I came across this today....

I did not realize how much my princess looks like her Grammy.

Also, looks like they both picked up a few things from her....

Must run in the family...

wishing....

i had more time to keep this blog updated...but with a 13 year old that has swim practice everyday, a 5 year old that is BUSY, a 10 month old that loves her momma (nursing), a never clean house and a job that is more than full time right now.. i cannot seem to find the time. i am actually on the phone right now with HP wondering what is going on with my computer and printer.

things are pretty much the same aroung here. the boys are being boy and the princess is being MEAN! j/k but she does hold her own. garrett tried to move her the other day because she was on his toy and when he did this she bit him. yes, we have three teeth now and they hurt!

other than that things are pretty normal...we have a swim meet on the 31st and our Halloween party right after that.

Hopefully I will get to post halloween pics soon after instead of waiting a month or two.

slacker...

so it has been a while. life is pretty busy right now. work is very BUSY. i guess that is good cause we are making money. just wanted to give you a quick update and a few new pics. i hope to post lots of info soon but i am not promising.

Garrett - he was given a new bike by my brother about a month ago. it was love at first site...but it had no training wheels. that didn't hold him back any. he was determined. he was riding it perfect within 10 minutes and later that day he went to the dirt track with my brother and eric. chris could not have been happier. this year we are trying out homeschooling with garrett. he seems excited but we will see once we actually start.

Noah - he has been at camp the entire summer. in between camp we were swimming and competing in meets. he made it to start and placed 4th in one of his events, 9th in one and 10th in the other. pretty good - he has only been back swimming for 2 months. he is growing into a lovely young man. he stands about 6 foot and weighs about 192. very handsome. he also cut his "famous" hair off. he looks very cute. some say he looks older, some say he looks younger. either way - always handsome.

Princess AraBelle - first of all - one of my favorite pictures of her. she is so funny. she now has two bottom teeth. she loves her big brothers. she is now crawling. she looks so tiny in the floor moving around. she is gonna be another singer like noah and i. when she hears that commercial by dell..."lollipop" she immediately turns and starts clapping. too cute. i will try to get it on video.

anyways - i will get back later. just wanted to let you know we are still here.

p.s. my baby brother and his sweet wife are expecting their first. the name is a secret but last night i had a dream of what they named it. we will have to see if i am correct. ha ha!

my little acrobat...once again

back during my pregnancy with the sweet princess - I often

referred to her as "my little acrobat"

"Sunday, September 28, 2008

my little acrobat....
yes i have an amazing soccer player and one that is following in this footsteps and now i think God has blessed me with the next olympic gymnasts."

that was from a previous post.

well my little princess is never letting me down.

as you can see in the photo below -

she was suppose to be laying on her mate playing,

next thing i know she is preforming her new trick for mom.

she is so funny. it is amazing that she is only 4

months old and you can already tell that she is going to be

a little jokester like the boys.

p.s. i had an amazing mother's day.

also, i took the boys on friday to get their hair cut.

once we got there garrett refused to get in the chair.

i took him to the bathroom and explained to him if

he did not get his hair cut here - when we get home -

i would be shaving it.

so check back for pics of that.

also, this weekend i got to spend some time with two lovely cousins.

abbey stayed with us two nights. it was great to have her around.

she really talked alot and was fun to be around.

alison stopped by yesterday and just hung out. we all went

to get ice cream. i love them and have missed getting to see them.

and one more thing...webber's - skip-bo rocks.

great grand parents, compromise and friday

well, first of all eric and i are great grand parents to four

little ones. they are just precious. can't wait to spoil them.

ok, so eric is always complaining that our kitchen trash is way to small.

he has been wanting me to get a bigger one for the kitchen,

you know like the ones that sit on the side of the road.

yuck..i really just didn't want to do it but we compromised and this is

what we got.

i bought a big one and some markers and made it match our curtains in

the kitchen. i think i like it. not my favorite but now trash will

not be flowing over.

i attached a picture of my curtains and the trash can.

my trash can.

last - logan made it here safe. he has been excited to show us everything.

he will be here for a week and then back for the summer.

the boys are all outside hanging out. they really have missed him so much.

yeah for friday!

we have company coming over tonight to play some games and make

some pizzas.

hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

favorites....

moments like this....

remind me how powerful and amazing our God is.
