7 Month Update

So.....I can't believe that it has been seven months since I have updated on this blog!! So let me go back to our time in Cinncinnati, OH. The kids loved the Children's Museum in the city. It is a wonderful city, but very cold during the winter!


These pictures are from the Children's Museum and a dinosaur exhibit there.



These are pictures from our daily life in Wilmington, OH. Makayla in gymnastics, Hunter in Karate, Ava in her snowsuit, and Hunter and Makayla with another pipeline family that the kids became friends with.



More will come when I don't have a screaming baby!! Until next time.....

Picture Update

Alright....well my computer is running very slow so I am just going to put pictures on this blog. I will try again tomorrow to see if the service will be better. Hope you enjoy.
This is on our way to Wilmington, Ohio. Do you think our car is packed!?!
This is us at the Cincinnati Zoo for the festival of lights......we just thought that it was cold that night!!
This was our first "snow" after arriving in Wilmington......they refer to this as "dusting."
Ava and dad in the snow.....Nice camper behind them, huh....no really.....the guy is really nice.....he just saved himself ALOT of money and went the cheaper route!
This is Hunter and Shannon playing in the snow!
This is Ava's "boo boo" from falling off of the bed....she is now crawling all over the place and didn't realize that the bed and floor are very far apart.
This was one of our field trips to the Air Force Museum in Dayton. It is really neat! We will have to go back to see the rest of the place. It is HUGE!! Hunter really liked this field trip!
O.K. Well I will try to download some pictures from the kids' camera tomorrow. We hope everyone is doing well and miss you all!!

Alright....so Ava is not letting me get much sleep. I am so sleep deprived right now. I guess I was spoiled with Hunter and Makayla. They never had any issues with sleeping, but Ava...I should have known since she did come out facing the world (she was an OB baby). Well anyway she is not letting me get much sleep.

On to another topic.....I am so glad that Makayla loves playing with Barbies, but do you think that they could have made it a little to put clothes on the things. I am so tired of putting clothes on Barbie!!

Well, there is still snow on the ground with another front coming through tonight or tomorrow. I don't mind it too much, but it does melt....inside the camper. Needless to say we leave a towel by the door to clean up the water.

Until next time...

Where to begin?

Here is the deal....we have had ALOT going on in the past month!! O.K. so now we are in Wilmington, Ohio, which is about 45 minutes northeast of Cinncinati. It is freakin' cold here!! I just realized that I REALLY don't like the cold.
This is probably not going to be a long blog because Ava is crawling everywhere and it is hard to focus in a library with three kids!!
So let me start by saying that we had to move out five years worth of stuff in three weeks while Hunter had the pink eye, then Makayla (in both eyes), and the rain!! Anyway, we got it done!! Although, Shannon had to buy me two cargo storage compartments for my car.....we have alot of stuff!! We didn't finish with the house until 2:00 Christmas Eve and had to be at Shannon's grandmother's two hours away at 6:00. So we left town around 4:00 and on the way up Makayla threw up all over the car and herself!! We were on the side of the road with Makayla naked trying to clean up the car and her......did I mention that it was raining. So obviously when we got to Shannon's grandmother's house, Makayla and I stayed in the car. Shannon brought dinner to me and Makayla's presents to her. We left there and headed toward my sister's house in Starkville. On the way there we heard a thump, thump from the top of my car. I said either Santa just lost some gifts out of his sleigh or we just lost luggage. Sure enough it was the latter. Makayla's bag flew out, her school box, and the top to Hunter's school box!! We recovered Makayla's luggage. We arrived at my sister, Jeanna's, around 11 o'clock, gave Makayla a bath, and sent the kids to sleep for Santa Claus.....only to realize that Santa left half of the kids stuff in Jackson. What a wonderful adventure. Anyway, so we are here in Ohio now and trying to get adjusted to life in the camper again!! I will try to get pictures on here as soon as I figure out the easiest way for us to get on-line. Anyway, we miss everyone very much and love you all!!
