feeling better...

My little bitty is feeling a little better today! She loves the pink meds! I did have to take Claire to the doctor this morning for a yucky looking rash which she got some good meds for, and while we were there they looked in Caroline's ears and he said looks like the meds might already be working! Yea! Now we just need to get this rash off of my princess and we will be in business...No worries none of these little issues have slowed the crew down! They are still little party animals rashes and all!

Beach, Birthdays & other fun things

My handsome boy! Just ignore the popsicle all over him... He had a very fun time at the beach! He has become a little fish...
This time at the marina, not only did he want the dead dish but he also wanted the little baggies on rubber fish lures. He carried them around all weekend in this festive heart container. They even went to the pool with us, and sat on a bench. Good thing Claire just wanted m&m's at the marina.. not sure I could have kept up with two sets of these little things.
Little stinker Louise. Stinker was a little under the weather this week/weekend. She got her 6 month shots on Tuesday which left her cranky for a few days. Then she got a stylish little rash to go with the crankiness. To top it all off she was The. Crankiest. Ever. at the beach Saturday. Saturday night she puked ALLLLL over Chris, then continued to be a fussy little baby today. I took her to the urgent care place tonight and sure enough she has an ear infection. Poor baby! We got her some good smelli, good tastin amox so we should be back to good in no time!
this little bossy girl just makes me smile. Even when she is being bossy I could just kiss her sweet face. She has the best little personality, it gets her in trouble a lot, but it also gets her what she wants. LOVE THIS GIRL.
Corbin and his friend Jack earlier this week
Sophie and my three kiddos ready to go to the beach.
After a day of swimming a the beach and pool, and a bath they were ready to get their nails painted! No worries Aunt Celine brought boy nail polish for Corby.. he has manly blue and green nails.
Cousin love
Caroline at June's party today.. One of the few seconds she wasn't crying.. This was Claire's party dress, loved it on her and love it on my baby too.
Chilling at the pool. Each night Caroline went for a dip at the pool. She is SO fair, that she only gets to be a pool baby once the sun goes down. She really did like the pool!
My sweet smiley niece Shelby with ear infection crying little girl Caroline at the party today.
Baby play time at the party! Camilla, Caroline and Shelbs were all born within 2 weeks of each other.
A very special happy birthday to June Louise. You had a super fun Nemo party today! Your crafty mama did it up right! Happy birthday sweetie.. your aunt sunny loves you
eating cupcakes. Not sure why this is turned, but I am to lazy to fix it.
Look at these creative cupcakes Natalie made... I am impressed!

Chris/Caroline

When Corbin was born I was really amazed at how much he looked like Chris. He has a few features that I say look like me, but he looks a lot like his daddy. Then mini-me was born, Claire, and from the second I saw her I was shocked at how much she looked like me. People comment ALL the time on how she looks and acts like her mama. Then Sweet Caroline was born. When I first saw her I could not believe how identical she looked to her daddy. SHE looks JUST Like CHRIS! Sometimes I look down at her and just have to laugh because it is as if I am looking at him. She even has his facial expressions down! Not sure if you can see it as much as I can, but here is Caroline then Chris then Caroline again!


I think it is pretty adorable! One thing is for sure... she loves her daddy.

6 months old...

Baby Caroline you are growing up way to fast! I mean girlfriend, you are already eating push up pops!!! Caroline LOVES popsicles, but push up pops are her favorite. I think because the cardboard helps her little hands not get so cold. Please don't judge me for giving my kid a popsicle. I have done this with all three, and look how great they turned out. I am all about making baby happy! This seems to do the trick! I am all about making all three happy to be honest!
So good! Bad news is now when the ice-cream man comes by I am going to have to buy three. These kids are getting more expensive by the second.

I wish I could remember al lthe funny things Claire says to us throughout the week. She is so funny. SO funny in a very bossy kind of way. She tells it like it is, thats for sure.
We framed pics in our kitchen of all three kids in the highchair when they were babies. It turned out cute, and it makes me smile every time I look at them.
We hit up the splash park Friday, and Caroline was all ready to roll...
Caroline and Grace.
A friend is letting us borrow these leg warmer knee protector things for Caroline while she is in the crawling phase. Corbs decided he needed to match her.. Claireb had some on too, but she couldn't be in the picture because she was naked except for the leg warmers...
My goal is to take my camera on some adventures next week. I am just glad to get out of the house with the necessities. I haven't mastered the camera as well. Today we went to a fun b=day party, and I left the darn camera at home. GRRR. I will work harder at it next week.

Happy 4th of July

Here are the kiddos a year ago today....
And here are all three today! Amazing how much can change in a year!
Hope you all have a great 4th of July!

6 years ago today...

6 years ago today I went with my mom to get my nails done for our wedding. Today I took our first baby girl to get her first mani and pedi, and to get my nails done for our special anniversary date tomorrow night. Amazing how in 6 years so many things have changed. All I can say is that I love you at least 300 times more than this day 6 years ago. With each beautiful baby we have brought into this world my love for you have grown at least 100%. Thank you for always being there for me and the kids. We love you more and more each day. It takes a pretty special man to be a great husband and dad. You are special. I love you. Happy Anniversary.
Corbin went out in the rain today and caught himself a worm! He used my spatula this you can see in the background. so really when it was all said and done he caught like half a worm.. poor worm.

My sweet baby girl is officially a crawler. I just cannot believe how fast she is growing, and how many things she is doing. These were her favorite toys today, Corby's Toy Story 3 Aliens... She loves to be on the floor playing as long as someone is with her. She clears the room in a few minutes by rolling or scooting.
I love these sweet faces. I LOVE THEM. Claire was just precious at the nail place today. She was so happy, and she loved picking her color. Pink on her toes with flowers & blue fingers. She is pretty proud of her nails. She will definitely be going back with me every time I go. It will be our special thing. In a few years it will be me and both my girls.. A trip to the nail place just got way more expensive.. worth every penny though.
When We got hoem Corbin wanted to know where I was going to take him. He wanted a special time too. I said wherever you want to go I will take you. We will be going to CiCis pizza tomorrow. He doesn't like it for the food, but for the games. We spend more on the quarter machine stuff than we do to feed our whole family. We have a million things from their quarter machines, and looks like we will be adding to our collection tomorrow.

HIJACK!!!


One of the coolest days and memorable experiences of my life. We have been through a lot in 6 years...12 years total...and all I can say is I am a lucky man. You are a great mother, wife, and best friend. I love you.
