Lots to talk about!

Ok so I have so much to tell everyone, and so many cute pics to go with it, but they are all on other peoples cameras, so you will have to wait for them. First off, my little Corban turned three on Dec. 4th, he is getting so big, in AGE that is, he is a whole 23 pounds so he is a little pipsqueek, but what is new, this is the story of my kids growth history. he has started primary, and I can hardly believe it, he is way too small, but he does well. I love the little man, he is about the cutest thing ever, and silly as i'll get out.

next, I have great pictures of the kids playing in a nativity. They were so cute, Rayney was an Angel, Dagan and Corban were shepherds and Lincoln was baby Jesus. I was a little was a little worried about Lincoln being baby Jesus because he likes to move know, but amazingly he just laid calmly in the little manger, and waved his cute little arms every once and a while. The kids were so cute with him, they kept leaning down and kissing him and held his hands. They all did such a good job!

Well next I guess is Christmas, we spent it at my parents house. We had our traditional, porridge for breakfast and since Dad snuck in a handful of almonds, lots of people won the prize this year. The kids of course had a blast, and all and all it was a good day. So huh that about all there the pics will tell the rest.

Well another very exciting adventure has come our way, I am the proud new owner of a vinyl business, I am going to call it Say It in Vinyl. I am having so much fun with it, creating new and fun stuff for the store and custom jobs for people. Plus I am just excited to decorate my house with it, I have to paint it first though.

let's talk Lincoln; he is doing so great, I took everything for granted with the other kids. Everything came so easy for them, and I was spoiled because they seemed to do everything early making it easy on me. Crawling by four to five months, and so independent. Well Lincoln was still having surgeries at that point and had no time to learn to crawl or even gain muscle strength to hold his head up. Every time he does something new it is the most emotionally exciting event to happen upon this family. Well he is almost 11 months old now, and when my other kids were just starting to walk, he has just started to crawl. yah, Lincoln, he has been progressing so fast, just about three weeks ago he could still hardly hold up his head, in the last three weeks he has gone from hating to be on his tummy to creeping backwards, then finally forwards, to crawling, he is slow, although getting faster each day, and he grunts with every inch; letting us know how much work this is for him, but still he is a trooper and plugs along. Having Lincoln has opened my eyes so much, the kids adore him and he is such a blessing and a joy.

OK, so after reading the next bit of news, I know many might think we are crazy, and maybe we are, but just know we are so excited about it!

SKOTLYND SKY IS ON HER WAY!!!

she will make her presence in this world in June, bringing our family to a tally of seven. Rayney is of course so excited for a sister and the kids can't wait, they have already expressed that they believe we need six kids. I told them to start praying for twins then, as I am getting tired of being pregnant, but it's just one and who knows, number six will probably happen someday! Right now I am just focusing on number five.
Well I think that is all the fun stuff, pics I hope will come soon, love you all and take care!
