Keeping fingers crossed!

So tomorrow or Thursday we sign pre-adoption papers! So excited and nervous! :) Wish us luck!

our first family trip

We went to Rexburg to see Virginia :) It was such a NEEDED trip! Jesse and Todd bonded so much :) and I got away from everything that was stressing me out! How I wish it lasted longer than just two days!
I can't show all the pictures I want until these kids are adopted but I will show you one that I love because its my family! All of us were walking around campus with Virginia and it was so neat to see how big our family was! I just kept thinking WOW this is my family! People looking at us made comments sometimes, especially when we came out of an elevator and they thought we were done coming out and yet there were 5 more LOL :)



We stayed with our cousin Julie. We didn't get into her place till late but she has a beautiful home and it was plenty big for us as well! :)
I loved the mountains! They were so beautiful and full of snow!

The Highschool Musical and a Ball.....

My Mom (Grandmax ) Came to meet the three new children, see Kalene in the high school musical, "Your a Good Man Charlie Brown," and my other daughters had a masquerade ball :)

We Got a Van....

So we got a van so that NOW we can ALL fit in our FAMILY VEHICLE ! :) WAHOO! I am so happy. We got it for an amazing price at an auction, which was so much fun to go to! It was the best one there, the tires are brand new. Absolutely NOTHING is wrong with it and it had little milage. It was used as a commuter van. They take care of their vehicles. So we are really pleased!

The kids love it! Each day they try out a new seat! SO FUNNY! :)

Also, Todd got his colonoscopy and the doc said he has a beautiful colon :) PERFECTLY HEALTHY! Which is such a big relief with his mother dieing from Colon cancer recently! :)

My Mom *GRANDMAX* comes next week. Kalene is in the highschool musical and my Mom is flying out to support her and see the new grandbabies :) Who are doing great!

Things are really going well here at home. They have settled in so well. J is learning consequences and his bad behaviors are changing for the good :) B and & E are doing well too :) I want to start potty training after the musical. E is looking interested :)

LIFE IS JUST GREAT AT THIS MOMENT!

Pine Wood Derby

So my son Jaden is a cub scout and J (our foster son, hopefully adopted son this summer) wants to be a cub scout too :) SO GREAT!
WE went to the pine wood derby lastnight.... Jaden made a cool car.. it was a wolf :)
Every year Jaden has won first place in the pine wood derby so this year we thought we would make it a cool car and give someone else a chance to win. :) He still got 3rd place :) In some of them first but the final one was 3rd.
Our Foster Children had so much fun. I can't post those pictures yet. DARN IT! But when we adopt them I will catch you up on it all :)
They had a little track set up for the little kids ;) IT WAS GREAT! Here are some pictures that i can share.


Oh I also have been taking pictures to put up on our wall of our three little ones :) I want them to know how much we love them. How apart of our lives they are :)

Our Foster Children....

I wish I could post pictures of three of the most amazing children that have recently blessed us. But I can't. I can't even share much of why they are with us or anything personal like that, but I can share that I am loving it~! Loving having little children in my home. Loving that I can say I am currently a mother of 8 children! Yes... EIGHT!!!!!

Crazy 7 went to Crazy 10 :) LOVE THAT! I am not sure if we will be able to make it permanent but I know that for now, this is where they belong. My children love them!
My son loves having a brother and two younger baby sisters :)

It is a lot of work getting them in and out of the car. A total of 6 times, 3 car seats and that is just dropping kids off to school and picking them up! But :) I still feel its worth it :)

All the WORK! ALL THE LOVE I HAVE TO GIVE! They have blessed us with laughter and joy! With fun! :) Todd is just adored by them. I love that they call us Mommy and Daddy. They didn't have to but chose to :) It brings only joy to my heart!
YOU SHOULD SEE US AT CHURCH! WE TAKE UP A WHOLE PEW :) I LOVE IT!
just had to share, that i love this job (BEING A MOM!) Its the best in the WHOLE WORLD~!

Todd's Birthday

We had a party for Todd with Friends and family : ) It was fun. Our friends have a baby :) And Todd spent most of the time holding her :) He got a Wii Fit and Just dance which we all did :) It was so fun!
