soo much fun....

First, here are some gorgeous pictures of our yard, God creates such beauty... right here in my back yard, I love it back here! Just a couple months ago everything looked so dead, but now everything is so full of color and life...

So those awesome pictures were taken yesterday. Then last night Jeromy and the kids went to pick up Aurora, and then went over to Laura and Jason's for dinner with several other families from church.... more trampoline fun....

And of course a video, these kids look like they are having so much fun!!

Hannah is sooooo cute, look at that face...

Great spread of food, but I was at work.... LAME! But I hear the group my start to meet Saturday night instead of Friday night, ummmm, I vote YES!
All the adults hanging out, visiting, playing games...Laura, hanging out with the babies.... remember- I should be with those babies, but I was sweating in a sweat factory in the shipyard, actually making containments for Jason's boat.Then as things were winding down, it sounds like all the kids didn't want the fun to end, so Kent stayed the night at Laura's with some other kids, too. And then Jeromy came home with 5 girls to spend the night at our house.... that's right 5!!!

Here's Jade, Julia, Tessa, Beriah and Aurora. Are these cute girls or what??Here's Beriah and Aurora who were giggling most of the night, sooo cute...They slept in Aurora's room....The older girls had a camp out in Jade's room... There was alot of giggling and laughing late into the night! Then this morning, I made pancakes and cut up apples for breakfast....yum!
Then after breakfast, we were on a mission to get more chicks... doesn't this box look like it's missing something???I think this chick is trying to escape...The girls checked out the dogs, but I could hardly stand the smell...that looks better... 2 cute little chicks...

Top Ramen for lunch, these kids make it too easy, and we had a pot luck at work last night and I got to bring the 7 layer chip dip home, so we all munched on that!There was some drawing time....

Coloring time....

I thought this was funny, Aurora and Beriah were playing barbies, and they had prom dress up and then the girls said there was an earthquake... yup... looks like an earthquake to me...

The girls separated for a while- some were on the computer, others were watching disney movies.

And then Jeromy wanted to do a fun project with the girls. Let them design their own T-shirts! And then he can practice his T-shirt making skills! So we went to Micheals and the girls each picked out a shirt.

Then the girls looked thru Jeromy's design books and had to pick a design that all 5 girls liked, cause that's alot of prep work for Jeromy... then he made the negatives, for this shirt, there are 3 colors, the most Jeromy has done, I told him to make it easy on himself but he said this was good practise. So the girls also, together, picked the 3 colors. Here's the 2 of the 3 negatives...


Here he's transferred the negatives onto the screens, and now he's getting the screens set up, and mixing his paint with his handy dandy paint wheel that tells him how to mix the colors he has to make the colors that the girls chose... Jeromy applies the white and blue to each of the shirts, then each girl got to put the pink color on... here's Jeromy's quick color blue demo...


Here's Beriah's turn...

Aurora's turn....

Tessa's turn...

Julia's turn...

Jade's turn.... but she's a pro now, she's helped Jeromy before...


Here's Aurora and Beriah's shirts, they picked out the T-shirt, the design, and even applied one of the colors onto the T-shirt! In pink are the words "Jesus is the Rock"Here's the older girls and their shirts....The girls Julia, Tessa and Beriah also have 3 more sisters in their family (and 4 boys) and Jeromy made matching shirts for the other 3 sisters, too! One day we'll let the boys make a shirt with what ever design they choose.

Speaking of boys, Kyle and Kent are here now! Kyle is spending the night tonight. Jade has her drivers class tonight and then we drop off the girls. Then we'll be down to just 4 kids: Jade, Kent, Kyle and Aurora. But right now there are 7 kids in this house....

Well if you stayed with me this far, I know this has been a long blog but we have come to the end. I am tired, but I just knew you'd all want to see these cool pictures!

Have a great weekend!
