Pumkin Patch

Every year of our marriage we have gone to Marris Farms in Buckley to enjoy the pumpkin patch and every year we have a great time. This year however, we were greatly disappointed. We are always on a tight budget, this is why we liked Marris Farms. They were free to get in and all we had to pay for was the pumpkin. Of course if you wanted to do the other things like the corn maze or the kids games you had to pay extra but that was an option. This year you had to pay for everyone to just get in. It was $5 per person and that did not include the corn maze. With our large family it came to $25 just to walk through the front gate. We hardly did any of the fun and games because it was so crowded (the crowding was of course not their fault). We were only there for an hour picked one pumpkin because it was so expensive and went home. In all we spent $35 for a pumpkin. If you have the money by all means go. But I recommend finding a pumpkin patch that is free to get into and where you have the option to pay for the extras. The economy is not getting any better and I'm very disappointed that Marris Farms has decided to take advantage of it in this way. We won't be going back anytime in the future.

Lizzy turned 9 months

On the 13th Lizzy turned 9 months. She is such a joy to have. I am so blessed to have the children that I have and I would not trade even the toughest times. Lizzy has 7 teath now, she only weights 17 pounds and is 28" inches long, so she's short and thin. Nothing like her brother and sister at this age. She is crawling everywhere and follows her big sister all over. She's been pulling her self up and says mama and dada. I have never seen a more happier baby. Even when she's sick she's happy. She has 3 shots on Wednesday and one of them caused a reaction, she's doing much better now though. I will post a picture a little later.
Alainna is learning her letters and Colton can count to 50. Logan's grades are not that good, but I'm not too worried yet. I just want him to pass, so please pray that he would focus and study. I can't force him to do either one but I can encourage him.
Rob works too much and I hate it, but I am thankful he has a job.
We can't afford a home, even in this market. I'm going to be quiting CEF next year and we won't be able to afford rent then either, so please keep up in mind when you pray.
I think that's it for now.

Date Night

Rob and I had a much needed afternoon together. We were gone 6 hours. It was wonderful! We went to Bellevue to a restaurant called Maggianos. It was excellent. The food was so good and the service was perfect. I highly recommend it to everyone. You can go to their website Maggianos.com. We also walked around Bellevue Square and saw a movie. I love my husband and I'm so glad for the time alone with him.

What's happening

Well, I'm 6 1/2 wks along. I can't wait until the morning sickness is gone. Its now targeting only the late afternoon and evening. I think I would rather have it in the morning and then have it done for the day. I'm nauseous all day though, but throwing up in the afternoons now. Sunday was the worst, I couldn't even move without throwing up. Logan is always a blessing to me during these times. He is the biggest help anyone could ever have. The only thing he won't do for me is change the diapers. He has even rubbed my feet for me. I love him soooo much.
Lizzy is scooting more than crawling. She only uses one arm too. She uses her left arm to scoot and her right arm to reach. Man can she move though. Alainna loves her to death and is so gentle with her. The other day she set the tea set up for them and included Lizzy. Colton is a huge climber and I can't keep him off the top of the funiture. He needs a jungle gym.
Logan is going back to public school this year. He plans to join the swim team next year and ROTC, if he can do both. I need to get him into piano lessons soon. If anyone knows anybody in Bonney Lake who teaches for very little money let me know. I have to change diapers and clean a bathroom before my vomiting starts up.

Yes, this is no joke

Yes, I am pregnant. And no this is not funny. We have tried almost every birthcontrol options out there. It is not easy having all three little ones with morning sickness. Please pray that it will go away very quickly.

Alainna's 2nd birthday

We had Alainna's part on Saturday and we had such a good time. She got a new toddler bed and a lot of baby clothes and princess things. I think she's happy.
