Blue Crew

We ran the Lou Cox Memorial 5K today. Well, I shouldn't say 'we'... I should say Jonathan ran the 5k, the boys ran the kids run, and I took pictures :) We had 3 other families from the running group at our church join us. It was nice that the sun didn't come out for the race b/c it was steamy once it arrived! We had a fun time and the boys love the race!!!

Wknd Activities

We spent about 19 hours in the Fort on Fri-Sat. We arrived around 8pm on Friday night, and we had to leave to come home on Saturday at 5pm. But, it was well worth the trip! We had a shower for Beth and Reuben and then we had a cookout at my parents. It was a fun time to visit all of the Berry girls and see lots of nieces and nephews. (It's always fun to get the nieces/nephews side by side!) My niece Kate is 5-months pregnant for her second baby. It's funny... her and her sister Kami have both been pregnant for their first and second babies while I was having my second and third babies. Weird... how many people can say you have nieces who are pregnant at the same time you are! :) But, that happens when you have 8 kids in one family!

Have a GREAT Wknd!!

6 weeks to go!!

By the way, did I mention we're having another boy? Another mistake by the u/s doc... Oh well, we're just as happy to know! :)

Special Visitors

My sister Meagan and her 3 kiddos all came for a mid-week visit. (Thanks Ry!) Considering it rained literally almost the entire time she was here, I think we did pretty well keeping 4 boys and a girl entertained! We went to the Boonshoft science center one day and the Wright Patt airforce one day. The kids loved both! They also rode bikes and scooters in b/t raindrops and found a frog... which was a highlight! It was so strange seeing them all at bedtime. I have such vivid memories of being at my cousins when we were young and I love looking at pictures of all of us in our princess-girly pj's and sleeping on the floor together. Such fun memories!!

Rainy days...

We have had a lot of rain this week as well as last week. Last week, we had some craft time to pass by the rainy days. I love doing crafts with the boys. They really get into it too... if I want them to really, really love it, I make it messy... glue, glitter, puffy balls, googly eyes... the whole nine yards.

Don't Ask, Don't Tell - Volume 9

So I'm not really sure how this happened... they were playing outside, I was on the phone with my sister, I decided they could play in the water in the ditch (the weather was MUCH warmer than last time I let them do this!), they were laughing and having a great time... and then this. A literal face plant in the water... did Henry push him? Did he trip? At any rate, you would have thought he cut his arm off. Henry was trying to convince him that "it's not so bad Wyatt"... at least they got in a good 45 minutes of play time before it happened! It was actually a perfect time to move onto baths, dinner, and bedtime anyways! :)

Happy Mother's Day!

We had a nice day together as a family. We went to hike some trails at the Germantown Dam... it was a beautiful day out! The last picture is actually from our visit to Fort Wayne a few weeks ago. We went to my oldest sister's house, Tanya, and visited her and Scott. It was great too! So fun... Scott works on motorcycles, and the boys thought it was just too cool to see so many motorcycles in one place! We had a lovely visit. Tanya definitely has a gift when it comes to entertaining. It is never a stressed visit, everything is simple yet beautiful, and you come back feeling more rested. A very special time...
