We can't believe you are six years old! It seems like just yesterday we were waiting to meet you! You bring so much joy to our lives. You keep us smiling with your funny expressions and your sense of humor. You love to ride bikes with your brother although you are not a fan of the heat and sneak inside sometimes when Aiden is not looking. ;-) Your favorite inside toys to play with are cars or animals. You will be starting first grade this year. You actually enjoy school and do not give up easily. If something is difficult, you keep a positive attitude and keep on going (just like your Daddy)! Your brother is your best friend and you always think of him first. You are a busy boy! It is very hard to take your picture because you are always on the move. You are mechanically minded like Daddy and want to know how everything works. You amaze me with your ability to fix things and problem solving skills. You love your baby sisters and are their protector. You recently told me you were so glad we have Arynn. You still love to cuddle and even though we don't hear it as often, we still get requests to sit in the recliner and rock you. We love you baby boy! Happy Birthday!</div>

You helped Momma and Daddy celebrate their anniversary.<br />

You are my right hand man. I honestly don't know how I would make it without you. You walk with your baby sister when she is fussy and you have a great deal of patience with all of your siblings. You take good care of your dogs and are very compassionate when it comes to animals. You might have your Poppa's tender heart. You enjoy reading and listening to audio books. You tell us you want to be a farmer when you grow up. You are a hard worker. You help your Daddy with yard work and love spending time with him. Recently you and your brother took a float trip with Daddy and Uncle Beef to the Buffalo River. I am still hearing stories about your overnight excursion!</div>

You are starting to suck your thumb but I'm not too worried about it becoming a habit. All of your siblings did for a short time. You are still wearing 0-3 month, size 2 diapers and you can almost fit into a size 2 shoe. You are growing up too fast baby girl. We love you!<br />

We love Dixie Cafe and eat there way too much! On Saturdays from 11-4 they have Family Day. You can order an adult entree for $6.99 and add a kids meal for $1.99, this includes a drink and <em>free</em> dessert for the kids. Since the girls don't eat a lot, we just order two kids meals and they share with the boys. We can eat at a sit down restuarant for the same if not cheaper than what we pay for fast food. Not a bad deal for a family of seven. We even have our favorite waitress who knows our drink orders if that tells you how often we visit! </div>

You are sleeping very well at night. Your wake up around 8:00 in the morning, eat and sleep until 9:30 or 10:00. You eat on demand during the day, usually every 1.5 to 2.5 hours. You take naps whenever your siblings let you have a break. ; ) You nap after dinner and then stay awake from 8:30 until 10ish and sleep until you "dream feed" around the time Daddy leaves for work. I feel so blessed to have a baby that sleeps well!</div>

One night after church, I sent the girls to get ready for bed.
I forgot their dresses zipped up in the back and they would need help. About the time I remembered and walked in to check on them. I walked in on this conversation.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ava: "Addy, you turn around and Sissy will unzip your dress." </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Addy: "Okay" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
{I ran to grab my camera.} </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ava: "Okay, I'm done. Now, Sissy's going to turn around and you need to unzip mine." </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Addy: "Okay."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Sometimes they fight and yell but they truly love each other and work to help each other out. Their bond is so sweet it almost makes me a little envious. ;-) I hope they always stay close and rely on each other. I know Arynn will be right there with them soon! We sure do love our sweet little girls.</div>

You are smiling a lot these days. You always have a sweet smile for your sisters and brothers. You are awake from 9:00 until 11:00 at night before you nurse one last time. Then you sleep until 5:00, you nurse again and sleep til around 9:00 am. You are getting to the stage where you think you have to nurse to go to sleep. During your awake period before bed, you talk and smile. Everyone else is already asleep so it is yours and momma's one on one time. I look forward to our visits together every night. When you wake in the mornings, your brothers and sisters climb in the bed with you and love seeing that same sweet smile.</div>

Your face is still broke out and I'm not sure how to fix it. Maybe time will make it better. You went with Momma to her 6 week postpartum visit and Dr. S thought you were adorable.

Jake used to work second shift and we weren't able to have a night out, but he has been on days for about year. Our date night consists of dropping off the kids (nursing babies go with Momma) around 5:30, dinner and usually some type of shopping/errands. When I was pregnant we would buy groceries so I wouldn't have to go during the week with the kids. We try to pick up the kids around 9:00.</div>

I know it is a luxury and most people don't have a babysitter but I encourage you to make time to talk to your spouse. Even if you just have to put the kids to bed earlier and have a date at your house! I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful husband! We cherish our time to talk and the kiddos enjoy visiting with the grandparents.</div>

