Oh My God!!!! I’m BACK!

Okay.  I know I’ve been slacking.  Everything has seemed like an uphill battle lately.  One of my best friends is getting married in 3 weeks, I am in the wedding, still have to get my dress fitted, but the Jack & Jill and bachelorette parties were huge, fun successes!  I have started taking photography classes once a week, and bought a fancy ass new DSLR to take better pictures with all my new knowledge.  I have started going to the chiropractor (three times a week currently, as my spine is messy to say the least), and dieting.  So things have been busy for us.  But, I figured with the little bit of down time I have holed up in the air conditioner this week, that I’d find new pictures and post them to the blog and update it.  Six months worth, mind you.  Well, with the transfer of all my files to the new laptop, I somehow misplaced my blog software and login information.  Fantastic.  I got Tony to nerd it up with me and tonight we found it, and logged the hell in!!!  WOOT!!

So here I am at square one, about to start sorting through the thousands of pictures I took since March, and to start posting again.  The posts might be short, but I promise to make them sweet!  There is a lot to cover and a lot to catch everyone up on, not to mention A LOT of pictures!  And tons of new DSLR pretty ones!  :)   Please be patient while I work on getting everything up; it may be a week or two, but I promise to do it.  Cross my heart.  :)

So let’s get to it!!!  Talk to you all soon!!!  YAY!

April 2009 in Pictures!

Okay, so here’s the deal… until I’m all caught up, there will be no cute stories.  You’ll have to rely on the pictures to piece everything together.  I figure that’s what the people really want anyway, is hundreds of pictures of my kids to look at, LOL  As always, they are inserted from the beginning of the month through the end of the month so you can see how the kids are progressing as we go along.  And don’t forget to roll your mouse over the pictures for (usually) brief descriptions.  That will help with the lack of storytelling too.  Here ya go!

 

L-R: Gwen, Tess, Nora, Holden in Tess' crib, where they like to play IMG_0769 Nora's first fat lip.  :( A better view of the damage The chicken coop we had set up for the kids to play in before we got the fence. They hated it I can't help but share a ton of the pics I took this night... they were SO cute and so smiley!  Nora (L) and Tess Tess IMG_0826 IMG_0827 IMG_0830 IMG_0835 IMG_0838 Tess IMG_0845 IMG_0846 IMG_0847 Nora, looking grown up somehow Tess High 5 Nora! Nora waking after a nap, disheveled and naughty. Oop!  Here's all the naughty... I mistakenly forgot to close the wipes box so Nora decided to free them all, and all her crib toys too. IMG_0880 Love this pic of Gwen passed out while the kids all read books quiety.  I wonder what drugs I gave them that day??? Nora, upset that she wasn't fitting on the ride-on WITH Holden already on it.  Or maybe she was upset that Holden wasn't budging, LOL But Holden liked it! Tess Gwen and Holden on the ride on, she was kind enough to force him to look at the camera. Our first time trying pig tails, and someone wasn't very fond of them. Give her a few minutes and she's OK.  :) Mom with Nora, Holden and Tess

 

Easter!!! 

 IMG_0965 Gwen's basket Holden's basket Nora's basket Tess' basket "It Easter Time!" IMG_0985 Tess (L) and Nora Nora with a chocolate bunny and an orange egg.  Both were quickly making their way all over her hands and face. Nora (L) and Tess, sharing the chocolate bunny. Gwen ready to go to Grandma and Grandpa's! Nora, ready to go! And Tess was too! IMG_1020 Little man ready to go to Grandma and Grandpa's! Tony's cousin Jen with Tess, who was clearly exhausted from mising her naps. Tess and Holden, both passing out again. Nora I love this picture of Gwen because it reminds me of Edith Ann.  Remember her?  LOL The car loaded up on the ride home. That's one tired kiddo.

 

Holden in his glory, the mess he made with the toys. Nora LOVES her hippo!! Cute little man. Daddy and Holden Get this thing out of my mouth.  I think I don't like black jelly beans. IMG_1141 Lunch time!!  Pork chops, string cheese, green beans and beets! Another perspective on the mounds of food they will consume during one meal. A good portion of it winds up on the floor though. Holden with a Chocolate teddy graham stuck to his shirt. And the wild chocolate teddy graham mess begins with Tess! IMG_1235 - Copy Nora IMG_1240 - Copy The cookies are liquefying in her mouth and turning into a brownie paste and chocolate stream. Tess (L) and Nora Naughty, naughty.  Time to remember the keys if I'm going outside. IMG_1250 IMG_1251 IMG_1256 IMG_1283 In the play house, Gwen first in line, then Holden, followed by Nora and Tess, who wasn't quite sure she wanted to get in. She'll watch from the window instead.  :) Gwen after a long hard day playing outside and smelling dandilions. L-R: Nora, Holden, Tess Eating with plates and utensils!!!
