MY BIG CUB SCOUT

Caleb has joined a new venture, Cub Scout's. He loves it and enjoys his time there. He has already earned his 1st badge!! I think this is great for him!!

MY LITTLE TRICK OR TREATER'S

We had a great Halloween!! It was fun to spend it with friends and family!!

HAPPY 7TH BIRTDAY CALEB!!

I can't believe that my 1st born baby is going to be 7 tomorrow!! Time flies!! We love you Caleb!!!

TOOFEY TOOFER

I cannot believe that my baby girl got her 1st tooth today!! She's not even 6 months quite yet!! It's to small to see with a camera , but it's there!! The boys were both 8 months before they got theirs!!

CARSON'S BIRTHDAY

Today we went to my cousin's little boy Carson's birthday party. The boys had a great time and it was nice to visit family!! Carter would not stop long enough to get a picture!! But a funny story, Carter was helping Carson open his birthday presents. There was a small box that was taped pretty good and they could not get it open. They asked my cousin Kristi and she gave it to her boyfriend to open. He told her that she needed to open it, but she said it was taped to much and for him to do it. He kept insisting that she open it, but she wouldn't so he cut the tape and gave it back. Carter got it to open and when he did there was an engagement ring inside, he put it on his finger and held it up to Kristi and said I think this belongs to you!! It was too funny that he associated that!!

Caroline's yummy party dress!!

THE BOYS AND THEIR AQUARIUM TRIP

It's hard to believe that my little Caleb is not so little anymore and is going to be 7 at the end of the summer, and my baby Carter just turned 4!! I don't think I'm ready for 1st grade and all day school!! I'm going to be the one crying!!! I love having boys and watching them grow up!!!

Yesterday we took a trip to the Newport Aquarium and the boys had a great time!! It was really neat and there was a ton to see!! Caleb said his favorite thing was the tomato frogs!! And Carter enjoyed the sharks!! Enjoy the pictures!!

Tired and ready to go home!!

CHUNKY MONKEY IN A SWIMSUIT

I can't believe how fast that Caroline is growing!! She is changing so much!!! We call her our little chunky monkey (cute for us, she may not like it when she gets older)!! Her little legs and arms have so many cute little fat rolls!! I have attached some of her most recent pictures, and of course I had to add in her 1st time in a swimsuit and in the pool!! The boy's are so good with her (well mostly), and she loves to watch them and laugh at them!! Whenever she cries , they are the first one's there to make sure she is ok!! (Pretty good, for not wanting a girl).

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

Happy Father's Day to our daddy's out there!! We love you!!

VACATION

We had a great time on vacation!! It was beautiful and there was lot's to explore!! It's great having boys who love to explore the outdoors!! We got to take a boat ride, play on the beach, and drive through the mountains all in one trip. We also got to see Niagra Falls!! That was awesome. although Caroline would disagree!!

MY FIRST CEREAL

Caroline had her 1st taste of solids today!! She was not exactly sure what to do with it!! Her faces were priceless!! Of course by the time I got the camera her faces were not as good!! Oh well!!

MY LITTLE RAY OF SUNSHINE

It's so awesome to wake up and see her beautiful smile in the mornings.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JARED

Happy Birthday Jared!! Another year older. We love you!!

ZOO BABIES

Me and my friend Hillary took the kids to the Zoo today to see the Zoo Babies. There weren't that many babies, but we had a good time though. Carter and Holland wanted to see the baby Jaguar (Diego). We were all ok and had fun until we entered the Cat House! (Pee-yew). Here are a few pictures from our trip.

Perfect day for a swim.



Wish I was that comfortable when I was asleep.

My neck is long, but can you believe it's not long enough?

Even Caroline had a great time!!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

Happy 9th Anniversary Jared. I love you!!

Bumbo Here I Come

Caroline is already using her Bumbo seat. It's helped a lot!! When she is sitting in it watching us she feels like she's part of the action and doesn't cry as much.

Caroline loves her brothers. She is always smiling and laughing when she watches them.

NO BINKY NEEDED

I do believe that we have a thumb sucker. Well not necessarily a thumb, but hand too!! Caroline loves to have her hands in her mouth. She is already drooling and wants to chew on her hand. Do you think it's possible that she could be teething already at 3 months?

SPRING PROGRAM

So today was Carter's Spring Program at his pre-school. He has been singing his songs to me for the last few months. He is very social and loves music and being around other people!! He has 2 little girlfriends at school one is Caroline (like his sister) and the other is Keegan. I will post pictures. I can't believe that Carter is already 4 years old and getting ready to end his 1st year of pre-school. I love you Carter, and me and daddy had a great time watching you at your program!!

Carter as Blue Horse

Carter and his 2 girlfriends Keegan (yellow) and Caroline. What a ladies man!!

PARANOID MOTHER

I don't remember ever being this paranoid about flu and sickness, but with all of this talk about the Swine Flu, I am beginning to become a little bit OCD and a bit of a germophobe. I am so paranoid that we are going to catch something. With as much sickness we have had this winter and me having the flu once already, I am more afraid then I ever have been. I am worried about the baby being so small and young. I keep thinking to myself that I need to have a plan, but what? I pray for all of us, friends and family, that we do not have to find out.

APRIL SHOWERS BRING MAY FLOWERS

ZOO BLOOMS

Last week we decided to renew our Cincinnati Zoo passes. They always have Zoo Blooms in early April, which is where they have beautiful flowers planted all over the Zoo. We were a little late this year, but they still had some pretty flowers in bloom.
