Visitors!

My sister and her family came into town this week, and I was finally able to meet the newest member. Sydney was so cute, I already love her so much. The boys loved having Ani here to play and giggle with. Kathryn wasn't sure about having to share the spotlight but she warmed up to Syd and even shared her blanket with her.

We had a great time a discovery gateway. Kathryn loved the balls and the water table. The big kids loved everything! I am so grateful that we could spend the day with the Ren's. Thank you mom for the amazing day, you are the BEST!!

We will miss these guys and hopefully can spend some time together this summer. Oh and me I get to see them in two weeks. Kathryn, my mom and I are going up to see them for our annual girls trip. It will be relaxing and fun. Hopefully Papa and Rob can hold the fort together while we are away.

WALKING!!!

Kathryn is finally walking. She is still a little nervous and shaky but she is starting to cruise. She officially thinks that she is awesome!! I am a little worried because this means she will be running soon. Hopefully, I will have pictures soon.

Skiing!

The boys have been skiing every Saturday this month. They are getting very good and very very fast. I love that they enjoy skiing as much as I do. Thank you Papa and Grandma Bonnie for making it possible for us to go so often. Mom thanks for watching Kathryn and Papa thank you for taking the boys.

I am so grateful for the wonderful people in my life. Rob was so sweet and made breakfast for me yesterday. Then I had lots of wonderful phone calls, thank you everyone! Then the ladies had lunch for me. You guys are the BEST! Took a little nap, then had a great dinner at my moms. Rob came home with the best little cakes ever, and a giant flower sugar cookie(he said it reminded him of me), so sweet. All in all it was a wonderful birthday! Hopefully this next year will be a great one.

Sick Kids!

Robbie came home from school on Wednesday sick. He looked like he was going to ralf all over the car, me being the nice mother I am threatened him with his life if he did. He managed to jump out of the car and throw up on the pavement. He spent the rest of the day in bed moaning and crying.(Poor Kid) Then he was up at 4:00 ready for the day, I don't think so! Needless to say he is still not up to par and is spending the day today relaxing in front of the tv. Hopefully he will be able to make it to school tomorrow.

Birthday

Today I am 28! I am amazed at how fast life has flown bye. I am also amazed that I am 28, I really don't feel that old. I keep looking at my life wondering how I ended up with 4 amazing kids and a wonderful husband, and I'm 28. I am a little scared and excited about where the next 28 years will bring.

Grandparent's Day

So much fun that the second grades do a program for the grandparents. I was able to see the dress rehearsal so cute. The kids where so much fun to watch. Robbie did a great job and was happy to dance with Makaylee (she is dang cute). Only problem is my kid is so serious he didn't smile the entire time.

Robbie had 4 grandparents come throughout the day and loved every minute of it. I am so glad he is surround with love. His grandparents always make him feel so important. Thank you for coming guys, Robbie loved it!

One Year Stats

* She took three steps yesterday! She went from a chair to me, so excited. Hopefully she will stop sitting down the minute she realizes what she is doing. I am ready for her to start walking.

Tired!!!

I am officially tired!!! I feel like this week has been crazy and it is only Wednesday. We have started the remodel on our bathroom. Demolition stage is so dirty and I now feel like my house is covered in a layer of dust. Oh well it will have to wait. I picked out tile, Rob hates it so now I feel like I have to start all over. We have hit a couple of problems and are not exactly sure how we are going to fix them. The joys of remodel, it never goes the way you plan.

To make all of this worse I feel like my kids are taking advantage of me. Their room is a disaster and every time I tell them to get it cleaned up, they are doing something else. So needless to say the Wii is going to disappear in our house for three days. The kids aren't that mad about the Wii but where more upset about me not reading the The Lightning Thief tonight. I feel like I need a whole day with out any kids home so I can go and deep, deep clean their room. I started and well thanks to everything else, never finished. I want to go in with a giant garbage bag and just get ride of everything. I wont but I wish I could.

Hopefully a good night sleep will give me the energy to make it through tomorrow. We have Doctor appointments and dress rehearsal for grandparents day at the same time. I am a little nervous about Rob taking Kat to the Doctor's as he has never done it and she is most likely getting shots. Plus Papa is coming to work on the bathroom again, I have a mountain of laundry to fold, and need to finish cleaning the basement.

Does life ever slow down enough so you can catch up??
