OMG

BEAUTIFUL BABIES

Lets just say I get really bored with the kiddos sometimes which equals lots of picture opportunities. I know I just did a photo session last week, but these turned out better. This cloudy weather makes for clearer images. I worked over Easter weekend, but Aaron didn't do much with the kids. Took them to Honey Grove for a quick trip to return a four-wheeler, and pick up another one that needs to be fixed. No gifts this year either, but Aaron and my brother did install a small plastic swing set with a small slide on Sunday for the back yard. One of our friends donated it to u, and its perfect. Also, one of my coworkers gave us a small playhouse so the older kids that come over for their birthday party next month will have something to play on. Thanks friends!

WAITING FOR MONDAY

I realize my title is probably a crazy statement to most of you. The majority of the population hates Mondays and counts down every minute until Friday afternoon. Since my schedule differs so drastically, I work on the weekends and cant wait for Monday. But this particular Monday I am especially excited because one: I have twenty dollars Kohl's cash to spend that is burning a hole in my pocket. Two: I also can still use my 20% off coupon as well, when I use my $20 Kohl's cash. lol. And three: I took the kiddos to Target last Monday and had their photos taken and the photos should be back either Monday or Tuesday for pick-up. This is the first time that I have taken them to Target but the preview photos looked good. I have been somewhat spoiled though in the past when I have had photos taken. Normally I have gone to the Picture People or Portrait Innovations where you walk away with your photos right then. Waiting Sucks!! Of course I had one super star baby smiling and making the ladies fall in love-Marek. Then I had one crying baby who could not be pleased-Landon. And finally one baby who refuses to smile when you raise a camera in front of her face, but smiles all the time otherwise-Adalynn. Gees babies. Get it together! I got two poses that were good. I count the days until i can get a picture of all three smiling at the same time. However I am not holding my breath. I currently have eight more hours of work so..............come on Monday!!!!

HANGING WITH COUSIN SAM

Hanging with cousin Samantha is fun. But we think Marek is her favorite. Its her favorite name to say.

LOVING THE NEW PLAYROOM

 We finally decided to set up an actual playroom in our house instead of just having an area in front of the living room TV. It wasn't a room that we used much, but now that it is the playroom, I know that it will be getting a lot of use. We put the floor mats down and scattered the toys. Its official. And they really seem to like it.( Marek and Adalynn playing)

 Marek laughing. Something I said I'm sure since I'm so funny!

Adalynns hand is still so tiny

the total view of the playroom. Its small but it does the job. My husband and i were hoping that if we could possibly sale our home since we have majorly outgrown it that we could get something bigger. Unfortunately i spoke with a real estate agent and its just not possible right now. With the market being so down we would take a loss on the home and have to come up with a large amount in fees and closing costs. Then we just don't have the money set aside for a bigger home. But we have decided to remodel the kitchen. So new granite counter tops, sink, and faucet. This past week I went back to home depot and picked out the travertine backspash with glass tile accents. Our kitchen is going to be beautiful when we finish. I will post before and after pics when the time comes.

A milestone was achieved today. Landon had his first official crawl that I even captured on video. I have already posted it on facebook. I am so proud of him. He was the first to sit up and now he is the first to crawl.



MONDAY FUNDAY

MAREKS NEW TEETH

It took awhile, but I finally got a picture showing off Mareks new teeth! I still cant seem to get Landon to cooperate.

UPDATE PLEASE

I am happy to say that Adalynn has been recovering wonderfully. She only has a few restrictions such as sponge baths and no heavy physical playing for the next month. I can tell that she is so happy to be back home with her brothers. Actually she may be happy to just to be back with all her toys, but nevertheless she has been constant smiles. I don't think the boys even noticed that she was gone. We have rearranged our house and set up a playroom in what used to be our study, so the boys have been focused on that.
