Flu Season

Life has been a little rough lately,  For the past 2 months my kids have been sick off and on, but more on than off, gotta love winter, but here are a few pic I captured the past couple months

I just had to put this up, totally cracked me up.  I feel like this sums up my life at the moment with all the sickness between them and what I deal with.  Too funny!

Robbie is growing up so much, He had to bet blood work done, the doctors were concerned about him being so low in weight (he is still below the charts).  I was really sad that he had to get his blood drawn, I didn't want him to have to get a needle in him, but he was such a champ and barely cried (he had to get it done twice) and the results came back normal! Yipee, he is just small and petite, I'm sure he will grow later?! lol jk

This girl is always entertaining, if its from saying something hilarious, acting crazy, dancing around, or being a sassy pants, there are never dull moments being her mom.  

Uncle Shane came to visit for a very short period of time, but they all had a blast playing together, just makes me wish we had family that lived close by

The weather has been amazing!! Really we have had the perfect combo of cold lazy days with rain, to warm beautiful sunny weather.  It is officially "bike" season here in AZ and I love it, we have spend lots of time biking around, love that they fell asleep, I didn't want to wake them when we got home, so I sat on the porch while they slept in the trailer for an hour

They sure love playing with Dad.  Work has been very busy for Rob lately, he's been working late hours, so any chance they get to spend with him they make it worth it.

This just breaks my heart, but is also such a sweet moment caught.  Makayla was so sick (as you can see) and right when Rob came home from work she just collapsed on him, and Robbie wanted some daddy love too.  This flu season has been hard

This little crazy kid is really something lol  I will go into that at his 1 year post, but even though he is super active, he loves to snuggle.  This one night he literally snuggled me for hours on end, just like the picture.  It was so sweet and tender, and moments like those just make all the stress of parenting worth every second.  

Now that we are all better, lets hope we don't get sick for a very very long time!!

My little Princess

Okay If I'm going to be honest here, and starting from the very beginning, before I had kids I never imagined that I would have a baby girl as my first born.  Before I ever got pregnant there was not even a thought in my mind that I would have a girl first and If I could have planned it I would have chosen to have 3 boys then 2 girls (like in my family).  Not to mention I didn't know what to do with a girl. I know I am a girl and most women dream of having a little girl, but I was used to be surrounded with boys and always got along better with them, I always knew having a girl would add extra drama in my life. 

 

Fast forwarding to now... How incredibly happy I am that I have a little girl in my life and that she is my firstborn.  I have always been a girly girl and so it does seem weird that I didnt want a girl for a long time, but where would my life be without my spunky girl. My whole thoughts about that has completely changed!  I don't want to go into details about how much she has blessed my life, I will save that for her birthday post coming up, but really having a girl is amazing!! I got to take her to Disney Princess On Ice and it was the best time.  Dressing her up like a princess was so much fun and watching her face light up when the dancers came out, there was nothing like it.  Not only is she the most beautiful girly girl but she is a little tom boy too, there is nothing this girl cant to, honestly she is so talented it blows my mind how easily she picks up things. Plus having a girl first helps all around I get to be a little girl again with her, she is amazing with her brother and will the such a great babysitter when the time comes, and dressing her up like a little mini me is always fun! Seriously what would I do without her!

 

okay okay enough with the talking on with the pictures

 

This is her and her best friend Brynlee
