More babies????

Well....It seems that while we were in the hospital having Reuben, our dog, Akiva, had a one night stand with a black retriever....and like most one night stands....she ended up pregnant and the father is nowhere to be found!! So......we think that the puppies are due around April 3rd. I am really hoping that all goes well and that there are no complications. My brothers dog had 12 pups and my dad had to bottle feed them! I am busy enough feeding Reuben never mind puppies!!!!!! Here are some picks of Akiva when she was a puppy....if ya want a pup.....let me know!!!

The many faces of Reuben!

It's a good thing God made fussy babies so cute......cause it makes it alot easier to deal with them!!! Here is a little taste of how talented and cute our little boy is!!

Super Grace!

Gracie's class has been taking gymnastics for their P.E. class. Today was the day we were aloud to go watch all the little monkeys in action! She was amazing....doing things that I don't think I would even attempt! He are some pics of our Amazing Grace.

There was a day when I could do this!!
Jumping beans! Every kid should have a trampoline!!!




Now comes the bar flips.....they could hardly even reach the bar! So cute :)




Just a cute shot to show off her second black eye in a month...on the same eye!


This bar doesn't look as high as it really is. It was high enough that I was nervous watching her swing and drop into the foam pit.....but on the other hand it looks kinda fun!





There is no way I would have had the strength to do this one.....a couple of the kids made it to the top!


Last but not least.....a place where your kids are told to climb the walls!! :)

Quick Hodi Houses Update.....

Not alot of extra time around here lately. Little Mr. Reuben has had a fussy couple of weeks....and really just wants to spend his days in my arms. That makes things a little tricky...you know, with 4 other kids and everyday mommy duty's.
Reuben and I seemed to have to have come to a happy compromise thanks to Auntie Beth! She bought us this amazing, life saving baby Carrier called a Mobywrap.( see pic below) If you have a baby or know someone who does, you NEED to get a Mobywrap. They are amazing!!! Here is there web address....cause I can't figure out how to post a link..... www.mobywrap.com
I have tried sooooooo many baby carriers and this one is the best by FAR!!


Ok.....Now onto other Hodi news!
We are now homeschooling Alannah! I know, I know.....I just didn't have enough to do so we thought we would take on another time consuming project! Alannah did not have a very good teacher this year and things were just getting worse and worse so we pulled her. So the next 4 months will be school at home while we build this little girls self confidence back up to where it should be! But on a good note....we are seeing positive changes already.
Well, gotta fly.....time for school!

Cat nap?

Seriously....this is how our cat, Oscar, sleeps! I personally see nothing comfortable about sleeping with my face in my butt.......but then again I am not a cat! ( Thank God!)


Just had to share!! :)

Alisha's Belly

Alisha came over the other day and I took belly pictures for her......she has training in the digital end of things so between the two of us...I think they turned out pretty darn good!!
