother. I will keep everyone posted.

Family Photo

We got a new family picture taken of Thanksgiving. It turned out pretty good.

Love Scentsy stuff!

I am having a Scentsy Open House tomorrow night. I can't wait! I have been saving a thinking about what I wanted for a long time. They have new plugins that I think will be great in the bathrooms. With three little boys in the house you can only imagine what my bathroom is like. New fall scents; I am so ready for pumpkin cookies. If you want to stop by and take a smell and visit feel free.

12 years of bliss!

Today is our 12 year anniversary! Can you believe that? It is hard to imagine my life with out Mac. Over the years my love for him has grown. I treasure the time we are able to spend together.

Summer Schedule

So the kids are home and summer is here! We have a pretty busy schedule this summer trying to keep everyone busy. I thought of this brilliant idea to keep everyone busy this summer. I decided if we did a schedule where we had something to do everyday of the week then the kids would know what our plan is and what we need to accomplish.

Monday- Kid Fitness, Reading Tutoring, and Library
Tuesday - Field Trip Day
Wednesday - Kid Fitness and Reading Tutoring
Thursday - Errands and Playdates
Friday - Trade in the Daycare and the Legacy Center

So far the schedule seems to be working. We keep ourselves very busy in the morning hours and then make sure that the afternoons are quiet and we can still get in our naps.

Here is the schedule for the rest of the fieldtrips if anyone is interested.

Had the best time with Alison

So, my dear friend and roomate from Ricks College recently had a birthday. I was able to go to lunch with her and visit. Of course we had a double date with Abby and Ben in tote but that is just how it is with our lives right now.
Now that I have been home and seen your blog Alison... You are SO RIGHT about the hair. I have not stopped laughing. I still like the style.
Great food, great conversation, and fun memories. Love spending time with you Alison. Thanks.

Art Auction at Mountainville Academy

I haven't posted in a while I have been so BUSY!
Wow... The art projects are turning out so amazing. I am so pleased with the results. We are making a class art project for each class and then we will auction each piece off at our auction in April. I will post some pictures soon and try to explain some of them.
