My Superman

Happy Father's Day to my best friend, love of my life, father to my 4 sweet children, my hubby, Steven. He does so much to provide for our family everyday. I think the watch we gave him sums it up. He is my Superman, my Man of Steel.  Love you babe!

The Big 4-Months

Very late with Annabelle's 4 month update. She's been getting up between 3-5 am for the last few weeks. I miss sleep. I really hope that this phase or whatever she's going thru stops soon. 

She is getting to be a big girl. 14 lb. 4 oz. (62%)  24.4 inches (53%) Annabelle was such a trooper at the doctor's office when she got her 4 month shots. She cried for a second then stopped when I picked her up.  The days that followed however, she was a little irritable when awake. Thankfully she slept a lot. 

She has started to eat cereal and fruit. Apples first, then bananas. So far she likes them both. 

She is still a very happy baby and loves to smile. 

She is not the baby that likes to be rocked to sleep. She prefers to have her paci and snuggie and left alone. 

She still doesn't like to be on her tummy for very long. She likes to sit up and see what's going on. 

I can't believe that my little baby is already 4 months; time flies!

Enjoy the pictures!

1 Little, 2 Little, 3 Months old.....

I'm a little late with Annabelle's 3 month update, but here it is. 

She is full of smiles and has a lot to say when you talk to her.  

She weighs about 12 lbs. 

She dislikes laying on her tummy and will let you know very quickly. 

She is sleeping all night in her new crib in her room; no longer in the bassinet.

She likes to sit in her Bumbo seat when Phillip isn't sitting in it. 

Here are a few of my favorite pictures of Annabelle:

Oh Mondays....

Not msny people love Mondays. In fact, most people dread Mondays. Not me. I love them, and I'll tell you why. It's because we do not have to be anywhere on Mondays! I can stay in my pajamas all day if I wanted to. 

Our schedule for a typical week is as follows:

Sunday: Church, Family Day (every other Sunday at someone else's house) AWANAS

Monday: NOTHING

Tuesday: Cub Scouts

Wednesday: Church

Thursday: TaeKwonDo

Friday: errands, grocery store, library, Movie Night

Saturday: chores, or fun stuff 

Another reason I love Mondays is because it is the one night a week we are all at home with no evening plans. Most all the activities my kids are involved in take place in the evenings. Do you love Mondays? 

Thankful Thursday...just a day late.

A fly on the wall....

Today was a day. Not necessarily a good day but not a horrible day either. If you were a fly on the wall you would have seen.....

Chocolate chip pancakes. These are a favorite of the kiddos and mine as well. 

I have a love/hate relationship with my kitchen counter. And now you can se why. It catches evrything. Art projects, bubbles, paint, laptop, dishes and more. I try really hard to keep it clutter free but I constantly fail at that task. And that bugs me. 

Phillip and his action figures. He had so many toys out today in the kitchen and living room. You would have thought that a twister came thru our house. 

School work gets done. Slowly and with some hesitations. 

I guess i can share the big failure of the day: Locking myself out of the house as we were leaving for church. Surprisingly we made it to church on time.
