maybe were just not that intresting?!

    I always want to up date but I just think were not that interesting! lol... and I guess I dont think that anyone is reading.

     Grace has now been in school for a month now and is finally starting to open up. She LOVES school and has many friends that she talks about daily.Grace can now spell her name as well as the word stop "S,T,O,P" she is also writing her name (Ii can tell what it says only b/c the teacher has it written above! lol) She apparently has a boyfriend names Nate and they are "in love!" EEK! Steven sure is going to have his hands full when shes a teenager!
     Will is finally starting to adjust to Grace not being home with him every day, its definitely been hard for him not having a playmate while shes in school.  He is getting to be such a big boy and is randomly sitting on the potty (although we have a lot way to go with potty training)
  Stevie has just turned one! he had a small party with a vegan cake and loved it! Stevie is getting to be so big and has been taking a few steps for almost 2 weeks but im not rushing him to walk! It seems as though Stevie has developed yet another allergy. This time its to SOY! I dont know if it is everything soy yet or not but in the next few months I hope to figure that out.

Steven and I are doing great. We miss everyone hope to see you all soon!

   Grace and Will are adapting well to this area... Yesterday Steven decided after we picked Grace up from school we would head to the park at the beach! The kids were so excited! We had a blast for a few hours, we played and then walked on the beach a bit! I didnt get any pics b/c I had Stevie attached to me and the kids were moving to fast! lol!

Will is doing as good as can be expected with the potty training. He has only had two accidents in the past 3 days... I think we are well on the way to him being out of diapers!
Heres a pic of Grace on her second day of school!!

this was from monday!

Today was the first day of pre school. There were no tears... from her at least! She was a tad bit apprehensive but she walked right into the class room. I wish i could have gotten some pics of her in the class room, but they have a kiss and go policy :-( When I asked her what she did in school she told me they went out side... Jeeze kid, why do I even send u?!?! Oh well tomorrow is another day! I hope we get to hear more about her day tomorrow!

     Well we went to a late lunch at 230 and after Grace got a treat of dipin dots. Well then Will said he needed to go to the potty ( he has NEVER done this before!) so Steven took him. They came back all smiles, because Will peed on the potty!!!!! After that we went to the pet shop to look around and then went and got Will some big boy underwear and a hot wheel car. I really hope this is it, however something is telling me I am going to have a long road with him!

Bad Blogger!

        Well things have been a bit crazy for us this past month! we decided that we were going to move to Va beach... so we had to find a preschool for Grace and plan a move... well the kids and i are now residents of Va beach! Steven is still working in northern Va for the time being.

        Grace starts preschool tomorrow morning and were excited! her lunch is packed and her folder is in her princess backpack with her outfit sitting out as well! i am going to start some type of watch us grow blog tonight for my family since we are kind of all spread out! i dont think anyone should miss out on watching these monsters grow!

Picture of the week.

Ok I am going to start having a picture of the week it will be every Tuesday...

     This was from our hospital trip last night! Stevie got into a cabinet that he shouldn't have been in while I was cleaning up toys for the day. Well he broke a bowl and cut his left leg and a toe on his right foot. The left leg bled for 40 mins the toe for over an hour and a half... I ended up having to call 911 and take an ambulance to the ER. It was just the kids and I alone at home, Grace was such a big helper she went and got me wet rags and held stuff when I needed her to she kept me from freaking out to bad! Well Stevie got an X ray to make sure there was no glass in his foot (there wasnt!) and he didnt end up needing stitches they just wrapped his foot up (Stevie pretty much demanded that came off this morning so he wore socks all day!)

           He was such a good boy though! He sat so good and quiet most of the time and even ended up falling asleep. We didnt get home until after midnight, it was a long night!

My crazy veggie eaters!

  My kids LOVE veggies for the most part. Well tonight after dinner I had to leave the kitchen before we had finished cleaning up the dishes and next thing I know Grace and Will come running to me saying "Mommy, we stole some broccoli out of the bowl!" I was laughing so hard because I hear so many moms complain that their kids wont even touch most veggies and my kids will eat most.  Grace and Will love asparagus, between the two of them they will eat almost half a bunch... Talk about stinky pee!!! 

