2013 Brings me BACK to BLOGGING!!!

I have really been wanting to get back to blogging. It seems as though the days escape me.  Tonight though as I went upstair to have some "me time" and when I say "me time" that was at about 9:30 when I was going to finally take a shower for the day! Anyways...I digress. I found "the HULK" laying on my pillow with the blankets up to his chin. Gavin's way of telling me to save him a spot because he will be in with Darrell and I very soon. Like he is every night. I had to laugh because he does little funny things like that every day and I want to have them on paper or documented some way to always remember these things and to hopefully share them one day with my adult children. 2103 also is making me realize more and more how lucky I am to have 3 healthy children, a strong family unit, my husband and our love and health as well. We take things for granted,  we get impatient, we get tired, but we have to step back this year and see the clear picture. The glass is 1/2 full. Well, my glass if completely full in my eyes. Carter, Gavin & Avery fill it daily.
My"plan" is to post at least once a week. I have so, so, so many things to document. One of which our little precious Avery is WALKING! Go Abee! 11 month old walker :)

So stay tuned. And wishing everyone reading a very healthy, happy and prosterious 2013.
~Love to all~D

Avery Grace: 2months old




Our little newborn is getting so BIG and is so alert! She loves watching her brothers play all day. She is constantly bobbling that head of hers around and watching their every move. We nicknamed her "Fidgetts" because she is always just moving her arms and legs around like she is read to GO GO GO! A bit gassy, but a good girl! She is weighing in at 10lb.s 3 oz. and is 24 inches long now. Doctor said she is right on target and a healthy girl! Her hair is really coming in more and more each day and is jet black. Mommy enjoys accessorizing her as you can tell in the photos with bows, etc. So fun!

Getting Ready for Sissy.....


We are ready to change some diapers!

Our little "snow princesses" room

Darrell did a great job painting! How cute!

Well.....I guess this swing can be for all Gavin's toys until "sissy" arrives

Soon to be Big brother Gavin preparing for the real deal. He is feeding Woody a ba-ba! And he knows how to turn on the swing and the music. He even told Darrell to "shhhhh" because baby Woody was sleeping!

Two Handsome boys!


How cute are my little prince charming's in their new Valentine's Day shirts?

SNOW FUN!


Daddy' big boy helper had to use a big shovel

The Goose trying to help shovel too!

Not a fan of all the snowflakes getting on those long eyelashes!

Even 9 month pregnant mommy was out in the snow!

Hilarous!

Funny how he won't eat any REAL food, but LOVES to eat snow!

Off to go sledding!~
