Happy 2nd Birthday Cupcake.....

Happy 2nd Birthday sweet baby girl.....two years ago you were only a few hours old and snuggled up against me. I was rubbing your soft head of hair (and you had a head of it) and you were so content and warm. I remember smiling at you and promising you that no matter what, I would always love you. We have had our challenges with your allergies and illnesses, but I would have never change a second of it.

Happy Happy birthday. Mommy loves you.....to the moon & back............

Happy Birthday Mike!

Happy 25th Birthday Mike! You are such an awesome guy and I just wanted to let you know we are so glad you are a part of the family!

Hope your day is a Happy one!

Della once again making me laugh......

This morning an ant ran by. Natalie chased it but freaked out the second it got near her. Della got off the couch chased it down with a sneaker, maimed it, t

then killed it, and decided to show us all how dead he was. here is a photo of Della imitating the dead ant~!

Vacation photos

Because I have over 300 vacation photos, I will be posting a few from each place we went every day this week. I cannot post any "new" photos as I don't have a camera right now (samantha dropped it accidentally while we were at Storyland and I had to send it in to be repaired :(....hopefully I'll have it back by Natalie's birthday. If not, we can have grandma take photos.....and Auntie Christy too!

This was our second day of vacation and we went to a natural waterfall called "Diana's bath". It was absolutely gorgeous and we had so much fun. The kids got to walk across the rocks and dip in the "cold" water...it was freezing. I didn't walk on the rocks much because being on the blood thinner makes me more susceptible to bleeding and I wasn't taking any chances. I did, however, stand by with my camera!

Here's the photo of the actual waterfall itself:



Brendan helping Della onto a rock.......what a good big brother!




Daddy, MiMi, Brendan & Samma

Anyone for a piece of pie????

Cutie pie that is! Finally I was able to get onto my computer and send some photos! Our home computer is not working (a virus ate it......:( and of course, I just realized I could download photos onto my laptop! how cool am I?????

Anyway, this photo was taken at Storyland......and my kids are such cutie pies! i could be biased though. More photos to come!
