Happy Easter and Happy Mother's Day

Well, atleast I didn’t have to list as many holidays as the previous post – but unfortunately it is just well wishes and not much meat to this post. Trying to sneak out a little early to get to Joseph’s TBall game. I am dugout mom tonight. =)

Rock and Roll Baby

Niki had been rolling over from her back to her belly for different people at different times for the past week or so now. But Daddy finally got to see her AND Mommy had her cell phone and could tape it. I cannot believe how fast she’s growing. I miss my immobile baby.

Happy Halloween, Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year's, Happy Valentine's Day

That was probably the quickest six months of my life. Time flies when you are having fun – right? Well, hopefully I’ll be able to work on more timely updates coming up. I am hoping to pull together this week a page covering Joseph’s 5th Birthday and his party. =) Fingers crossed.

Happy Fall

It’s 97 degrees and it doesn’t seem like Fall is here just yet. We started closing the pool last weekend and will have it completely shut down this weekend. It is a chore that makes me sad, but once those leaves start falling – I will be happy it’s done.

We had a great summer! No trips or vacations but we did have some very special visitors. Grandma and Papa Halcrow came to visit from Texas. It was great to see them. They got to meet their two youngest grandchildren. A good time was had by all! Especially me!!! ;-)

After months of planning and weeks of preparations, the girls enjoyed their 13th birthday party. It was an old fashioned carnival theme with games and concessions and chair dunking and pie throwing (real pies too – thanks to a fantastic sale at Bottom Dollar). Good Times!!! And now that it’s passed….let’s start planning next years! =) Just joking! We’ll wait until after New Years to get started on that!

The girls are back in school and doing well. Sabrina has joined her school’s performing arts club and is very excited. Jaime is entering her 3rd year of cheerleading and also enjoying being an eighth grader! I registered Junior for TBall (after missing the Spring Blastball sign up by 1 day!) and he was soooooo excited to start his practice on August 21st! He is really enjoying TBall and even maturing a little it seems. He is the youngest on the team and will be able to play for 2 more years, if it’s something he wants to continue.

After purchasing a fog machine and strobe light with their birthday money. We decided to have a Halloween Party/Haunted Basement Maze. Now if I could just have a yard sale to clear out the basement – we could starting decorating!!!

I just realized I hadn’t mentioned Little Miss Niki Lynn yet in this post. Well she is doing GREAT! She is such a happy, sweet baby who love to laugh, especially at her brother! She’s an eater though! She is eating everything out there (’cept milk, eggs, fish and peanuts) but the rest of the food items of the world – look out – or she’ll eat you! As I type she has 6 teeth showing and 2 just under the surface. She cruises furniture with ease, LOVES bath time and can squat like she’s an aerobic instructor. She’s amazing!

Sittin' Pretty

Niki has been sitting for a couple seconds alone now, sometimes for as long as 30 seconds, for a couple days now. Tonight, however, she sat up for atleast 3 or 4 minutes unaided. She is growing up WAY TOO FAST!
