All kinds of random

It has been a really long time since I have updated and so we are going to have a lot of randomness going on. I will start with our summer. It has been WONDERFUL!!We have been spending alot of time together as a family and introducing the kids to a bunch of new things. We have been doing alot with the library(summer reading program, story times...things like that.) They love it!!It is so fun for them to go up and down the aisles and pick new books and I love it too because I get sick of reading the same books over and over again. On the reading note, Elijah has started reading. I know, you probably have to see it to believe it, but he is. I have a couple videos of him reading but they are really long so I will spare you all. Elizabeth is doing really well reading individual words and is still working on sentences(mostly the articles like the, is, and, an...). We have been doing alot of swimming and Elijah can finally swim with his floaties without needing to hold on(for dear life) to one of us. Elizabeth would rather sun bath...I will get some pictures of them the next time we go.Joshuy(as the twins call him, pronounced Josh-ew-ee)is crawling and getting into all sorts of trouble. He has started pulling himself up to standing in his crib and then gets stuck that way so it has makes nap time even more of an adventure. Here he is doing just that...sorry he looks a little rough but he just woke up.

Elijah being a cutie pie.

I know this picture is a little bright but I love when my kids cuddle in our bed...precious.

playing with his favorite person on this planet...he loves him some daddy.

So this was hilarious, Justin and Amy came over to hang out and Justin and Joshua had the same outfit on. It was adorable to say the least.

Adorable babies!!

We were going through some boxes and found some old toys and clothes and the twins brought all of them to Joshua to play with. Then Elizabeth put the hat on him.

Being a silly boy.
That smile...I tell ya.

Happy Birthday Dad!!

Happy Birthday Dad!!!It was actually yesterday which as you know was also Father's Day. Happy Father's Day to all you daddy's out there. I was just thinking today how blessed we are as a whole family to be filled with some really great dad's. So thanks to all of you. Ok, back to my dad. Hope that your day was filled with love and a whole lot of fun! I am sad that we could not be there to spend it with you but here, this will make it a little better...and yes, these are pictures of our front yard that has been recently landscaped. Thanks dad for being there for us and helping us!!!We love you so much.

For all the mothers

Only the mothers will appreciate this. Tell me it does not sound like he is saying "love"?!?

These are just a few cute pictures I have taken over the last couple of weeks.

Happy Birthday Mom!!

I am sorry that this is a little belated but I wanted to post about our really great weekend in Mesquite with the family. The kids and I went up to Mesquite on Saturday so that Jeremy could have the day to run errands and get ready for prom, which went great by the way. That afternoon we went to moms company picnic. The kids got to swim and there was great food and it was fun for me to put faces with the names of the people that I hear all about from mom. Then on Sunday we were all together, minus Jason:(, to celebrate Mother's Day and best of all moms BIRTHDAY! It was so wonderful to all be together. Like mom said, I am very grateful to be able to spend time together before everyone goes off to begin the next exciting phase of their lives. Here are a couple pictures of Nala. She really is a good puppy and just as cute as can be.

Looking Back...

Lately I have been feeling very overwhelmed as a mommy of 3. Sometimes I just need to remind myself of how far we have come. Those little angels really had to fight at the beginning but God answered our prayers and look at them now...entertaining us with their joy.

And this little miracle brings so much happiness with his abundant smiles.

Our greatest blessings.

Happy Easter!!!

We had a great Easter in Mesquite. It was a little bitter sweet since this will be the last time we will all be together as a family for a while. Jason and Nicole are leaving on Friday to move to Connecticut. We know that they will be happy there but we are going to miss them very much.
We went to church and got to hear Dza, Dza play. It was a very beautiful service. We then went out for breakfast together as a family, which was fun. The kids did an Easter egg hunt over at the park. Terry made a wonderful dinner but I will have to say that mom out did us all with her amazing hidden talent of chocolate making. Yes, mom made HOMEMADE chocolates for everyone and let me tell you, she should open her own business. I should have gotten some pictures but they were gone pretty quick. Here are some pictures for you to enjoy.

This is one of my most favorite pictures EVER!!!

Aren't they so precious.

The three cuties. Jonas was not happy about the sun in his eyes but they are all so adorable.

And here is a picture of my two angel boys cuddling on the couch. Totally random I know but they are so darn cute.
