Elijah Is Offically Walking!

We started practicing on Tuesday 8/28 in the living room. He's been standing straight and inching his way around the couch and end tables. He is definately my "cautious" child. His laid back personality didn't really produce too much intrest in walking incomparison to my two inquisitive older girls. With an active toddler and a tween-ager, Jared and I were in NO rush to have an extra pair of feet heading towards world domination! LOL :D

Here's the first two videos we took yesterday evening. First he's heading towards Da-Da and than towards his Ma-Ma. We are SO PROUD of him! He was so excited and giggly! (excuse our hotmess selves...we had just finished making dinner, cleaning dishes/kitchen, taking the little ones a bath, pj's, and tucking in Briana all before 7:50pm)

5th Grade Rocks

 

Cannot believe this will be my first born's last year in elementry! Seriously where does the time go? Luckily she still wanted me to take her on her first day and didn't mind the pictures! :) My mom surprised her and spent the night the before the "big" day and joined us for our traditional donuts. Here are some sweet pictures of my sweet girl. She was super excited when she found out she got the "nice/fun" teacher and her bff was in her class.

Pink Vs.Blue Gender Reveal Party

I went in for a regular sono checkup on August 10th Friday and the sonographer told me that she had no problem telling me what I was having IF the baby showed. Since my sono appointment to see the sex of the baby wasn't until a few more weeks- I didn't think she would be able to see so soon so Jared did not accompany me to this appointment. To my surprise, the sonographer was able to see but I stopped her and told her since my husband has ALWAYS been there in all my gender revealing appointments, I didn't want to know simply write the sex in a peice of paper and seal it in an envelope. I knew I had to plan one of these parties asap! The temptation was killing us! We gave the mysterious envelope to Party City with the instructions. All my friends and family were on Team Blue except me lol So glad I was wrong! :)

2+2+2= Family Nest of Six

First I told my husband the great news, then the kids, my immediate family and then I announced it publically to all my extended family and friends! I couldn't wait any longer! First of, I couldn't believe I was pregnant (again) lol since I was still nuring Elijah but like the doctor pointed out since he was starting to eat more solids and less milk....made for a "fertile me" We knew we wanted four little critters but assumed it would be a few more months til that happend. GOD always has it ALL planned out even if we think we have it under control.

Yay! I Offically Have a Family Blog!

What better way to keep in contact with all my family and friends especially when we are all pulled in different directions.


This is one of the first sonograms of my newest baby! I was only 10 weeks at the time. I found out I was pregnant on June 15th Friday and couldn't wait to tell Jared but since Father's Day was that Sunday the 17th; I decided to wait and give him the best Father's Day Gift! :)
