Rainy day

Its been a looooooooong week thus far, FULL of rainy days...we've been stuck indoors, kids bouncing off the walls!

The weekend is supposed to be gorgeous....and we can't wait!!

Curly-Q

A little evidence that Bella's hair is indeed growing, its just curling up as it comes in! I love her little curly q's...

Monday morning tubby time

Oh Bella

Po' Bella is a little under the weather with a bad cold, and is a little more klutzy than normal (obviously those are daddy's genes)....she fell off the kitchen chair TWO times today, landing on her little face...

Bella posing

LOL....we were outside and I asked Bella if I could take her picture, and she stood against the tree, and said 'cheese'....she looks a little pained, but I assured her she was beautiful, lol!

A little more Trace

A quick little collage of baby Trace, in Mom and Dad's hands....

Lexi Loo

My Lexi girl looked cute today, with her braids and scarf, so when she got off the bus, I insisted she let me take her picture!!

Loving it outside

It was a little chillly out today, but we loooooove having the sun beating down on us outside!

My grubby faced little ragamuffin...

A couple more of Trace

A couple more of Baby Trace...whom I must admit gives me MAJOR baby pangs with his cuteness!!

Kissy Face

Gosh I missed this little kissy face!

LOL...at times they really do love each other...

Home from Maryland

I am home from Maryland, and had a fabulous homecoming at the airport with my family!! Missing baby Trace already...and thankful that I am already pregnant, as he has given me MAJOR baby pangs! Going through some more pictures today.
Po' Brayden...trying to get used to being a big brother, and really wanting NO physical contact with Trace...he completely has the 'don't let him touch me, don't put him near me' attitude, lol! They will totally be the best of friends one day.

Trace Thomas

Sweet baby Trace, who was born on March 11th, was subjected to my camera today! He was so patient with my manipulating him!! I have more to go through, but here are a few for now...I can't wait to see you maybe next month and do more pictures sweet boy!!

Maryland

I am in Maryland for the weekend...kidless! Whitney had her baby boy, Trace Thomas, and Brayden is now a big brother! Tomorrow is our official photoshoot day...but I had to snap a couple today!

Boo-boo Lexi

Po' Lexi fell off her scooter yesterday...she thought she was just riding through a puddle, and it was a pothole. Lots of blood and tears...and I thought she was fine, sent her to school today only to get a call from the nurse, who thought she had a fracture in her forearm....so off to the doctor we went, and then to the hospital for xrays. Turns out to be a bad bone bruise and some good scrapes, so thankfully NO cast...just an ace bandage to protect it somewhat!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day from 2 out of my 3 girls! Lexi was far too busy on her scooter today to do pictures (which did include a HUGE wipeout for my po' girl)...but Olivia and Bella posed for me!!

Jeep time!

Uncle Shaun and Aunt Sue brought Bella a Barbie Jeep for Christmas! Its finally nice enough out to use it AND we're unable to go play in our swampy backyard, so the girls had a blast using it today....and they shared GREAT!

Too much rain

No outside for us today, and who knows when our backyard will recover from all the rain we're getting....the girls are loooooooonging to go out and play!

Happy Birthday baby sister!

It was my baby sisters birthday last week, so we all met at Mom's house to celebrate!!

Happy Birthday to YOU, Aunta!!

Bella didn't take any pictures with Aunta, as she was completely passed out on the chair by that point!

It was also my older brother Ken's birthday, but he snuck out before I got my camera out!! Happy Birthday Ken!

A visit with Shannon

Miss Shannon came over for a visit today....Olivia ran around like a maniac, she was so excited that she was coming over!!

We love you Shannon!!!

Waiting for the rain

Its supposed to rain aaaaaaaaaaaaall weekend (boooooo!)....so we got outside a little bit to enjoy it before it starts!

11 weeks

Got to see our little baby bean again today, and couldn't believe how much he/she has grown since the last time!!
Here the baby as at 7 weeks...

And today at 11 weeks...

Lovely weather!

We've been completely spoiled with gorgeous weather this week....we've broken out the sidewalk chalk and bubbles, and have been looooooving being outside! Olivia's been practicing hopscotch at dance and was thrilled to have one drawn on the driveway!

Waiting for Olivia...

Bella waits so patiently for Livs to get out of dance class...its been so gorgeous out lately, that we've been able to walk around outside while Livs is dancing her little heart out!

Tap Dancing girl

Olivia has dance class on Mondays, ballet and tap. I got to watch her tap for a few minutes today, and took a few pictures....she really loves dance!!

Beach day

Looooving this beautiful weather we've had this weekend! The girls and I, and our friends, went to the beach today! Daddy stayed at home, sick as a dog. We played in the sand, danced on the beach....went and had some good beach pizza, and played arcade games! It was a fabulous, but exhausting day!

Lexi and Alex...deep in thought....

Bella looking super cool, with my reflection in her shades...

My cute dancing Olivia...

Alex, Lexi and Jeanna....goofing off...
