Hey everybody! It's a miracle!! Sorry it's been a while. So school started yesterday. Russell is in 2nd grade and Cooper started kindergarten. They both have great teachers. Cooper was really excited and Russell was a little bit. Kyle and Avery are still home with me and so I do have that to hang on to. The summer seemed like it went really fast and school is starting sooner and sooner every year. We are doing good. Billy is working his buns off as usual and I hardly ever see him between work and church, but at least it's a good busy. Our prayers go out to my sister who has to be on bed rest for the rest of her pregnancy (3 months) and my brother-in-law and his leg.

I hope everybody is doing well and has what they need and is happy.

hey everybody, sorry i have been slacking. What? It's only been 2 months since i last posted!! Where does the time go?
We are hanging in there. Russell and Cooper are in little league and both have 2 games a week so we are going to 4 games a week( AAAAH). Russell is in machine pitch and Cooper is in tee-ball. It is very fun and painful to sit through!! All the kids are growing to fast. I am so glad it's getting warm. I love them playing outside. I have to keep sunscreen on Kyle because he is so white. Avery is getting so big although she is small and petite. She is in a fun stage right now. It is fun when they can sit up and eat some normal food.
Billy is working his buns off and seems to get more done now that the days are longer. He always has a project going.
Just like the say happy mothers day to all the wonderful moms out there and hope you are appreciated and well taken care of.



Avery's first pony tail!

Looking up!

This is Easter Sunday right before church. The first Easter dress I have ever bought!!This is the boys and Kaydence coloring easter eggs. I made them take their shirts off so they wouldn't stain.

Happy Birthday Cooper! We love you.

The boys camping out in the living room. Billy got a new tent and it had to be "tested"

Avery at 5 months ready for Valentines Day!


Russell and one of our pupps!


Cooper, Avery, and Kyle. This is the cutest!

Cooper kept this box that we got something in and said he was going to make a bed out of it. I didn't really think anything of it until I went to check on the boys before I went to bed and sure enough, Cooper was sleeping in it. He is a funny guy!!

Cooper turned 5 on March 4th. He will be going
to kindergarten and I am finding that hard to
believe. He is a nice kid.

Cooper in his shirt he got from primary for having a birthday.




Cooper and his knife he got from Santa. He loves that thing!

We took Russell and a few of his friends bowling for his birthday and he is the only one I didn't get a good shot of. Oh brother.

Cooper

Kyle

Austin who beat everybody including billy!!

Avery is a cutie pie and very fun. Getting so big!

Cooper got a hold of the clippers and gave himself a hair cut. Every kid has to try it. Billy fixed it but we thought it would be funny to see what he would look like like and old man. He thought it was going to stay like that. Very funny!!

Cooper gave himself a "hair cut" so billy had to fix it. We thought it would be funny to see what he looked like like an old man. He thought Billy was going to leave it that way. Very funny!!

We survived Christmas. The commercilism of it all is about to kill me but it is fun to play santa to your kids. I like what our family does though- we make our gifts for each other. I think it makes it more fun and meaningful.

Hey everybody! I know you are all shocked that I am updating my blog. It seems like every time I go to do it some body needs something. We are all safe and sound here in the small Ervien home. We survived Christmas. Its seems as though it came and went so fast but is kind of depressing seeing the chaos it brings when it really doesn't have to be that way. Society has made it so commercialized I almost don't want to go anywhere the whole month. It's fun to play santa though.

Hey everybody! I know it's been a while. I have tried to get a new background for my dang blog but I can't. Here is an update that is long past due. We survived Christmas. Everyone is getting so big. Christmas came and went so fast for me this year I couldn't believe it.

She is Here!! and other fun stuff!

Kyle turned 3 on 10-18-08

Avery after just being born. Very cute!

Sorry to all of you who have anxiously been awaiting the pictures of my new angel but it has been crazy and sometimes I would rather take a shower in my 10 minutes of extra time than use the computer but I'm doing it now so here you go....

Well I had my baby shower on Sat. and got lots of great things. Thanks to all of those that helped and contributed. It was fun!. I only have 4 more weeks left. It really did go by fast.
Russell started school and it's nice to get into a routine again. He goes all day now so he comes home really hungry and tired. He likes school so far. Cooper and Kyle play pretty good together. Thay are my big helpers. Our dog had 7 dang puppies about 2 weeks ago so it's their job to take care of them and keep me informed about what is happening. They do a really good job. One time I looked out the window when the puppies were about 1 week old and they had a tote lid and had the puppies sliding down it. Cooper at the top and Kyle catching them. I had to tell them the puppies were to little and they can't be doing that. The puppies have thus far survived! Talk to you all later. It's lunch time!!

Hi everyone! I am updating my latest and actually putting pics up if you can believe it. I learn how to do something new every time I am on. I had the big ultrasound on Friday and got a lot of cute pics and a video. It was very fun and exciting. Billy was able to go with me so that was great. We can't wait. Only 10 more weeks!! The boys love to feel her move and kick. kyle seems to be the most excited. He is always saying he loves his baby. He hugs and kisses my stomach all the time. Russell and Cooper are excited but they get impatient waiting for her to kick. I hope everybody had a good 4th of July. Next up: SCHOOL. I guess I should go get Russell some new clothes. Until next time.......

Okay everybody!! Sorry for not updating. I always thought when we got a computer that I would use it so much and I got all these wonderful things in my head of what I would do but then I realized I actually had to sit down and learn how to do them-- I am not patient but I am trying to. Most days I just forget because it's not a big priority on my list but I will try to do better. Things are good here. I'm feeling bigger but good. When you are pregnant you think 9 months is a lot but when I think about how complicated the Lord made our bodies, it's really not that long. I'm just glad I'm not an elephant who is prego for like 3 years!
Everybody keeps asking us where we are going to put the baby-- I just say we'll open up a drawer for her! As if a baby takes up a lot of space. It's the babies stuff that takes up all the space. I don't know actually where we will put her. In our room in a crib I guess until she is old enough to sleep on the bottom bunk with Cooper and Kyle!!! Oh my. I just keep telling myself it will all work out in the end.
The boys are good. Russell has resumed himself as the boss and I have to keep reminding him that he is not although Cooper and Kyle pretty much think he is. He lost another tooth today so hopefully the tooth fairy will remember to come tonight. Cooper has been on a toot for the past few days. He usually minds real well and isn't so rowdy, but no so since Sunday. He probably needs some attention. Kyle thinks he is as old as the older boys until it comes to cleaning up. Suddenly he is "too little" to do anything. I don't fall for it. Billy is staying busy with his business and becoming obsessed with landscaping projects. It's looking really good out there.
That's about all I have so I hope this will keep you guys happy for a couple days. I'll try to write again in a couple days!! Lyndee

Well I'm sure you all have heard- because I called everybody, but it is true... I'm having a girl!!! These boys won't know what hit them!! We are very excited. Thank you all who prayed for a girl for me- it worked!!

Mother of Boys

Shoes in the kitchen,

Jeans on the floor,

Basketballs lying at the back door

Living room carpet shows signs of wear.

The fridge and the cupboards are constantly bare.

The toilet seat's up, it's stuck that way.

The sports on TV blare all day.

Racetracks, footballs, all kinds of toys

How did you guess, I'm the mother of boys.
