Kids ~ October 28, 2009

Okay, I have tried to upload some pictures 10 times in the last month and it keeps giving me the same dang error. I have refreshed the page, restarted my computer, and will try to randomly throughout the day. I've decided blogger must not like me. Anyways, things have been crazy, busy, and fun. I am just going to journal a little bit about each of our adorable children.

ETHAN: This little fellar just knows how to make my day. He randomly says the cutest things, he just makes me melt! He is also very cooky and very smart. (Don't all moms think their kids are smart!!?) He tells me all the time how he loves school. He has amazing writing and reading skills for a first grader. He loves to play catch and hit balls with his Dad. He loves playing Wii games, mostly Mario ones. He is the best older brother to Lydia, always teaching her things and explaining the tiniest details to her. Ethan loves his baby sisters, always looking out for them. When his friends come over, he tells them that they have to wash their hands. He recently declared Tuesdays as "Peanut Butter cookie day." Although we haven't followed through with it, something always seems to come up. I love my Ethan boy.

LYDIA: This little muffin is Mommys biggest helper. She loves to entertain the babies, putting blankets on them, talking in her cute baby voice, playing with their toys, and just making sure they are okay. She told me yesterday, "Mom, that baby is freaking out, the one with the BIG eyes!" Hilarious, I tell ya. She just LOVES preschool. I was debating putting her in this year and am so glad I did. She is so happy going, and so happy when I pick her up. She is gaining her independance more and more each day. She loves to snuggle at bedtime, and come morning, she wants to snuggle both babies in her bed. Lydia loves her dollys, coloring, helping Mom 'stamp it' and playing games with her big brother. I just love this girl.

ASHLYN: This tiny is not so tiny anymore. She has some mean thighs and the cutest double chin you'd ever see! She has the cutest laugh and just lights up a room with her twinkly eyes and smile. She loves to roll over. Lydia says, "Look Mom, she roly poly again." She loves to grab anything within her reach. Ash normally has a fistful of my hair wrapped into her chub nubber fingers. She has broken 2 teeth on the bottom and thinks I am her teether. She keeps biting me and I have flicked her a couple times, but it makes me feel bad. Any suggestions? This little angel is usually mellow and chill, will always pass her turn to eat because Brielle screams louder, and gets distracted by any noise and will have to LOOK with her BIG eyes! She is definitely my little night owl baby, goes to bed late and is bright eyed in the middle of the night for hours too. I am thinkin' she is going to be my little stamp assistant in the wee hours!

BRIELLE: This tiny is such a ham. She loves to be held. She thinks she is always hungry. So she eats and spits up constantly. She has an ear piercing cry BUT a smile just as loud! Lydia says. "Mom, this baby a talkin, talkin." She loves to jibber jabber. She sleeps ALOT more than Ash, thanks baby doll!! You can see the determination in her eyes as she scoots around and grabs toys. She is a grabby patty too. While Ashlyn has been growing teeth, this little sprout has been busy growing some hair. These little tinies love to sit by each other and play with each others hands. Belle is pretty chill too, she enjoys her bouncer and a tv show here and there (so does Ash)! We are so blessed to have these little tinies in our family. They bring all of us so much happiness and joy.
