Busy, Busy, Busy!

I haven't been able to blog for a little while. We have been busy building our new house (which I'm sure will start to be fun once we have this baby!!) I don't climb the dirt piles too easy and climbing in and out of the "house hole" as Alyssa would say, isn't getting any easier either! It's fun to see things progress. It has definately been a long time coming. I'm hoping now that we can get things enclosed before the snow comes. We at least got the footings poured before we got a snow storm this last weekend. I was a little worried but it turned out fine. Today they are finishing putting up the forms for the basement walls and the cement will be poured. So many decisions to be made that having a baby sounds a lot easier right now! : )

Baby....
Well, last week we went in for a checkup and thought that the baby might be breech. (Great, just what I need!) I joked with the kids about having a C-section just so I could have a few more days in the hospital to rest but when they said she might be breech, I was quick to say I was kidding about the C-section! I definately don't want to choose that! Anyway, we had an ultrasound and she is right where she's supposed to be, HEAD DOWN!!! I was relieved to hear that. I guess she will fit right in with the rest of our girls...she'll just have a boney little bum! : ) I tried to convince the Dr. today to induce me this weekend but he didn't really go for that. The soonest I could induce would be on the 22nd which is only a week until I'm due. I guess I will have to walk out to the property or jump on the trampoline if I want it any sooner! Just kidding! She'll come when I'm not ready I'm sure. I'll keep everyone posted. We're still deciding on names too. Alyssa is funny because if you ask her what we should name the baby she says, "Mom, I think I'll just have to see her when she's born and then decide!"

Tagged...

I was tagged by my sister-in-law Andrea and I'm supposed to put the 4th picture from the fourth folder and then write about it.

This picture was taken during the NBA playoffs this year. (Need I say more?...) The Lakers were on and the girls thought it would be fun to lay on their pillows and blankets and watch the game. Looking at the picture, the game must have not been that exciting but once you've watched game after game after game...... they all start to look the same (at least from an 8 and 2 year olds standpoint.) I can say that I tried to watch them too but I would much rather go for best out of 3 than best of 7...because you know they'll always go 7!

I tag Amy, Amber, Brooke, Ashley and Mandy S.

Well, I thought I would add some manliness to our page. This is Joe's buck that he shot this last fall with Trevor. Boy we sure have enjoyed the summer sausage and jerky!
