Our babysitter got ahold of our camera and took some cute pictures.
Day 149 - Sad news
No picture today but some bad news. Dave's dad called today and shared news with us that his step sister Katie died. It came as a huge shock and is terribly sad.
Day 148 - Liam and "Keylo"
Liam snuggled up on the couch to watch catoons and Cleo made herself comfy on his blanket. Liam LOVED it!
Day 141 - Cleaning the fridge
Today I cleaned out the fridge and this is what I found. Eeck!
Day 140 - Nose Piercing
Today I went to get my nose pierced. Becca went with me and it was a little scary. It hurt for a quick second and my eyes welled up and then it felt like a sharp piercing most of the rest of the day.

Liam and Gabriel make laundry difficult sometimes. They loved to romp around on the bed and throw the clothes.
Day 133 - MOPS

Went to MOPS this morning. They gave away rolls of T.P. with undies tied to the top for all the moms who've had potty training success. It was pretty cute.
Day 132 - Life is good
It's Tuesday and there's nothing better then being a stay at home mom. I love my boys.

Today was Mother's day and turned out to be a very special day. Dave and the boys took my to Dos Hombres for lunch after church. Dave had the boys do hand prints and fremed it. He also gave me a cupcake rack and transporter (ya know, so the frosting doesn't get smooshed). He knows me too well. After naps Liam and I went to see Earth on the big screen. We had a good time together and he loved the movie.
Day 128 & 129 - Youth Leaders retreat
Dave took a few adult youth leaders, myself included, to Denver for a youth leaders conference. It was really good! We had some great discussions and it was totoally worth the trip.

.JPG)
This morning we babysat a couple kiddos from church while we worked in the yard. We weeded, mowed and then put down some top soil and more seeds. After the kids went home we went to the nursery and bought some herbs, veggies, a Rhodedengren bush, some strawberries and some flowers. We gave up on trying from seeds and went straight to plants.
We hit Target on our way home and Liam got some new golf balls since Bailey ate all of his.
Day 125 - Liam Boxing
This evening Liam played boxing on the Wii and won 3 matches. What a good little boxer!
Day 123 - Youth group

Tonight was youth grou and I got to leave the boys at home with Natlie. It was so freeing to not have the boys with me. I got a lot of cute pictures.
Day 122 - Day with Dave
Today was Saturday. We didn't do a whole lot but then we went to Jamie and Saun's for dinner. Goods times with good friends.
Day 121 - Scrapbooking
Kristin came over today and we did some scrapbooking. I love SBing with friends. I don't get as much done cause we talk a lot and share tools but it's SO much fun. This was one of the pages I did. Two pages in over 3 hours!
In the evening we went to see the homeschool play which was hilarious! They always do such a good job. After the play we went over to Kristin and Brad's to play games. Becca stayed with the boys all evening until midnight. What a wonderful babsitter.

I didn't take this picture, I was at home with the boys. Today our church and many other local churches had no services in buildings. Instead, we held worship services in the community but serving others. There were tons of locations all throughout Grand Junction where people where helping others.
115 - Glenwood Part 2
.JPG)
Our second day in Glenwood we went up to the caves. It was so fun! I really enjoyed my time with Dave. Having no kids around really freed us up to take our time, eat anywhere and not have to worry about naps. It was so awesome!
114 - Glenwood
So, Becca and Lexi came to watch our boys for a night. What wonderful girls. Dave took me to Glenwood. The picture explains it!
113 - Show off
I have no clue what he was trying to do besides pose for the camera. Silly boy!

So, Gabriel aparently likes Mike's hard lemonaid! JK, there's nothing in the bottle.
Day 110 - Babysitting
Today my neice and nephew came over for a few hours. The kids wanted to play with the water table and instead of simply getting wet they got muddy too. SO. . .they all went into the tub. I learned that our tub is by no means big enough for 4 children. Haha!
Day 109 - Sunday
Same ol' Sunday stuff. THought this picture was cute with the boys holding hands in the car. :-)
Day 108 - Scrapbooking
I worked on some scrapbook pages today. For our upcoming Silent Auction I wanted to have something more personal to auction off. So, I did 4 pages and put them in a new book. This page was my favorite.

