What we've been up to...

So lately my life has been very busy with school and competitions and just plain L.I.F.E! I gathered a few (terrible) photos that I have taken somewhat recently so that I can at least update my blog a little =)

My INCREDIBLY dorky outfit hanging the morning of my SkillsUSA competition!!

Also in the headlines... my brother and I were both chosen to be inducted into the National Technical Honor Society. So on Thursday evening we enjoyed a nice dinner and then the ceremony!!

This year there were 7 Homeschoolers chosen for the NTHS!!!! =) I also noticed later in the eveing that Chris and I matched our outfits without even planning on it! We seem to have a knack for that in our family. (I am second to the left in the back and Chris is 5 in on the right in the back.)

Yesterday we celebrated Noelle's 7th birthday! We had a nice, fairly quite day but it was much needed amongst our busy schedules. Hopefully I can get the few photos up that I took soon!!

It's a....

GIRL!!!!!! After much wondering and anticipation we found out that our new sibling is a girl! It is kind of ironic that our dog had 7 girls and 3 boys which will soon be our count. It is a little wierd, but we will try not to think about that ;) Here is the sweetest picture of the baby...

To my dear remaining readers... I am still here and I have a real excuse to not be on the computer these days and that is because we didn't have a computer since my last post due to a nasty virus that wiped our computer out. Just within the past week have we gotten it fixed and entered the online world again. So what have I been up to?? Winning some medals, preparing for state-level competition in t-shirt design for school, and being blessed to find out I will be a big sister again!! Our new little one is due in June which seems fits in perfect and means we will have new life all over the farm!!

I have also been dreaming about when I can drive this car my grandfather keeps telling me about and it isn't even out yet!! I WILL be test driving it when it comes out!!

Here is my t-shirt design that I will be making some adjustments to (the "E" especially) and then competing at state level!!

Basketball!!

This year Chris is playing for a high school basketball team. His first game was Monday night and I was able to go and watch. His team didn't win, but they still played quite well. I am looking forward to attending more games in the future, so there might be some more of these kind of posts!! Plus I will be posting Isaiah and Noelle's game soon as well.

Puppies and Siblings Oh MY!!

The puppies are growing bigger and cuter each day!! Here are a couple pictures of cuteness at its best!

This little girl was sleeping with her legs crossed with her head resting on top =o

Lindsey <><

10 Puppies!!!!!!!!!

I apologize for delaying this post, but the last puppy wasn't born until 12:38am (He is the only one with his own birthday!!). I was exhausted, yes I know that sounds dumb it was Lacey having the puppies, but I had been up Friday night and Saturday night off and on to check on her. As the title says, she had ten puppies!! We have 7 girls and only 3 boys!! It is kind of funny because it is very similar to our family (6 girls 3 boys). They all make the cutest noises ever!! Even though this was a very unplanned pregnancy, we will enjoy them for now until they climb out of the pool and makes messes and get into EVERYTHING!! All the puppies are black with some white markings on them.

Lacey is such a great mommy!

This one kept climbing on top of Lacey =0

They love cuddling with mommy.
