W4torock just won't cut it since I will have 5 to rock now but don't really like w5torock! lol Still keeping url or whatever its called ( no comment B!!) but would LOVE any and ALL suggestions- maybe just maybe if I can get it done and pick ur idea and you have a need for any of my baby things I have been making like a crazy pregnant lady I'll send ya one:) Last weekend - no lie ( I have neighbors to prove it!) I stayed up till 2am and 1 am since my hubby was gone with my boys and my girls were gone with gparents- I learned how to make a bib- a REAL one this time and soooo excited about it and thought up some other cute ideas( even my sewing friend Nora approved of the work!)- if I can ever get pics to download I will post!! I did pay for the no sleep part though because started having contractions every 7 min ALL sat night but made myself drink LOTS of water and took a much needed nap after church so all is good- even though I dooooo want to meet my man- he does have a name BTW..... BRIGGS ISAIAH WALSER..... I want him to cook fully and this time I just have this feeling he is going to late !!!! Any guesses on his bday- curious to know since usually by now I have a baby!! lol

All these babies....

So many people I know are about to have a baby or have just had a baby or have a baby who needs much prayer... so here are two that have blogs that need our prayers: Kayleigh and Stellan- it makes me feel so blessed to have 4 healthy even though at times crazy kids running around and 1 on the way- the count down is on.. about 5 1/2-6 weeks left!!! It makes me take for granted that I can have a home birth ( more on that another day - I know some of you might not know we are having a home birth- maybe April can guest post all the FYI's on homebirth she is the expert:)!!) and I can go get an ultrasound for "fun" and not to see what else a doctor has to say about my unborn child being able to survive or not..... so pray for these babies above and for my friend Jenny who just had her baby boy Hudson- sooo cute! Also pray for my friend Carrie who has 2 little boys ( under 3 I might add!:)) and her soon to be 3rd boy Mr. Graham will not turn so they are planning a c-section April 28th and I know that weighs heavily on her mind right now. Trying to download pics but having some probs with that so pics to come of a zoo trip, outdoor fun, and MAYBE a belly shot Ash-- not sure yet if you guys are ready for Big Momma :) xo

Yes I do know what day it is....

lol! So what if it is the 16th and we played Easter games ( I did hardboil the eggs though so all the yolk didn't go everywhere!) and dyes a few eggs today-- it was fun, the weather was beautiful and it kept the kids busy pretty much all afternoon! The last two pics are for you Ash.... here's our garden now- it is a growin'! Pretty soon we will be able to enjoy the fruits ( umm vegetables ) of our labor! :) AND the pic of Petunia holding something in her mouth... for you Nora since you were over and witnessed the yuckiest frog ( yes Julie I thought this frog was gross!...) I have ever seen and tunie running around the yard with it in her mouth and the kids chasing her around yelling "Noooooooo"!!! :)

what me ... perfect?

I think not!! People do ask me all the time-- how do you do it? And really I have no clue, but I feel like God has given me the patience to get through the day... except recently--- I have not been as filled up as I need to be and have been in a rotten mood-- Lets take Sunday for example..... this is long and, maybe boring but as real as it gets ....I woke up tired - the story of my life huh? lol. We had the yard sale Sat and it was AWESOME- I think we had people there constantly and not one person gave me a hard time about price (?? I guess I really shouldn't question that but...:)!) then we had a family cook out at Paw-Paw Ken's and bless his heart he gave the kids the biggest Easter goodies/baskets ever- in fact we don't do Easter baskets any more because he pretty much supplies them with enough candy and toys for the year! lol Thanks sooo much Paw-Paw... OK so Sunday morning- Easter all in matching brown and blue-- awwww how cute huh- WELL I DON'T FEEL CUTE!! I feel like shamu ( a brown shamu because my dress was brown...) and the kids were acting up a little - there comes that patience thing that I soo didn't have Sunday AND it was my sweet hubby bday. I got up extra early only to have the boys wake up early too and I didn't get to fix Jeremy his bday breakfast:( Add this on to rushing to church- having to fill in for Sunday school with 18 4 year olds then rushing to get to lunch..... by the time I got to lunch to see the family ... well lets just say I was a bucket of tears!!! :( I felt so silly, so vulnerable, and like such a failure as a mom since we had no eggs to hid this year and didn't even get around to dying any :(!!! So I did get myself together and am sure my family thinks I'm NUTS, but it was just one of those days. Now I see Satan was getting the best of me-- especially after this post I read today by Laura and the email I got in my inbox from Proverbs 31- so just to keep it real I DID end up having a great day with my family just not a good start and didn't want to seem fake with all the Easter pics and me knowing how rotten I felt half the day:)! thanks for reading my story :) lol and really.... enjoy the EASTER PICS-- I do have dome cute kiddos to cheer me up ! :)

Easter Picture overload!!














































So here are the Easter pics--- and Daddy's bday since it was on the same day! My mom had an awesome cake made-- can u tell who it is??? and even though I was not in the best of moods- I truly was and am thankful my Father God sent His son to die for me and I always think ..... what a glorious sight it was to see an empty grave!! :)

Little baby face....











