Anni's fourth birthday

I cannot believe my little Anni is now 4 years old. Time seriously flies. For her fourth birthday she wanted to go to Chuck E. Cheese. I find it kind of funny that when I was young I always went there for my birthdays, now as a parent I know how ridiculously over priced and cheesy it is but she had fun. My family went with us and had a great time trying to earn tickets to get Anni something big. They ended up getting about 1200+ tickets and she picked out a pink ball and cotton candy. She is such a spoiled one =). After Chuck E. Cheese we went back to grandma and Pa Jim's to have cake and ice cream and play a little family basketball. We had a great time...until next year!

This is really a super cute skirt from Grandma and Pa Jim

Grandma is showing her the puzzle book she bought her.

Jessie flip flops and sunglasses.

A CD player that she doesn't ever take off her ears

The Gang

This is a funny picture. We wanted one 20 years later. Like I said Shad and I went to this place when we were little.

It's hard to believe they are sisters.

She also got a super cute dress and princess pj's from Shad and Sami, clothes and a puzzle from us, a soccer ball from Pa Jim and lots more I just can't remember it all since she was spoiled rotten.
Happy Birthday Sweet Anni!

Bangs? No thanks

Well we really didn't plan for bangs...Saedree tried to curl her hair with a comb. She wrapped her hair soooo tight around the teeth of the comb, and of course it got stuck. It took me about 45 minutes to try and untangle her hair but it didn't work. I had to cut it out, and thank heavens it wasn't a bigger chunk of hair. After I cut it she went to look in the mirror and just cried saying "I look so stupid" I think she is now getting used to it and is actually starting to like it.

Big Sister

Anni is sooo excited to be a big sister!

A baby in a onesie...does it get any better?

The first 2 weeks

Here's a few random pictures of our sweet little baby boy. It has been an adjustment adding another baby to the family, but we couldn't be happier. He is such a good baby and we love him so much.

Fourth of July

Some would call me crazy and some did...but yes that is me at the 4th of July festivities a week after I had a C-Section, but what you don't understand is that it's the first fourth that my husband has had off in 6 years. We went to the balloon launch on Friday only to not have them launch (I was a bit mad to get the kids up at the butt crack of dawn and not even have them get up in the air) it was still fun to see the balloons and spend the morning watching the sunrise. We went to the Stadium of Fire fireworks on Saturday night and to the Parade on Monday with a BBQ after the parade. It was a very long weekend with different things on different days. I was a bit worn out by the time the weekend was over but it was fun to spend the holiday with my hubby!

Boston on the Billi Lights

Boston's billirubenn (sp?) levels were 15 when we left the hospital. We had to have home health bring by a little blanket that had to stay on him 24/7. He ended up having to have it on for 6 days. It was sooo hard holding him with it since there was a huge cord and a big paddle that had to be on his back and snapped in with a onesie. I am so grateful he is off it and I can cuddle him like a normal baby. He didn't seem to mind it.
