Welcome Summer! (I think)






So, school is officially out in two and a half days and summer is peeking around the corner. I am ready for the laid back schedule and lazy days of the season, but not the heat! (being 6 months pregnant going into June is not ideal) Roger and I are tossing around the idea of a deck to hopefully help pass the days in the shade. Anyways, here are just a few pictures of what the kids have been up to in the past week. Gabe graduated from preschool and he will be a big kindergarten boy in the fall! (pic #1 - he and his teacher Nisha) Tyler being goofy in the water ring we got out on a warmer day. (pic #2) Haleigh actually falling over, but looking like she is striking a pose! (pic #3 - It may be a little bright, but it was super funny to me) Also of note is that we finally took the step and moved Haleigh to her toddler bed, which we fondly call her "new bed" because that sounded cooler. She is so cute in it! It makes her seem like such a grown up big girl. She has done amazing! I was really worried she would figure out she can get out, but she has only snuck out a couple of times in the two weeks since she has been in it. She actually fell asleep standing up next to it last night. So, when I went to check on her I had to take a picture and this is pic #4. (That can't be comfortable) We also took a video of her because I thought it was so funny. So, maybe I am just asuming she is sleeping well in her bed? I usually check on her before I go to bed since she has fallen asleep half off the bed before. I just hope she is so used to the bed by the time the baby gets here that it wont be an issue and she won't wake up her sister since they will be sharing a room. I am sure time will go super fast but I feel like I have been saying only 4 months left for a year! Well, one last picture posted is a pic of Roger with his "Father's Day" present - his new mountain bike. (pic #5) Love you all and hope this posting makes you smile.

Think Pink




Well, we went in for our ultra sound today and everything looks good, which is a huge relief! And we are happy to announce that we are having another little girl. I am super excited. Every girl needs a sister right? That and I can officially keep the room pink, as they will share for a while. The kids were so cute about the whole thing. We bought some pink gum and told them to close their eyes and we would give them a treat the "color" that our next baby would be. So when they opened their eyes and figured out it was a girl they all three jumped up and down and screamed yeah! It was precious, I only wish I had gotten it on film. (I think Haleigh was only excited about the gum, but she will love the baby) We are looking for some good names if any of you have some fun ideas.:) Love you all and thanks for the "girl vibes."

APRIL





This may be the only post for April that you will see, but once a month will have to do until my life slows down... Maybe in the summer? Well, my Tyler lost his two front teeth! (now I know what to get him for Christmas and it won't cost a dime!) He is going on his first grade field trip today at the Hogle Zoo. Unfortunately I am not going so I won't have any pics to show for it. Oh well. Gabe is doing well in preschool and I am excited to get him into Kindergarten this fall. He has quite the sense of humore and he is learning to be a good big brother. Haleigh is just growing right up. She is so fun and once in a while can be such a little stinker! She has started throwing fits when she doesn't get her way - I guess I could be grateful it took this long huh? She will have to be really grown up coming September when #4 baby joins our family. I am anxious to say the least. We do get to find out what we are having hopefully next week, so I may blog that after all. Roger and I are doing quite well and we look forward to celebrating our 8th wedding anniversary on April 14th!!! I never thought we'd have 4 kids within eight years of marriage though. I think it is our magic number. :) Well, enjoy these pics for now. I will try to be more diligent, but no promises! Love you all...

Forget January, On to February... Or March?!





So, I have digressed in blogging. Life is busy and time is short. Plus once I get started I don't want to stop and all sorts of neglect take place in my life, ie. my kids, my house, my laundry, food! Hey, you are all worth it today. Hope you like the new pics. Hope to send more soon.

Happy Monday/New Years!






Hey Family and Friends, hope your holidays have been fabulous! We got spoiled this year, holy cow. Roger got his Xbox 360 and I-Pod and I got my camera and Roger bought me a new personal computer! And that is just us! The kids were very well taken care of and they are having fun with their new toys. Haleigh got pricness and dolly stuff, Ty and Gabe got Transformer helmets and then Star Wars legos and a train. So, we feel very blessed and totally taken care of for a very long time. I am grateful for all of our family members who do so much for us year round. We love you all and wish you a very wonderful new year. Here are just a few pics to share with you. More to come soon I am sure!
