Just an update

Caleb is now six months old. He is the size of a 12 - 18 month old child. He is 29 1/2 inches long and weighs 19 lbs. 5.5 ounces. He has two little teeth and two more trying to break through. He has been through so much, he has reflux and we have been fighting the insurance company to handle his prescription. On top of that he has exzema all over his little body so the Dr. said try soy milk, so we do that and he breaks out in a rash all over him! GREAT!
Other than that he is doing well. He says all sorts of things and eats everything! He is truley a blessing to our family.

Aubrey turned 7 on Sunday! It is hard to believe she is already that old. She decided last week for her birthday she wanted her hair cut so off she went to the hair salon and cut her hair right above her shoulders! She looks so old now! She is still the drama queen and loves all sorts of things.

I am sorry there are no pictures tonight but the battery is low and i am too lazy to go plug it in.

I am sure i will have lots of pictures after all this Holiday fuss is over.

Hope everyone has a great and wonderful Christmas Holiday.

Better Late than Never...

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are looking forward to the Christmas holidays. Caleb is now 5 1/2 months old and growing like a weed!

He is about 30 inches long and over 18 pounds! He finally broke his first tooth through tonight! It is not in much but it has broke the skin. :)

The other kiddos are looking forward to Christmas everyday telling us some other gadget or thingamagig they want!

4 Months Old ~ Already :( sniff sniff

This is my little pride and joy! He is 4 months old today! He is about 26 - 27 inches long and probably weighs somewhere around 17 pounds! He is a big boy! He no longer fits in any 3-6 months clothing! Everything is 6-9 or 9 months. He loves to laugh and play! He finally rolled over on the 10th from his tummy to his back. He has decided that sleeping on a pillow is much more fun than just on the bed! He loves to smile at his siblings; they all love him and think he is each of their own personal toy! We absolutely adore him.

He has found his toes and he loves them very much!

He just would not sit still to pose for a picture!

I am going to post another blog with some random pictures next!

Just some Ramdom Pics

Merry Christmas! HO HO HO This is an outfit that was given to us from our friend Mrs. Kristin. Caleb is so big that it fits him now and will not at Christmas so... He got to wear it early and maybe just maybe he will be santa for halloween :)
This is Caleb with his Great great Aunt Elizabeth. We took the day a few weekends ago and went to visit. We had a good time.
This is my precious boy. This is another outfit that we were graciously given! He has outgrown ALL of his clothes. Lucky for us my dear dear mom and dad brought us some clothes along with Mrs. Kristins clothes she sent us. At the rate he is growing no exaggeration here he will be to my hip by the time he is one. Standing he is about 1 1/2 inches above my knee!!!
This was just too cute not to share.

I took all the kids to the park this weekend to ride their bike and should have taken the camera but hey you take 4 kids to the park by yourself! Think about it and you might think I have lost my mind! That equals 3 bikes, 1 stoller, a 7 year old, 6 year old, 5 year old and 3 1/2 month old.

It was a short walk to crazy but I love my kiddos and they were absolutley wonderful this past weekend! (you can't always say that about kids, they will be kids you know!)

Hopefully I will get more pictures of the other kids in the near future!

Thanks for reading!

Random Andrewisms

We were at walmart, where else? There in the parking lot a truck full of yes you guessed it FREE PUPPIES. Let me back up.....

In March we were driving in the walmart parking lot and saw a sign free puppies. I blame it on the prenancy hormones at the time but we gave in and got the kids a puppy. He was so sweet and cute and tiny. Well guess what? Yes he grew and grew and grew. Now the kids do not go out with him because he jump on them and knocks them down. So we are waiting and hoping that he calms down he is a good dog he is just still a big puppy!

so almost 8 months later my precious Andrew says. Mom Please get us a free puppy. To which I respond why you don't play with the free puppy in our back yard. To which he responds he's to big, I want a little puppy. So I asked him what are you going to do with it when it grows. To which he responds thats when you can play with him! :)



We have been blessed this week by a friend in Midland that sent our baby clothes! He is growing so fast. He is in 6-9 month clothing on almost everything. He is a sweet boy who has now mastered his trick of fake coughing to get attention! what a ham.

I will post pictures hopefully tomorrow!

6 Months old.....OH WAIT WE ARE JUST 3 MONTHS OLD

This is my angel at 2 months.......
Here he is at 2 1/2 months.......
Here we are at 3 months... Yes in 6 to 9 month clothing and size 3 shoe!
Today Caleb turned three months old. He has grown so much. I tried to take him to get his picture taken and oh my gosh was that an ordeal! Needless to say the above picture is now going to be his 3 month picture. I will schedule an appointment for 6 months and we will try again!

Other news that happened today..... All Aubrey wants for Christmas...her two front teeth see her two front teeth! :0

She is so excited to have them missing but is not sure about all the attention it draws to her. Who'd a thunk it a drama queen not wanting attention. I don't know?

I did not want to leave out the boys. So here is Kevin well being Kevin. Also this is what you get when you interrupt their game time!!!

Again notice the excitement in their faces of getting interrupted for a picture!

And Andrew Puh..Puh..Puh..Puhlease mommy no more pictures. Just let us play our game.

We all have been doing well not to much else to report. We hope everyone is doing well.

At least I know where I am going!

We go the back roads to school every day to avoid the construction and traffic. Today coming home we pass the small cemetary we pass every day. The following is the conversation that happened as we pass...


Andrew: Hey that is where I am going to put you when you die.

Aubrey: Who me?

Andrew: I was NOT talking to you, Mom that's where I am going to put you when you die OK.


At least he is thinking of my future, right?!?


Sorry no new pictures tonight.

Finally......

Sorry the picture is a bit blurry but you can see the hole! She is worried that she no longer looks like herself. This could be because her brother told her this but you know.....

Aubrey lost her front tooth.......

This tooth has been loose for months. The root was damaged when she was about a year old when she fell in the bathtub and chipped the tooth next to it. Well it started to swell and I just knew we were headed back to the dentist to have more teeth pulled but thank goodness she decided to yank on it at school.

Andrew has been adjusting to school. He is doing pretty well but is having a few problems with not playing while in line and talking when ever he wants. :)

Caleb is doing great! He is a big boy. We call him "Mo". The kids really enjoy talking to him. He has started to really talk to us lately and I have managed to get some great video on our camcorder. He is very loving. He loves to watch TV which is not always a good thing but he does like to watch Veggie Tales. Unfortunately they took it off the air at 11 am and now there is nothing for him to watch. Back to watching dear ole Mom.

Well back to getting things ready for school tomorrow. More to come........

1st Day of School

We have adventured into another school year today! For Aubrey she is an old pro this is her 4th school to go to in 3 years! She started the 1st grade(she thinks she is in 6th). She has a brand new teacher and came home going on and on about how nice she was! She is super sweet!

Andrew was a little bit on the apprehensive side. He wanted me to walk him to class. His teacher is also new and very sweet. Upon picking Andrew up he informed us that he didn't even have to go to the bad seats! And there are 2 of them. So I asked him well did anyone get in trouble and he said yeah there were kids there all day. He says he made a friend but he cannot remember their name. I am guessiong it is probably whoever opened his chips for him at lunch! :) Here are some Pictures from our day.

This is Monday night right before bed. They look tired don't they!
Good morning off to the 1st grade and Kindergarten
Miss Aubrey Montana

Andrew is hard at work already! He is so Studious. Below this is Aubrey in her class and she was not to thrilled that I came in and took her picture. Then is Andrew sitting at his table. And Below that is our ride home and they still have smiles!

All in all we had a great day. The kids have not refused to go back! They are enjoying school so far.
