So, it has been several months since I have blogged. I had a busy summer with the kids home and expecting our 6th. Well, they are back in school and I am ready (I think) to play catch up!
So, first thing is first, I need a new blog name, we are now 8. I could just change it to theSooner8, but doesn't have the same ring as theSooner7. Any ideas or suggestions???
I will update the blog with pictures of our sweet Jeremiah very soon!

Happy Mothers Day 2010
We had alot of fun Mothers Day. We all went out to eat at one of our favorite restaraunts (a few days early), Santa Fe. I also attended a Mothers Day Program at Dacia's school. It was really cute, the kids did a great job! At the end they brought us all gifts they had made.
Elijah and Lydia had made me gifts too. Elijah made me a cute flower arrangement from popsicle sticks and Lydia made me a sachet and card. Of course, I got a card from the hubby and kiddos too!
On Mothers Day we had a luncheon at our church. The men cleaned up afterwards. It was alot of fun.
Later the kids made me pictures on their Magnadoodles!
I am really thankful for my family and all the kiddos and can't wait to meet my newest addition, Jeremiah!

Meet Jeremiah!
We recently went in for a 4D ultrasound so we could get a good look at our little guy. He was a snuggly guy and kept nuzzling his head in the side of my uterus. When we would get him to move he would either have his hand or his foot in his face!
Luckily we went to a place that allows us to come back for free if they don't get good pics, so we went back the following Thursday. He was a lot more cooperative that time! We even got a pic of him smiling!
The DVD is the best, it shows everything real time. He even stuck his tongue out and made some fun faces at us! Can't wait to meet him in person!

From Office To Nursery
We have basically completed our office to nursery transition. It was kind of hard to figure out where to put all the stuff we had to move out in order to make room for Jeremiah, but we did!
It was also a little challenging to figure out we were going to make a nursery work with a newborn boy and a 1 year old girl sharing a room! lol
Here are a few pics of the transition!

Quotes From Elijah 2 (and a few from the siblings)
"Well, kind of, he can't actually drink it though."
"I could shoot it up like fireworks with guns."
Elijah kissed Sariah and I said, "Elijah, that was sweet of you to kiss Sariah."
He said, "I don't want her heart to be sad." "If it breaks it will fall in her stomache"
"Elijah, you need to stop whining!"
"Why, I will get whine flu?"
Elijah's teacher asked him what he wanted to do today. He replied, "Pick my nose."
"S-T-O-U-P-E-D (spelling it out) mom, you know (whispering) stupid...Elijah just said that!" -Dacia
"MOOOOOOOOOOM, Lydia hit me baaaaaaaaaaack!" -Elijah
"You don't know Connor, you're just a baby adult!" - Dacia (she was mad)
WARNING: THIS IS RATED PG-13 WARNING!!!!
"Look mom, I am milking the cow's pee...ewwwwwwwwwww it's peeing on me!" This was Elijah at the Orr Family Farm milking the fake cow, and he not only said it once, but twice, and loudly in a small indoor petting zoo...yeah, it was embarassing!!!!!! I had to try to explain to him that was where the milk comes from on a cow, not "potty".....like I said, embarassing....
When Connor was 4 I found out I was pregant and was reading My Pregnancy Week by Week. Well, I had miscarried and got pregnant again when he was 5 and read it again. I also read it when I got pregnant with Elijah too. He asked one night while laying in bed w/ me while I was reading, "If I read that book will I get pregnant?"
Dacia said, "Grandma and Grandpa Gray need to quit smoking b/c cigarretts are drugs and that makes them gangsters."
Elijah came in our room w/ a pumpkin seed, he said he found it in his room. Jason asked him how it got in there and he said it had feet, it was a pumpkin seed man!
Elijah lost 10 minutes of swim time today, so when I went to pick him up and he was not swimming and was on the playground (the only other option at that time) so I asked, "Did you lose all of your swim time today?" and he said, "No, I just really love outside...I love playing outside...and fit N fun...they go outside" Sounds suspicious to me! lol
" I like my Y teachers, they are so cute...casey is cute, and alicia, and my two with brown hair....and casey...caseys cute.." - Elijah
We went into a wooden Burger King the other day and as serious as he could he said, "This is not good...the wolf can blow this place down!" He was for real, he never cracked a smile and kept eyeing the wooden slats and then said, "this place is made of sticks." lol, I think he things the big bad wolf that blew the stick house down is real! lol
God Bless,

The BIG Announcement!
We are expecting a boy in July!!!
The due date is July 29th, to be exact! It was a huge surprise to us. We knew I WAS pregnant, but thought it was a molar or miscarriage since no baby showed up in the ultrasounds at 6weeks and 9weeks.
At the 2nd follow up, we were all surprised to find there was an empty sac, the miscarriage, and another thriving fetus measuring 10 weeks. He was somehow missed the first 2 ultrasounds!
So, yesterday, Friday the 26th I was 22 weeks...since you are pregnant 9 1/2 months, by gestational age, that puts me 51/2 months pregnant!
We are excited and have began making preparations.
God Bless,
The Sooner Seven :)

Thanksgiving 2009
It has been a long time since I posted, so what better time to post than Thanksgving!
We had a very good Thanksgiving and have so much to be thankful this year, especially our families!
Lydia had a real cute party at her MDO program!
This year we went to my moms house first, and ate with some of the family we do not see very often. They had all of their grandchildren there for the first time! Of course, with the exception of Jayden, who passed away July 30th 2008, along with her mother, Amber, my sister. The family missed them very much.
Here are some pics of some of the family...my camera had run out of batteries so we didn't get very many.
We also had a good time at Jason's dads. Lydia got stuck in between the legs of their table! When they got her body out, her head was stuck! It was very eventful! lol
The next day we spent some time with Jason's Nanny Rose who came over from England on the Queen Mary during the war. The kids got to play a game she brought with her on the ship and hear some really great stories. They ate some biscuits and jam she made. They had a BLAST at her house!
After that we all went out to eat with Jason's mom at a really neat restaurant that his dad actually built! It had trains everywhere, it even had one that went around the inside of the restaurant. The kids had a blast here too! We had a little surprise from the buffet! At first we thought it was supposed to be a turkey, and then I thought Jason was playing a joke on the kids...but it was for real...a fried piece of chicken with the feathers still on it!!!! I think Nanny ate the toenail! lol
We are thankful for so many things in our lives! The Lord has bless us well!
God Bless,
The Sooner Seven :)
