Family nights

We did some fun family night activities in October to prepare for Halloween. Here are our spiders that we put out for decorations!

I know it's terrible that I haven't posted for so long...although it's no surprise to any of you at this point!! I wanted to write a little bit about what's been going on in our lives since we're always so out of touch.
Kevan is back in school and doing so well. He set a goal to get all straight A's this semester. will be honest and say that I thought that this goal was a bit unrealistic for him, but I have been supportive non the less. That being said, he has accomplised his goal thus far. I am so proud of him. He has become very important to the basketball team also. He puts in a few hours everyday in the basketball office, then 5 days a week has practice where he runs drills...yadaydayada..(ok that just basically means I really don't know all that he does). He enjoys it very much, and best of all, they are paying him so I enjoy it too!!
Zariah surprises us everyday with how big and smart she is getting. Everytime I take her anywhere I get comments of how brilliant she is! She has finally got some great friends that she loves to hang out with. I have been doing a preschool class(which basically just includes having a lot of fun teaching her) and she will be going to a private preschool for a couple days, and hopefully a dance class soon.
Maleah is growing up so fast! She started talking so late that she's just now learning to voice EVERYTHING!!! She is quite the talker! She is very smart and is learning alot from Zariah. She just recently filled up her first "potty chart" and is working toward being fully trained! She is very independent which frustrates me, but she is always ready to snuggle and give loves!
Anoni..oh, Anoni!!! She has just been an angel to us. Her sisters love her so much and help out with her more than I ever could imagine. She is such a great baby and so happy! She can roll over both ways, she sits while supporting herself with her arms, and she is scooting already. She LOVES the mirror!! Best of all, she just started copying what we do(rasberries are one thing I shouldn't have taught an already slobery baby!) She is just adorable, and we are so happy to have her in our lives, and can't wait to see what our lives bloom in to in the future.

Well...hopefully I didn't brag to much about my family...I just love them to death!! I feel like the luckiest person in the world! I know that heavenly father loves me very much, he has blessed my life so much.

Here is our beautiful Anoni...the newest member of the Haynie family!!

St. Patrick's day!!

St. Patrick's day was so much fun today!! The girls had such a good time. They loved wearing green outfits, going for a nature walk to find all the green things that we could, and making green goodies. Zariah got really good at finding people that weren't wearing green, and both her and Maleah were very good at pinching those people!! Zariah decided that her friends, and mine, needed to have some green cupcakes, so we made green cupcakes with green frosting. Here are some photos of the girls fun!!

I took my eyes off them for a minute and Zariah told Maleah, "This is frosting Maya-mo, it's so yummy, and since it's green, it will taste even better...Try it!!"

Needless to say, they both had spoonfuls of frosting in their mouths by the time

I turned around!!

This could have been Maleah thanking Zariah for the frosting advice...but every other second Maleah was kissing or hugging her!! I love sisters!!!

And one more....makes 5 (can you believe it!!)

So It's been such a long time since I've posted, and alot has changed since my last post. So much has happened...some good, some bad...and now we're looking at a brighter, more stable couple of months! That is, until our world is shocked by our new arrival!

We found out that we were expecting November 20th, we were not expecting this development, but we welcome it completely! We were thrilled to find out, and excited to spread the news, after my first doctors appointment. We found some problems with the pregnancy, and the doctor told us that there was a high chance of a miscarriage. We decided that it was better not to spread the happy news, when we didn't know what the future could hold. After 3-4 months of pain, and problems, we found out that the problems had ceased!! Now we can tell everyone that....WE'RE HAVING ANOTHER BABY GIRL!!!!!!! We couldn't be happier!!!

Zariah is so happy, and she has already named the baby...actually a beautiful name that Kevan and I are shocked that she came up with, and we are concidering it at the moment!! We have awhile to think about this as I am only like....21 weeks or so!!!

Well Thanks for listening to my ranting!!! Here are some pictures!!
