8 is great! (november 2014)

Eight is an exciting age. At our home it's especially great since it happens to be the age that the kiddos get to start either Cub Scouts or Activity Day Girls, and also the age when our children get baptized (I think there will be a baptism post to follow). 

For Brook's 8th b-day, he got to enjoy this delicious cake!!

With his amazing (and young;) parents and family.

Maybe even  more fun than eating cake with his super cool parents, he also got to go with everyone to Chuck E Cheese's for a fun evening out. I know Chuck E Cheese's might seem (be) a little ghetto, but it has always been such a perfect place for our family--with our size and range of ages. It's big enough that there's enough to do for an hour or two, but small enough that everyone for the most part can roam around on their own. 

And of course the cousins got to join which made it that much more exciting!!

They had a great time playing some games. 

Visiting and eating pizza.

Watching Brooks open presents. 

And just having some good plain fun!

Glad you had a great b-day Brookerhood!! We sure love you in our family and are happy to see you growing up into such a nice little gentleman:-).

The crazy part, though, is that as much as I LOVE these pictures (thanks to McKenzie Goff), they will already be outdated as of September. Here's why ... Dueck baby #5 Arriving September 24 th 2010

And to finish off April, we have ...  Earth-Day excitement! Porter's promposal to this sweet girl!! Which involved singing to her (with his bro. and buddies) in front of about 75 surprised onlookers. Happy Birthday to G-ma Loo:-) And sunny family day at the park ... Looks like the man bun is still going strong!;)

Baby Joseph

Another little miracle, Joseph Benjamin Dueck , arrived in our family September 5 th , 2010 at 3:23pm. Of course, every mom describes the birth of her children as miraculous--I know, I feel that way about each of mine--but in this case Joseph's healthy arrival really did turn out to be something of a miracle. But before I get into the story, I have some catching up to do since I haven't blogged at all about this pregnancy. So ... Here's me on the first day of school which was just two days before Joseph was born. Since I was taking pictures of the kids, James decided I needed one as well. I'm actually glad he did, because I had been meaning to get a picture of my baby "bump" for days if not weeks and hadn't gotten around to it. Of course, I thought I still had plenty of time to make it happen. And just very quickly, I have to throw out some highlights from this pregnancy which for some reason all have to do with Mae ... Mae telling me (during the first tri...
