Applesauce

I'm trying my hand at making applesauce (inspired by my friend Erin!). I have 2 crockpots going of sliced/cored/peeled apples (I borrowed my sisters pampered*chef gadget). I'm gonna let them cook all day and hopefully have enough to can this evening. We bought a half bushel of golden delicious. I didn't fit them all in the 2 crocks. I of course wish now that I had counted the number of apples we used! Oh well. Jas loves golden delicious so we'll eat on the extras. I'll try to report back tonight how many jars I got out of 2 crocks!!

A week as a family of 5!

We've been doing this whole family of 5 gig for over a week now and I must say we've transitioned nicely. The boys are amazing...all of them. Cole is such a great baby and the bigger boys just love him (and all of his stuff).

Jason has been amazing helping me to recover. I'm still dealing with some pain and issues but hoping to take it easy today so we can get back to normal this coming week. I'm eager to start feeling like myself!!!!

Cole...

We didn't bring our laptop to the hospital- so I'm updating via blackberry! Cole's stats are on the boys blog (click on picture). I can't believe I can still call it the boys blog! Lol!! It will get a new name and some updating!! Until then- here's some more Cole lovin' for ya!!

This moment....

I just said goodbye to the boys....they're headed to papa's.

I'm going to the hospital tonight to be induced.


I'm gonna have another baby. I'm quite overwhelmed. It was hard to let the boys go. It was hard to try to explain to them what was going on. They thought they were just going on "bacation" at papa's. Max knows about the baby....Jake is clueless. Their world will change the minute we come home with the baby.

I'm excited. I'm anxious. I don't want to forget this moment!!!

Right now.....

I have a rambunctious 3 year old that loves Cars, Toy Story, monster trucks, potato chips, going outside, his little brother, pizza and riding in the van.




And an 18 month old that loves sweets, giggling, scaring mommy and daddy with his roar, Cars, Toy Story, everything his big brother is into, his paci, being outside, and giving kisses.

And a baby on the way, due any day now, by Thursday at the latest ;)

I'm sure this baby will complete our family. And as excited as I am about this baby's arrival, I want to remember my family of 4 as we are right now. I love these two little boys with all my heart. I know they'll be great big brothers and protectors. I pray that this transition to a family of 5 is a smooth one. I pray for a safe delivery of the new baby, and that my boys will love this new baby as much as they love each other!!!!

We've been truly blessed and I know we'll continue to be blessed!!!!
