My favorites at the beach!

California Legoland had us at the beginning! The boys loved it but were anxious to get home to open thier sets. Here we are at the beach.

Summer 2014

Summer has officially started. Lots of swimming for me, Tim and Brittain. Blakes officially out of school. He was nominated for student of the year!!! He was so excited and happy. Trips have been planned. Bed times have been extended and sleep is plentiful around here (at least for the kids and I).  Here are some pictures. Blake had his allstar game too.

Brittain at 9mths

Look at these pictures I got of her today. She was officially 9mths old yesterday.

 She is growing so fast...Your so Pretty and sweet Baby Brittain! Love you my sweet girl!

Brittain & Chase

The other day they got their first bath together. They loved it. Chase doesn't play a whole lot yet with her, but we know he loves her. When random people come up to us to look at her Chase becomes like a lion to protect his cub. He normally yells "my baby! Go away!" In awkwardness Tim and I laugh not sure what to say. When they walk away Tim gives knuckles and says "way to protect your sister"

I love watching my kids play together.  I pray they stay this close forever.

To pierce or NOT pierce

Since I found out I was preggo with a girl I been excited to get her ears pierced.  As most of you know I research everything.  After she was born I began researching and  talking to her doctor. It is then I discovered controversy "brutal"some say, "unnecessary,  and risky". My mom and dad had my ears done early and I don't remember a thing. After much thought we decided to do it here's why.

1. It should only hurt for a minute or so

2. The boys had a much worse procedure done that to is unnecessary and much more risky. ( but would thank us later)

3. She would mess with them less at this age as she would at an older age.

4. these things are part of our culture and this makes us US.  Most girls/women have ears pierced.  I actually don't know one lady that doesn't.  

*** I decided to get another ear piercing so I can get one with her. This moment became a mother/daughter moment.  We have matching earrings***

I love you my baby Brittain. You handled it amazingly. By the way cried less then 30sec

Here she is this am

Me and my beautiful daughter!

God knew what I needed. Love you !

That time of the year

Its that time of year again, baseball season. Spring training is up in full swing, I have yet to go to game but planning next week. Tim has gone with the boys.

Blake has officially started practicing for the 2014 Little League season. As always there's excitement and craziness.

Chase just ended his first season of playing tball with NYS. That was funny the first two games then it was just frustrating. 

Oh Brittain is still sweet as ever. Getting around. She doesnt officially crawl but she tuns and pushes off basically she gets what she wants.
