Babies, Babies and More Babies!

We are so excited to be welcoming six new family members in 2009! It is amazing the growth of this family and so wonderful!

Our family will be welcoming four new babies in 2009! Joel and Shannon will welcome Joshua Joel sometime at the beginning of February. Poor Shannon has had a rough time, but I am glad they were finally able to give her something to help her out. We are hoping this last trimester will be good for her!

DJ and Lisa will welcome a baby girl sometime at the beginning of April. We saw them last week and they are looking tired all ready. We hope they will get some sleep before their daughter arrives. Lisa has had a healthy pregnancy and has been able to work. Hopefully she will continue feeling well.

Tricia is expecting a baby sometime in August. Her first doctor appointment will be in January and we will be able to send more news as she progresses.

Corrie is expecting and will also deliver in August. She too is waiting for her first appointment so she will be able to give us more news!

Thank you Chelsea for posting the monthly growth blogs. I enjoy reading them and trying to keep straight were everyone is. I hope the second trimester will be better for you!

Congratulations to Brad and Tirza!

2009 will be exciting for all of us!

Family Additions!

The family is expanding! In June of 2008 DJ married Lisa Fiddler and added a new grandson to the mix. His name is Gabe and he will be 2 September 7. We also added a granddaughter on August 11, 2008. Kennedie Jo was 8 pounds 1ounce and was twenty one inches long. We are expecting two new grandchildren next year-Joel and Shannon are expecting sometime in March and DJ and Lisa are expecting around May. We are blessed beyond belief and just wanted to let everyone meet our new additions!

Playing with the site

New Look!

Sometimes I get a little bored and have to create something new. I wish I had a better grasp on this posting thing, because I would probably try to create something crazy. I got tired of the orange and blue seemed to be the best color for the beach theme. Anyhow, I hope I haven't scared anyone and I need some help on creating a playlist. I love popping on to your sites and hearing all the fun music. As you can see, I have just figured out how to add the spots I like to visit. I am having fun keeping up on all the new postings and hope you enjoy our sight as well!

Beautiful Birthday Girl!!

This is the picture taken last October when Tricia received Student of the Month. She is doing so awesome, she had a teacher nominate her for Who's Who in Academics. We recently completed their profile and sent a picture so we hope to get a yearbook from them sometime toward the end of the year!

Tomorrow my baby will turn seventeen!! It is hard to believe, yet in a weird way I am accepting it. I think the boys paved the way through the teenage turmoil, and although she has her moments, I think she is turning out to be one terrific lady!

Happy Birthday Tricia! We love you!

Sorry about the bummer!!!

When I started to post that last blog, I was sitting in a waiting room while Tricia underwent surgery. Just as I started getting the hang of their computer, Tricia was finished and all turned out well.

She had a cyst in her throat that was wrapped up in her lymphnodes. The doctor said this was the first case he had ever seen! Which is saying a lot because he has been in the ear, nose throat business for a long time. The cyst was benign and he says it should not happen again. She still has some swelling in there that will take a while for the other lymphnodes to go back to normal, since they were reacting to the cyst, so anyhow, all is well!!!

I have a picture I want to post, so I will end this comment and move on to the fun stuff!!!

Love you all and thank you for calling me out on that one!
