hanging out...

Wii!

For B and C's birthdays, Granny got them a Wii... you know the video game console. This is AM and C boxing each other. AM is not really into it though:)
B likes to play the bowling and drink White Russians like he's the dude on Big Lebowski.

We rented Diego for Wii from the Blockbuster. That went REALLY well. C struggles with the games we have, but the Diego game is made for his age and doesn't let you lose:) B enjoyed it also.

I think this is such a great idea because you do have to be moderately active to play the Wii. You don't just press the buttons, you also have to move the remote accordingly to the game you are playing.

Here is B playing the baseball...see how he is actually swinging his bat. Awww...strike 3...your out :(

Who's four months old?

AC!! She is such a big girl now! She has rolled over a couple time already, but nothing consistently. She likes to sleep on her belly, but what are ya gonna do? She is laid back and pretty happy, but something is definitely going on teething-wise because she drools constantly and is trying to pull things into her mouth now.

Here she is sitting in her plush papasan.

She looks striking in green...

Who do you think she looks like?

Here is a compare and contrast with AM and C at 4 months...

First Day of School 09

Here is Last Years first day...

Monday was technically C's first day of school. We switched him to a new school where they have what is called "4 year old Pre-School". With his birthday being right before the cut off day, we will probably have him wait for kindergarten. At any rate, we decided to make the big change of schools this year. I, of course, was the only one who questioned or worried about this decision. C really took to his new school and has been sooo excited to go! Here he is on the first day!!

Here is AM on her first day...today. She looked so pretty, but smart too!!

At C's new school, they ask that he have a normal size back pack so his papers don't get squished. He borrowed Daddy's for the first day, but it couldn't be adjusted any smaller so we got him a new on that we could at least tighten it up. He'll grow into it...

This is C on his second day with the new backpack...that's better. ? :)

Here is AM's Dora backpack. She says, "Look! Dora! and no Boots!" She gets upset if you don't let her wear it when everyone else is wearing theirs!!

Transformer Cake Transforms

This is long overdue.

So remember that cake we had for C's birthday. Well it was a fabulous "Transformer" Cake...Not really, it looked NOTHING like what we ordered, but we went with it. Well, after it had served it's time as a birthday cake . . . .



enter transformer sound effect...

the cake transformed into a BEAUTIFUL baptism cake for AC...

Note the purple icing that was made by mixing the red and blue from the original. Also, note how Brittany took the rectangular cake and shaped it into a cross...

One of the most memerable events from the transformer weekend!!

I had big plans to make a sweet "transformer" video, but I just haven't got the time!!

Thanks Britt!

C got these sweet "Highlight" magazines for his birthday from my cousin. He was reading one on Sat and said, "Hey, let's make these? Did you buy the stuff?" Sure enough we had the two ingredients...Strawberries and Vanilla Yogurt. TA Dah...Popsicles!! I love that you totally don't have to be able to read to know how to follow these directions! That's my kinds of recipe...

will I remember?

Will I remember today for the rest of my life? For the rest of their lives? I cried as I left them to go to work. Why can't I stay home with my babies? It just doesn't seem right. When I picked them up, we exchanged so many hugs when we got home, but how many did I miss? C woke up feeling poorly and B and I were struggling to decide what to do...what to do...If only I just stayed at home, it would be fine. Luckily he pepped up. AC give such sweet smiles, she makes you feel so special for sharing them with you...and I had to leave her...

As I rocked AC to sleep, I tried desperately to remember holding C and AM when they were that small, but the memories fade. They are so big now, it is difficult to remember. Maybe if I write about it... She was wearing pink and brown striped jammies. She is just 3 1/2 months, but they are 6-9mo. B had put her to bed, but she got back up an hour later and was very hungry. I didn't think she would go down so I took another lap around the house. She fades in and out, opening her eyes sometimes. I laid her on her tummy, she likes that best I think. I will flip her over after I finish writing so she can sleep on her back the duration of the night. She's out. AM got up 3 times. Once, she couldn't find her water, next, she wanted her fan off, and now she has to take her baby to the Dr. She means well I guess, but we are tired...and have to work tomorrow.
