Can't believe how old they're getting....









Camping at River Nook with the Cuskey's








We went to Kernville and met up with the Cuskey's and camped for a night! Wish we could've stayed longer! The kids all had a blast playing in the water and fishing! It was fun to just hang out and relax. Right before we left Danny and Bill went down the river in the innertube's and then I got talked in to going with the wives! Glad I got pressured in to doing it cause it was quite an adreline rush and a very fun experience! Let's put it this way...we were in an innertube, while most other people are going down the river in the rafting BOATS! =) It was a blast! I didn't get any pictures, but I'm sure I'll post some later from the Cuskey's.

On a more personal note...

this post is more for myself than anything else. i needed to get a visual reminder as to why it's not a great idea for me to get pregnant again. if i had "normal" pregnancies i would love to be "trying" right now for a third.
as most of you know, i don't bake my babies long enough. for some crazy unexplained reason, i just can't keep them in. we go back and forth constantly about do we try again or make danny's vasectomy appointment? it would be a very long road ahead if we gave it one more try. it would be bedrest at 20 weeks....which how the heck do i do that with 2 other young children, a husband who works days at a time and me, who can't even imagine laying down all day for months having to let other people and my husband do EVERYTHING!!!!! not to mention progesterone shots once a week and whatever else they would do to monitor me closely. and all that doesn't even guarentee us a healthy baby...or a baby at all. probably the scariest reason for not getting pregnant again is the fact that i don't even know that i'm in labor. with taylor i got to the hospital at 9cm dialted and with devan i got to the hospital at 4cm dilated ONLY thanks to my sis-in-law Dawn who put it in my head that day that maybe i should call my doctor. SO with all that said, i think that danny and i have decided to make that vasectomy appointment and put our future of more children or not in the Lord's hands. The Lord know's that we would LOVE to have at least one more. this decision is not easy for us, cause once we make that appointment for danny it is COMPLETELY out of our control to have more kids. danny and i would both like at least 3 kids....BUT we are SO thankful for the 2 beautiful healthy girls that we have been blessed with. Just to put the word out and to keep your ears and eyes open, we would like to adopt. we are not sure when or how...cause it is awfully expensive....but again, it's all in the Lord's hands. so spread the word!!!!

Say hello to our little friend....

And here is our god-daughter, Sophia Danielle. She was born on the 30th, weighed a perfect 6 lbs 9 0z and was 19 1/2 inches long...We are so excited and blessed to be the god-parents! We love Jeff and Amy and are SO excited they finally have a new addition to the family! We love you Sophie!!!!!! Taylor is SO excited to meet her, she's been talking about her non-stop about how she wants to babysit her, but that she's not old enough yet. Tonight at dinner she even prayed that Amy would get home safely from the hospital so she can go visit her! So cute....
Saturday night we had a 20 year badge ceremony dinner for guys at Danny's work. Fun night, yummy food, and sexy husband!! =)
