It's Been a Long Time Coming

It's been a while since I've last blogged, and I hate that I've left everyone without updates on our family. God has been blessing us and we've just been "busy" lately as my school year wraps up. But i am back to blogging again! This one is dedicated to me gramma because she loves reading them and is one of my biggest fans. I love you gramma and I miss you so much! Je t'aimes!

Sit back and take a look at what's been going on in the Hulbert Household these past 2 months...

We adopted a puppy from the SPCA! His name is Pepper and he's such a good playmate with the kids and with ginger (out other dog).

Three kids in the back of the truck makes for a full backseat! They love riding together though!

March 2010: March brought with it many surprises and fun times for our family. We decided to take 4 days of Spring Break and drive up to Tulsa, Oklahoma to visit our dear friends, the Juarez's. I worked with Kim the past 3 years and have had her daughter in my class also 3 years. They have been a blessing to our family and moved to start a school and a church in the South Tulsa area. We also got a sweet surprise from God this month as we found out that our last miracle (and hopefully Joshie's baby brother he's been asking for since October) is set to arrive in early December....which means it will probably be a "Turkey baby". Here's a few pictures from our trip and other March happenings....

I got to share the bed with Jenna - she likes to sleep ON TOP of you and take over the whole bed as well.

Sunset in Tulsa at a local park. It was supposed to be nice weather. Instead it was in the 40's all week and breezy. Winter got it's last punch in before a beautiful spring.

Our dear friend, Victoria, helped us at the park. Joshie LOVES her and always talks about her.

Kids playing in the hotel

We went to the Tulsa Zoo and had a great time.

When we got back from our Spring Break, it was time to start getting the yard ready for spring time! The kids liked helping daddy with the raking and planting flowers.

Julianna is growing so fast!

Yes, that's two lines you see there....We are SO excited to have our last little blessing due December 7th, 2010. Joshie of couse wants a "baby brother" in the worst way!

Jenna-girl waiting outside school. She looks so grown up when her hair is pulled back. She's a girlie-girl, but also a tom-boy too...

April 2010: April brought with it Julianna turning one (April 1st), and a lot of fun activities. Julianna finally got some teeth in - her two front teeth and is still a cute little smiley baby who is adored by her older siblings....We also set up the kid pool in our backyard as teh days are finally starting to warm up and the hint of summer is coming. We've had some flirtatious summer days lately and it's been nice to let the kids play outside. Josh and Jenna of course are still quite the "water babies" and it looks as if Julianna will fall in suit with them as well. Here's some snapshots from our events in April....

Yes, that is curly hair that Julianna has! It's SO cute!

Julianna thinks she is big enough to ride with the big kids

We had a Race For Education for my school (www.legacypca.org) at a neat place called 7-Acre Wood. Josh loved playing miniture golf and he was actually pretty good at it too!

One of my pre-algebra projects this year was to have the kids design their dream house and create a scale model of it. Then they had to actually construct their building. They had 4-weeks to do the project and I was pleasantly surprised with the results. They were beautiful!
