Getting Ready>>>> Vote for your favorite name?

We will be having baby # 4 on Thursday @ 5:00pm! We are very excited and the days are not going fast enough. We have not decided on his name so I thought I would put it up for vote. Just to see what everyone else thinks. Our names are....

1. Jaram ( this is a mixture of jarred and Amanda)
2. Kelson Jarred - This is my fav.
3. Zackery- This is the kids fav.
4. Kaden- This jarred fav of the day! he switches.

So tell me which one you like in the comments!!!!!

This is what the kids did the first day after school . Veg in front of T.V I thought it was so funny, they didn't even realize that I took a picture.

This is Hunter favorite thing to do, licking anything that is made in the mixer.

We had to buy a car seat and a stroller for the baby. The boxes are always the best part. They had so much fun playing with them.

We started a new program at the house because timeouts didn't seem to be working and I was sick and tired of yelling. So we now have mason bucks! They get five a day and they can earn more for good behavior and loss them for bad behavior. They also have to pay to play the Wii or watch T.V. or play computer. It was so nice the first couple of days the T.V. didn't even go on. It was really nice and they came home from school and asked what jobs the could do to earn more bucks. So last night for FHE we made Bulletin boards for their bucks and a spot for them to put their stuff. I thought it turned out really nice. I hope that this program will work for a while. They can also turn their bucks in for bigger prizes.

1st day of riding the bus! * backwards

The kids getting off. Ethan did not like the bus driver because he yells at the big kids. But they seem to be getting use to it. It is great not driving to the school twice a day. I might start taking them to school just so the don't have to wake up so early. But really it is only about 10 mins different. So we will see.................

While the kid were at school, I made covers for the baby cradle. They turned out really cute. Hunter had fun handing me pins, he was very disappointed that he didn't have school.

They are in the mess of the kids. I had a perfect picture then all these kids crowded in. AHHHH

Waiting for the bus, we got there about 10 mins early. Ethan was really nervous, Makayla was excited. One of the other moms says that this driver is a yeller. So we will see how it goes......

Comparing.......

Hunter was 8.5.Lbs.

(Make some guesses in the comments)

1st Day of School..... Etc.

This is what I look like.... everyone I run into Asks " When are you due? I think I am Huge! Jarred called me a Umpa lumpa! Yesterday! ( not sure on the spelling)

Makayla 1st day of Second Grade! She had a great day and really likes her teacher.

All three of my cutie pies!

Hunter was so excited to go to preschool. He wanted to go at the same time the other kids did. He loves to get going in the more and hates to wait. ( Just like any three year old.)

Ethan's 1st day of 1st grade. He got Mrs. Tropea, Makayla's teacher from last year. He is so independent he got in her line and was like bye mom. He says there is a lot of girls in his class and he doesn't know any of the boys. He always has a lot of girl friends more than boys anyways.

Hunter falling asleep at lunch. I should make a collage of all of these. Ethan falling asleep in dads chair after he had just told me he wasn't tired.

Makayla lounging with the dogs. The dogs are going to go through withdrawals with the kids gone.

So while we were in Utah our salt water pump broke and the algae took over the pool. You couldn't see the bottom it was so gross. So jarred and the boys cleaned it out and now we have a swimable pool again. Thanks goodness because it helps get rid of Ethan's energy after school.
