Juliet was born on January 23rd at 4:01 p.m..  I was induced and decided to have her all naturally.  In the middle of pushing her out I told Jeff to not let me have a baby naturally again but now, after the fact, I am glad I went naturally and will most likely have the rest of my babies naturally as well.  Labor was only unbearable painful for an hour and Juliet was so much smaller than Molly that she came out rather easily in comparison (Molly I had naturally too but not by choice).  

Juliet was 7 lbs 12 oz..  She was exactly 2 pounds lighter than Molly and our smallest baby.  She is so cute!  I am so glad not to be pregnant.  Juliet's pregnancy was definitely the hardest and I think the hardest trial of my life thus far, but now that I get to hold her in my arms (and am not pregnant) it was all worth it.  And to make up for her terrible pregnancy thus far Juliet has been a great baby.  She sleeps a lot, has a cute little mouse sounding cry that we don't hear very often, and as long as she is warm is super happy.  We are so glad she is now in our family!!

Our 4 kids!

Molly loves her sister and we are so glad! (we were really afraid she wouldn't)

It is always a little sad when my kids need to start wearing their winter jackets outside.  Though Knightley and Mason are really looking forward to winter because they love to play in the snow.  But we are trying to enjoy the non-freezing weather for as long as we can.



Baby number 4.... and it is a girl! 
Debbie is due January 29, 2014.  Making the new baby (we haven't decided on a name) and Molly 18 months apart, and blessing us with 4 kids in 5 years!

I love my little ones so much!





Molly just turned 1!  She is getting so big. 

Knightley and Mason were so excited for her birthday.


She loved her cake!

Her big present was her own little chair and she loves it!


We have a new house!  We were actually were looking causally for a house for awhile, mainly because our old house, we discovered, makes a perfect rental property.  When we were looking we came across a house on my brothers street.  We decided to look at it mainly for that reason, but as soon as we walked through it we had an overwhelming feeling of home.  We both had spiritual witnesses that we could very happily raise our family here (I never thought I would have that feeling about a house).  So we put an offer on the house, got renters for our old house, and moved, all within 30 days.  And now we are all moved in and we love it.

Our new house! It has 4 bedrooms upstairs, 2 1/2 bathrooms, a huge cool master closet, and a basement.

Knightley and Mason love driving their trucks on our walkway.  I will post a video of the inside of the house later. :)

Though I am a little bit late, Mason is now three!   We didn't have a party of anything but he still felt very special.  Last year Mason requested a dinosaur cake and he loved it so much that this year he wanted the exact same thing.  But I finally found a design online that was very slightly different than is old cake and when I showed Mason the picture and pointed out all the chocolate on it he decided he wanted a"spiky dinosaur with big chocolate chips cake".  And he loved it!  Well he didn't actually love the cake, he mostly just ate all the frosting and chocolate off it, but he still loved the idea of his own cake that he picked out.  And I loved it too; in fact, I think it was by far my best cake yet (it helped that it was the simplest birthday cake I have made :)).  

(sadly Jeff didn't take a picture of all the Hersey kiss spikes on the dinosaur's back)
