AHHHH!

Okay, it has been over a week since I have posted anything but I have 2 very good excuses. Our family has been sick- not the little cold sick, but the fever that last a week sick. I have 2 on meds and praying I don't have to take someone else to the dr! Secondly, my new camera has decided that it doesn't want to upload pictures. Mind you this camera is new as of Christmas! So, I have to send it to the fix-it shop and get it repaired. Grumble, grumble!! As I mentioned we are all, hopefully, on the mends after a month full of illness. Riley is getting ready to turn 6 and planning his big party. I think he adds a new guest every day! Carter is now my defiant 3 year old who has decided to test the waters. He has been a stinker!! Morgan is rolling everywhere! She will really enjoy crawling and is mostly all smiles. She does add an occasional moment of screaming just for kicks and grins. I am going to try and post a few photos that I do have. (I have to get more photos of Riley- he's is anti pictures lately!) I will try and get more up as soon as I can!

We are so blessed!

Okay I seriously have the BEST family. This weekend we went down to Battle Creek to see my family. I cannot tell you how much I love seeing my family. I have the most wonderful aunts, uncles, cousins and grandpa! They love the kids so much and have always been the best! Anyway, we went to see Aunt Tina who is visiting from Oregon and hada great time. The top photo is my wonderful grandpa doing his favorite thing, holding Morgan. He has always been the first to volunteer to hold all 3 of the kids! The next photo is Uncle Josh holding an "under the weather" Carter. Poor buddy he just traveled from lap to lap snuggling with as many as possible. (he fell asleep in Papa's lap) The next photo is of Riley and Aunt Tina "creating". Riley will take anything and make it into something. He is creating a musical instrument in this photo out of a corn stalk! So creative!! I LOVE the last photo of Aunt Jackie loving on Morgan. Morgan was wide awake but just loves being loved on. I don't know who enjoyed it more! It was truly one of those "priceless" moments!

Okay, I know I have already run behind, but we have had a sick kiddo. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! Anyway, I love this shot of Danielle, my youngest sister, and the crew. As you see they LOVE "D" and are always fighting with each other on who will sit with her! We spent the weekend with the parents and Keith and I even got to go out on a date!! We haven't done that in 6 months!!

Morgan is also rolling everywhere. She thinks she is such big stuff and I can already see the determination in her eyes. Next comes crawling- AHHH! Her brothers aren't helping- she wants to do everything they do. This household is going to be a lively one.

My Blessings!

The top picture is Riley in the 12 inches of snow we got! He loved it but he got stuck!! It was so funny watching him try and get up.
The second photo is Carter cheesing it up. He is coloring his favorite thing- Sesame Street.
I had to take a photo of Morgan- she turned 5 months yesterday!!! I thought she looked so cute in her little diva outfit! She is getting so big! She has her papa frown on- I think that she's telling me okay enough with the camera!

I had to share a recent picture of Little Miss Morgan. She thought she was big stuff sitting in the Bumbo. I know you can't tell because she has the "deer in the headlights" look to her. One of the downfalls of having huge eyes! (But I LOVE them!)

Okay, I am trying something new- blogging! After viewing so many wonderful bloggs it was time to step up. We are snowed in- literally- with over 9 inches of fresh snow! It looks like a winter wonderland outside and Riley, the eldest, has no school today. Needless to say mommy is the one who will be challenged to find things for them to do! I will try and get some pictures of the scene outside today and post them.
