Christmas and Savannah's 8th b-day!

Our Christmas break was very long, all of the kids and Jason got sick with a 24-hour flu bug, but each person had it twice so we would go one day with one person throwing up all day or night, be ok for a day or two, and then someone else would get sick with the barfs. I guess I should be glad that they weren't missing school, but we didn't really get to do anything too exciting because of it. I was the only one who didn't get it! Santa did find us and everyone was really happy on Christmas day. Jason turned 34 on Christmas Eve - man is he getting old or what?!? Savannah and Ava in their Christmas Jammies.

Leah in her Christmas jammies - man she's so cute!

Savannah had a Christmas program at her school and she got to shake the jingle bells while her class sang and she was quite proud of herself.

Savannah also turned 8 on the 28th of December. I cannot believe I have an 8-year-old! Where does the time go?!? She had 2 friends come with her to "The Princess and the Frog". I think she had a pretty good day and she is looking forward to getting baptized very soon. If you ask her what the highlight of her 8th birthday was she will tell you that her Aunt Anna gave her a perm. She has been asking for it for months now and I must say that she looks pretty darn adorable with it. I don't have a picture of her with it yet, but I will take one and post it soon. It has been so nice and easy to do, I even love it! She loved having the "salon experience". Thanks Aunt Anna for making her feel so special!

And I finally finished Leah's Christmas stocking! It took me too long not to share and post pictures! And I didn't post any other pics of Ava so I will post this one because she is such a diva! This girl is constantly singing and has taken quite a liking to Taylor Swift, really I think she might be a diva someday!

We saw our baby for the first time yesterday . . . .

But we didn't see any of its "gender parts". That's right - since it is our last we are keeping it a big surprise. Things look good though and the little jr. was just as lively as could be.

Most of the time he/she had his/her leg up like this just hanging out. He/she must be pretty acrobatic!

Toes to kiss! Even though I'm scared of my ability to take care of 4 kids, I got a little excited when I saw this cute little thing.

On a different note, if you scroll down you will see our Halloween pics. I entered Jason's into a photo contest and he won the category for "funniest" costume. Hey - I got a free 8 x 10 out of the deal.

Halloween Happenings!

Halloween was a hit as usual! We like Halloween at our house.

Savannah was a wizard

Ava was a "Diva"

And Leah was a cute little piglet

Jason was dressed like a girl

And I went as myself . . . . A witch!

Suprise!

Well, I'm sure almost everyone has heard the news by now, and I know I am not all that great on keeping up with my blog (like anyone reads it anymore), but in case you didn't know - Yes, it's true - we are expecting our 4th baby in March! This has come as quite a surprise for us, a shock actually. I am about 17 weeks along, feeling good, I haven't been sick. Mostly, just trying to get used to the idea of having 4 kids, and 2 of them only 21 months apart! I hope I can handle it all, and in case you were wondering - this is the LAST Miner to join our bunch. And, I won't be sad if it's a girl!

Our kids are so excited, Ava has been super sweet to me and worried that if she's naughty it won't be good for my baby.

Savannah has been coming up with names, some of them a little crazy. Yesterday she was thinking of the name Stella and Emma.

Leah, well Leah is just at a fun age right now and I am loving it. I love it when she says "Mom", it is the sweetest sound. I'm sure it will be hard for her to have to share the limelight!

Ava's first day of Kindergarten!

Watch out, she's in Kindergarten now! She was really scared for her first day. She cried all morning long because she did not want to go. This didn't give me an opportunity to be sad, in fact after that morning I was ready for her to go! But she really had fun when she got there and was so excited to go the next day.

Savannah's first day of school!

Today Savannah went to second grade! She was too excited to eat her breakfast and she was all smiles as I walked her to the school.
