Rollie Pollie Take Two!

"Plum" can rollover from his back to his stomach! Wednesday was the first time he did it. Then on Thursday he was a pro. He is starting to roll all over. I know it won't be long before he starts crawling. I am not sure I am ready for that. I know he is going to get into every thing. I can already tell he is very curious!



Something new! "Plum" just started doing this last week and I thought it was so cute. He wants to make sure he can get his two cents in! What a cutie!

Birthday Cake

As the kids have been getting older I have not been doing themed or decorative cakes for their birthday's. This year was no different, until I was at the dentist office looking through a Family Fun Magazine ( my favorite magazine) and found this cake. I did not make it exactly like the one in the magazine, because I did not want a ton of extra cake. I am not a perfectionist so it's not perfect. My daughter loved it and that's all that counts! Hope you had a great birthday sweetie!

"Apples" Baptism

We had a very big weekend. Our little "Apple" was baptized. I am so proud of her for make the decision to be baptized. She was so excited all week for the big day. She was a perfect angel! I think she loved having all the attention on her! Now she is an official member of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints. I hope and pray that we are teaching her all that we can. Today was fast and testimony meeting. I have a hard time going up to bear my testimony, it makes me so nervous. But I did it anyway. I wanted to share my testimony with her and with all of you so I will share it again.
I am grateful for my Heavenly Father and my Savior Jesus Christ. I know that I am blessed because I have them in my life. I know that I am not alone as I go about my day and as I face my every day trials. I love my family and feel so blessed to have each one of them in my life. I know that I am very blessed for all that I have. I am especial grateful that I was able to be raised as a member of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints. Thank you Mom and Dad for setting a good example for me. I hope that as I live my life I will be a good example to my children so that we will be able to be an eternal family!

Toothless!

Mr "Pear" has no front teeth! He lost his right front tooth when he was about 4. I am not sure what he was doing, but he was standing on the toilet in the bathroom and the next thing I know he was screaming. I rushed in to the bathroom to find his tooth hanging on by a thread. Some how he fell of the toilet and hit the edge of the bath tub just in the right spot. He knocked out his front tooth. So I was positive it would come in before he even lost the other one. I was wrong. He lost the left one Saturday morning and now when he talks it sounds so cute. I sure hope that he does not have any problems with his teeth. I think it's about time for his next dental check-up!

Buddha Baby!

"Plum" Just had his 6month check-up. I love having chubby babies and he is my chubbiest by far! I think he has finally slowed down in his weight gain. Over the past 6 months he has more than doubled his weight. He started out at 8lb. 11oz. At 2months he was 15lb 3oz., 4months 19lb 14oz and finally at 6 months 22lb and 6oz! He is 28 1/2 in. long. He is of the growth charts.
The doctor said he is a very healthy baby. I know these next few months will be amazing as he learns to roll craw and walk. I'm not sure I am ready for that!

I can't believe my baby girl is 8. I know everyone always say's the time goes by fast and that is so true! She is our first born and I can still remember the day we brought her home from the hospital. I remember how nervous I was, we stayed in the hospital as long as they let us! She was such a good baby always happy and easy going, my how time has changed! (j/k lol). She has brought so much joy in our lives. I am so thankful she chose to come to our family! She has blessed my life in ways I could never imagine! She made my dream of becoming a mother come true! She has a sweet spirit that is caring and kind. She is a wonderful Big Sister, always willing to help her little brothers. We are so proud of her and know that she is turning into a beautiful young lady.

We are celebrating her birthday later this month with family, but she felt we should still sing happy birthday and blow. So Daddy made a special "cake" for her, he is so clever! What a good Daddy!

Sleeping Beauty

Every night before I go to bed I go and check on the kids. Seeing my children sleeping reminds me that they really are angels (and I definitely need to be reminded of that some times)! So last night when I was doing my rounds I this is what I found

She always seem to have trouble falling asleep. She gets up several times before finally settling down and falling asleep. I know Mom she gets that from me! I just had to laugh when I walked in her room and saw her. So cute!
