Blessed!

After watching "My Sisters Keeper" this weekend and having a potentially harmful accident with Lizzy, I have realized how blessed I am. We may not have the most money, the biggest car, or the biggest house, but my children and family are healthy and all here. I love the life I lead and really need to start focusing on enjoying it and not worrying about what we don't have!!! Love your life!!!!!!

Each in their own time!

My three girls are so alike yet so different. The differences showed yesterday when we were at Grandma and Papa's pool. Jenna loves the pool right from the beginning and wanted to drink the water and just chilled in her float. Lizzy also loves the water but wanted to constantly be on hte move and swimming. Then there is my Skylar. As you may have read before she was in swim lessons and was pretty timid about them. Then yesterday she decided that the pool was a pretty neat place to be and she just got in and swam and really hasn't stopped yet!!! Oh the patients we will need raising three with very different personalities!!!

Photo Shoot!

We recently took the girls for new pictures. Many of you will be getting them soon!!! They all did very well. Lizzy was the most difficult becuase she wanted to gice silly faces and it ended up that we had to tickle her to get her to smile her real smile.

Skylar on the other hand needed to pose. She is a little model in the making. With no prompting she gave different looks and poses. It was very humorous.

Jenna decided that she needed to try and crawl and did not want to sit still! We got some really good pictures and some good laughs too. It was great to have a little extra help that day. Nicole, my cousin, decided to help us out by coming and keeping the girls entertained when it was not there turn to get pictures taken! Thanks Nicole!!!!

Growing Up!

VBS started today and it was the first time that Lizzy was allowed to go! My girls are growing up. She didn't even care that I was gone or that I was there to pick her up. I know that is a good thing that she is not afraid to be by herself but it is hard not to be needed as much anymore. I love that my kids are getting independent but it is hard too!!! I guess that is what we are raising them to do is go off into the world without us and be ok but I am thinking that it is all coming too quickly for me!!!!

Swim Lessons & Drive In Movie

Skylar has started swim lessons! She is still very timid with the water. She has been in a pool since she was a baby but still won't put her face in the water! We bought her goggles hoping that would help ans now she claims she can't even blow bubbles in the water. Who knew that I would have a child that is so timid in the water! Hopefully she gets more comfortable soon!!!!

We also recently went to the drive in movie in Auburn!! It is a great time. We went with Kace, Travis and Ellie! The girls all had a lot of fun!!!

Just Checking

I am thinking about really making an effort to post to this at least twce a week with pics and news and thoughts but I just want to make sure that people are actually reading it and not just me thinking there are. If this is something that you check some what often send me either a comment here or a quick email to let me know you do read it!!!! Thanks!!!

Day two at home with the girls

We made it through day two of all of us being home. Yesterday it rained all day and they did really well with playing inside together and Jenna slept almost all afternoon so I got a lot of cleaning done! Woke up this morning and it was beautiful but the ground was so wet that I decided to take them to the zoo! I guess many others had the same idea because it was very busy! THe girls enjoyed it and it was a great day!!!
