Mini Vacation

Well we are back in the swing of things:) Our mini vacation was WONDERFUL!!! We enjoying being just the 2 of us again and got some rest. The second day that we were gone Clyde wanted to go to the room and take a nap and so we did but after laying down for an hour I was getting mad and was about to get up and do something, but the next thing I knew it was 2 hours later. I fell asleep and Clyde never did. That ALWAYS happens to him before the babies came along the three of us would lay down to nap and Nick and I would say were not tires yet we would sleep but not daddy:) We went swimming and in the outdoor hot tub and it was -5 out it was freezing but so nice in the hot tub. It was a short run back to the building, the only saving grace was the heated walkway. The drive home was terrible because of the weather what should have taken us 2 & 1/2 hours took us over 4 hours. It took a mere 5 min after we were home and I was already changing diapers and feeding babies. My mom and Aunt Donna did a great job taking care of the kids so I was able to kick back and not worry so much:) Thanks mom and Cho-Cha!!! When can we book you again?!?!?

Cooper rolled over while we were gone so we officially have 3 rollers!!! The babies have their six month check up next Thursday so I'm excited to see how they are growing. We are also getting their six month pictures on Sunday, I love pictures!!!

Quintuplets

I just wanted to ask everyone who reads this entry to say a prayer for the Jones family. They will be welcoming five babies into their family today, four girls and one boy. I can't even imagine. I always joke what's one more, but in reality I would be so scared and excited at the same time. Good Luck Casey, Ethan and Elliot!!! I will be praying for all of you and the safe arrival of your gifts from above:)

Lots of updates

Well I have been slacking here on the blog, but the bigger and busier the babies get the busier I get, imagine that! LOL Thursday the babies turned 6 months old!!! Where did the time go? When Clyde and I took Ella to the U on Wednesday I was thinking to myself how very lucky we are and how WONDERFUL the last 6 months have been. Ella is doing great, she is a chunk and just as cute as can be. She rolled over for the first time on Friday and there is no stopping her now! Ella talks up a storm and loves to smile at her daddy and big brother. Jackson is our line backer, he is huge and long. He has been rolling over for a month but in the last weeks or so he is a rolling fool and will go clear across the room. He loves to sit in the bumbo and in the last 2 or 3 day's loves the excersaucer. Jack always has a smile on his face, he is such a happy baby:) Last but not least is Cooper, he is just about ready to roll over. He gets up on his side and will hang out there for a while and then end up back on his back. He is the most patient of the three but when he is tired of waiting he will let you know. And of course we can not forget the big brother, Nicholas LOVES the babies. He lays on the floor and plays with them he talks and sing to them. He's just about the best big brother the trio could have wished for. Here are some pics of the kids.

Clyde and I are off tomorrow for our get away. It will be so nice to get away, I know I will miss them, but I really need to relax and unwind. I can tell I'm getting old, all I am looking forward to is Rest and eating when my food is HOT!!! I just hope I can sleep in and not be up at 6 or 7 in the morning:) Well here is to some rest and alone time with my husband.

My Ella Girl

Well we took Ella this morning to U of M to have her head evaluated and we have good news. No helmet!!! The Dr said she does have some asymmetry to her head, but it should resolve on it's own. He doesn't feel the need to put her through all the hassle of the helmet when her head has already shown improvement. So he just went over a bunch of developmental stuff and said in the next 2 months she should be doing much more. I'm not to worried, our pediatrician is really on top of things, so if she feels that Ella needs to be reevaluated then we will cross that bridge when we get there. I can't even believe that the babies are going to be six months old tomorrow!!

New year, new do

I was getting so sick of my long, nasty hair so I went today and had it cut. Here is my before

And now the new and improved me:)

I cut 10 inches off and was able to donate it to locks of love. I was happy to get it cut and even happier that i was able to do some good.

Ella and Jackson have been having some fun under the play gym the last few day's, Cooper just wants to lay there and go to sleep. LOL

Little miss Ella is just about ready to roll over, she gets up on her side and poops out.

Cooper is about the same in the rolling department too. Ella goes to U of M for her head on Wednesday so I'm interested to see what they have to say about that.

Out with the old & in with the new

Why is it that it took me a week to put up all of my Christmas decorations and one day to take everything down? I was so ready for the holiday's to be over, but I always hate it after the tree is down and everything is back to normal. One day last month Clyde and I moved the couches to vacuum under them and got a bright idea to move the living room around. If it would have not been midnight when we did that we may have moved everything then but we decided to wait till after Christmas and the tree was down and then work on that. So today we were on a mission and thanks to my brother in law we accomplished our feat and after I get used to the way the living room looks it will be great. We just have way to much baby stuff so the new arrangement gives us SOOOO much more room.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
