Sit Up--Crawl--Lock Down

Ok--Matthew is on the move and I mean quickly!! All within just over a week he has went from sitting up and pulling himself up on his knees to crawling. His crawling is not a slow crawl either--he is moving at lightinig speed. All of the gates are now being used (see below) and we are doing a whole new version of "baby Proofing". It is so neat to see him grow up!!! Playing with his sisters babydoll toys. Ally does not like to share with him!!
Yes--Crawling!!!
Behind Bars!!! The safest place for him!!! He didnt agree!!!



Hope you all have a great week!!

Summer Fun

Just a few pictures of the kids having fun this summer. Ally and James in there new pool. They were in there an hour and still cried when I made the get out.
The all american Ice Cream on a hot summer day!!!
James at his friends birthday party in the "moon walk". He had a blast!!
And yes Karmah and the Ice Cream!! She is so crazy!!!

By the way the work thing is going good. One more week of fulltime and then I will be working part-time hours. Fulltime is getting to be a little much but I can make it through one more week.!!!

The Sandbox is complete!!

Ryan finally finished the sandbox for the kids. Yes it is big!!! The kids love it!! Just wanted to share. Will post more later!!

Karmah's Visiting

We have had Karmah with us for the last 2 weekends. It is nice to be able to visit with her. She has a hard time understanding what all the other kids are doing here but she is getting better. She hasnt forgotten a thing and has a lot of fun playing with the other kids. We have been missing her a lot so it is nice to have a chance to see her again!!

James is 4!!

We took James and some friends and family to Chuck E Cheese to celebrate James Birthday!! He had a lot of fun. You can tell the experience really excited him. That is all he has talked about for days!!! We all had lots of fun and enjoyed the fun. (ok I will be honest if I dont go to Chuck E Cheese again for 10 years I will be ok with that but the most important thing is that James had fun)



The kids are doing great. I'm returning to the work force tomorrow so this will be another adjustment period for all of us but I think it will do us all some good. I'm only going back part time so that I still have time for the kids but yet can have some "adult time" and the kids can have some time away from me.

Hope you all have a great week--I will try to post more this week and let you know how the working thing is going!!!
