Monday's News

Well everyone...I've been waiting quite some time to share this news with you, only because I wanted to make sure just HOW MANY there were in there....this morning they tell me that the word is...

ONE! Ryan and I were pretty excited. =) Due date: Nov. 15th!



Kinda looks like nothing really right now, and especially because my scaner (taking a picture of the picture) isn't really the best. haha. But there you have it!

It's just time.

There have been many good pictures in the last few weeks that just need to be on the blog. So here it goes. This will be totally random. =)

Some of you may know, I'm watching our good friends - the white's - baby girl Elle while Em finishes out the semester. I've got some serious pictures of the boys and her just hanging out. She thinks Garrett is the funniest person....so cute! And both boys are REALLY sweet with her, try to 'feed' her (aka- shove the bottle in the direction of her mouth) or give her passy back, give her the blanket, rock the car seat if she's in it, you know....or EAT the bottom of the bottle while she's eating...HAHA...check out her face. =)



And they've also been a good help in the kitchen....like today when I was making some brownies for a family that just had a baby. =) yum yum




and are you kidding me with this picture?! HAHA senior pic shot?!?

and of course, some time with dad...




and last, but def not least, this is AWESOME! hahahaaaaa

hmmm...

Some of you will watch this video and gasp a few times I'm sure, me on the other hand, not even worried. Is that bad?? haha. Garrett has recently taken up 'jumping' off the arm of the couch, or the end table onto the couch....oh my. He's only 17 months old....we're in for it with this one, I can tell. Does he get that from the Schweitz side?? Ethan, for the most part takes the role of the observer, but he's been seen doing his own stunts from time to time as well. haha. Enjoy!

Mr. Golden Sun

There's just too much. I haven't actually WRITTEN in a looooong time on here...sorry people. You'll just have to wait for that day. haha. Erin and Josh have made the week fly by, and the next 6-ish weeks will be the same. Starting Monday, I get to watch Elle while Emily finishes up her school year with the 3rd graders! WOO HOO!! Let's just be serious for a minute here. This last week I was like a zombie. Don't know what came over me...but now I'm back in the saddle, worked outside on the yard all day today and part of yesterday, and that was just the ticket! Good 'ol Michigan weather has started lookin good again, and I may have even a slightest hint of some sun on my face and arms from today. yesss!! At any rate, the yard is taking shape, and we will be putting some pictures up of that process here shortly. Stay tuned.

But for now, feast your eyes on these few from the past few days! Check out the boys' hair!! so cute!

First Ever...egg hunt!

Hippity Hoppin!

Well, just checkin in with a few updates! Josh and Erin made it safely here yesterday evening and we have been enjoying their company for 24 hours or so now. We've got a big day tomorrow, not only did Jesus raise from the dead, but Martha is hosting her first EVER holiday (not quite the same- but both miraculous) So, in preparation, I have talked with a few experienced chefs and gained hopefully enough wisdom to pull it off with some flare! Half the food was made in advance today, and tomorrow should hopefully be a breeze...little nervous about all the food fighting for time in the oven. But that's ok- who am I kidding, I eat everything even if it's bad. The boys look GREAT, Great Grandma Garton bought them some easter outfits and their amazing mom gave them a new doo this afternoon with aunt Erin holding them down! I was going to show you how cute they are, but can't get the pics to upload...tried 4 times. dang. but check back tomorrow to see some highlights!!

Wish me luck! Good thing I have lots of help keeping the boys entertained....woop!

spare time...

What do I do in my spare time? ooohhh, just build houses out of leftover boxes for the boys....ok, and myself to play in.



what do the boys do all day?? ride on their trucks, read books, eat, eat, and eat, upstairs, then downstairs, read some more, play catch with themselves, scoot things around on the floor like a car....the list goes on and on...





and Ry, when he gets a spare minute or two...plays. =)
