It's so sad to say, but it has been so long since I posted that I forgot my password to be able to get onto blogger. Alot of things have happened since my last post 3 1/2 months ago, but at this moment I don't have alot of time. I just wanted to type a quick post and ask if any of you mom's out there have any good ideas for Mother's Day necklaces. Scott asked me what I wanted for Mother's Day and I told him I wanted a neat Mother's necklace. I have seen many cute ones...(Tera, Brooke, etc.)and just wondered if anybody had any good ideas or suggestions on a place to get one. Thanks in advance for all your comments.

Synopsis of the Knepp Family
Believe it or not, life has slowed down for our family a little, but unfortunatly not for long.
Student teaching has been and hopefully will continue to go well. I love my cooperating teacher and the students as well. They are so full of spunk and each have their own personalities for sure.
Scott is still keeping busy as usual. He is either working, ice fishing, or tinkering on something. He definitely goes stir crazy if he is in the house to long.
Emma is doing well. She has been busy helping take care of the babies at the baby sitters. She loves it, but hasn't quite learned how to take care of HER little sister. We are still working on the "sisterly love" thing.
Emma like her dad loves to be outdoors or at someone else's house. She recently spent the night at a friends while her Aunt Lacy was babysitting.
Josie - what can I say about this little monster. She can be sweet and gentle and loves to be with her mommy, but as we have all learned she can definitely hold her own. She is a biter and her mommy and daddy have had to teach some tough love. Her new word is STOP. I wonder why she picked up this word so early on? :)
Our sweet little boy is still thriving. I have been able to feel him kick alot lately. Scott and I will be going to the doctor soon to hopefully get some good pictures of our sweet little guy.
Also, our family will be moving out of our cozy little home into one that fits a family of 5's needs. Scott and I have thought and prayed over this situation for awhile now. We had a couple that was interested in buying our home, we looked at homes, thought about building...but nothing seemed right. Scott's dad has been interested in building a home like the one we live in now for quite some time. He offered to switch us homes until we decide to build (hopefully within the next 3-5 years). I think Virgil is pretty excited but I don't think Barbara is crazy about organizing and moving everything that she has acquired over the last 20-30 years. She has been more than willing to make it work though. God bless them. We will be moving sometime in March, so wish us luck!
Well, I get to enjoy my day with the girls today. SNOW DAY! One of the perks of being involved in the school system.
Everyone have a safe and wonderful week!!

The News Our Family Has Been Waiting For
This morning I went to see Dr. Frances for my routine check-up and to listen to the babies heartbeat. Dr. Frances had been running back and forth between the office and the hospital so I got to see Tera. She listened for the babies heartbeat but had trouble finding it. She told me it was nothing to worry about, but as any mother you do worry. We decided to do an ultrasound and there it was, kicking and moving like crazy. What a relief! The heartbeat was 142. I am sure all of you have heard that if it is a slow heartbeat it is a boy and vise versa. The ultrasound tech. asked me if I wanted to find out. There was no hesitation on my part. As soon as she started to look I saw his "precious jewels." There is no doubt it is a boy! I am thrilled and Scott is doubly. The pressure is off. As most of you know this is our last one and we are taking extreme measures to make sure. I am thrilled to be having a boy, but it kind of makes me sad that there will be no more girls. But as I said before we are all thrilled. I asked Emma what she wanted to name her brother and she said "Dr.Frances." Really??

