Last day of school, First day of pre-school, and BABIES!

i don't know why, but i have been having a very hard time sitting down and writing these blogs. i love doing it, but the time literally just slips away! anyway, once again, alot has been going on. first off we had latoya last day of school which included a picnic and field day for them. i brought jordan and the twins along as well. here is a slideshow of the picnic as there are too many picstures to put on singly (i don't think that's a word ~ oh well) they chose teams and played games and had a barbecue! the kids really had a blast. you will also see some pictures from a park we took the kids to go play at:

next, since my last update, we have had 3 babies born to friends!!! many of you remember when i was talking about all the pregnant women, while, now they are all giving birth. i think this makes 7 down and 4 to go :). i also wanted to add a new truth to this, i was holding my brother in law's new baby, rilee (had nothing to do with the baby by the way), when i suddenly realized that i had no urge to have anymore. many will remember when i talked about all the women expecting that i made the comment that i regretted getting my tubes tied and i really thought i would want another one in the future. when my hubby and i left, i told him that all i could think of was poor alicia that she would have to get up every 3 hours or so to feed her and all the work that lay ahead for her. don't get me wrong, i enjoyed it when mine were little, but for once, i have no urge to do it again. it was very enlightning to me, i really thought i would always miss those days and always long for another one. the thought was very sudden and shocking to me. anyway, i thought i would share that! so, all that to say this, here are the new additions:

First was a baby boy to John and Lianne. J.T. was born on May 19th and weighed 6lbs. 12 oz. Isn't he a beautiful baby! here is his picture:

Next was a baby girl to Cindy and Joel (Cindy is my kids "adopted" grandmother's daughter) We have become friends through irene. Her name is Emelia Rose. She was born on May 26th. She weighed 8lbs. 11 oz. and was 21 in. long. Isn't she a doll!! here is her picture:

Last but not least is a baby boy to Dan and Beth. They are friends from church. Their "little" boy, Daniel Jr., was born via c-section. He was born on June 1st. He was 11 lbs. and 9 oz. I can't remember how long he was, but he looks like a 3 mo. old. I got to hold him at church tonight and kaylee came up and said "i put him in my backpack?" she wanted to take him home....lol. i also checked my girls baby books and they did not reach 11 pounds until they were 5 mo. old. anyway, he is very cute, here is his picture:


Finally, we had the girls first day of pre-school. they went on tuesday and loved it! they even brought home some papers. since jordan and the girls were in school, i took the opportunity to spend some one on one time with toya, so we dropped the other three off and went out for breakfast. it was nice and quiet :). the girls have already learned their teachers name by heart. here is the girls on their first day (didn't dress them up cause they are going to be doing alot of arts and craft type things), and a video as well. the video is a little dark, but you can hear the girls talk and say their teachers name (her name is mrs. kelley by the way), very cute! here they are:
