Our Stay-cation with the Pippus Crew

Having the Pippus' hang out with us, here in town, is like getting away for a holiday - without having to pack!! I was sad to see them go but I guess they can't just live with us forever....

Here we are at the park. Justin had to work but the rest of us went for a walk around the lake.

Caden and Katelyn

Caden got a little tired so Tim gave him a few rides.

Sara with a couple of the babies. She ended up with the heaviest stroller.

Megan and Liam. You seldom saw one without the other the whole time. Pretty sweet.

Stopped for a moment at the fountain...


Did you notice how I didn't have to push any strollers or basically do anything with my kids during that walk? Well, that's what it was like the entire time. We have so many friends who help us and who love our kids. It's a real bonus when some of them move in with us for awhile!! Thanks guys!!

On friday night Justin and I spontaneously decided to take Caden to Buffalo Days. After work we packed up the 4 kids and zipped over to the fair. I am so glad that we decided to go, even though it's so much more work to take the babies with us. I didn't want one of us to have to stay home. It was evening, we started at supper time and we were just doing the kids area - SO - it was quiet. Not very many people and he didn't have to wait in line much at all. He had A BLAST. I'm glad he didn't miss out on that just because he happens to have 3 babies at his house!!

and the jeeps


Here are the babies just hanging out and watching everything around them. They were so content the entire time. They are such GOOD babies!! It amazes me sometimes.

Saturday morning was the Buffalo Days Parade so we headed over to that. Justin wasn't able to come to that but he met up with us after and watched the football game. That's the riders/stampeders game. Anyone remember what happened? I think Justin may have erased that from his memory. But anyway - back to the parade. These are just pictures of us waiting ahead of time. No actual parade pics. I'm sure you're all really disappointed :)

Megan with the sleeping babies - it was naptime and thankfully they were willing to sleep in their strollers during the parade.

Here's Tim and Sara with all the kids. Notice how we had one child per Pippus?! We were thinking! We even waited long enough for their kids to be able to take care of ours. Not a bad idea at all!!
That was Buffalo Days week - our stay-cation with our good friends! Thanks for coming guys!

They are here. They are really really here!!!

It was a cool day. Almost too cold. The kind of cold that makes you rethink your very existence.... Boy. I am waaaay to tired for that. So I will give you the un-dramatic version. So, we are getting bombarded with requests for an update and pictures. So I will oblige and provide you with all the gory details. Actually, there are no gory details. In what can only be described as an amazing answer to many prayers, the new Mooney babies were brought into this world with no problems what so ever. We entered the hospital at 10:00 in the morning and were taken to the surgery room around 12:00 noon. At exactly 12:38, the first baby, Dylan Michael was born weighing in at 6 pounds even. Then, also at 12:38, Evan Timothy also charged into the world weighing in at 5.2 pounds. Then, at 12:39 Liam David was born weighing 4.8 pounds. For those of you good at math, that is a whopping 16 pounds worth of babies. 16 POUNDS!!! And even though them just being born at 36 weeks and 5 days isn...

Did you know?

So, did you know that exercising regularly can help you have more energy!? Okay, so did I. And did you know that eating healthily also helps with that? As does going to bed at a decent time at night? I guess we all know that but I haven't been good at acting like I know that. I was getting frustrated. I was just so tired in the evenings. I wasn't having the kind of quality time with my kids or my husband that I wanted. I didn't feel like going out with friends in the evening. I was okay during the day but that's not when I am with my people, for the most part anyway. Sometimes, I would fall asleep on the couch before my kids bedtime!! If I wasn't asleep, I was lethargic and unmotivated. Just not the me that I wanted to be. It doesn't sound like much, but I just couldn't stand wanting to be intentional but not having the energy to do the things that mattered to me. And my kids are 9,9,9 and 11. That's old enough that I can't use the...
