Matthew's 1st Oreo

Yes he is a mess but he loved the Oreo cookie. We got a good laugh out of him. This weekend he had a dill pickle--he liked it but I was afraid of him choking so he only got to have the juice from the pickle. He doesn't like baby food anymore--he eats big people food all the time. French Fries are his favorite.

Summer Fun

Well it is hard to believe that Summer is almost over and it is time for the kids to go to school. The kids have had a very busy but fun summer. Here are just a few pictures and there will be more to come.

Some more pictures from our last photo shoot.

The kids are doing great. The boys are sick but we are getting through it. The older two are looking forward to going to Mackinaw. They are excited for the boat ride to the island and Ryan and I might even walk the bridge with them--using the double stroller of course. Matthew is learning new things everyday. I brought the walker in from the camper and now we have to watch our toes because he is everywhere. He is standing alone and going from the couch to the table all by himself. It wont be long before he is off and running. Well I better get dinner in the oven---hope you all have a wonderful night.

I'm back--Kind of

So sorry for the delay in being able to post. I'm posting a few pictures but there are not the most current ones. The computer is back up and running but now we cant get it to read my memory stick from my digital camera. My sister is coming over this weekend so hopefully I can get her to look at it and maybe help us (Melissa, now you know we are going to ask you for help.) Slowly but surely things are getting better.

Matthew has 2 more teeth. He got them both in a 24 hour time frame. He is crawling all over and is into everything. Standing without help for a short period of time and tonight he took to small steps alone.

James and Sally are doing great--they are both going to school next month and they are both looking very forward to it. Sally is taking potty training very seriously and we hope to help her along with the thought that she gets to go to school if she is a big girl and goes potty.

Work is going good. I love being back with adults--people always said how lucky I was to be able to stay home and I think I'm luckier now being able to get out and work part time and still have time with the kids. Well I will try to not let it go to long before I post again. Maybe my sister can preform a miracle on our computer this weekend. HA HA

Have a great week!!!!

Kids Pictures

Well I can share some pictures with you from today. I took the kids to lansing and they were so good and they had lots of good pictures. This is only a few. I will try to post some more of them later. I had a long day and I'm ready for bed. Have a great rest of the week.

PS--My washer is fixed--next will be the other computer I hope.

Still broken

Well the computer I use to upload pictures is still broken--goes along with the washer--yes the laundry is getting out of control.

Well I will give you an update on the kids anyway. Matthew has two new words. Hi and Thank-you. Yes, that is Thank-you and he says it clear as day. It is so cute. Still no new teeth but he is eating new foods everyday. Toast is his 1st choice. He is getting so big and any day he is going to be walking all over. I was so excited for him to crawl and now I cant keep up with him--I know--wait until he is walking.

Sally and James went to a bonfire this weekend. They loved it and they even stayed up until almost 1am. Then on Sunday we took them to my friends moms house who has a Olympic size swimming pool and they were in heaven. Sally is a fish. James not so much--it was funny to see him in a life jacket and had a floating ring too. The kids had so much fun but there were exhausted. This weekend they are going to spend the night with there Great Grandma. I'm a little nervous about them going but I think it will be good for Ryan and I to have a break and good for them to see some family.

As soon as I can post pictures I will. I keep nagging at Ryan everyday!!! He thinks the washer is more important--I guess having clothes to wear is pretty important.

Hope you all have a great week!!!!

Still here!!

Just wanted to let you all know that I'm still here and will get some new pictures uploaded soon. Are computer has a bug and is being worked on so hopefully this weekend we will be back up and running.

Hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July---

April
