What A Week!

We started out the week with just our 2 sweet girls.  Who amazingly enough had more Love moments than Hate.
 Closed out this glorious week with Dad's partner in crime! 
 Our little guy came just in time, Dad was starting to get stir crazy.  Now he is just exhausted!
 Our sweet little Owen made his entrance into our family just before 6am weighing in at 7 lbs 3 oz, and a whopping 19 1/2 inches!  
 After working all night to bring this handsome boy into this world we were all do a good nap!
 Avery was happy to share her blankie, and I am positive that this won't be the last time that he ends up in pink.  We don't discriminate in this family, real men can sport a little pink!
 The O-Man wasn't too thrilled at first but we got him warmed up and snuggled and he turned that frown upside down.
 Avery was so excited about her new baby!  She is sooo cute.  Avery loves her little brother but hasn't exactly figured out he and she.  In her world everyone is a she.
 Our 1st family picture!  Maybe not the one we put on the mantel but still a good looking family.

Addie's Graduation

This little preschool has been an absolute blast for Miss. Addie.
 She has made some cute little friends and learned lots more than I could teach her.
 They sang some cute songs to show off some of their new knowledge that they have acquired thru out the year.
 Ms. Sarah and Miss. Addie 
 Cute cousins enjoying one last picture before we call it a night.
Funny factoid, both their Daddies had meetings that couldn't be missed, good thing we took lots of pictures and recorded it all so that they can relive the cute program.
I can't believe that my sweet little Addie is going to be riding a bus and going to the big school in the fall!  And that I am about to be a Mom of 3!  Wow where has the time gone!

Project Let's Not have a Baby, Yet!

I can't believe that our Summer has just officially started!  Where has the year gone? Addie is ready for her last day of preschool, and can't even wait to ride her bike to school.
 While Addie has important things to learn about and a bike to ride.  Avery has taken it upon herself to inspect all of the baby gear and make sure that it is good enough for our little guy.
 This week Paul made Addie Sheriff of the house, with one task, make sure Mom rests! So mostly it was me arguing with her as she commanded me to "Sit Down, Dad said its not good for Baby." Really 4 days of doing nothing isn't exactly something I am good at, So Paul better hurry home!
 My Sweet neighbors got together an threw us a baby shower.
 I can't believe how kind these ladies are.  I am very blessed to live in one of the best neighborhoods ever.
 A whole lot of wind, and bunch of cute kids running around and some amazing ladies makes for a great afternoon.  Thank You, friends!
P.S. We made it!  Paul comes home tonight!

Ready Set Summer!

Warm sunny afternoons just make our hearts sing!
 All of this warm weather can really tire a kid out, not to mention give a kid a few scrapes and bruises.
 Along with the warm weather, comes yummy fruit!  We can not seem to get enough oranges.  Thank goodness we have a giant box of them.
 Nothing says fun like a family bike ride around the block!
 This little beauty has finally decided that she wants to ride her bike without training wheels.
 It just had to be her idea, the more we wanted her to do it, the more she resisted!  So now it looks like we have to pay up on some bribes that we as desperate parents resorted to.
After a long and cold winter we are soooo excited for the warm sunshine on our skin.

Sunday Funday

Today was so beautiful we had to go and play outside for a bit, before our Sunday laziness set in.  After the fun of riding scooters and pulling out every outdoor toy that we own, it was time for a golf lesson.
If Addie looks to be floating in the grass that is because she as on her tall shoes.  My little one has her 1st thick spongey flip flops, as if she wasn't tall enough already.  I will be lucky if I have 5 more years of being taller than her.
I promise that they only look close.  No golf clubs to the head, yet.
Also know that we have the practice golf balls, our windows and cars are safe! 
Addie really enjoys golfing with her Daddy. Ok she has fun for about 3 holes and then she get distracted hunting new balls or just exploring or trying to high jack the golf cart.  I am just happy that she is happy and having fun.
Like always our Ellie Dog is so sweet!  She is happy to be loved on even if it is in the form of being a chair.  Good thing our kids are light as a feather!

Happy Birthday MoM

Good thing we aren't too picky about when and how to celebrate holidays in this family.  Don't get me wrong I had a wonderful day hanging out with my family and eating all my favorite foods.  But the weather didn't want to celebrate with us.  It was beautiful the day before and and after, but a little chilly the day of.  Oh well, Addie had fun teaching me the proper ways to wear a scarf.
 Our Dad sure knows how to take care of us!  He even got the girls a little something special to make the day fun for everyone.  I am not going to lie, a musical jewelry box stuffed full of money (Not a single $10, those are earmarked for my savings) with the promise to only spend it on myself, was about the best thing you could get a giant pregnant lady on her birthday!
 Good thing the girls only cared about the musical boxes!  My new clothes secret stash has safely been moved to a secure location, awaiting a shopping spree.
 Best of all we picked up Sweet Tooth Fairy cupcakes, Yummy!  holy cow does my husband know me or what!
All in All I had a wonderful day filled with all my favorite things, family, food, swimming, shopping, and sweets!  I am one lucky girl, My family takes great care of me!  I sure love them lots!
