Wynn...

Wynn had another hospitization. He has RSV, tonight will be his second night. He had improved and should be discharged tomorrow. This little guy has kept us on our toes!!

Feeling much better!!

This girl is NINE!

Where on earth did our baby go!? EJ is 1/2 way to 18! We are in awe of her! She has such a heart for God & others. She is sheer joy! Her favorite things now are jiujitsu, reading, and school! 

My little redo!

We painted over the weekend, I love it! I am enjoying (slowly) decorating & remodeling our little farm house.  

I can not imagine a more perfect house for us.  

Some pics of the paint job!

Life with boys.....

Never know what you are going to find :)!

Cravings!

I did not blog, even once, when expecting Wynn.  It, honestly, was a very difficult time for us.  A pregnancy after a second trimester loss, with no explanation.  Also, we had just gotten Daws.  It was hard beyond belief.  I want to do better this go-round.  Bringing a person into this world is such an amazing thing!  Even if it is your sixth go at it! 
I am HUGE!  At 24 weeks, I already get asked "Are you about to pop?" and other such statements!  I am craving subway.  roasted chicken on Italian, American cheese, toasted, onions, pickles, olives, tomatoes, honey mustered, oil, and salt please!  I would eat them breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
 We are talking names, will most likely keep them under wraps until the big day.  Of course, Lindsay will know (shout out to my one commenter :)) Lindsay entertains my random, all hours of the day texts about names, she has earned it.  
I am feeling MUCH better and off my anti-nausea meds.  Enjoying feeling her move a ton!  Super excited about having a little girl. 
Josh and I were talking about my odd cravings last night, I knew I needed to record them!
Emery Jai, oatmeal pies and coke zero (in a can, hot)
Guice,green olives stuffed with garlic, Munster cheese, almonds, sliced turkey
Evergrace, Fruit dip and jelly sandwiches on Texas toast
Hollis, steak, lots of it.  drowned in Heinz 57
Wynn, bananas fried in coconut oil served with peanut butter
It is so funny, to me, that I haven't eaten any of that since!  Other than steak, but without the gross amounts of 57 poured over it! 

All done up for Christmas!

We had such a great time getting the house Christmas ready! Josh hung lights 5 days before Christmas, that is how we roll :)

I know this is controversial.....

But I did it, I painted over wood! Ha!! I painted my mantel. I had my heart set on a vintage replacement. However, as usual, my heart and budget did not line up. So, slapped some paint on tht baby! I am so enjoying making this place home! 

Wynn was a sick little guy...

Wynn had a brief overnight hospital stay. It was the first time, other than birth, that our kiddos have been hospitalized. He had the flu which lead to very minor breathing complications. He rebounded super quick! 

A shot of him in the sweet gown :)! 

Bless his heart, he doesn't look like hisself! 

Love this!

The reveal!

We decided we wanted to find out the gender before birth this time, mostly because I KNEW the baby was a girl! Girls need a lot :)! This is our 7th pregnancy & we have an awesome Girl, boy pattern going! I wonder how long the pattern will hold ;)!?!

We had our scan and the tech wrote down the gender, we did not find out. My friend wrapped up the gift for us.  We were going to unwrap Christmas morning , however we couldn't wait a second longer. She really got us with wrapping the first two things!! 

Okay, the video will not load....off to google how to do it! Lol! For real....

Assortment of phone pics!

Daws turned 3! We currently have two terrific three year olds! Good times!

Merry Christmas!! We had a wonderful time celebrating the birth of our savior!

New year!!

Lots going on, of course! When in a family of 8 is there not!?! We are looking forward to the new year, new beginnings! Our most anticipated event will be the birth of our daughter!

More to come! Happy new year! 

Our first egg!

A much anticipated event! The kids were amazed!  

Wynn got the privilege of eating the first egg!

He mostly wore it:)

Some random pics of the coop & our assorted fowl, one goose, a ugly turkey, three ducks, 9 chickens, and one rooster!  The chickens are different varieties.

Sums it up for us!!

I love this! I found it on Pinterest, of course the link is no good.  I'm currently searching for it on Esty, found some similar but not exact, I'll keep looking though:)

Big Cat Daddy & Penelope!

We have added two outdoor kittens. 

The beginning was a but rocky, Penelope ran up our fireplace, but bygones be bygones. We just never pick her up & all is well. She kills all kinda of things, makes up for her bad attitude :).  Big Cat Daddy is loving enough for both!

Penelope after running up the fireplace!

Big cat daddy

A bit better temperament :)!

Evergrace is FIVE!!

Ever turned 5! How did that happen!?! She is our sister sassafras! All girly girl all the time! She loves kittens, reading, doing school, playing princess! 

Evergrace Wimberly, you have given us so much love, laughter, happiness! We are ao proud of you & are looking forward to watching you grow into a mighty woman of God!

Jimmy Dean!

He is here! Kiddos are so excited to have him home! They have been visiting him at Nena's for the past couple of months, nena & pop brought him down this weekend. 

Our mini farm is growing!

Wynn turns one!

NeNa & Pop came in to celebrate this little guys first birthday! He is such a joy! 

A few birthday facts:  he is not walking, crawls like a beast though! He walks while pushing toys, so anytime now.  He has never had a bottle, and yes is "still" nursing.  He says Momma, Boob, Dadda, Nena, & Bub. He bites, hits, & scratches to get what he wants.  Wynn loves animals.  He is super smiley, such a happy boy! He wears 24 month clothing. Has been super healthy! Not sure if his weight, I would guess 25 lbs. 

He sleeps with us in the bed, he gets so excited to go to bed! 

Wynn Herring Anderson, we love you so much & are beyond thankful God gave us you!

Family Pictures!

Lindsay took the sweetest pictures! I'm wanting to print them all!

And many more fantastic ones, not on my phone!! 

Thank you so much Lindsay!!
