Growing Up with a Mommy Tip

Little Miss Thang is growing up! She's doing great at potty training and now she needs to be able to get out of bed.

We took down the side of her crib and and put up the bed rail.

She loves being a big girl!

Here's a tip when packing up a crib. Put all the bolts in a baggie and tape all the parts together.

Dumped...Olivia

Time has gone freaky fast! I have totally lost track of how old Olivia is in these pictures...

Olivia is so observant. She loves to look around at all the different lights and colors.

It's starting to get so nice outside! 

Olivia is so happy to be in this world! And we love having her in our family.

Yes. She looks like she's going to have red in her hair!!!

Olivia sleeps so well!!! She goes to bed at eight thirty or nine and wakes up at five to eat! I never thought I would get a baby that sleeps!

Her eyes are still changing colors, but they look like they're going to be dark.

She loves looking around on her play mat!

Tummy Time!

Olivia had her Baby Blessing on May 3rd! We're so grateful to those who could make it!

Olivia is fitting in with our chunks! We love her so much!!!

Dumped...Elizabeth

Elizabeth has surprised us and turned into quite the clown! She's always trying to make us laugh and will randomly burst into laughter herself!

She still loves being around me and Jon and will rarely go and play with her brothers. If Olivia is awake, you can bet, Elizabeth will be by her side, she just loves her baby. Sometimes she forgets she's almost two and will try to be a mommy with baby sister.

Elizabeth is rocking at potty training and she's not even two yet!

She's slowly starting to say real words, I still have to translate through the question game.

I love her hair! And she's starting to enjoy having her hair played with. Sometimes Elizabeth will bring me a brush and she'll sit on my lap and we'll brush for a while.

I love my little princess! And she's got us all around her fun little finger.

Dumped... Michael

Michael is my little heart throb. He loves to run up and give hugs and hold hands.

When he gets excited his voice goes high pitched! He loves to play with his brother, but just as easily will go outside and play on his own.

Michael loves to help with dishes and vacuuming, but for some reason when it's time to pick up the play room his tummy hurts or he's tired and needs a break. Hahaha he cracks me up.

Michael is signed up for the three year old preschool class next year and I can't wait to watch him learn!

Dumped... Timothy

Timothy is quite the character! 

He is so smart and will let you know it!

You know if he really had fun, if he talks about it for the next year or so.

I know I used these pictures in the last post, but it's so rare to have pictures of him with a real smile.

Tim is about to finish his first year of pre-school and I can't believe it!

Time has gone too fast!

He had a program, but his church pants were at Grandma's house. So we had a good laugh that he was like a news anchor, nice on top, chill below.

I video taped his program on Jon's iPad, so I'll have to post that later.

(I say that a lot... I really need a good camera that can do all this stuff and I won't have to borrow everyone's stuff)

His latest deal is, take a nice picture first then a silly picture.

Today he had his last class. Tomorrow is the Kangaroo zoo and then school is done until the fall!

Tim has LOVED Knowledge Adventure "Mini" School! I would recommend them in a heart beat! He knows his  ABC sounds, can count to 20, learned about insects (his favorite), planets, and so so so much more! Thank you Ladies!!!

Dumped...Family

I know I photo dump all the time... But hey. I'm a mom of four and don't have time for pretty blogs. This is for my family's memories and to keep family and friends in the loop! So there! :)

I love how close my kids are! People look at me like I'm crazy when I say their ages or say, "Bless you child!" But this is my family and we're already really close friends.

My kids love it when Uncle Kevin comes to visit!

Kisses. Lots and lots of kisses.

New hats.

Such a big sister! I finished changing the baby and once I get up, Elizabeth takes my place and re-dresses her.

Hair Cuts!!!

And of course we have to take hair cut pictures

We are now doing bath time in shifts. Girls and boys.

Snack time on Grandma's Porch!

Daddy's Girls!

My boys are always off playing with each other and Elizabeth is still by my side throughout most of the day, so the girls get lots of pictures :)
