Okay, Life with four. Is great! Is more laughs and with that comes more work. I have to say. Its do able for any one thinking about it. It is back to the post pregnancy weight and sleepless nights that I feel like I just got through with Matthew and Ethan for that matter. I can't believe its two years later and here we are again. I wouldn't change it for the world. I just wish I could have the babies and not the weight or sleepless nights. I guess all this work helps me appreciate all that God has given me. If it was all handed to me on a silver platter I wouldn't know what it was worth. I am grateful for my health and that I am able to have these kids to take care of. Chris and I were talking about in the early years of marriage when we thought oh! what if we couldn't have kids and then what if we were only able to of had Christopher. Three kids later we are so truely blessed with this crazy time in our lives. It is do able just crazy for this season. I truly feel like I just need to get through these next stages and then I will be able to breath with out thinking about it as much. I am also trying to soak up all the fun memories that only last days and then weeks which turn into months. I love my boys! More than anything in the world. Thank my Heavenly Father every night and day for this wonderful gift.
Sounds of my house right now is baby crying in the back ground ( me hoping he will cry to sleep soon!) Matthew in bed talking and every once in a while a Christopher or Ethan slipping out of bed to get a drink or use the bathroom. Kids they really do hate bed time!

Hi Rachel, The time does go by so fast. My ella is 9 months old and I can't believe it. You are such a great Mom and I love your boys so much. I would love to hold little Jackson. Every change in life takes time to get used to it and before you know it ii't habit and you don't remember how to do anything else.
I love that you have four! Amen to being the best mom. Your boys are lucky to have you. I so wish I was there to take that baby and have your boys come play. Easton was just talking about Christopher today. Post more pictures of that baby!! Are you going to Utah this summer?!
You have a beautiful family and you are blessed! We can't wait to meet the newest Gee! Please let us know when you'll be coming to visit next and then our little ones can meet!! The 2 newest great-grandchildren :) We love you and miss you all!
Wow, we are going through the same thing right now, but you have one more! You're amazing! I was just talking to Jeff the other day saying the same thing about life being crazy at the moment, but in awhile it will settle down and become habit. Then, just when you start to get nice and cozy, you start all over again! I think that you are right about being handed a silver platter. These experiences are molding us into better people. The Lord truly loves us. Give your kids a squeeze! Halle and Cole made Ethan and Matthew birthday cards, but then we forgot to send them out! Got to get me some stamps already!
love the real life perspective! It's tough work, but they are worth it! I can't imagine having #4.. but I am looking forward to it.

Way to stay so positive in a time of chaos in your life!!! I don't have any advice, because I am getting nervous about #3! But, I do know you are doing super duper great! Good luck...you are awesome!!
You are amazing! It was fun to have you back at church. You looked so beautiful & I loved your curly hair (I didn't get a chance to tell you). Jackson is just as cute as can be!
You are so awesome! You are the best mom ever and give me so much hope for making it through any more kids in my life! haha Kids are great blessings though!