Easter fell
on 5th Sunday and at our church we have specials during the evening services. Aiden started taking guitar lessons last fall but only got to take them for a few months. He is still practicing and knows 3 chords. At Christmas, he played Silent Night and I sang with him. He wanted to play for 5th Sunday and Ava said she wanted to sing with him this time. Aiden worked on writing down his chords for "Jesus Loves Me" and they practiced together. Austen decided to join in last minute and Addy was not going to be left out. Ava had a bit of stage fright, but Austen was able to carry them through. Addy had a wardrobe malfunction and was without shoes when they started singing. After Nana buckled her shoe, she showed up for her part. This was the video Nana took with her phone. Enjoy!</div>

The
Friday before Easter, we had plans to go to the Memphis Zoo with our friends the Tims and Witchers. We woke up to lots of rain at our house and were unsure if we should make the drive just to be rained out. Thankfully our friends suggested the Children's Museum and the drive to Memphis was worth the sweet time of fellowship we had with our friends.</div>

Altogether we had 17 kids, ages 1 month to 11 years, and 5 adults. (Mr. Kent met up with us a dinner time.) It is funny to see other people's reactions to our group as we walk by. Lots of people count, some shake their heads in disbelief, but it is such a joy to receive compliments. At dinner that night, multiple people (including the manager) commented on how well-behaved our kiddos had been. We had a wonderful visit with our friends and a great start to our 3 day weekend!</div>

Poppa's birthday was at the end of March. He usually heads to the lake around his b-day time, so I made sure we got to celebrate before he left. We like to take the grandparents out to eat for their birthdays, just because we are quickly running out of room to entertain at our house. One of our favorite restuarants we like to go to for big events closed this year. So we decided to cook and we took dinner to Nana and Poppa so he could stay in his comfy chair.</div>

A few weeks ago, Jake and I were able to attend a marriage retreat. I have been trying to get caught up with <strike>everything</strike> blogging so this is behind, better late than never!<br />
<br />
Last fall, we attended a <a href="http://www.titus2.com/" target="_blank">Maxwell</a> conference with our good friends the <a href="http://www.theresroomformore.com/" target="_blank">Witchers</a>. (It was not the first one we had attended with them, in fact we met their family for the first time at a Maxwell conference in September of 2009. Back when we just had 3 kiddos and they only had 5, before we needed 12 passenger vans!) At the conference last fall, we were blessed to meet another new family, the <a href="http://timsfarms.com/" target="_blank">Tims.</a> Candyce sent me a sweet card a few months later letting me know she wanted to keep in touch. We had exchanged info but she had misplaced it and googled us! I'm doing good to remember my own name, let alone someone else's! She later sent a package in the mail for Arynn and I finally got around to calling her back. I do have good intentions, but I just can't seem to get it all done!</div>

We kept in touch and she told me about a marriage retreat coming up in the spring.
I told Jake about the retreat and passed the info along to Stacy. Jake begged for me to go, but I wouldn't commit because the retreat was too close to delivery day, especially since our babies like to come late. Then Stacy told me they were definitely going and Candyce was too, I couldn't miss out on a chance to hang out with these wonderful ladies, so we signed up! We prayed for an easy recovery and we ended up going with our 3 week old baby girl! No regrets we had a wonderful time!</div>

Jake and I were looking forward to spending the weekend together, but we were both more excited about spending time with our wonderful friends. We enjoy visiting and letting our kids play together, but sometimes it is difficult to carry on a conversation while keeping up with our little ones. We knew this would be one of the few times we would have the luxury of uninterrupted adult conversation!</div>

<a href="http://www.fortrock.org/" target="_blank">Fort Rock</a> is a family camp set up like a fort/town from the 1800s. They offer family camps (Lord willing, we will be attending in the summer) and marriage retreats. The speakers for this retreat were <a href="http://www.solvefamilyproblems.org/" target="_blank">Dr. S. M. Davis</a> and <a href="http://www.duggarfamily.com/" target="_blank">THE DUGGARS!</a> I had purchased a DVD from the Maxwell conference from Dr. Davis on <a href="http://vimeo.com/18810379" target="_blank">reverence</a>, which I highly recommend and I was excited to be able to hear him in person. There were so many key points we wanted to remember, so during our retreat, we bought a collection of 150 of his messages. Jake has been enjoying listening to them on the commute to work and I have been listening to them at night before bed. There were multiple things he talked about that really hit home. Sometimes it's easy to get discouraged but we felt so uplifted after leaving this retreat. Not only is it helping our marriage, but a stronger marriage benefits our children.</div>

There were lots of activities including a zip line, archery, tomahawks, rifle range and horseback riding. I used the "only 3 weeks postpartum" excuse for the zip line. But honestly I would not have attempted anyway! Jake was the first in our group to do the zip line, Kent and Stacy followed. Jake liked it so much he did it a second time. I feel like if the weather would have been better he would not have ever gotten tired of it!</div>

