Since it's been over a month since my last post, I thought I should take the 2+ hours that it will take me to update our blog. We're having serious computer problems so getting pictures is quite the chore, but hopefully will be worth all the troubles. We have been very busy this past month. Here's a bunch of pictures that shows what we've been up to.

Jaren's is getting ready to wrap up another baseball season. They have not been overly successful when it comes to winning, but I have seen major improvements for the whole team. This is the first year that the players do the pitching the second half. It has slowed the games way down, but it's a great way for the players to learn. You'll have to wait until another blog for pictures since those didn't get transferred for some reason.

We were also excited to find out that we'll be welcoming baby girl #3 to our family. If you ask Jaren what he thinks about having another sister, he will reply, "I can't wait to go to college." :) I told him that God would never give him 3 little sisters if he didn't think he was a good big brother. This summer will involve switching the kids' rooms around since Jaren has a much bigger room than the girls do. The kids are trying to figure out how they want their new rooms decorated.

Our delicious DQ Ice Cream Cake...decorated just for a girl.

Kurtis has been very busy on the farm with spraying, trucking and clearing trees just to name a few things. They had a large tub grinder come and shred about 1-1/2 acres of trees that they had cut/knocked down. It was quite impressive and Jaren has now decided he'd really like his own miniature version for little sticks.

Our hard working man!

The impressive tub grinder

The girls and I had to wait awhile for the next semi to come in so we had fun climbing on the logs and taking pictures.

The kids have been busy staying cool by swimming in the pool and even had the chance to go down the slip-n-slide with their cousins. They were even able to talk dad into swimming with them and found it to be a lot more fun than when mom decides to get in. :)

Jaren is by far the rowdiest in the pool and burns tons of energy.
Erica loves wearing her floaties and hugging tight to Morgan the Monkey.
Bethany loves swimming and lounging in the tube to get a sun tan.
Some fun on the slip-n-slide.

Hopefully it won't take me quite as long to update next time, but I make no promises. :)
