Chores

-

With seven kids there is never a lack of things to get done.  It's good to be busy and it's better to see the happy smiles from the people I love when they notice I made their favorite dinner that night or they can wear their favorite shirt for the 3rd time that week since I get plenty of laundry to keep my washing machine busy every day.  Here are a few projects I worked on and the beautiful smiles that came with them.  

Diana sneakily got rid of the baby chair and play mat I so carefully saved for everyone else.  I'm not sure how she did it before she arrived.  Okay, maybe I gave them away in a fit of decluttering ecstasy.  I do love a good decluttering day.   Anyway, it gave John and I a chance to have fun putting together a new baby play mat and chair.  John is an amazing helper.

I just love how the big kids can't resist playing on the play mat with the baby.  They just love their baby sister so much!

We Returned to a Blessing

We came home to a HUGE blessing. Our house is still here and didn't sustain much damage. We just have to rebuild a portion of our fence and clean up dead branches and we are good to groove again. We don't have power yet, but I anticipate that it will come online soon. Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts. I know the Lord greatly blessed us on this one. We came home and made sure we gave a prayer of thanks for His mercy on us. We hope we can get out there and start helping folks who didn't fair as well as we did soon. Here are some pictures of our home:

John has been asking for months if his birthday would be tomorrow.  For months we have had to break the sad news his birthday was no tomorrow.  This month I finally had the chance to tell this cute little man that Yes!  His birthday was tomorrow!  We had so much fun celebrating the ray of sunshine known in our home as John.  The birthday fairy decorated his bedroom door with candy, friends were invited for a super fun Paw Patrol themed party, and presents were excitedly received.  We had so much fun celebrating and playing.  Every day should be John's birthday!  :)  John is growing up to be such a goon natured and kind little boy.  He writes the most heartfelt notes, gives the best hugs and snuggles, and plays the most fun games.  John has a tender testimony of Jesus and Heavenly Father.  He wants to do what is right and help others know they are loved too.  John is a fun friend, a thoughtful brother, and a loving, obedien...

Not Much Happening In Our Neck of the Woods

Not much to tell from our end of Texas. We've just been keeping busy keeping busy. We have started doing a small story time on Wednesdays with a few friends. The kids love it. Rebekah likes spending time with the other kids and Loyd adores doing the finger plays. I'm sure Great Grandma Young is helping him learn all the actions. He's really quite good at them and picks up the plays rather quickly. Loyd also went in for his 18 month old well baby visit. Everything is looking good for our young man. He is tall and skinny and seems to be ahead of the curve on his developmental milestones. The pediatrician was impressed. Rebekah is turning into quite the social butterfly. She loves to play with her friends. She would have them come over every day, all day if she could. When they have to go home she turns to Loyd and spends the rest of the afternoon telling him what to do. She taught him a few games with some carpet squares and has him trained on how to play a good g...
