Gabriel's birthday

Dear diary,

My two daughters, Elianna and Fiona, share a bedroom. They are twins and share everything on their request. Recently they started having nightmares and started thinking their was a monster under their bed. We used the monsterspray, Abby remembered when she was scared years ago and also used it one night for the girls. Abby is such a sweet older sister.

My youngest celebrated his birthday. He is already four years old! I can't believe I won't be having childeren at home anymore. They grow up so fast! Gabriel is such a selfassured young boy. He always knows what he wants.

Since we had two birthday's short after eachother, and it had been a while, we made a new familyphoto.

We made two different ones. We had a hard time getting our teenagers, Abby and Beau in a good position. But we managed to get some cute photo's. I'm so thankful with my family. But deep down, I still have some babyfever left. I hope we get one more some day.

Love, Juanna

Gabriel's first birthday

Dear diary,

My baby is already one year old. Denver and I might not try for another baby so I'm just sooking in all the moments with my youngest.

He is already such a handsome young boy. And he knows what he wants. I need to learn him that he doesn't trow a fit whenever he doesn't get his way. His father has such a soft spot for his youngest son. He spends a lot of time playing with Gabriel. So sweet to see them together.

With all those birthday's, we wanted a new familyphoto.

We have such a cutie little family. The childeren in order are: Abby, Beau, Christina, Elianna, Fiona and Gabriel. They are 11, 9, 7, 4 and 1 years old. We are so thankful and feel so blessed.

Love, Juanna

Family outing

Dear diary,

It's still winter but here in Sulani you almost don't notice that. The other day was such a warm day. Denver grilled some bananas, we all enjoyed a fun day in the water. So thankful to live here!

I watched Christina while Denver took Abby and Beau into deeper water. After that I got my moment of rest in the sun while Denver played with the childeren making sandcastle's. He is such a fun dad!

Although Beau loves to play in the water and on the monkeybars, he has a soft side to him. He also loves to make crafts inside. I let him do that, Abby loves to play outside on the monkeybars like him so why not let Beau make crafts inside. As long as they don't argue I'm a happy mother.

We had a nice new years eve with our family. We all swom till we couldn't and then sat in front of the tv till it was midnight. We loved seeing the fireworks on the beach. The new year will bring lot's of new things, like our fourth baby, birthday's, maybe weddings from my brothers or sisters, or more nephew's or nieces.

Love, Juanna

Christina's first birthday

Dear diary,

My youngest is already a toddler! Time sure does fly by but I love every minute of it. And I'm kind off looking forward to having Christina play more with her older brother and sister. I think that will be so cute to watch.

Denver and I are still preventing since we don't want the childeren to close together. In the beginning I was a bit uncomfertable with it but by now I'm used to it. I'm loving the freedom it gives us and I can focus on my childeren so much more then my mother ever could on us, my siblings and me.

We made a new familyphoto with our three childeren. I has been two years since the last one so it was about time.

And all the other times we are just enjoying where we live, on the beach, surrounded by water. Can't you tell I'm so incredible happy?

Love, Juanna

(AN: they are still fundie but losing up the rules a bit. Denver is still full in control thow and that won't change since Juanna is years younger and always looking up to him and his wisedom since he went to college and she never had more then highschool)

Weekend

Dear diary,

We always enjoy weekends eventhow that's the time Denver has to work. He has to preach at the sundayservice in church. I can't always join him because of our little childeren but I try to.

Weekends also means that Abby can relax from school and we have lot's of time together.

Beau build his own sandcastle in the sand unter my supervision. While Abby played in the monkeybars. When I was younger, my parents never let Janine, my older sister, play at the monkeybars even thow she wanted that really badly. I always feeled sorry for her but kind of understood my parents not wanting us girls to play wild. Seeing my own daughter loving the monkeybars I couldn't ask her to stop playing on them. Denver was surprised when I asked his opion about it. Ofcourse she could play on the monkeybars.

We also had a swim together in our new swimwear. It's still quite modest compared to most people but at the same time a little bit cooler then the swimwear we had. Abby loves it and we had a blast swimming together while Beau and Christina already laid in bed.

Love, Juanna

Baby #3?

Dear diary,

Denver and I decided (AN: Denver did, not Juanna) that we where going for another baby. We feel so blessed with our current two but would love to add another little one to the bunch. Beau, our youngest, celebrated his first birthday a couple months ago so their will be 2 or more years between Beau and a possible new baby. So far we didn't have much luck. Sadly.

My sister, thow, had much more luck with getting pregnant. A bit to much luck I think. Her baby, a boy, Sam, is just six months old and she already told me she is expecting again! The baby will be here around the time Sam will turn 1 year old. Joelle will be following my mothers footsteps. So far, none of her daughters is following her footsteps.

Johanna is having fertility issues. She has four childeren but her youngest are already 5 years old.

Janine has five childeren but I suspect she is preventing between the childeren too. Her youngest is a year and a half. And between the youngest and the twins is almost 3 years. Janine isn't pregnant as far as I know so there will be more then two years between her youngest and the baby if she has another one.

Then there is me, I have two and Denver and I consiously are preventing between baby's to not have them close together.

After me is Jadyn, well, she got one baby out of wedlock. Emma is already four years old and I heard that Jadyn is in college. I haven't heard anything about another guy or baby.

Then their is Joelle, that's the one who is following my mom with having childeren close together.

Julie is already 18 years old but not in a relationship. Then there are Jenelle, Jocelyne and Jessica but their are all too young. Like 15, 14 and 10 years old.

For now, we are just really enjoying Abby and Beau. My precious toddlers who sometimes drive me nuts.

Love, Juanna

Beau 1st birthday

Dear diary,

my baby is growing up! Time goes by so fast. Beau is already 1 year old. One day he is just laying in his crib as a baby and the next day he is playing around in the other bedroom. He is such a cutie but also a bit sensitive. But I don't mind that one bit.

Since it's Beau's first birthday we wanted to make a new familyphoto. We didn't have one since the birth of Beau so we thought is was about time. Besides, Denver is looking for a church to be pastor at and we need a photo to introduce us with.

I just love our little family. I know some people will wonder why I'm not pregnant yet but that's none of their business. Some people just aren't that fertile as others. And nobody knows that we are just preventing right now, taking time for our two childeren the Lord already gave us. (AN: She is growing in confidence a bit)

Love, Juanna

Mom's birthday and a wedding coming!

Dear diary,

My mom is already 70th years old! And still, she is a wonderful and beautiful woman whom I love very much. She gave birth to me and my many siblings and has been there for us all the way from birth to having childeren and grandchilderen ourselfs. She has 81 grandchildern, I can't imagn how she keeps up with everyone. And she already has greatgrandchilderen too, 20 to be exact, with three on the way. She doesn't come by anymore like she used to do when she was younger. My fathers dead and her age are the reason. But we all go by her and she loves that. Her grandchilderen who are already married go by her too with their little ones. She loves them very much and keeps track of everyones names and ages. I hope I will have this many grand and greatgrandchilderen some day myself but I doupt it will happen since I have only 7 childeren while my mother had 14.

Beau has been courting Isabel for nine months now and it was about time to pop the big question. He first asked her fathers premision and after that he started planning the proposal. He asked me to join as a chaperonne on the big day. I loved doing that.

He took her to a beach, the weather wasn't that great but the scenery was beautiful. Then, on a bridge, he went down on one knee and asked her to marry him. She said 'yes' and he put the ring on her finger.

Then they held hands for the first time. So sweet to see. They will marry in a couple of months. Isabel already started planning her wedding with her mother.

Love, Juanna
