Still hanging in there..

Jackson giving "cody" a ride in the spinny thing... and me giving Jackson and Jenna and Cody a ride. Tried taking some good pictures of the two of them by this fountain.. this is the best I could do.

Big girl swing... for just a few seconds and not tooo high. Amazing that Jenna, being a second child really wants to do EVERYTHING her big brother does..

A picture of Cody...

37 weeks and 3 days... to be exact.. could be two weeks or two days.. who knows when this baby will decide it is time to come and meet these loud people it has been hearing for soo long.

Jackson jumping off the end of the dock at the lake.. he has really turned into a fish!

Safety First... that is what we always say:)

Cheese... anyone see a little ham in this picture?

Baby Kicking.. watch the right side of the screen.

Jenna and her favorite saying... Oh Nelly!!

Still slacking.

Just some updates since the last post.. especting baby Burchill in 4-5 weeks so I am sure I will REALLY slack then.. sleep IS a #1 priority and seems to come before blogging.
Hannah, Hunter and Jackson had a fun water balloon fight/olympic games.. Jenna was still sleeping.
Me at 35 weeks... really, is there any more room to grow..

Jackson had this idea and did this by himself... seriously.. my little engineer.

Kids playing on the tramp at the lake. Jackson suprised me and jumped right off.. now he won't stop.. loves it!

Light as a feather in the lake water!! Felt great.. Kids had fun!

Happy 4th of July!

Just monkeying around with cousin Carter!

Kisses and zerbers to baby are a regular occurance!

Fresh Strawberry smoothies.. yummmm!

Driving in the car.. Jenna got to sit on Jackson lap and play with the radio. Only boys lap she better sit on for a long time!






More later.. carnival tonight, lake again this weekend and next weekend play date with Josh, Kylene, Olivia and Alyana!!! YIPPIE!

SLACKER.. yep. .. that's me.

So summer comes and we are on the go. I don't spend a lot of time on the computer. I am working a lot at the boys office and doing lots of purse parties too.. Here is a snapshot of what we have had going on the last few weeks.
We have been going to the local pool... a fun but CRAZY time.. Jackson does ok but Jenna is not sure of everything yet. She wants to go on the BIG slide but has to stay in the little one.

My two hams..

Loving up daddy on Fathers Day.

More love on Fathers Day.

Playing at the pool.

Jackson wanted to try the big slide... he has decided that he will not be doing that again until he is "as big as daddy".

At the beach.... having fun before we all realized that we had swimmers itch and boy all HECK broke loose after that.

If we only knew... we would NOT have been in the water.

32 weeks and counting.

The fence at our house. I LOVE HAVING A FENCE... I LOVE HAVING A FENCE... I LOVE HAVING A FENCE.. got it!

I LOVE HAVING A BEDROOM :) Beats sleeping on the couch... (we do have a bed in there now.. I was just laying things out in this picture)

Our new stairway.. no longer has the landing and additional stairs going down the other way.. straight shot.

Boys at their golf lessons. Papa and Nana got the boys golf lessons here in town and man did they LOVE IT. I got to watch them every day and they did amazing and learned sooo much!

Jackson showing one of the three golf pro's his swing.

During our trip to Mpls we got to go see family for my cousins graduation... great opportunity for a family (missing dad since he was trying to finish our bedroom) picture

Jackson and grandma on the rollercoaster at Como Zoo.

Jackson and his real dad... ha.!!!! I have pictures of me with this same monkey when I was younger.

Jenna and the giraffe.

Grandma, Grandpa, Jenna and Jackson waiting outside of the como zoo.







What a great few weeks we have had.. I feel like I am getting HUGE and things are a lot tougher now but very soon we will welcome Burchill #3 and I am sure life will never be the same.

Have not posted in a while... but I am back!

I will try to do a quick update. We have had a ton going on with the move and Jenna's birthday, 2 year checkup and shots and the renovation... But things are going GREAT!
These pictures are of our bedroom after demolition... this weekend it is rebuilding..


Jenna had her 2 year check up and I allowed them to give her the MMR shot... GRRR.. 7 days later HIGH fever, chills and just not a happy baby. Luckly it passed after one day but still made for a sick baby and frustrated mom that these shots are required and they make my babies sick.

Here is Jackson... being my little ham... enjoying ice cream with his sister for her birthday.

Jenna blowing out her birthday candles.

All smiles... why wouldn't she.. she is getting ice cream!!



Love love love this picture... she did soo good keeping not only her hat on but glasses too. Hoping these kids will start that at an early age!

My little fisherman....

Believe it or not we did have like 3 days of summer... the kids took full advantage of it at the camper and ran and played in the water. I was not going in.. it was still very cold for my taste!







I love this picture... catches just pure happiness!!

Happy Birthday to Jenna!!!! We celebrated at the camper this year. Jenna loves Dora so we changed from a Pooh Birthday to Dora... plus I knew I could decorate this cake in about 30 minutes and with the move that is all the time I had. I think it turned out pretty cute and jenna loved DORA!

Last post before we move.

This will be my last post before we move to the new house. It has been a little busy with moving and what not... but we have managed to have some fun!!! Here are some pictures from the last weeks... After Papa and Nana came Jackson got really excited about golfing again. He is thrilled that he will take lessons with his cousins and wanted to practice at the first level??? Could not figure out what that meant until we went and the first level = driving range... second level = putting greens and third level is the rest of the course. He wants to do the third level but I told him that would be a while.

Jenna loves to walk with my sisters daycare kids and hold onto these different colored rings.. well, I had an idea. Thanks to melissa and some extra rings on her string, we brought some up to the lake.. Jenna now holds onto them and walks with us like a pro instead of running off to other peoples campsites, trailers, etc.

The kiddos has a blast having a campfire despite the cold weather.. 40s is all we got one day but the next was better. Then melissa,ryan, hannah and hunter came up and brought their camper..our new NEIGHBOR!!! The kids had fun playing bocce ball, visiting and dreaming of swimming in the lake and just exploring with new friends. We are going to have a fun summer!

On the 6th Wahpeton was honored to have a flight show in town. It was pretty cool to watch and we all kinda got previews of the planes that week prior when they would fly all around town. We don't have a ton of planes other than those small ones that are used for the farms around here so having fighter jets and what not around was cool and a little scary! We stayed from 10 (when everyone said it started) to 11:30 when the kids had had enough of looking at the sky and watching the planes do tricks. It was a cool thing to see. They did pose for a pic for me..

Jackson is getting good at golfing.. we have a lot of work ahead of us before he can compete with his Papa... but he will get there! Jenna and I took him to the range this beautiful day to let him work on a bucket of balls. You should have seen the looks we got when a 5 year old is toting his golf clubs in on his back... and me waddling in with a big belly and my 2 year old. Needless to say Jackson drew quite a crowd on the back deck and some guys cheering him on.

Finally, Jenna singing twinkle twinkle. I just got the last part of it and then the jets started flying overhead.. it was adorable!!
