Well, maybe not quite but it's not going to be long now.  Jubilee is up on her hands and knees.  She doesn't do anything once she gets there but just give it a few days, she'll be going at lighting speed.  Right now she can scoot herself back wards if she's not up on her knees and she can scoot forward if she is sitting up.  I think Jubs will be so much happier knowing that she can get to her toys by herself.  Sometimes she scoots herself back wards but then gets frustrated because she's left everything out of her reach.  Happy crawling sweet girl!

Hosanna is sometimes the funniest girl I know.  Here is a small conversation I had with her a few weeks ago:

Hosanna: "Mom, you should call the mean guy."

Me: "Why would I want to call the mean guy?"

Hosanna: "Because he's nice!"

And just for the record she talks about this mean guy a lot but we have no idea who it is.  I'm wondering if he is just imaginary like her friend Emmy.

     By the time I get home this afternoon I'm gonna be red.  I am doing a yard sale this weekend as I was last.  Hopefully by the end of today my pockets will be green even if my face and arms are red.  

     The kids are all doing well.  The bigger kids are excited to be finished with school.  This summer is lining up to be plenty action packed.  Hosanna and Beth are spending next week at speech camp.  The week after that the entire family is going to church camp.  Then we are home for a week before VBS starts and after that Gabe is going to church camp.  

     Jubilee is rolling over now very profissiantly.  She is our earliest roller yet.  I don't know why I always get the late rollers but it's nice to have somebody finally be on time with it.  She's the happiest little thing, she very rarely gets upset about anything.  Everybody loves her to pieces.

     I'm so proud of Mike for starting his own business.  I am hoping in five years we can sell our house and move where we want to because he can work from home and living near the city won't matter.  He is getting lots of extra work these days which is good because it keeps going into our gas tank.

I have to laugh because the boys, Isaiah especially, are always coming up with things we can win.  Today it was a trip to Hawaii off a bubble gum container.  The problem with these "free" things that we will "win" are numerous.  The problem I could see with today's trip was that it was for a family.  Whose family?  Certainly not ours.  7 airplane tickets and a room and accommodations for 8 people?  I think not.  Even the "normal" 4 person family wouldn't be free but how do I explain this to my kids who are just excited beyond belief at the prospect of winning something so spectacular they could only dream of it?

I did, however, win.  I was blessed with a super nice new (to us) couch from Value Village for only $30.00 :).  It matches our recliners and it simply beautiful.  The ends of the couch recline and there is a secret table in the middle for holding drinks and other things but we won't be letting the kids in on this secret.

Jubilee is starting to fuss because she's hungry and only I can help that one.  I guess I'll have to write more later.
