Ella's been a little busy...

While we were all vegging in a cabin in Tennessee

for a week over Christmas break,

miss Ella Grace and her cousin, Jadyn, kept very busy...

playing in tents...hiding in tents...
playing bananagrams...
screaming as loud as she can... trying to keep kids together to take pictures...

eating popsicles...

stealing nerf guns...

finally keeping kids together to take pictures...

(no matter what it took, poor Makayla!)

wondering why Makayla is always so happy...

lovin on Jadyn...

Can you tell papa was trying to make the kids laugh:) we had a great time in Tennessee!!

Thanks papa and gigi!!!

And oh yeah...

The Freeman five is about to be no longer...

We have a new little person on it's way!

Due July 14th

God obviously had a different plan than we did for our family!

So I need help, I need some ideas for a new name for my blog!!!

And, no we are not going to have 5 kids just to keep that name!

well, I mean unless God wants us too, right?

A lot to catch up on...

Wow, I can't believe it has been soooo long

since I have updated the blog!!!

Aghhh! We have been crazy busy!

Here is a little of what we've been up too,

and here is how the lack of blogging started....

We decided to rip out the carpet

and tile downstairs and lay real hardwoods!

Was a great idea and in the end they are absolutely gorgeous,

but it was a LOOONNGGG process...(about 2 months!!!!)

especially if your husband is a pilot,

without alot of time,

who wanted to do the whole thing by himself,

no matter what I said!

So all our furniture was in our garage

and our computer was shut down for a while,

only to find out it wouldn't turn back on ever again!

RIP dear computer.....

Our tiled entry way...well it was tiled at one time! The finished project...so great!

(after a little help in the end,

because the wifey was about to go insane ...

but he did the majority of installing and finishing it!)

How do you take pretty pictures of your floor?

Have no idea!

But I tell ya, we've been busy...

hiding...(sorry for the toilet shot)

and finding....

watching my beautiful sister, Ashley,marry her best friend!attempting a family pic...

and yes, we were ALL in the wedding!
carving some pumpkins...
becoming an army soldier (again!),
being queen bee, and playin some football...

deciding whether or not we even want to take pictures... havin some snacks with bubba...

tryin on all our bows...
