Love this Cute Boy

We finally slept through the night without a baby in our bed!

Poor Hanna said she slept horrible!

It was nice while it lasted.

 It's been so nice spending time with just Clark while the other 5 kids are in school.

It's been so fun! 

It brings back so many memories when I just had Max.

He's so cute and growing up way to fast!

For Family Home Evening the kids love taking turns standing on the chair and choosing a song. 

Clark's song is always "Popcorn Popping".

We love you Clark Edmond!

Date Night with this Sweet Girl

Hanna and I went on a date night to the mall.

Hanna loves Chinese food.

While eating dinner she said, "there's something hard in my food!"

 It was her tooth!

We had a lot of fun together!

I feel so blessed having this girl in my life.

I love you so much Hanna!

Look What I Made...

I made 2 of these scarves for my sister-in-laws.

They are so easy to make!

Bow ties

A skirt (on accident) headbands and bows.

Finally made a beanie that fit Max.

He requested a beanie, the first one was too big, the second was too small and finally the third one fit.

Now Clark and Danny have matching ones.

Look Who Got Glasses...

MAX

He really just needs them in the back of the classroom, but he says he can see everything clearer.

Christmas 2013 at the Mt. House

 My Grandpa Gravell came to the Mt. House for a day with my dad and Debi. 

This was the first time my kids and Danny met my grandpa. 

Grandpa Milton Gravell is 89 years old.

 Grandma Susan with her grand kids. 

She made all the kids Christmas jammies.

Santa came and brought the kids p.j.'s; like always! 

This year Santa brought me an iphone.

We had fun making crafts!

We relaxed, played and enjoyed being with family!

Christmas Eve 2013

This year we had Christmas Eve at Cindy and Becky's school. We had our traditional Mediterranean dinner, which was delicious of course. The kids put on the Nativity Play. The kids tried to get Clark to be baby Jesus, but he wouldn't. We also played a really fun game and enjoyed being together.

2013 Christmas Card

Old Santa Pics.

The 1st pic., Max had no idea I sat him on Santa's lap. I distracted him.

In the 2nd pic, my kids are angels.

The 3rd pic. is priceless.

18 Months Old

All the kids at 18 months old.

Clark 18 months old. 

It was hard to get him to cooperate. I had to sit right next to him.

School Christmas Program

Hanna was the Red Candy Cane in her school Christmas program. 

She practiced hard and remembered all her speaking parts.

Hanna with close friends Savanna and Briley.

Van did a great job remembering all the words to the songs and sang his heart out.

He is the "angel" under the bright light in the back row.

Purpose in all Things

We recently found out that baby #7 will not be joining us at this time. I was 17 weeks along and the doctor found no heart beat. We know Heavenly Father is aware of our family and there is a purpose in all things. The hardest part was telling the kids, but we are doing well.

Baby at 11 weeks.

 

Proud Momma

Proud of these two kids of mine, both made the honor roll for this quarter! Hanna also received a citizenship award and was recognized for Sept. Student of the Month! Great job Max and Hanna!

Halloween 2013

Carving our pumpkins! 

Dad did the 3 older kids, Max did part of his, I did Daisy and Walt's and Hanna carved Clark's.

Ready for the Trunk or Treat!

Zombi basketball player, Zombi soccer player, Dracula, Kitty, Clown and Spider man.

I tried putting a mask on Walt, but the kids made fun of me saying, "Spider man doesn't wear glasses mom." On the way out the door poor Walt says, "I don't want to be bider man." Thank goodness I just had to remind him we were going to get lots of candy and he was just fine.

Hanna with her friend Ashlyn.

Daisy with her My Little Pony friends, Cirie and Molly.

Clark the cute little clown!

This was taken with the ipod on Halloween night.

Van was with grandma in AZ visiting Brody for his birthday.

Clark Misc.

Clark got a hair cut!

 (This is the first documented hair cut, but I think this is at least his third).

Clark loves pickles!

His new favorite activity is dumping the seasonings!

I had just bought a thing of brand new cumin and he dumped it all out.

Danny's 35th Bithday

Danny and I got to stay the night at the Golden Nugget Hotel in Downtown Las Vegas with out the kids, to celebrate Danny's 35th Birthday! (Last Thursday, October 17th). We left after I taught my preschool class and first stopped for lunch at India Palace, one of my favorite restaurants, Indian Food is super good! Then we went shopping and checked into our hotel. Danny decided to get an upgrade on our room, which meant we had to use our key in the elevator just to enter our hotel floor. In the lobby was a complimentary snack area. With free m&ms, nuts, jelly beans, chocolate covered raisins, apples and bottled water, even free Fuji water in our room. Our room had a t.v. in the mirror of the bathroom (which the kids screamed when they saw that the next day). We watched a movie in our room, because we were so stuffed to go out and later that evening we went out to eat at the Oyster Bar inside the Palace Station (which was Danny's request, we love the shrimp roaster).
My mom took care of the kids for us. She stayed the night with all 6 of them at Dee's because she had to leave early the next morning. Dee took care of them until I picked them up at 10:00.
Danny had to go into work, but I brought the kids back to the hotel to show them our room and swim at the pool. The Golden Nugget's Pool is super fun! It has a water slide that goes through a shark tank! Max carried Clark right up to the tank, he loved looking at all the fish inside.

Baby Number 7

We are all very excited to announce that baby number 7 is due May 3rd. 

Hoping for a nice momma and a healthy pregnancy!

 I made this fun collage with each of my positive pregnancy tests.
