So it's been a while...

I am bad at keeping up these kinds of things...but I really do want to have our fun lives documented. So as I remember to do so I will write them down for the world or just myself to read.

So...when your 4 year old comes out of the Papa's Play Room with 2 brand new stuffed animals...you know something is going on...especially when they didn't have any money for the machine! Lets just say there was some apologies to the manager and an FYI that 31 lb. little boys can crawl up into the machines just like Woody & Buz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4 Months Old already!!!!!!!

Man, one minute you have the sweetest most precious baby in your arms...and the next...you pediatrician says, "Start baby food, put her in an exerciser, and baby proof everything because she's about to stick every imaginable thing in her mouth!" This was a bit of a shock...

I haven't started the baby food yet...I need to find some "crunchy" (not actually crunchy...it means hippy in other terms) baby rice cereal. She is starting a bit early because she has a bit of acid reflux and they think it will help. They also think she is having it because she is so active, which is the reason for the exerciser, which she is loving.

She is super healthy though!!!!

Hight 23.5 in. (49%)

Mothers Day

One year ago I would have never imagined where I am today! Praise the Lord for everything he has blessed me with. I have a wonderful husband and 3 great kids. T & O are almost officially adopted and my dear Claira is here for my first "real" mothers day. I couldn't be more blessed!

Thank you thank you thank you my dear God!

Oden loves the bananas!

So I got a food dehydrator and have been "dehydrating" up a storm. Oden loves the bananas and mom feels good about our snack time!

Kiss in Hand

So T taught me a new way to say, "I love you" when there is distance between.

You kiss the palm of the person you love's hand before you part.

Close it tightly.

The recipient can open their hand anytime and press it gently against their cheek for a kiss.



To all that I love,

Lani-lee

Good Nights Good Mornings

So there was some difficulties in Michael's and I's relationship that snuck in and we didn't even notice was such a big deal until it came to a peak. We couldn't quite pin point it and yesterday we made some wonderful changes (with Gods help!) in our household sleeping schedule...not going to go into great detail but this was a wonderful change! These pictures remind me of what we do for each other and the love that we have for each other.


I love my family!

Od got D-Pantsed! :)

Daddy being a the great example that he is ;) Having fun with the kids, takes S, our friends son, and starts playing with OD while he's on the floor. Daddy takes Od's hands and S tries to take Od's feet. Well, yes, you guessed it...instead of grabbing Od's feet he grabs his pant cuffs and pulls.....leaving Od to show our whole church potlucks eyes his Thomas the Train Underwear. :)

I wish a got a picture.

Birds going to church

So there was a flock of birds on the phone lines and T says, "Mom the birds are in church"! I laughed and then she went on to say, "Oh, some of them are going to Sunday School now" as a few fly away.

On the Upside...

So I want to start this blog because I don't want to forget the memories of our ever growing family. Mainly the happy (UPSIDE) ones that your forget but have given you such a good laugh.

We will see what the day may bring...

:D),
