I am a little over 39 weeks now. At my doctor’s appointment yesterday he did say I was dilated, although only to a one. Generally though, if I am dilated at all then the baby is on its way. I don’t dilate until we are really close to delivery. The plan is to go in …

Claire, oh Claire
I am not sure if there is any way to describe my sweet daughter Claire. She is so imaginative. She is rarely “Claire” around our house. More often than not she is Christine, Hannah Montana, a cat, or one of the many other characters she enjoys being. She is so dramatic and entertaining. Nothing is …
Happy 6th KK!
Yesterday was KK’s birthday. I don’t do big parties every year, especially when I am nearly full term, but it has been a while since KK had a friend party so I agreed. Unlike most little girls she insisted on a Spongebob party. She invited 10 girls (plus my three girls) so we had a …
Spooktacular Halloween
We were lucky enough to have Grandpa Gary and Grandma Kathy join us this Halloween. A Halloween geocache series got us in the haunting mood. It consisted of 12 spooky caches that led up to the final 13th geocache with lots of fun goodies for the kids. We enjoyed all the Halloween festivities: hot chocolate, …

Sweet sisters
Drew, being the only boy home during the day, gets totally spoiled by his sisters. As far as he knows he has four different mommies. I know many people fear for his sanity since he doesn’t have any brothers (other than Jake who is 7 years older) to play with but let me assure you …
Colors of the season
Today our family met up with Grandpa and Grandma Johnson (Seth’s parents) as well as Spencer and Rach and their fam and went to Sundance. We took the lift up the mountain to see all the beautiful fall colors. I don’t think we could have picked a better day. It seemed the colors were just …
Let the fun begin!
With school starting so do lot of fun activities for the kids. Jake, Meg, and KK are all in soccer. That keeps us busy most nights of the week. Jacob’s team continues to do well. I don’t see a real love for soccer from him but he gets exercise and seems to enjoy himself. Megan …
Kindergarten begins today
Katelyn started kindergarten today. She has been begging me to go all week. She couldn’t understand why Jacob and Meg got to go so much sooner than she did. I put her in afternoon kindergarten so by the time 12:30 rolled around she was chomping at the bit to get out the door. It is …
