I know I will forget to post a special post for Elsie on her birthday because of the holiday and all, so I will do it early. My sweet, energetic, hilarious, outgoing girl will be six on july 3rd. She was a surprise when we found out she was coming and she keeps surprising us everyday with her sense of humor and imagination. While I was in labor with her the fireworks at the stadium where going off to welcome in our own little firework (little did I know how true that would really be)!! Our life would for sure be less exciting without her around. One of my favorite things about her is that she will come home from church or after she watches high school musical 1,2 and 3, and belt out primary songs or "I want more" song into her microphone downstairs and the whole family can hear it, but at the same time I love that when she prays, like she did today, and without help, she will pray that our baby will grow well, and that moose (our dog) will too. :) We love you Elsie and wish you a happy 6th birthday on friday!! (hopefully we will be camping)

and baby makes....5!
In about 28 weeks, meaning I am about 12 weeks along (give or take a few) we will welcome in our baby number 5! Getting pregnant was not a shocker (cause it took awhile), it was the decision to have another, and it was also a very neat experience for me. We had an ultrasound yesterday and everything looks great. It is still amazing to me to just be talking to the doctor and look over at the monitor to see a little head and body on the screen and hear the fast beats of a heart. Then at one point the baby did a little wave with its hand. very cute. Anyway we are excited, I keep telling Jake having number 5 will not be as hard as having number 2 go through a bone marrow transplant, being pregnant with number 4, and then staying with her at the hospital with him.
I have been feeling sick but in a week or so it should be over. I do hope the pregancy goes fast, cause, dang, it is harder in your 30's!
p.s. Jake thinks it is a girl (I don't know why he would think that), while I am still holding on that it is a boy!

just this and that
I have been slacking in my motherly and wifely duties lately. With summer here I don't have to get my kids up and ready and off to school, we can just hang out and watch movies or just do whatever, or not do. This rain hasn't helped any.
Addie is finished with elementary school. She is pretty sad because she loved the 5th grade. She won a few awards including the principles award for being such a nice student. They had a reenactment of the civil war, and all parents had their camera's and video camera, all but me, I forgot, dang it. It was pretty cool, and they got to throw water balloons in the battle. That is another thing I have been slacking on, picture taking, everytime there is something to take a picture of to make the blog more interesting, I forgot my camera. Elsie is excited to go all day to school. Summer should go fast, it always does.
We have clinic yesterday and after a little problem with her picc line, almost getting it taken out,not being put to sleep when they were going to take it out, tears shed because she doesn't want the i.v. team called, they finally were able to get the picc line working again. Good for chloe but I was looking forward to not having her picc line out. She however doesn't want to get poked or have iv's when she gets her bone density fluids (which will be next week). She is looking good and the tapper is still on.
Spence and Tal and Avery are hangin with us until they are able to close on their new house, we are glad to have company although both Tal and Spence will be counting down the days to leave with my kids hogging all their time and attention. "Tal....Tal....Tal...wanna play the wii." "Spence....Spence...Spence, look what I can do! Well I don't care what Jake says, I like having them here. (haha)
The other day we had a massive hail storm, killing all my plants and garden veggie plants. Chloe was crying to me to move all the plants cause the flowers were all coming off. They were just going to have to die, I did not want to go out in that storm, they were the size of jaw breakers coming down fast. Rhen was crying it was so loud. So now our plants look bald.
