In the words of Michael Jackson....
" THE GIRL IS MINE"
Aeva was officially made ours on the 10th of April!!!!!!We just received the adoption certificate today...YAY!!!
What a beautiful weekend we had out here in Indiana! It was 75 on Friday and Saturday and we spent most of the day outside playing...This was our saturday evening camp fire dinner... Cassie got her hair cut really cute and short! I love it! #1 because it's cute and #2 because there isn't a battle everytime I have to brush her hair because SERIOUSLY, she has THE softest head ever.

MY man.( actually somewhat smiling..wow!)


MY dinner of choice...a big bowl of popcron, air popped, with no butter and just a tad bit of salt..yummy.


Miss Aeva chowing down her apple..





silly Max.





Cassie chilaxin' while she snacks.




Samantha loves cheese.







angry eyes.:)










We bought the boys some "big boy" swings and gave Aeva a spot for her own baby swing...5 little ducks all in a row.








I love him. and this picture..i think it's awesome.









We also played with sidewalk chalk before dinner and when we went to go inside, i found this note..what a sweety.












And finally, Max, showing off his mad guitar skills and dressing abilities.:)

SPRING BREAK WEEK..in pictures.
Before we get started though, here is Cassie with some girls from her class...arent they adorable?! And now..the start of our spring break.....



Yep. The flu. Cause that's what fun to do on spring break around here. Samantha got it first, Aeva got it and then me. No one else. THANK GOD!:) It was a doozey though. Aeva is STILL not eating like her normal self.


Though I still felt pretty gross, we went to the children's museum on Saturday.
We had so much fun..that place is AWESOME~



...walk like an Egyptian....




The boys were so funny in these lego horses..they LOVED it! ( check out their faces..hee-hee)





Looking at an X-ray of an Egyptian mummy..cassie has perfected the stance.







My little dino babies...






Then on Sunday I took the older girls to church while Tyson stayed home with 3 younger ones( Aeva was still having some "effects" of the flu...can't put her in the nursery)
After church we went to the skating rink because they were having FREE skating..and you all know with a family of 7, you can't pass up anything that is FREE!:) Mitchell walked out on the rink with Tyson and walked right back off....i think we have a little chicken on our hands!:)








MAx loved it but was more focused on playing the video games, so he only went around twice.









Aeva stayed in the stroller the whole time...still not feeling well and she was just happy to watch everyone.(we did bring 2 babysitters with us, so she was never left alone!:)










Cassie got pretty good at it..she quit holding onto the wall the whole time anyway..small steps people, small steps.











Sammie, I think,skated more than anyone. She CLUNG to the wall, but throughly enjoyed herself. They actually hid aggs all over the place and let the kids find them..some had coupons for free hotdogs, drinks, and even a dollar bill!! AND candy of course.:)








Once we finished skating, we went to my mom's for dinner and to do our own egg hunt...of course that had to be inside since we live in Indiana where the weather SUCKS! But first................. EASTER PICTURES!!



MY sweet Cassie













Sammie Jo. I love her.














Silly Mitchell...when he smiles you can't help but grin back!:)















And handsome Maxi, looking rather seductive for whatever reason.:)
















And finally my sweet Aeva. She should be officially ours ANYTIME. The paperwork has been sent to the judge who signs it and it's FINAL!!
I did find out that her paternal grandmother was adopted at birth and HER birth father was said to be Native American...Whatever she is...she is MINE!:)

















And we have to add one of sweet baby J. IS HE NOT ADORABLE! I love this little guy!(even when he does give us the flu!:)














Finally, the only family picture that was mostly good...with 5 little ones..it never quite turns out like you had hoped....oh well.


"And I hear the cry of every angel sing," Worthy Is The Lamb", and I hear the cry of every longing heart, "Worthy Is The Lamb"....and I will rise, when he calls my name, no more sorrow, no more pain, I will rise on eagle's wings, before my God, fall on my knees..and rise...i WILL rise."
Hope you had a blessed Easter...HE IS RISEN INDEED!
