For Adam's and Austin's 9th birthday this year we went for a picnic up near Red Fleet Resevior. We had lunch, hiked around a bit and then our friend Erica brought her guns up and let the boys shoot them. It was the best present they could have recieved. After we ate and shot guns, we then went down to Red Fleet and put our feet into the water. It was brisk and refreshing. All in all it was a great day.

Austin shooting a 22

Erica had a small 22 that was perfect size for kids and only holds one bullet at a time. But we thought we would also let them shoot the regular size one as well. It was a little big for them.

Spring is here!

Spring is quickly passing and time is flying with it. It is almost summer and once again I am faced with the excitement of sleeping in every morning and at the same time the worry of how to occupy my kids during the summer months. Alot has happened, but most note-worthy is the fact that I am expecting our fifth child. I have an ultra sound next Wednesday to give me a more precise due date, which I am very excited for. I am impartial to which sex this baby is, and it will be the tie breaker baby. Of course, the girls want a girl and the boys want a boy. It will be interesting. I am excited but can't wait for this morning/all day sickness to go away... it is getting old being nauseous most of the time. On the upside, I am done doing daycare, which I am thoroughly enjoying. I have lost the patience I had with other people's children and am just getting by. I am also die-ing of heat already, and it is only May. Thank goodness for central air!

This coming weekend we will be going down to my grandma's cabin for the weekend to relax and get away. It will be nice to escape and enjoy some family time. It will be nice and relaxing, with hopefully very few accidents from the kids.
