Check it out!

Some stuff I have made. In case you are interested that is, I figure that family can't get enough of me or the chance to see more of my little people :-)

Although, this first link is a pair of cards and not a LO, but the orangish one is done by my friend Elizabeth and the other one is mine. She makes cute stuff! Then again, all the cool chicks I get to work with make cute stuff!

And here are two of my boys from last summer. This one was in Michaels stores. I have had some up at Joanns and a variety of others places too but don't have those links handy. I am sure this is plenty for now anyway.

Enjoy!

What do you hear?


We woke up to rain this morning, so much for our waterslide play date with Russ and Chase.....maybe another time. Instead we went to Pump It Up to play.

Now that we are home the kids were just playing with Harper in the living room and I was in the kitchen making them lunch. After a few times of hearing them say, "What do you hear" to each other I went in the living room and found them doing this:

Davis asks: What do you hear? Carson answers: I hear the ocean.


Carson asks: What do you hear? Davis says: I hear the ocean too. And I hear her heart.

Did you know Harper had an ocean in her belly? Man she is a good sport. That little lady is gonna put up with a lot from them in the years ahead!

Happy 3 Month Birthday Harper!

ONE

TWO

THREE!

She is Amazing. Precious. Wonderful. We are so blessed to have this little girl, she is the happiest baby with the greatest grins. She laughs and smiles and spits. She is starting to arch her back and flip her head and push around like she wants to roll. Mama does not support this effort whatsoever. I want her to stay little forever so I can hold her and love her and be able to fix whatever might make her sad.



Growth Spurt?

The last two nights we have been up more...I wonder if she is growing again since we have reverted back to eating every three hours. I want sleepy baby back again, no more growing please.

Happy Birthay to Bopa today!



We miss you and can't wait to see you on the 17th! Have a great day!



A few random things...

*Why is it that my feet are so big? My feet have grown a 1/2 size with each kid and I have a closet full of shoes that all need a new home. This is crazy. My feet are lonely and miss their old shoes.

*This morning I told Davis that Harper was Stinky and needed a bath. He said, yep she is she smells like rotting pineapple and soggy socks. Hmm...never thought of those smells, and my baby does not smell like that, I do bathe her fairly often! Of course, after I did bathe her she decided that was a good time to poop. Figures.

*I often tell the boys that they are my favorite "insert name here" child. So, I tell Carson, guess what, and he says what, and I say you are my favorite Carson. Then I say guess what again and he says what and I say I love you. We do this many many times a day. Today after lunch Carson said guess what, and I said what and he said I love you for not putting me in time-out. Does that mean that I need to put him there more? Does he get away with too much? Does time out teach them anything? Was he just loving me then because he wasn't there...so not sure how to take that. I guess he loves me and that is all that matters...

*Today Davis said, did you know that 4 plus 4 is 8 and if you add two more it is 10? Well, yes that is true.....but when did my baby learn math? Also he wanted to discuss what "multiple" means versus a couple or a few or many. This boy is gonna outgrow my brain much too early I am afraid. Thank goodness he has a smart papa...now lets all pray for Keith to have patience to help him learn in the years ahead!

Catching Up....

It has been a beautiful week, much too nice out to be in posting on the blog...but alas it is nap time and I thought I would catch up here before I "tried" to catch up on laundry, dishes and all the rest of that stuff I can never seem to stay on top of.

Monday we spent the morning water sliding with Renee and her family. Well, really her boys Johnny and Josh played with Carson and Davis and Payton and Harper napped together. Not sure what else babies at that age can do together, but it made me jealous...how nice would it be to have a nap date? OK....that sounds weird, but you kwim, right?! Then later that day when Keith got home we all went to Heritage Park and Davis rode his bike all the way around the lake. He is doing better on it, but still using training wheels. He did have his first "crash" too, and while it was wrong of me to laugh, it was SO funny. He drove right into the bushes and came out covered in brush and he told me that it was my fault b/c I was not holding him...hmm..is that part of bike riding that I missed? I think it was because he was to stay on the path and not in the bushes. Then post crash I was in front of him and he ran into me and told me that I should be more careful and watch where I was going...hmm...I am in front of you so how do I do that...he is funny.

Tuesday the boys had summer camp and it was water day. They got to go to camp in swimsuits and they had fun playing in the water tables and "the daisy". I don't know what the daisy is but we might need one since they were still talking about it this morning. Tuesday night we went to Frontier Park and met Chuck and Jeni since Keith was working late. They had a wonderful time on the "pirate ship". We will definitely be back there more this summer.

Today I had a meeting at church so the boys went to adventure camp, and then after that we went to music class and today was "beach day". Each music lesson is focused on a new summer destination, last week we went to the fair and made something to wear with bells, the week before we went camping and our craft was turtles, and the week before that we made ice cream puzzles, today we made these sun catchers out of things we found at the beach. It has been a great class.