Catching Up....
I am truly sorry to all of you who read my blog. I have done a terrible job of keeping up.
First things first, school is over for the semester. YEAH! There were days I wondered if myself as well as my family were going to make it through. Well, it is over and Mrs. Watkins first grade class HERE I COME!!! I am sooo excited. I have had the opportunity to meet my class and I think that we are going to have a great time and learn alot from each other.
While this semester seemed to take a toll on me, my husband, my kids, and my home we all seemed to survive, but now I am trying to catch up. My husband is so glad I am taking over house duties again. I have been doing laundry for 3 days and every 45 min. I put in a new load. That's how many dirty clothes we had. My girls have wanted my attention 24/7, but that's OK with me. I missed spending good quality time with them.
Josie recently turned 1!! I can't believe my baby is one! She has grown up so fast and I feel like I have missed out on alot while being in school. I feel guilty, but she knows I love her very, very much. I will post pictures of Josie's birthday very soon. I broke my camera while on vacation in Utah and I have to get the pictures off my dad's camera in order to post them.
Emma is doing very well and is still making us laugh all the time. She has been a little mischevious lately. Mom and Dad have threatned to have a talk with santa a few times. Emma has asked santa for a bra on numerous occasions and she keeps begging us, "Don't take the bra!"
Our little peanut seems to be doing well. I go to the doctor tomorrow and then I think I will get to find out what I am having on the next visit. YEAH! Scott told Emma previously that we were not going to discuss girls names only boys. Now, when someone asks her if mommy is going to have a baby she tells them that daddy said we are not allowed to talk about it. That's what happens when you try to talk to a 3 1/2 year old about babies.
Last Saturday we attended Scott's work's Christmas party at French Lick. Considering we had 4 pregnant women sitting at our table and might I add one that delivered that following Monday we were pretty patient with our husbands. :) I had a good time getting reaquainted with some girlfriends that I haven't got to sit down and talk to for awhile.
I will post pictures later when my girls are not screaming and trying to kill each other. But for now...
I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season and our family wishes each of you a very Merry Christmas!

My Baby is 1 !!!
Today my little "Jo-Jo" is 1!! (Her uncle Ryan calls her that because she has a gap between her two front teeth:) Anyway, today is her birthday party, so I will be sure to post pictures of her this evening. God has blessed us with two beautiful little girls who are full of love, life and personality. I couldn't ask for anything more.

Our Little Southern Belle
It has been awhile since I posted so I will try to catch everyone up.
We have been home from our trip out west for a little over two weeks. We had a wonderful time visiting family. It was Scott's first time out west and he had a great time getting to go up in the mountains and look at the beautiful scenery. We also have a few avid hunters on my dad's side of the family so Scott had a lot to talk about. Hopefully they will be making some plans to get to hunt together, either here or out west. I do have pictures to post but it is going to take some time to download them and right now I just don't have the time.
School has been going well for me. This semester is winding down, but I still have some very important projects due soon. I am looking very forward to student teaching in the spring.
Last Monday Josie had her second eye procedure at Jasper Memorial Hospital. The procedure was done once in the office but was unsuccessful. This time I feel very confident in the outcome. Her eyes are looking very good. Josie is just as fiesty as can be, but she brings such joy and laughter to our home.
Thursday we took Emma trick-or-treating. She had such a good time dressing up, but I think her favorite part was Friday when everyone came to our house trick-or-treating. We spent Friday cleaning the house, baking cookies for our trick or treaters and carving out her pumpkin. Emma dressed up as a southern belle and was SOOO CUTE!
Lastly, but certainly not least....we will be expanding our family in early June. Yes I am pregnant! This is part of the reason that I have not posted for awhile. I have felt pretty good just EXTREMELY TIRED. It was unexpected (make that 3 now) and YES I do know how to use birth control. :) We feel very blessed but this will be our last baby. Please pray for us as we try to make wise decisions about our home and a new vehicle. God will provide and show us direction, just please keep our family in your prayers.
I will leave you with a few pictures of Emma on Halloween.
Love and God Bless

We are still here...
We made it back from our wonderful trip out west. I have so much to say and several pictures. I hope to be able to post them soon. Life has been a little crazy around here lately. Hopefully I will get to posting sometime this weekend. Also, as I posted earlier, Josie had an eye procedure done a few weeks ago and it was unsuccessful. It was not the fault of the doctor just a really inflamed membrane that needs to be cleaned out again. So..Monday Scott, Josie and myself will be heading to Jasper Memorial Hospital for another procedure. Please pray for our family and especially Josie. This time she will be put under anethesia so at least she will not feel the pain like the last procedure. Have a wonderful weekend. Until next time...
