Bedtime crazies....

Here is a glimpse of how crazy it can get around bedtime. To night for instance, bedtime came and I had one little redhead running around the yard with just a hat on (neighbors have to love that), one little girl ready and all decked out (including eye mask, ha!), and then one running out of the house with a Spiderman tattoo on her FOREHEAD (major scrubbing to ensure it is off for church!). Crazy, but I do love it.

Big Precious...

Can't believe how fast my sweet boy is growing up.  This past week was a big milestone week.  He conquered sitting up well, decided to get into a sitting position on his own, thought it might be cool to get to point a to point b via army crawl....and if that wasn't enough, he grew two teeth (well they started cutting through).  Just can't believe my baby is getting to be a big baby (or older baby I should say!)

Here is Big Precious:

This was actually taken before the teeth cut through, so this is officially his last toothless (mouth full of gums as I like to say) smile picture.  Not that I'm sentimental or anything!

Red, white and blue

We had a great 4th.  Lots of fun and food with our families.  Doesn't get much better than that.

 Our real little red headed firecracker!!

"I would like to thank the academy...."

The words from her mouth at this moment were "I just can't believe it!!"   Can we say DRAMA???!!!  Ha!  Pretty cute.

Ella had her Buckaroo camp this week and LOVED it! She got to ride Muffin everyday. They has a little "rodeo" today. The teach introduced them and shared a few facts as the kids were lead around the arena. One fact shared was the favorite activity, most kids (all but one may I add) said horse riding. Ella's???.....oh, hers was eating snowcones! Ha!
They also had a trophy presentation and this may have been the highlight of Ella's life thus far. After receiving hers, she exclaimed "I've never got one of these before!!". You really would have thought she had just won an Oscar.

Oops...forgot to include this one in the last post. This one just makes me smile!

I know we have been consumed with Maylee these past few weeks, and rightly so, but I thought I'd give an update on our other sweet kiddos.

We have been blessed with the best family.  Everyone has helped us with Ella, Hadley and Wiley.  Ella and Hadley have been on "The Tour of Family", and it is going to last for a little while longer.  They have been with grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.  They have been having a blast.  Maylee is keeping score, and wants to do everything they are getting to do.  Ella knows that Maylee is sick, and has been very concerned.  Both the girls have been troopers through all of this.

Wiley, sweet thing, has been champ.  Grandparents have been staying at a hotel near by, taking care of him.  He goes back and forth between the hospital and hotel.  We always say how he is such a good baby, and he proved himself once again.  

Here are some fun pics of them.
