Welcome to the Country...

If you are wondering why I never update the blog anymore, it is because we have moved! We are now officially living in "Hill Country." I thought that living in Childress was pretty much living in the middle of nowhere, but I was wrong! We now live in a town with no stoplights, no fast food restaurants, one tiny grocery store (where milk is about $5), and one gas station. Population: 704. We have to drive 45 min to get to Walmart, church, hospital, you name it. And I am too cheap to fork over the money for internet (it'll be more than double what I paid in Childress). So here I sit at the library with my kids pulling books off the shelf while I enjoy what little time I have connected to the real world. :)

I know. It sounds like I am complaining. It's really not that bad. We have actually really enjoyed our time here so far. And we have done lots of fun things. I've made some friends and they treated us out to a multimillion dollar ranch where the kids got to go swimming and play on a playground made by the people who made the sets for Pirates of the Caribbean. So yeah. Pretty cool. Couldn't have done that in Childress. We are renting which sounds like a down side to living here, but I am LOVING it! Because that means no living in a construction zone!!!! The shower head pops off...call the landlord! The hot water not working...call the landlord! I say that until rent collection time when I cannot believe how much more it costs for us to rent than to pay TWO mortgages!

There are deer everywhere, and Brock is really looking forward to shooting one. He has set up a feeder in our "backyard" (we live on 18 acres). It's been great until last night when Tyce broke Daddy's binoculars. Sad day for Daddy.

But yes, we are loving it. We do miss all of our family and friends in Childress though! Sorry about the rambling. Like I said, no internet at home. Makes people go crazy. :) haha!

By the way...

Yes, I'm terrible because I haven't talked about the fact that we are pregnant again!!! And the terrible part is that I'm already 25 weeks! So this post is to tell all of you who may not know that we are having a.....

BOY!!!

I'm due October 30th which means that I'll most likely be having a November baby! Who knows? Maybe on my birthday. :)

Dance Class

Kyler was at our house playing one day when I caught this...





Brek had taken the boys upstairs to play and it had been a little too quiet for a little too long. You know how that goes...you don't really want to check on them because they've either gotten into trouble and you don't want to see what kind of havoc they have created or they're actually playing nice and once you check on them they're done playing and need attention from you. This is all of them dressed up for dance class! Brek had put headbands on herself and the boys (Tyce took his off immediately so I missed that picture).
