We've been having some big issues with our computer, so I have not been bloggin' lately... I'll probably end up just posting some pics and short explanations That will just have to do until I figure something out and get out computer fixed

Congrats Ry!

Just wanted to say congratulations to our niece Ry who is graduating from pre-school tomorrow. She is growing up waaaay too fast! I literally remember the very first time I held her when she was a baby and she spit up all over me! lol. And now she'll be in Kindergarten! Time needs to stop going by so darn fast! I cannot keep up with all of my beautiful nieces. I seriously am so blessed to have so many gorgeous, smart, and talented girls in my life. They all bring me so much joy.


Congratulations Riley! We love you smarty pants. Now stop growing up so fast!

Mother's Day Weekend

I had a great Mother's Day weekend. Well, other than the fact that I was still ill from the previous two weeks. We never found out exactly what it was, but it was horrible! My Leah had gotten a little sick too. Poor thing. Glad that's over!

My sweet daddy took our whole family out to dinner to celebrate Mother's Day. And we had such a great time! It was an amazing thing to me to be there with my parents, my sis, our hubby's, and most of all, our beautiful little girls eating together! And they ARE sooooo beautiful! All six of them. Thank you mom and dad for being such generous people. And thank you so much dad for the wonderful dinner... And pie ;) Eh Angie.

On Sunday I woke up to a bunch of cute cards and, a picture that Chris had Leah make for me, and a beautiful bouquet of one of my favorite flowers, Gerber Daisies!
I just loved how Chris let Leah be so involved in my surprises. It's all I could have ever wanted for Mother's Day. But of course Chris had a more up his sleeve. Thank you honey for spoiling me for Mother's Day. You are so thoughtful.


We also got see my bro and his family this past weekend too. My Aunt (on my dad's side) had her baby girl last week, but she was three weeks early and we were supposed to have her BBQ baby shower on Friday. Well, the hospital let her go the next day and we were still able to have her shower on Friday. Char and Scott came down and got to meet my family and we had such a great time. The only damper was that my poor sweet niece Abby fell down cement stairs and had to go to the ER. But that little thing is unbelievably strong, and is just fine. She is a DOLL!

I also want to give a shout out to my gorgeous niece Isabella who had surgery today. I love you Bella Bean! You are so beautiful, and the swelling and pain will go away soon. I am just glad you are okay. You were the first niece I had, and thus, you hold a special place in my heart. I love you, you feisty little firecracker! Get better soon.

And lastly, thank you Leah, for being my baby girl. You will always be my baby girl. And I am so grateful for every day, every minute, every second I have with you. Even if I don't always show it. Thank you for being you. You are truly Heaven sent.


Love her!

Anniversary 2009

We had a great anniversary. Our morning started out with a homemade breakfast together as a family. Chris loves waffles so I made him waffles, and parfaits with my homemade granola that he adores. Seriously, he begs me to make this stuff for him ALL the time. And then he took me out for a very nice lunch.

We then took Leah up to my parents' for the night, and headed over to one of our favorite B&B's. I LOVED the room! It was one of their bigger ones. It had a huge bed, shower, jetted tub, and a little privet eating area outside that leads to a garden. We had a good dinner lots of treats, and took a walk in the garden and swung in the swing together until the sun set.

We had a great time. Thank you honey for the wonderful anniversary and amazing gift.

Cute outdoor eating area

lots to catch up on...

So please bare with me...

On the 24th, we were kindly invited to stay with Scott and his family for the weekend. I was dreading the drive because we haven't traveled any where that far with Leah since she was a newborn. Well she is a full fledged toddler now, so you can see why I was a little concerned. But she actually did so well. I sat in the back with her and read to her and colored with her. We only made one stop on the way there to use a restroom.

We had a pretty good time. Chris, my sister, Patrick, and I slept in Scott and Char's NiCe trailer. Originally, it was just supposed to be Chris, Leah and I, but Angie was so allergic to the cats (and so is Chris. Hence us sleeping in the trailer)
We didn't even know Ang was that allergic to cats (neither did she, apparently).


But oh my gosh, we had so much fun in the trailer. We are just a bunch a goofs!
The only bad part was no one really got any sleep. We didn't think it was going to be that cold. Boy, were we wrong. It was freezing! And for some reason (other than the cold- cause we made sure the babies were warm) the babies refused to go to sleep! When one acted up, they all did. Try getting a good nights rest with FOUR rebellious children ranging in ages 3 yrs-2 months old! But they are so adorable.

We had fun in the 'country' and ate lots of delicious food-courtesy of Char. Thank you!

No, really, thank you so much for opening up your doors to us. We really appreciate it. And HAPPY BIRTHDAY Sierra! Love you, you sweet girl!


p.s. I forgot to take any pictures. I know. I suck. :)
