The Next Chapter

Man life has been going by so quickly, and I will try to fill you in on the last 3 months.  First I went camping with the Barendregt side of the family (for those who don't know that is my mom's side of the family).  We went to Island Park which is the usual place that my family goes, except we rented the family campground.  It was so much fun!!  It was just me and the boys and they had a ball.  This was the 2nd time this year that I had taken the boys camping on my own.  We love our dad, but he just works too much!!  I hadn't been able to go camping with my family for the last 2 years, so I was dead set on going.  Jase and Gage had so much fun playing with all the cousins, it was too cold this year to do very many things in the water, but they enjoyed playing in all the mud.  I took pictures with my mom's camera, but I still haven't downloaded them to my computer, so those will have to come another day.  The best story of the trip was the night that I got scared by the wolves (coyotes)!  It is a funny but long story so if you want to hear the rest, ask me sometime and I will tell you.  The worst part of the story is that my oldest brother told me that I acted like the stupid girl on all the terror movies that does all the wrong things.  Thank Heaven for ornery older brothers who love to tease!

Second we've moved! 

Yep we are back in our old subdivision, but living in a different house.  This house is a little smaller, but has about 10 times more yard, which I absolutely love!!  So much room for my boys to run and play!  It also has a long drive way so that boys can ride their bikes up and down it without going onto the road!!  Jase and Gage have spent tons of time outside looking for bugs, worms, and just about anything that they can catch (except spiders, we step on those)!  We have been sick these last couple of weeks though, so we have had to stay inside.

We had to plant trees and grass, above is a picture of the backyard before we planted 

The boys helping dad level the dirt around the trees

 Different angle of the back yard after it has been planted, and Shane has done a great job at mowing it!

 Of coarse the boy had to get into the mud!! Ryker above-Jase below

 Boys being boys

Needless to say they have had a ton of fun outside 

A couple of weeks ago I took the boys to a pumpkin patch, and Jase had to pick the biggest one that he could carry 

Gage had a fun time just wandering

Last-I am pregnant!!  Most of you know this already.  I am due April 6th and we are excited, Jase and Gage love to kiss my belly.  Jase things that it is going to be a girl, and daddy thinks that it is going to be our last.  We will see who is right.
