what we've been up to!

So when does school start? We have been keeping busy with activities. Ashton did t ball and is almost done with soccer. He has done really well and it is good to see him work at something. Marin continues her gymnastics and is awesome. She moved to Level 2 and is learning to do handstands on the balance beam. She is also doing horseback riding and smooth talked her way into grandma buying her some new boots. I was surprised she came home with red cowgirl boots. Not her usual choice. Yesterday I saw her dismount the horse bareback while it was walking. Her teacher is helping them to learn what to do if there is a "horse emergency". Greyson is a bundle of energy, loves to be outside, wants nothing to do with the potty and wants to wear a beanie when he goes out. WHATEVER! Mesa is doing some physical therapy and actually loves going to all the games and the park now, which is different than before. She is so sweet and brings a wonderful spirit into our home.

Keep em coming.... but not yet

My older sister Deanna had her 7th baby a few weeks ago. Her body might be getting a little worn out. She had to have a C section for the first time and the baby revealed fat rolls and was 9 pounds 5 ounces, plus the cord was wrapped about his neck just a few times. So all in all the C section turned out to be a very good thing. They named him Brock and I wonder what brave woman will marry him someday when he tells her that he has 6 older sisters. YIKES! Baby #3 is on almost ready to make an appearance in Arizona to my little brother and his wife.
And I am sad to report that my baby sister has been banished to the hospital and is on complete bed rest with her triplets. She is fighting every day to keep things under control and she actually fired a nurse the other day from ever coming in her room again. I laughed remembering that I did that about 3 times myself. Why do people think you want to hear their life story when you are having contractions, uncomfortable, hungry and tired? I think all the Labor and Delivery nurses should have to be on bed rest for a week just so they know how horrible and annoying it is.
I have a prayer in my heart for her every second of the day, pleading with God that those little spirits will stay in her belly for many more weeks. I know she will be blessed because she is a wonderful, loving and fabulous person!