Jake signed up to ride horses without me, but didn't get to go. At the end of the day, they asked if he wanted to help take the horses back to the barn. I got brave and decided to go with him. Stacy and Candyce were going to watch Arynn. I was on my horse for literally 1 minute and it did not want to listen very well. Jake told them if there was any question on whether or not I could control it, I needed to get a different horse. I decided I would rather stay and not get a new horse! When they returned, Jake said I made a good decision because I wouldn't have liked it.</div>

Saturday evening Jim Bob and Michelle arrived. Before their speaking session we played a few games. I'm pretty sure Jake and I could have won the "newlywed game" if we were called. It was fun to watch the other couples' anwers. We also played a game where everyone stood up and as they called certain situations out, you would sit down if it applied to you. The last couple standing won the prize. Jake and I were pretty close to winning that one but he had to sit down on "if you have ever painted your wife's toenails!" I can't believe he admitted to doing it but he has done that for me almost every pregnancy! He's such a wonderful husband!</div>

We ended the night with a visit with the Duggars. They truly are precious people. I am working on speaking to my children in my "Michelle voice" but I need lots of practice. I admire their dedication to their family and God. It is refreshing to be able to speak to someone who knows what you are experiencing and has not only survived but their family has thrived. I pray God will grant us mercy and grace as He has for their sweet family. We ended up leaving that night and didn't get to finish out the last session on Sunday morning. We heard it was just as great as the others. The whole experience was wonderful and Jake and I feel so blessed to have been able to attend.

You are still wearing a few newborn outfits, but the selection is limited. It has been really cold this past week so you are wearing lots of sleepers which only fit if they are 0-3 months. You have officially outgrown a newborn diaper. Your face has started to break out, probably from being under a blanket to eat while at the retreat. All of your siblings had this problem too, you get your sensitive skin from your Momma. I can only use the Pampers sensitive wipes on you because everything else was causing extreme diaper rash. Thankfully I got a great deal on them from Amazon, but that is for a later post. We are enjoying watching you grow, but you don't have to do it so fast! You are such a blessing to our family, we love you Arynn!</div>

Unfortunately, Arynn was pretty fussy and I didn't even get my camera out of the bag. :-( But the food was wonderful, she made an awesome dessert and I got more photo albums! I only need about 500 more!!!<br />

On Wednesday, my actual birthday, we celebrated with Nana and Poppa Kenneth. Nana wanted to have it on my birthday even though it was church night. We went to their house for pizza, went to church, then we came back for cake. They got me a gift certificate for a much needed pedicure! I feel so blessed to have wonderful parents and in-laws!<br />

My last birthday in my 20's. Where has the time gone? Somedays I feel like I should still be Aiden's age! I can't imagine how my parents feel to know their baby is almost 30. I remember when my Mom turned 30 and it was a big deal, black balloons and I was thinking..."I'll never be that old" and now I'm almost there. Birthdays are a blessing and I am thankful for everyday, no matter how young or old I am! Although to hear my kids tell it I should be getting mail from AARP.<br />

Austen asked the other day "Momma, are you really old?" Me- "Pretty old." Aus- "Like really, really old?" Me- "Yeah" Aus-"Are you like as old as Ms. ______?" (An elderly lady in our church) Me- "Not that old, but pretty close!!!" Out of the mouths of babes. :-)Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13801025903846932121noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7526115778857381946.post-56311075735547816922013-03-19T13:00:00.000-07:002013-03-31T23:14:57.941-07:00Old Washington<div style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;">

What do you do with a new vehicle? Make plans for a road trip! Actually Daddy had planned this trip for awhile, the new van just meant we had extra seating and could take Mimi and Nana with us. We headed to <a href="http://www.historicwashingtonstatepark.com/" target="_blank">Historic Washington State Park</a> for the Jonquil Festival. We were hoping for something a little more old fashioned and it wasn't exactly our cup of tea but we made the best of it and got some cute pictures. We are looking forward to going back in the fall when they have <a href="http://www.historicwashingtonstatepark.com/calendar-of-events/calendar-detail.asp?id=75992" target="_blank">Frontier Days for Homeschools</a>.</div>

It's hard to take a road trip without stopping for breakfast at Cracker Barrel! We tried to see my cousin Cody who manages this CB, but he didn't come in until 2 that day.</div>

The Jonquil Festival is a major event with lots of crafts, music, food and games. We didn't know how big of a deal it was until we arrived. It reminded us more of a fair atmosphere, and the music was super loud when I was trying to take these pictures. Which explains the distracted subjects...</div>

Away from all of the action, there was this huge magnolia tree which the boys really enjoyed seeing. I forgot the exact age, but is over 100 years old, so neat to think of the changes the town has seen in that time frame.<br />
