Party!

Even though his official "party" is going to be in a few weeks with Cole and Avery, we can't let the day go by with out celebrating! So Cole and I made some cupcakes and we let him blow out his candles, which by the video you will see he needed no prompting! LOL We got him a big birthday balloon that sings when you hit it. He thought it was great and I caught him this morning singing with it! It was so funny I just wish the camera had been closer so you could really see his face! And of course, he is still hanging on to being a baby. He was caught in the exersaucer this morning too!

Happy Birthday Joey!

My sweet baby Joey! Loves to cuddle, love to make trouble! How can you get those two things in one cute kid! Seems like just yesterday we were rushing to the hospital because he wanted to enter this world and he was doing so quickly! Now two years later, he is an amazing little boy! We love you Joey, Happy Birthday!

Photo shoot

I took off Eli's clothes today and he loved it! He was grabbing his toes and wiggling all over! I love all of his little rolls and I wanted to try and capture them on camera. I really need to get him in to have his pictures taken, but this is better than nothing!

Happy Birthday Mike!

We had some fun celebrating Mike's birthday this weekend! The kids just adore their Daddy, he is so great to them, always willing to let them climb all over him! Eli is anxious to get in on the dog piles!

Is January really almost half over???

January is almost half over and we have been so busy! Of course the first week, Em had the twins, and what fun they have been! I loved being able to just take off to go see her and the girls. Mike was home so he was able to pick up kids from school and I had the freedom to go visit and help her out. We went bowling with friends one afternoon! We haven't done that in a while, and it was so much fun! Then last weekend we were finally able to go to Chelan to visit Mike's Grandparents. It was a blast, quick trip, but we were so glad to see them! Here are a few pictures of our last crazy few weeks! Now Mike is back to work and the kids are in school so we are getting back to the old routine! Actually it's nice, I like routine! :)
I thought it was funny, all three asleep in the car seats! Look at the size difference! :) Eli is quite the ladies man already! Mallory is bottom left Layla top right.

Bowling! Lots of fun, wish I could have used the bumpers! :)

Aren't Grandpa's wonderful! My Dad had Avery and Joey outside running off some energy while I was up helping Em one day. Pastor Paul is like a Grandpa to our kids and I love the picture of him and Eli! Great Gump with Eli, who by the way just had his four month check up and weighs 17# and is 26 1/2 inches long! Big boy!

They're finally here!

You did a great job Mom!!

Proud Daddy of 3 little girls!

Mallory LeeAnn (Right)was born at 4:56 pm on January 5th weighing in at 5#15 oz 19" long with little sister Layla Celeste (left) born at 5:02 weighing in at 4#14 oz 17 3/4" long! They are beautiful and look just like big sister Avery! I'm so proud of you Em! You did awesome! Both babies delivered naturally! Mallory was head down and Layla was breech so Dr. just pulled her out feet first! She has her big sister to thank for blazing the trail! :)

Happy New Year!

We brought in the New Year with the Wauds and the Piovesans and had a lot of fun! The kids all stayed up for the ball drop with the exception of Eli and Joey, who really didn't have a choice! I hope this New Year brings many blessings to you! I can't wait to see what 2009 has in store for our family!
