6 Months

Annie-banany is 6 months old today.

 I can't believe it!

She is so sweet and beautiful.

And growing up so quickly! 

But don't let that sweet smile fool you!

When she's done, she's done!

"I'm outta here, Mom!"

 

Moving Out Of Survival Mode

I'm sorry for my absence! My kids have been suuuuuper sick. Like possible whooping cough sick. We'll never know if that's what they have for sure because the doctors didn't want to test! But whether they have whooping cough or a virus that has the same symptoms, we have been living in survival mode for weeks now.  

Survival mode means:

1. The house has been a wreck.

2. We have been confined to the house.

3. Meals have consisted of:

A. Foods that are quick to make,

B. Foods that sound good to the sickies, and

C. Foods that are easy to clean-up after a severe coughing fit bring them back up.

*groan.....*

 

Our kids have never been this sick! It's been miserable, (I'll spare you any pictures) but I think we are finally starting the long climb back to healthy. Praise God!

So Anna and I finally left the house yesterday to go to Seth's baseball game!

 He was awesome!! And it was so nice to be able to be there to watch him play again!

Having A Big Family Means...

 there will always be somebody to lift you up, 

and there will always be shoulders to ride on.

Motocross

Seth has been dying to try motocross racing, so we took him out to the track this weekend.

 He raced our little quad,

 our dirt bike,

and his Blaster!

 It was a very exciting day! (and a little scary at the same time!)

He did great,

 but most importantly, he had a blast!

5 Months

Anna is 5 months old today!

She is weighing in at 14 lbs 13 oz.

 She spends most of her time like this.

I guess the world is more interesting upside down!

 She is such a happy girl!

Me too!

She's finally sleeping!!

Yay!

 A beautiful girl, through and through.

Surprised?

Me too! 

I can't believe my son turns 19 today!

He's amazing and I love him.

 Happy Birthday, Josh!

Another Down

Abby- "If I lose this, am I going to look funny?"

Me- "No! You're going to look super cute!"

Finally the tooth was freed and Abby inspected herself in the mirror.

Abby- "I look weird...."

  No Abby, you couldn't look more adorable!
