~Touched by Adoption~

This is Seth giving daddy a big kiss.... Oh how we wish now that we could have brought him home when we were in his country the first time.. We would be enjoying him at home now then. Taking him camping and fishing and traveling to Yellowstone Park and all the other places we will travel... These will also be Bella's first camping trips and to Yellowstone also. We can't wait to take her with us on all of our travels this summer. She loves being outside , so she will have so much fun being a part of our family. We are very busy all the time and love to go fishing , camping, and traveling to the zoo's in Idaho and Utah.. The children have so much fun , but i think Gary and i have more fun than the children . We get to watch and see how happy they are to go places and see new things ...
We love all of our children and feel so so blessed, thank you God!!

The kids love these braclets, so they would make cute gifts ... For anyone who would like to support adoption~ The touched by adoption braclets are awesome, to help spread the word about adoption...

Adoption has changed our lives so much, we have been so blessed by all the children we have cared for and for all of our adopted children.. Yes, we are also blessed with 3 homegrown children also, they are adults now... So we get to enjoy our adopted children and of course our grandchildren now...

Also thank you to all who have just giving funds to help... We so appreciate all of the kindness that is shown to us.. We have met some really nice people so far on our adoption journey's. Both domestic and international adoptions. Yes, we feel so blessed to have such a big family.. Gary and i always wanted lots of children.. We love our house busy all the time, and look at the bright side. We will never have to go through EMPTY NEST SYNDROME!!!! Yes yes, we are so happy for that... We would like to have a house full of children forever.....

We have many different special needs with our children, but when we added Bella to the bunch. We learned a whole new love, up syndrome is so awesome.. Bella is so sweet yet , she is a stinker also. She fits in perfect with all of our children. Even our homegrown children loved to tease each other. Bella also loves to tease the other children.. We love all of our children so much!!!!!

We can't wait to bring Seth home, he will also be loved very very much. We hope to see him soon, sending hugs and kisses to you Seth.. Until we can give you hugs and kisses ourselves....

Happy Mother;s Day!!

We had a great day today.We took the children to the park, they love to be able to play on new swing sets . They got to play for a little bit, then it was a little cold with the wind. So we headed to get some lunch and go home to eat.
We had grandma weezy~ jody's mom over for dinner and also had 7 of our 8 children home for dinner for Mother;s day. It was very nice to have most of the children here for dinner..I also got some nice gifts for Mother;s day. So thank you so much for all the gifts.
My newest gift for Mother;s day was Bella~Magdalena` and she was very happy to have me as her mother. I got the cutest lick kisses today from Bella , it is so cute when she kisses...Just can't get enough of the lick kisses..So thank you Bella Faith~.

Seth we are praying everything goes smooth for your adoption...We would love to get you home soon.. Sending hugs and kisses to you....Dad & Mom & brothers and sisters...

A donation and a yard sale..

We got an un expected donation today.. Our neighbor , from next door came over to play with the children. She comes to play all the time and we all love her so.. But today she brought something with her. She handed me an envelope and said it was from her grandma and grandpa.. I opened it up and there was a check in there for Bringing Seth home in the amount of 75.00 dollars. We are so greatful to them for thinking of us and of helping to bring Seth home. Thank you so much for the gift, that was a very nice surprise.. Our neighbors are always trying to help us with what ever we need .. But they really like to help with our adoptions to bring our special children home...


We are also planning a yard sale for June5th and 6th at our daughters house. We are taking donations for the yard sale , if you have anything you would like to donate just let us know. We would be glad to pick things up.. Our neighbors are donating a lot to our yard sale. Thank God we live in Pleasant ville.. That's what Gary calls our neighborhood~Pleasantville....


We have been busy trying to get lots of stuff ready for the yard sale. I love it ,maybe i will get the house cleaned out and have a lot less stuff all over it..HaHa ~ Yes , i am parting with lots of toys. I know that is hard to believe, i am the one that collects all the toys.. So it is hard for me to get rid of them. But i am doing it.

All the kiddos are doing great~ they are all so excited to be getting things done to bring Seth home.. Andrew can't wait to have a brother close to his age to share a room with.. Plus he is getting a new look in his room and new beds. So that is pretty awesome for him...

I also think they will be pretty close in size so they can share clothes. That would be great...

Well gotta go for now.. Lots to do~

Andrew and Seth look a lot a like..

Our son Andrew and new son to be look so much a like.. We sure hope they will get a long great.. Andrew has been waiting and waiting to get a brother to play with.

We are working on the boys room.. Mom painted it orange and blue. Big sister Amber is drawing and painting basketballs and baseballs and bats on the walls. It is really looking very awesome..
When that is finished we will go get new beds and get the room all set up for both boys..
I still need to re wax the floors, they are hardwood floors and they look great..

I will post a picture when we get it done...Talk about pictures we got a few new ones of Seth, i sure wish we could share them with you all. But we can;t for now... Maybe sometime soon..

We are all praying for a quick and smooth adoption of Seth... Everybody is so excited to bring Seth home...

Have a great week end everyone...
