School, birthday and more!

This post will have a bit of everything! Annie started kindergarten at the beginning of September and she loves it! She is very excited about reading, math, going to the school library and computer lab, and of course riding the bus a mile to our house :) It is really cute and I still can't believe that I have a child in school! I am so used to all my kids being at home with me, but she was SO ready for school. She eats her little sack lunch (which I love making, I am a nerd...) in the cafeteria with her friends and loves doing the monkey bars at recess. I am very proud of her! Go Annie!

 Macey just celebrated her 4th birthday!! I can't believe this either..... I still think of her as my little Macey. Tiny and sweet. But she is growing and learning everyday! We had so much fun too! I made her a Littlest Pet Shop cake because she is all about the pet shops, we went to put put golf as a family upon her request, and dinner at the bird restaurant. For those of you who don't call it that you probably call it Red Robin :) It was so much fun! I am grateful for Macey and the happiness she brings into our home! I love you!

And of course here are the pictures :

A really cute picture of the girls with Rex. It really was so much fun!
And Last...... We are expecting our 4th little girl! Yes, it is true. Rex will be severely out numbered but we are all so excited!! I am 20 weeks and feeling really good. I have started feeling kicks and movement which makes being pregnant feel real :) I am due Feb. 10th and I can't wait to meet our little girl! I am so blessed! Just wanted to share the good news!

Our Little Camping Trip

Over the Labor Day weekend we decided to take the girls on a quick camping trip. There are TONS of great camping spots around here and we found the perfect little spot not far from home. I was concerned that it would be cold and the girls wouldn't sleep good but I was wrong. The weather was beautiful and all three girls sleep like rocks...... no one woke up. That doesn't even happen at home. In a nice warm bed. Anyway, it was so much fun! We all had a blast. Even being dirty and smelling like a fire we had fun family time. We had smores by the fire, tossed rocks in the river just down from out site, snuggled in our tent, and had donuts and bananas for breakfast. It was a great way to get away...... even close to home.

 Cute little Macey trying out her camp chair
Rex and the girls walking to the river, cute!
Annie posing by the pretty river. I can't tell you how many pictures there are of me when I was a kid "posing" by something. :)
Olivia loved throwing rocks in the river. All the girls did. Rex and I were trying to throw them all the way to the other side.We did this for like an hour. It is a lot more fun then is sounds.
Me and my girls
I love how the fire is glowing off their little faces. SO CUTE!
