Easter 2010

Brothers

They just “loved” the last shot :o)  They have to humor their mother every once and awhile!

Ben and Jerry’s

The boys and I hit Ben and Jerry’s on Free Cone Day. We had never had ice cream from this particular store.  It took us a while to find parking around The Loop, but it was well worth the wait. It was delicious!  Thank you so much, Ben & Jerry’s!

“Our State Fair is a Great State Fair…Don’t Miss It, Don’t Even Be Late”

We got to meet Grandma and Great Grandma and Keith’s future brother-in-law, Brooks, at the state fair this year.  We were VERY SLOW, but we had a lot of fun!

Seeing the butter cow made from over 1200 pounds of butter!

FFA enabled us to see and pet the following: pigs, cow, donkey, sheep, ducklings, chicks, and rabbits.

Brian and Joshua tried their hand at using a bow and arrow. 

We were treated to a full double rainbow for most of the trip home!   Pictures did not do it justice! 

ANOTHER BOY!!!!

Went in for the 20 week ultrasound and we were able to see that we are having another boy!  The older boys are so excited about having another brother! Here's some pictures of Baby Boy #4! He currently weighs in at a whopping 12 ounces.  There was some extra fluid in one of his kidneys and we are having another ultrasound in 7 weeks to check it again. Pleas pray that his kidney is able to drain properly on its own without the need for surgery.  Thanks!

Joshua, Brian, Lucas, and ????

We just found out that we are expecting our fourth child on September 29!  We are all very excited around here.  The boys have tried to help us come up with some names for the baby.  These are the top three choices: John, Cookie (short for Cookie, Cookie, I Want a Cookie) and King of the Kepleys.  We really have a lot to work with here:)  I've started a poll.  Let us know what you think we should name the baby.

Grandma B turns 50!

We got to celebrate Grandma's birthday with a lot of family and friends.  We had a great time.  It was great to see everyone!  Thanks for making the trip.

I made the cakes.  This was my first attempt at making a fondant cake.  I think that they turned out fairly well.  I was wanting a black and white cake, but ruined the black fondant.  I used gold ribbon on the devil's food round cake and pure white fondant on the rectangular white cake with blackberry filling.  It was a lot of fun playing with the fondant, although I like the taste of butter cream icing  much better.

Christmas + Cousins + Games = FUN!

8 Years and Counting

Keith and I celebrated 8 years of marriage on December 16th. He and the boys surprised me with 8 gifts and the boys made our bed.  The boys also "decorated" a chair for me to sit in and open the gifts, as well as bringing in a box to use as a table for the gifts.  They were so excited!