     

Excuses, excuses!

     But really i dont get much chance to sit and load pics to the blog and type up a sweet little blurb about our day or even week all that often. But i am going to up date in full right now

     Ok so we went camping the last full weekend in July with Stevens family. It was great other then it being hotter then crap out. It was our first time camping as a family the kids played with their cousins and enjoyed sleeping in the tent (they were a but scared the first night though). They swam and played in the river and pool and just had a blast!
(Ill have to find pictures from this trip that others took since stupid me left my camera battery on my desk at home!)

     Stevie is now cruising the furniture and he just got his first tooth yesterday.  Grace is a ball of constant energy, I would love to just have half of her energy! She recently got her hair cut and its about chin length and it fits her personality amazingly! Will is getting so tall, he is almost as tall as Grace now. Steven gave him a mohawk before the camping trip and he loves it!

He wont sit still long enough she a high chair pic it is!

         I am trying to get a little photography business going so i hope that that will start keeping me a bit busy. We are just trying to fill our last few weeks of summer with play dates and fun times with the family.Today after one of our 5 min rain storms I took the big kids out side to play in the tiny puddles that the storm left, the kids LOVED IT! Once the school year starts it will be dance and other activity's for the kids, as well as homeschooling ( we are starting that this year and are super excited about it!)

What a huge jump for such a little girl!

I know it has been a while...

SOO.... i forgot my user name for this blog and count sign in until tonight... BOO!

Well the kids and i took a week long trip to my grandmothers house in Va beach the week before the 4th of July. We had a really good time with family and friends playing out side and in a friends pool...

Stevie really started doing alot while we were away though. He started to pull him self up, clap, sit him self up and he actually cruised around the couch (although he really hasn't done that since we have been home)
the wed after we got home we had an appointment to see the pediatric allergist. We learned alot that day and left feeling much better about how to deal with all of these allergist, we just pray that he will out grow some if not all of them soon!

I just decided in the past week or so that i am finally ready to go back to work ( after 4 years of staying home raising my monsters) so this week i started the job search. we will see where that brings us in the next few months!

My Amazing Life!

      Steven and I have been married for 4 years as of June 3! We sure have had our ups and downs but who doesn't? All I know is that I am SO very blessed! We have 3 amazing children who make us laugh and who are slowly making our hair gray! lol... They say and do such funny things every day! I have such an amazing, supportive and loving family! Steven and I love watching them grow and play together. Steven is the most amazing man i have ever met! i cant wait to see what amazing adventures are yet to come!

This is from this past weekend... Sunday we played outside all day with the kids, we cooked dinner out and then ate smores. It was a total blast! We got the kids some cheep Tball set and a cheep little golf club and ball they had a blast with it. Grace is actually pretty good at Tball.

Will also had a lot of fun... although he doesn't really get the concept of Tball yet, he will figure it out!


Stevie had fun in the Wagon. Grace pulled him around and got him going pretty fast in that thing... he had a BLAST! He was laughing and has the biggest smile on his face!

This has been my day... crazy! its been raining here for 2 days now so the kids are kinda going crazy, and so am I!

    Stevie woke up with this awful rash (an allergic reaction from something) His eyes were so swollen this morning, so heart breaking! however once i got some allergy meds into him he started looking better. But this red blotchyness is as good as it got today. 

The stickers im sure you are wondering what is going on with those...well since i have two little monsters in diapers on is always being changed... i left the room to change Will and came back in the room to this, Grace looked at me and said "mommy i made him a head band!" i couldn't be mad at her as he was happy as could be. i then left the room to go get the camera! lol...

This is our crazy life!

So this is my new blog... im trying to figure out the direction to go with it and please know it is a major work in progress... if anyone can help me with the technical side of it like making it look cooler let me know.
