HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEBE SUMMER!!

Can you believe it? I can't!! First, I'm actually on here blogging again after being MIA for what 4 months or so!! Wow!!! I also can't believe that I had a Bebe Girl today...what a shocker that was. We really did think this 3rd Bebe was gonna be another boy and were all set on it. I even hung a hockey jersey above the Bebe's crib (and its still there too).

Aunt Kitty-Kat...we love this hat!! I'm so glad I bought it and got to use it today! I'm keeping it forever and ever! I really enjoy your stuff on Esty and I'm happy for you.

Aunt Lisa - You really need to get on Facebook and if you are, we need to friend one another.

Aunt Robin - I told you you were gonna have a boy. Perhaps that jersey needs to go your way for above the crib. That are a Wildcats jersey!!!

Aunt April - I wish you lived near me so you could take photos of our family. Can you believe that I have not once taken the kids to get a pro shot together...NOT ONCE!!!!!! Shame on me!!!

Enjoy the photos and there are way more on Facebook! Miss you gals and I love you all too!!!!!!!!!!!! See the cooler in the background, blocking the doors. That is my child-proof lock...LOL!!!!! Works for now :)
Kissing Bebe Summer!

Giggling Girls!

Mother & Daughter

(Wow, thats weird to type)

Summer-Lovin got this puzzle, a book, a cash register and little Yo Gabba Gabba play figures. That is her favorite show and she really loved the figures!

To me raising boys is such an important job. Raising a daughter is beautiful. I'm so thankful that I now can experience both. I just love having boys and a girl in the house!!!

Busy, Busy!

Boy have I been neglectful. So sorry! When the warm weather hits, I am out the door and very little time on the computer accept to do the Facebook status real quick and acknowledge everyone else's status.

I mentioned boy in the 1st sentence and Joey is thinking that Robin is gonna have a boy. I told her on Facebook that it is time for her to jump on the boy-wagon!

Alex did great on his report card. All A's and I believe two or three of the classes are honor classes or something like that. Erich has improved in his classes. His speech still needs a lot of work and I think I'm gonna have to send him to a specialist over the summer. Summer is a button! She still low crawls but is also working on the regular crawling - she looks like a robot when she does it. She still has no teeth. She is finally starting to pull herself up on stuff.

Below is a photo of Erich and his buddy Ty on the backyard water slide. May I suggest that if you don't have one, get one. Yes, they are a lot of money to fork over at 1st, but the years of fun all summer long will totally pay off in the end. You don't want or even need to get a fancy one. I'm telling you, this one is perfect!
I went on a field trip with Alex to Washington, DC. I was glad he wanted me to go. My group was pretty bad, but in a very funny way. I've known most of these kids since we moved and Alex started playing football when they were 7 years old!It started right away with their antics. I'm going up an escalator and all of the sudden I hear, "Hi Mrs. Newman, Hi Mom" and look over and my group was going down to the next floor while I was heading up. They kept putting 3D glasses on the displays, they where hiding in displays and when I would walk by they would go, Boo! It was pretty funny. The Smithsonian American History Museum was recently renovated inside and its nice to finally have the change. Alex told me when we were driving home that when they do the group assignments, the teachers just put a list with the parents name on it and the kids sign up for the group/parent they want to be with. Alex said my name filled up before the end of 1st period. I was so flattered!!

So below is a picture of my group from the field trip! Those bozos were all of over the place and were a lot of fun!! But in the end, some kids that were not assigned to my group ended up with me. Oh and I also met Alex Geometry teacher and he is a cutie-pie!!

Below is Summer playing with a bucket from Easter. She likes to hid under things.

That's really about it on my end! Now, I've gotta check up on my girls blogs to what I have been missing!!!

You All Know What I've been Up To!

Since we are all on Facebook together you kinda know whats been going on. Our Easter Break is really short here. Holy Thursday thru Easter Monday. Thursday we went to the zoo with our neighbor and friend plus my best friends son Jason. It was a great day! The weather was picture perfect but traffic of course was terrible. It was smooth sailing around the DC Beltway but once I exited on Connecticut Ave the traffic moved really slow. It took forever to find a parking spot because by 11am all the lots were full. One guy at one of the lots said we could go in but said no one is going anywhere - so good luck. Oh the lots are outdoors. So I pulled in and said, I can squeeze in between that car and tree up on the curb. And Alex said she sure can and I did. Is that my gift - knowing how to park on curbs?

This photo below is of Alex and the orangutans climbing the wires above.

This one below is of Erich, Jason and Ty with one of the lazy Panda Bears!
This one below is of Summer sitting in one of my built in car seats watching the gang on the ground outside the car having a picnic lunch. Don't worry, she doesn't sit in that one while driving.

Easter Morning! The bear in the basket is Terry. Erich got to bring him home from school for Easter. Every child gets him for one weekend. Terry was being silly and he went to the zoo with us!

That's All Folks!

Low Crawl

So Summer is crawling, only low crawling. Its pretty funny. I also realized when Summer and I went up the street for a playdate that Summer really has no toys. She has these little rattles, but mostly its action figures, like Scooby-Doo and Star Wars and Batman, etc. Hope the Easter Bunny takes care of her for Easter.
