We had Kip's birthday today and had fun with all of the family!

caleb had a program at school. he did such a good job and even danced with a girl willingly! They square danced for part of the program.Kip finished his birdhouse for Aliyah with Caleb's help(actually jakob and aliyah helped too!) KIp bought me roses to let me know how excited he is about us being pregnant. It being his fault completely! His boys got past all my defenses so I joke it is all his fault! I was concerned I am not looking forward to maybe getting fat again. I am hoping to exercise thru the entire time but I have had difficult pregnancies before. Today was absolutely gorgeous and we all wore shorts and short sleeves shirts and played all day in the back yard! We had conference today at church so it was not as long as normal. well i better go and get in bed.

I have not posted for a while. i have been very busy! Well Caleb has started his football games and is having a blast! He is so good too! We now have brick on our house and the wood floors and tile floors have been put in. Yeah! Aliyah has been riding her bike like crazy. She has so much fun riding around the circle. The craziest news of all is that I have found out I am pregnant again! I got pregnant with an IUD and had it taken out. Now we are just waiting until the baby is big enough to be able to tell where it is. whether it is ectopic or if it is in the uterus. I am praying that the baby is in the right place! I am not sure about having another baby but I will get used to the idea soon enough! Well I better go it is getting late but will try to update you again soon please pray for me and hope the baby is in the right place! love you all, Melissa!

This is the latest scrapbook page I have finished. I am way behind these pictures are from 2005. Caleb went fishing with gpa and his dad to the kids pond. They had a great time. Caleb caught the most fish and Jakob caught the biggest fish. They love to go do outdoor stuff. Kip enjoys having boys that like to do the same stuff that he does. We will have to go fishing again soon. It is getting a little warmer here but not much!

These latest pictures are from our visit to our new house,kip went snow shoeing, and we amde peanut butter cookies. we had fun mixing the ingredients and caleb just had to amke a big cookie. he likes to make different shapes. he thought he would try to make a big cookie. it turned out pretty well. we got stuffed on peanut butter cookies. lyndsey said they were her new favorite. we had not made them for quite some time. i have been trying to lose weight and have not baked many things lately. I would like to lose maybe five more pounds. we went to our house and got so excited to see the shingles on the roof. the framing is coming along great as well. we can imagine more what things are going to be like now. We are so happy to see so much progress. it still seems so amazing we are getting a new house! time for bed forme so will update more later.

BUILD A BUDDY AND FAMILY HOME EVENING

I need to tellyou about the photos i posted in the slideshows. the first is from when we went ot the build a buddy place. it is like build a bear. aliyah got a gift certificate for her birthday and wanted to go make a buddy. she was so excited she wanted to go before she went to kindergarten but i toldher she had to wait until after school. school got out and the first thing she said was" are we going!" i told her of course. lyndsey wantedt o build a buddy but the boys were a little hesitant. thinking they were to old! i encouraged them this might be the last time thay nmight even come close to being little anymore so i told them do it! caleb was still not convinced. he did not want any of his friends to know! he finally changed his mind and of course they both picked the most masculine thing they could find. aliyah instantly knew which she wanted. the unicorn! Lyndsey changed her mind everytime i showed her a new animal. finally i lifted out an orange kitty cat and that was it for her! they had so much fun filling wishing and dressing their buddies. what a great time!


the other pictures are from the girls playing with modeling clay i bought from roberts on clearance (of course)! They made all kinds of things with the templates that came in the bucket. it also came with google eyes. the other pics in this group are from family home evening. we decided to read the scripture from d&c 27 that talks about the whole armour of god. it was fun letting them pick out the color of the paper they wanted to use. lyndsey loves pink aliyah decided yellow was good this time. she always is changing her favorite color. jakob chose green of course his all time favorite and caleb chose red of course he likes blue too. i tried the best i could to fit the paper on them. i did not find any patterns to follow so we just measured and stuck on with tape. it was lots of fun! we read the scripture and talked about what the pieces were for and how they could protect us out in the world. i love having a family. until next time~
