Mercedes First Game of Spring Soccer 2012

Mercedes' soccer team, the Lady Phantoms Blue did so well in their division last season that they moved up to the A division this season. Everyone was very nervous for the first game but it went better than expected. They lost 5-2 but it could have been a lot closer without some small mistakes. Mercedes had an AWESOME game.

Happy 6 months Graham!

Today when I announced to S & S that it was Graham's 1/2 birthday they were so excited but then confused. So, does he get a half present, a half cake, what does that mean? When is OUR half birthday?

Today is all about you though....

You weigh 18.1 lbs.
You have two bottom teeth.
You smile and laugh all the time.
You can sit up alone for just a little while. You are still very unstable.
You get up on your hands and knees and rock back and forth. You are ready to move!
You put everything in your mouth. You have already swallowed some coloring paper! You were fine but Mommy had a panic attack and made Daddy come home.
You have had two ear infections :(
You sleep pretty good. Mostly only waking once a night (7p-7a).
You think your sisters are the funniest and always want to be where they are.
You are a champ at eating. You have experienced apples, bananas, prunes, sweet potatoes, squash and carrots. So far you like them all. During meals you drink water out of a sippy cup.
You are a huge blessing to our family and we all love you very much!

Wild Beasts, I mean beauties

These two can get out of control fast!! They are full of giggles and life all.the.time. Daddy thought it would be fun to tape them together...just because they are not close enough or wild enough. It was pretty hilarious. So glad we captured some of video. Oh, did I mention this was moments before bedtime???

Family Pictures- January 2012

Lacey Barnwell of LB Studios took our family photos last month. I think she did an excellent job. It is not easy taking photos of SIX people AND being 33 weeks pregnant! Thank you so much Lacey for taking our first family of six portraits. We love them!