Day 107 - Cleaning the church
.JPG)
We went to clean the church today. Liam tried the Urinal on his own. I just thought it was so cute ans snapped a picture. Dave wasn't so happy with me taking a picture of his son peeing. LOL
Day 106 - "Key-low"
Cleo is a strange cat. She often will take her naps laying straight out on her back. Liam used to call her "KEY-O" missing the "L". We tried to teach him to put the "L" in. Now he does put the "L" in but just in the wrong spot. "Key-Low".
Day 105 - Yoga
.JPG)
We got the Wii Fit and Liam loves it. He watched so intently and we realized he can copy everything we do. His favorite is the yoga. So he found this black flat piece of plastic and he calls it his "balance board". Today he did yoga with daddy.
Day 104 - Liam and his cars
Today Liam lined up all his cars. It was a little parking lot. He wouldn't let Gabriel touch them. He was SOOO proud of himself.
Day 103 - oh Monday, Monday
Mondays are not always the funnest days. Dave works in the morning and then I meet him at the church in the afternoon to clean. Liam normally misses his nap. So, once we got home Liam was playing in the yard, got an owie and wanted his daddy to hold him. In now time, Liam fell asleep.
Day 102 - Easter Sunday
.JPG)
It's Easter. The service this morning was WONDERFUL. Liam went to children's church and learned about the resurrection. Gabriel was an angel and napped in Dave's office the whole morning. Dave had to run the media board so I sat alone but it was a wonerful time for me to just focus on the Lord. The youth did a drama and the sermon and music was just amazing. I really felt touched by the Lord.
Day 101 - Saturday
Today was Saturday. We didn't do much at all. Liam tried to give Gabriel a hug at lunch time and Gabriel didn't react idealy. LOL
Day 100 - Yard work
So, today we worked in the yard. We picked all the weeds in the front yard, raked out a lot of the wood chips left behind from the mulch we used and then I planted all my flower bulbs and Dave planted his cherry tree which is now starting to bud. THe boys had fun hanging out in the yard with us.
Day 99 - walk to the store
Not much happened today but when Dave got home and after dinner we decided to take a walk to the grocery store. It's preyyt close and a nice walk. It was good to get fresh air.
Day 98 - Dinner?
.JPG)
Nothing happened today. It was Dave's day off and we did nothing which was actually a good thing. So, I took a picture of dinner. it was great.
Day 97 - Swimming Lessons
.JPG)
Liam's been taking Swimming lessons. He HATES going under but LOVES being in the shallow end where he can walk on his own. I think he'll continue to get braver and more confident. We're going to do the next level of lessons later this summer.
Day 96 - The boys house
.JPG)
Dave's mom sent some money for the boys to get some outside toys so we bought them a little house. It's been sitting on our porch in a box for sometime. The weather had been cold so we hadn't put it together till today. The boys had fun watching mommy and daddy put it together and Liam tried to help Dave.

Day 94 - BIG DAY
So, today was an exciting day! We went to my nephew's birthday party and right before leaving to head over there I started getting a migraine. I toughed it out. I should have stayed home. Once we got home I went straight to bed. Dave took the boys with him to church to clean so that I wouldn't have to deal with them or hear them downstairs. I slept for a couple hours. I woke feeling WAY better and to a great surprize! Dave came in with an envelope in his hand. It was from the US Citezen Imigration Services. We'd been waiting 8 weeks for this to arrive. We opened it and WE WERE APPROVED!!! It was a pretty for sure thing that we would be so we weren't worried but getting the letter made it so official and meant we could move onto the next step. So, we're that much closer to bringing our baby home.

Day 93 - A full day
.JPG)
I went to lunch with Becca and Lexi (high school girls from church). Then after dropping Lexi off Becca and I went to the mall. I got a cute new pair of heels and a black hat. In the picture Liam is wearing my hat. After shopping and dropping Becca off I went home, put the boys down for a nap, Dave went to the grocery store, we had 2 couples from church over for Pad thai and egg rolls, then we ended the night with some Wii. Fun day!
