Maddie and the foot ball game

So we were watching a foot ball game and Maddie was very concerned that there were bad people on playing the game. I questioned her and asked her what she meant she said "they had to go to time out" Ok so she is only three and and has only the concept of what time out means if she is in trouble. she makes us laugh so much with her imagination.

It also make me realize how smart she is and that she understands and remembers so much. Maddie why do you grow so fast, you were born just yesterday weren't you? I love you so much!!!!

I want to go with my daddy

Daddy was going to pick up some prescriptions from the pharmacy and was taking Joseph and Allison and of course anyone else who wanted to go. Maddie wanted to go and sent to get here socks shoes and coat. she got distracted and was remined that it was time to go and there was no reply from her. she was heavy into her imagination of her own world. So natrually the others left. About an hour later out of the blue she was on the couch and remembered that she wanted to go and brust into tears. I asked her a question and she was again disracted and immediantly stopped crying and started talking about something funny. She is just funny and I love her a ton she is so sweet.

Colored Pennies

Daddy brought home giant Smarties and gave them to the kids and Spencer replied "these are my colored pennies".

Has it alrealdy been one month

Wow Time fly's by too fast!!! Samantha is 1 month old. Where does the time go? With 6 wonderful children the time goes by so fast that if I blink I miss something. Right now Spencer has his sweet little arms around his little sister smothering her with his kisses while she sleeps so peacefully. I feel like I do not get to hold her as much as I would like to because all the little kids want to hold her all the time. The first few weeks were rough as we were establishing the boundaries and teaching the little ones how to hold the baby and that we have to ask when we want to hold the baby and so on but the kids are very respectful of the rules and love there sister very much. Samantha has survived 1 month with 5 very protective brothers and sisters, with the occasional reminder to be gentle. I love all of my time that I have to be with Samantha.

She has a few mile stones to note She sleeps through the night going to bed at 11:00 and waking up at 7:30 I have been blessed to have such a good sleeper. Also with in this last week she has figured out how to smile what a sweetie she is with a cute smile. I am trying to get it on camera so wish us luck!! She is also now weighing in at 8lb 13oz she is such a big girl.

Heavenly Father knew that my patients would run low with six kids and now sleep. I am fully confiedent that I have what I can handle and I know that the Lord is right here helping me out. I have been so thankful for the watchful care of my Father in Heaven and also for the help that my wonderful Husband has been in helping me fulfill my calling as a mother!!!!

What a day to be thankful for

We had a great day. We had my sweet sister here from college. We also had David's Mom and Brother over for dinner. His Dad was sick and did not want to get our little ones sick. To which I am greatful for his great sacrafice, he has not seen the newest one yet and he is just dying to see and hold her. I hope that he gets to feeling better soon. We miss you grandpa!!!!! We had a great dinner and sat and talked and visited with family. After David's mom and brother lost we headed out to David's anuts house and hung out there and had pie there a fun tradition that we have done almost for 10 years minus two years.

At dinner time we all sat at the table and and went around telling each other what we were thankful for Maddie said" I am thankful for food" Spencer said I am thankful for loving my mommy" Joseph said that he was thankful for his "freedom" Allison said that she was thankful for loving her family" And for Michael we thought that he would need prompted so we were telling him things like family and food ect... and he said all by him self "Mary Poppins" that is his favorite movie he begs to watch it all the time and when we do not let him he will walk around the house singing the songs Chimminy and Just a spoon full of sugar. He makes us laugh so much. I love hearing what is on the hearts and thoughts of these little minds.

So I am grateful for my wonderful family and all that I am blessed with, I love my family and friends and I am grateful for all of the sacrafices that we all make for each other.!!!!!

Happy Thanks giving

Maddie and here imagination

I am in here on the computer and Maddie is in picking up her toys and her imagination is wild
She is talking to her toys telling them "come on everybody it's show time" How cute. She could sit for hours and be perfectly happy with telling her dolls and pollys what to do. Like come on little doll it is time to clean up so we can go play outside or lets take a bath or lets get our hair cut or lets put on makeup. She makes me laugh!!!!!!

Joseph is doing very good

I love my oldest. It is hard to believe that he is 9 years old. I can not beleive that it was 9 years ago that he was born. It seems that just yesterday he was placed in my arms and and I cherished every moment with him. He is just as sweet now as he was then. He has a heart of gold of which I am grateful for. I love that kid. He can be a struggle at times, as many of you know he was diagnosed with having aspergers a form of autism. After many visits to many Doctors and trying different forms of behavior modifications, and then after finding the right meds for him, we are on to a better life for all of us. He loves to cook for us and he is dang good too. He loves to build things and loves to do science expereiments so we have a lot of fun with him.
