Cherry Time

It's cherry mania around here lately! The kids and I went to our neighbors where we picked 120# of cherries. Then we spent the next 4 days freezing, canning, and drying them.

51 pints of sweet cherry jam, which my husband has claimed to be his for mixing with BBQ sauce. The kids and I like it on Ritz crackers with some cream cheese.

Another giveaway!

2009 Kids!

I can't believe I forgot to post on our new additions. Last Thursday our 2 oldest does gave birth. Victory had triplets(B,G,B) and Praise had twins(B,G). These pictures don't do them justice...they are sooo cute! I will take more pictures and post them next week when life slows down:)

Happy Mothers Day!

Happy Mothers Day to all the special Moms out there. Have a great day.

Happy Birthday to my Mom who is 21 yet again. I don't know how she does it but she is always turning 21 or was it 19???

We're Grandparents

Thursday was a busy day. I had a dream that the goats had triplets, and then I woke to find Victory not herself. After brushing up on labor signs I figured she was in early labor. We checked on her every 1/2 hour or so, and then I just got a chair and sat with her and read a book. I called my friend Dalyn and she came over to check her out. Within five minutes of Dalyn being there, victory started pushing. Talk about great timing! Victory struggled a bit not really knowing what was going on but had 3 beautiful kids. Boy, Girl, Boy. It was exciting and nerve racking all at the same time.
While Dalyn was there she checked Praise and thought she was going to be soon also. After Victory had her kids I went into the house to eat and relax a bit. We kept checking on Praise but wasn't noticing any changes. Jordan did a check around 7:30 and said Praise was fine. I decided to check her out(to look at the back end) and when I went out there she was pushing!!! I ran back in to get the towels and let Rob know what was going on. She delivered twins Boy and a girl.
It was very exciting, being our first time. But I have to say I was so exhausted by the time I went in at 10pm, I basically passed out on the bed:)Both Mama's are doing great and they are very attentive.
