A First.....

Today i took Cailin for her VERY FIRST Mother/Daughter mani pedi....

She picked out the polish....and of course (much to my horror) she picked out 2 shades...one for fingers and one for toes (My matching "thing" is flipping out on the inside)

I know she had fun, but I cannot find words to tell you how much I loved doing this together...it may have to be our new thing...until Reegan is old enough to join in the fun too!!!!!!!

You KNOW your daughters watch too much MMA when...

You put them in a Bear Hug and they yell.. I TAP, I TAP!!!!!

It's a Love/Hate Thing

My Reegee still refuses to give up her paci.... I absolutely, positively, cannot stand it.

BUT... there is something so sweet about her lil sleeping face sucking away.

Any suggestions on getting her to give it up? we've trieed cold turkey twice and it never lasts......

Before there were 4 lil girls....

There was a young, crazy in love couple!!!!

7 years ago today my best friend became my boyfriend... and 15 months later my husband.

We knew nothing.... EXCEPT that we were crazy in love and were gonna be together.

and here we are.... still crazy, still in love, still together.... with 4 lil birds that make it even better!!!!!

in the words of the ever dysfunctional Gosselin Family....

It might be a crazy life, but it's OUR life

These are a few of my favorite things...

Sunshine.
Swings.
Smiles.

and we enjoyed them all today!!!!!!!

These days i don't get my camera out much...Bad Mommy... Thank Goodness we have found the worlds GREATEST photographer ever( if you live in whatcom county you need to call her) BIG THANK YOU Miss Mary for leading me to her with your FANTASTIC family photos

ANYWHO... this is a picture of what life looks like right now, PERFECTLY Imperfect. I truly am the mom of the most beautiful, breath taking wonderful little girls. And you know what else I am....

LUCKY

Today...

Reegan called for me from the bathroom...when i arrived she was immersed in the toilet and said "Mommy me take bath in toilet"

WOW

Complete Overhaul...

I have decided.

Its time for a new look, a new approach.

Every day I say I am going to update about this or that and then, well its a looong list. Life gets busy around here and it gets put off until tomorrow, again and again.

I tried to update the big things, BUT the real beauty is in the little everyday things. The things that bring me to tears of joy, pull out my hair in frustration, laugh so hard I wet myself (REALLY my bladder is not so good these days). My life... My life with girls. 4 beautiful, silly birds who make my life, well my life. A life I never dreamed of. The things I want to remember, Cailin singing my favorite Lit song, or Reegan telling me I am her best friend. or how Kieryn will let nothing keep her from crawling into mhy lap anytime its free or how Adysen gazes at me and I cant remember what life was like without her. So my new approach is going to be that...daily (well almost daily) updates of the lil things...good...bad...and sometimes ugly.

So just to catch you up.
The highlight reel...

Adysen is 3 months old...and still so easy going. sleeping thru the night and some days into the early afternoon

Kieryn is 15 months old and still refusing to walk. She loves the summer and patty cake."Roooooolllll it"

Reegan is, well, Reegan. Counting to ten, singing her ABC's and doing everything she can to keep up with her BIG sister and best friend, Cailin

Cailin is Big sister extraordinaire. So helpful(too helpful at times). Loves the slip and slide and CANNOT wait for kindergarten, even though she hasn't even started PreK 4 yet :):)

Daddy and Mommy are enjoying the summer, no school for daddy so we have more time for family. We have decided our family may not be completely complete. So we have selected a date and if we are blessed with another pregnancy by then, well we are going to have another baby obviously, and if we aren't we are going to take a permanent step to stay Daddy, Mommy and 4 lil ladies.