Today I went to get a 3d/4D ultrasound of little boy Walser....... he was being very stubbern and laying his face right in my placenta- eww kinda gross for a pillow I think!!lol and the umbilical cord is right at his head too so hes gotta feel squished in there:) He finally turned half way so heres what we were able to get-- he has such a chunky face already-- and for sure his daddy's chin and lips- He kept opening his mouth and laying his hand all over his face:) The tech even said she could see hair on his head in the 2d we did first.... I can't say if I believe this though as NONE of my babies have hair, but maybe?! I can't wait to meet him in person in just a few weeks:) Enjoy!

Say Cheese....











I think something has happened to me over the last few years..... I am getting to LOVE things like gardening, sewing, cooking... u name the "homemaker" things I love to do it well....... except laundry and dishes! lol I also have grown so much this year ( ok YES I know literally I have grown but talking about spiritually.....) God put on my heart to homeschool a l o n g time ago and I just shoved it off-until this last year----- as you well know this year was our first year and I can't say enough positive ( and some negatives) things that I myself have learned---- it is WAY hard some days to balance school, chores, appointments, and just me time, but God has truly shown me how to be a mom, a teacher, a wife, a friend- even if I don't see many of you because of school- and just today I really got to thinking/thanking God for all he has blessed me with. Ok off that mushy gooshie wanna see what we did today??? Well U ARE!! ...... I have also really been into teaching the kiddos where things come from ( our garden being a great homeschool activity!) and we started getting raw milk- don't be grossed out!- its just straight from the cow- milked fresh not pasteurized or added anything. So I found this farm who has it nearby and one of my fav food blogs had a post about making your own mozzarella cheese, ricotta, sour cream, buttermilk, and butter all from raw milk- you just have to learn to use all the parts ( cream, whey from cheese etc.) so today we made butter and mozzarella cheese- go to that blog I linked to above if you wanna try out-- or come by for a taste- its REALLY good and I can't wait to make more mozzarella when our tomatoes get to growin!!!

Another one of my weird things I like to do now is sew...... no I am NOT growing my hair long and making me and the kids matching dresses and overalls ( Jeremy said he would halt homeschool if that ever happens! lol) I have been making burp clothes and paci clips and today made these bibs ( well I bought the actual bibs from Ikea...) but did do the owl and the popsicle on front. So on my todo list is to get way better at the sewing part and sell these babies ( umm items.... no selling BABIES!) on Etsy or make for people who are having a baby- but right now I gotta get MY baby- no name- cutsyfied! :)

And just FYI- all my dear friends .... YOU made me this way- To my friend who eats SUPER healthy - thanku , to my gardenlovin friend-thankyou, to my craftlovin friend thanku, to my cooking/baking friend thanku and to all the others that just put up with me-- LOVE you lots and THANKU!!

My little man....




I noticed a few months ago one of Cash's eye was turning inward, but I only noticed in pictures... since I take SOOOOO many it was really starting to bother me so at his 3 year old check up I was going to ask gr.- well before I even got the chance she too noticed it and recommended going to see a specialist... Jeremy took him last week and sure enough he has a lazy eye and hopefully patching his eye two hours a day for the next 4 weeks will help if not we will have to look into surgery and we found out his eyes are just like his Daddy's-- Not so great :( ( So THAT is why he sat so close to the TV?!! lol so here is my little professor and pirate AND do you notice anything else about my BiG Little man?????

That long??

I always check my friend Ashley's blog to bloghop and mine is at the VERY bottom with 2 weeks under it!!!!! We have had soo much going on so I can't say I am just laying around waiting for baby---I am totally NOT keeping the name a secret btw ... I am just NOT 100% what it's going to be!lol So with about 7 1/2 weeks left ( wow! This has actually been the best pregnancy so far but......my body is ready for little man to be OUT and starting to have that lazy, tired feeling all day long- not so great with 4 others wanting to play:)!!) so why the break? For one we haven't had that great of weather to go camera experimenting and two I decided about 2 weeks ago I would relocate all the kids rooms giving the boys the big room, Kayla wanted a "older" kid room with the loft bed ( which was Emma's room, but she was always to scared to sleep in it!lol), and Emma picking out black and white to do her new room in.... I am in a decorating, time CRUNCH to say the least! So Daddy is hard at work painting and I am getting rid of a lot of extras- come see me at the yard sale we are hopefully going to have not this Sat but next....... and on and on I could blab..... but sleepy- I think I am ready for a baby to slow me down! lol Good catching up and see ya around!! :)
