I am doing great to get three posts in today but I was really behind schedule!! The kids recovered from the Scarlet Fever just great, and none of their friends ever got sick, talk about a huge blessing. They even missed taking their medicine. After every dose I would give them a treat: gum, juice box, ice cream, flavored milk, or yogurt. Scott was begging to take his medicine the day after and I just laughed. It was a nightmare the first day but after Grandma brought them a treat I figured out what I had to do. Bribery is OK for some things. Here they are, enjoying an ice cream treat after the morning dose, yes morning!!!
The kids love to help me and here they are helping me exercise. I mentioned to Amelia that I needed to exercise and so she went and got me some exercise clothes and then proceeded to dress her brother and sister in some of her workout gear. I spared you the picture of myself. I really don't get much exercise done with the kids around but it is just SOOOOO hard to get up before they do and at night I am toooo tired. So I make the attempt now and then and just hope that it is enough!!
We had dinner at mom and dad's on Sunday and I just had to take this picture of Blake (Lance's 2 year old and Nathan) they were playing so cute together. We love Lance and Alycia's kids they are so sweet and my kids just adore every one of them!!
I apologize that I have taken so long to post. Life gets crazy!!! We had our first doctor appointment and everything is great I am now 16 weeks!!! I will let you know the sex when I find out. I am really struggling with names!! I have also taken up piano. My friend wants to give me lessons but I am very shy (really I am) and that sounds just awful to me, even though I think it would be good I just figure I will teach myself. So that is why I haven't posted for so long, every free moment I practice the piano. It is a great stress reliever, but so is this. Not that I am under stress I just need a break now and then. Well, I am now going to play a game with my kids and if any of you guessed Scooby-Doo then you are right. Read my first post today and you will know what I mean.

Glad your kids are feeling better. And I am impressed that you try to exercise. I haven't tried in probably 6 months. But I need too.
Okay so I just was on Jolene's blog and saw that you had made a comment, so I went to your site and here I am! Just wanted to say hi and let you know I was here:). You are such a cute girl (and always have been)- I am so behind in the kid department, you guys put me to shame! I think I see 4 kids in your family! wow that is so awesome!! Anyways, good to see how you are doing, I hope you don't mind?! Heidi Bell Kjar (from High school)

colette i have a really good name for you. i know you want all of your kids to have 6 letter names so i think parker is really cute. or if it is a girl i really like whitney or lauren. dont name her morgan! cute name but not such a cute person associated with it! hope you find out a good name! i love you guys! give the kids hugs!
I used to work out when Addy was sleeping, but I have decided that that time is to valuable for other things, so I workout now when she is awake and she gets a kick out of working out with me. She dances to the music and laughs her head off at me when I punch or do kicks. when I do sit-ups she thinks we are playing peek-a-boo and I get a kiss every time I come up. And she even has her own set of 1 lb hand weights that she thinks is so cool to use like mommy. That is such a cute picture of your kids and it just made me smile when I saw it. I am excited for you to play the piano, I know what you mean when you say you practice with every free second you have cause that is what I have to do to, but my favorite thing about it is that I feel more relaxed and in tuned to the spirit when I find time to practice especially the hymns. so keep up with it.
