A Week with Aunt Jill

Aunt Jill was so kind to fly to our house and watch our three kids while Don and I took a trip to Hawaii.  This was the longest and furthest we've been from our kids.  I'm pretty sure they didn't miss us at all.  They had quite a week with Aunt Jill and her crafts.  Aunt Jill kept us updated with frequent pictures of what they were doing and little videos too.  We were constantly looking at the pictures and videos..it made our vacation much easier knowing the kids were having such a great time.  Namah flew out on Saturday to spend a long weekend until we got home.  Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Aunt Jill and Namah for taking such great care of our kids and allowing us to take this big trip.  Thank you for all the pictures you sent and for making memories with our kids...they can't stop talking about their week.  View Album for more pictures.

A Week in Hawaii

Don was heading to Hawaii for work, and I got to tag along.  What an awesome week it was.  We woke up early every morning and headed to breakfast, and then spent the next couple of hours walking around.  On the days he had meetings I hung out by the pool or shopped around.  We had one day that was completely free so we drove to the North Shore.  Most of the evenings were work dinners.  I was able to watch the Pro Bowl practice that was on the Air Force Base.  I was standing on the players side so they all had to walk by me to get to their bus.  At the NFC practice I got Eli Manning's autograph and at the AFC practice I got Peyton Manning's autograph.  Unfortunately, it was pouring down rain so the autograph looks pretty bad.  The game was pretty awesome to be at too.  Our seats were great and Don got to sit with me for a little bit (he was there to work).  It was a great getaway, but I couldn't wait to get home and see my babies.  View Album for more pictures.

It's a...

We were so excited to find out today that we're having another boy.  We started this special day with a breakfast at the Egg & I before heading to the ultrasound.  There was no mistaking that this baby was a boy!  Cadynce and Donnie loved watching the ultrasound and getting to see their little brother.  Donnie was so cute in making future plans for sharing his room with baby brother.  He is planning on bunkbeds and sharing all his toys.

Christmas in Indiana

We spent two weeks in Indiana. We decided to drive through the day this year to make it easier on us.  However, the drive seems extra long for the kids when they refuse to close their eyes.  We stopped in Sikeston, Missouri like we always do so we have a short second day drive.  We had a fun time as always, but we did pass around a little bug which had us all sick at one point.  There are more than enough pictures to show what we did on our trip.  Enjoy.  View Album for more pictures.
