    When your 7th kid is on the way then you know it’s only a few months until you outgrow your family Chevy Astro 8 Passenger Van. So we have been on the Van hunt. Options are very limited. Ford E-350 or Chevy Express. 15 passenger or 12 Passenger. (there are a few other options but not in our price range or mileage criteria) So we just went for it. We chose a 12 passenger Ford. We are hoping it will be an amazing Van for our family for many years 🙂

    and yes it has a step for me and the kids to be able to get in 🙂

    Valentines Day

    No Comments

    the day of love was a success:

We took it easy and hung out at home this year. I was worn out from having family and friends in town and it felt good to get the floor mopped and just be at home. We had another fun family day today for Presidents day. We cleaned the cars and went swimming and watched the ‘old’ Annie movie. Life is Good.

    Everyone enjoyed the rocket launcher too. Ray was very good about sharing all of his gifts.

    Grandma and Grandpa Nettesheim came in the afternoon and brought him a Nursery rhyme book. They read the book to him and he ended up crashing for an afternoon nap!

    Raymond was funny about his cake this year. He love Team Umizoomi so I wanted to make him a Bot cake. BUT he wanted a Batman cake just like last year. His picture is up on the calendar from last year and we just couldn’t talk him out of Batman so… He got an Umizoomi Batman cake this year!

    That night we had all of the Netty cousins over for a party. Raymond wanted to play Duck Duck Goose and Quarter Quarter, so we did. The older cousins played Drawful on their Ipods and we all watched Penguins of Madagascar after presents, cake and icecream. It was a busy day. Ray was Happy and so excited to be three!

    Tracie and Mom stayed from the 3rd through the 10th! I love having family over and the kids love playing with cousins. We also get to see more family and extended family when my mom is around!

    Bren loved playing with Brewer. He was so happy with him. And they got excited when cousin Luke brought his puppy over.

    We tried to shop with these 2  – they were not good shoppers.

    Millie and Bren were pretty cute together.

    And Rose and Cedar played NON-STOP. Ray played when he felt like it and they all seemed to have a great time together.

    and Millie had to give Tracie some hugs and slobber kisses on the last day.
