On The Move Again

Well, if you thought my last blog was full of big surprises wait until you read this one. In the last blog you all found out that we are expecting baby #2. Well, now we are expecting baby #2 and we are moving again. Nolan was offered a job at a smaller, public school, in a smaller town, coaching girls basketball. We are really excited (not necessarily about the moving process, but about the being there). I have been looking at houses on the internet and I found an older one that I really like. It has origanal hardwood floors and even has a claw foot tub. So, please pray for us as we begin this newest adventure in God's plan for us (that our house will sale quickly so that we can buy a house there, I can find a doctor, and kane will handle things okay). We feel very confident that we are following his will for us, and can't wait to see what he has in store for us. The town is Berryville and it is a little over an hour closer to home than we are right now. So, there it is our 2nd big news in less than a week!

We have also been at home for the last 2 weeks. We had a great time. We went to Branson with some friends, Adam and Julie Woods. We left the kiddos at home and had a fun time just us grown-ups. We swam, played ping-pong and tennis, I even had to beat everyone (including Nolan, and I have witnesses this time) in a fun little game of horse. We went to this wonderful restaurant called Chataeu on the Lake, saw a movie, and ate at Lambert's home of the throwed rolls in Springfield. It was great!

We also had a great time with family. My sister came over to mom and dad's and we always have an awesome and fun time together. I colored her hair and made her a blond bombshell. Then we stayed with Nolan's family for a few days and then we went to Branson again with the Baker's. We had a great time at Silver Dollar City and we went to a big waterslide (I had to watch from the sidelines this year, but that's okay it's worth it!

Well, there it is, Big news and vacations seem to be what is going on with us right now. We love you guys and I hope that you enjoy the blog. Down below if you click on the word comments you can write to me and let me know what you think and how you are. Have a great week! Bye!

Big News and the Lake

Hello all of my family and friends! I have been thinking of doing something like this for a while now. With us living away now I feel like this will be a great way for you all to get an idea of what is going on in our lives since we are not able to talk with all of you as often as I wish that we were able to. I will try my hardest to post something at least once a week (I think saying anymore than that would just be lying to myself).

Well, for those of you who have not already noticed. Yes, our Blog Title is Helder 4's Adventures. Not 3, but yes, you read right 4! This is very new and long anticipated news. We are all really excited. I am only about 5 weeks along, so we still have a long time before baby # 2 gets here. However, we will definetly need that time to prepare (not only the room and baby stuff, but we will also use our 9 month wait to talk to kane about what is coming around the corner). So, there it is! Our very exciting news. As most of you know I have been wanting to get pregnant for sometime. I am so thankful for a God that answers prayers, and blesses with such grandness! So, to all of you that prayed so hard for us, Thank You!

This past week we went camping at the lake. We borrowed a tent from our neighbor and when we got there and got it up we realized that it did not have the piece that you put over it to keep the rain out if and when it rains. So, of course while we were there we thought it was going to rain 2 out of the 4 days we were there. So, every morning we took everything out of the tent and loaded it all in the van (not having this tent cover also made getting dressed and undressed interesting). We had a good time though. We cooked out on the grill and went swimming. We took our new puppies and they were a lot of fun to watch in the lake. On Thursday while we were there nolan met holly and she brought Karli who came and camped with us. It was lots of fun, a little cold, but a lot of fun!

Well, this is really about all that is going on right now (although finding out that we are expecting a baby seems like a big thing). I hope that you all come and visit often and maybe this will inspire some of you to start up your own blog pages. Bye!
