double the celebrations

Today we had double the reasons to celebrate: Father's Day, and our 7th anniversary!!

Rob thank you for being a wonderful dad. You make so many sacrifices for us and although the kids are a little young to appreciate it, I know they will.

And seven years eh? On one hand it seems like wow, 7 years has FLOWN by. But on the other hand, it seems like we've been together for much longer. At any rate, so I'm glad to have you as mine forever. I love you and am glad we can look forward to the eternities together.
I just love you. :)

A week with Grandma

Alexis gets to spend the week all by herself with her Grandma. It is totally bittersweet for me. I know she'll be well looked after, and that she'll have a great time....But she's my baby. She is really excited about it, and yet also a little unsure. Already this morning she has told me (and each of her siblings) that she's really going to miss us about a hundred times. If only she knew how much I'm going to miss her.

We'll go down on Friday to visit with Rob's family over the weekend and pick her up. I think this will be the longest week ever. I remember the feelings the first day I had to take her to school and LEAVE her there...I think it will be a much similar feeling having to come home without her.

But Grandma has some really fun things planned and I know it'll fly by for her. It's just another little reminder that my "baby" isn't a baby anymore. She really doesn't even like to be called a "little kid". She thinks she's like an adult....and has got the bossing around of her siblings down pat! Ahhh I love this girl. :)

And the final score is.....

Boys:2 Girls:3

IT'S A GIRL!!
I had the big u/s this morning and we got a couple clear shots letting us know that she is indeed a she! The girls are excited and the boys (well Robby) is getting used to the idea, although still not liking it. :)

It is so amazing to see the tiny little person inside of you moving around and wiggling right in front of your eyes (and even more weird that I couldn't really feel it, but she was really moving!).

I feel like the first part of this pregnancy was creeping by. And now suddenly I'm just about half way! Lets hope the second half goes quickly too. I don't look forward to the heat and humidity of August and September. I can't wait until October!!! :)

boy loves dog

David really loves having a dog. And Cocoa really is sweet and takes all the "loving" he dishes out.

I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later

Haley was getting ready for nap and I was cleaning up the lunch mess. When I went to check on her, I found this:




It wasn't until I looked again that I realized there were names attached to the artwork, and of course Haley can't write names yet (although she's good at spelling Haley and Robby). She had an accomplice. The funny part of it is, they "labeled" their rooms. To the left of the girls' doorway was "Alexis", to the left "Haley". And to the right of his door, "Robby." I'm sure had he known how to write David it would have been included.

So off to buy a Mr. Clean eraser and hope it helps.

P.S. I threw the crayons away....isn't that horrible?!

ick sticky cake

Here's some pictures of the birthday party. Unfortunately, she barely started opening presents when my camera battery died...and of course the backup was dead too *grumble*.
That cake had the stickiest frosting I think I've EVER had. :D But it was good (even a day later).
