Best Friends

Even though they fight like crazy some times, I am so very glad that they really are the best of friends <3 p="p">

Fashionista

Hehehehehe :)  This makes me laugh :)  Hannah put these on her and I had to get a picture :)

Good times in PA

Two weekends ago we made the trip to PA to visit with my sister and two adorable nieces.  They are seriously the cutest sweetest little stinkers in the world!  We had an amazing time going for walks, going to the playground and just watching the kids play and interact together :)  I think my favorite part of the trip though was staying up late and chatting with my sister after the kids were asleep.  There are few things as refreshing for this momma as sister time and the blessing of a friend who is in the same phase of life.  Someone who truly understands :)

And now, a ton of pictures of our long weekend!

Bella!!  Can't believe this little stinker is walking!!

Pillow fight...Gabe was a little out numbered, lol...

LOVE this little guy and his adorable, cheesy grin :)

My sweet and happy Leah love :)

Man of the house :)

Cousins!  Gabe's face makes me laugh in this one, but getting a picture with all 5 of them was no easy feat :)

How ridiculously cool is this castle playground we went to?!?!  Seriously, Nick was jealous when I showed him the pictures :)

Cutie!

My beautiful Hannah-banana :)  How she has gotten so tall and grown up looking is completely beyond me :)  She was such a big help with the little ones while we were at my sisters!!

Wheeeeee...

Gabe jumping :)  He had to wear his Link shirt, since we were going to a castle playground :)

Sweet and precious Sera :)

Tire swing!  They had so much fun on this :)

Sleepy Leah :)  I had my sister take a picture of her in the carrier because I often find that she is not in as many pictures as Hannah and Gabe because she is always riding with me.

Could they be any cuter?!

Swings!!

Go Hannah go!  She LOVES to swing :)

My monkey man :)

Ridiculously cute :)

Love my little Bella bean :)

Six Months Old :)

Six months old today!!  It is crazy how fast the time goes :)  You are growing and changing so much with every passing day.  You are now sitting up on your and even start to eat a little bit.  So far you have had bites of avocado, chewed on some carrots and nectarines, dry toast and even a few tiny bites of Mommy's ice cream :)  You LOVE food!  I am so glad that you like to eat and it is easy so far.  You are laughing and smiling and interacting all the time now.  You love watching your big brother and sister, and if they aren't paying attention to you, you let them know :)  You are nursing about every 4 hours and sleeping through the night most of the time.  We love you so much our sweet little Leah and are so very thankful that God made you a part of our family!!

So I did a bit of sewing...

We are going to see my sister this week and I thought it would be really fun to make matching outfits for all the cousins :)  She has no idea I made these so I can't wait until she see's this blog!!  I love surprises!! :)

Worker Dude

This little guys LOVES to help his daddy and use his "tools" around the house.  He loves playing that he is fixing things for me :)  What a cutie!  He looks so stinking cute in his safety goggles too!  Love you buddy :)

Blanket Fort :)

What is a mom to do when it is too hot to take the kids outside and she is running out of ways to keep the kids entertained?  Why build a blanket fort of course :)  They kids had so much fun helping me build it and then playing in it.  It kept them busy for quite some time!  I love watching their creative minds at work and seeing what they come up with.  They played store, house and school.  Love these sweet kids!
