My Gold Medal Swimmers…

 

T-3 days till my big girls 5th Birthday!!!

I’m soo excited!

Anyway, here are a few videos from last night in the pool…they are loving these new puddle jumpers..and they work wonders for non swimmers.  Who ever made these finally got it right with keeping a childs head above water!

Enjoy..and excuse the voice in the background.  Cheerleader /momma’s voice, was getting annoying to ME!  LOL!  I think you can turn the volume down so all you see is the brave little girls jumping off the top of the HOT TUB..yeah, they are brave little girls.  I think they get that from me!  I’m not scared of much..other than frogs and snakes!  :>) 

ENJOY!

My Hannah is growing up..

My absence of blogging has a lot to do with my computer that is on it's way home from the Doctor! I swear the thing just doesn't work like my old whoopty did. My old one had a major problem with not shutting off at night and turning on and off without me hitting a button..but the KEYS worked. With this new one..the keys just never seem to work the way i want them to work. They do crazy things..it's FUNNY..sometimes!

Anyway, on top of that i've been busy entertaining my three little cutie pies this summer! We've been pretty busy. I think i've been busier than them though! Between play dates, cleaning, cooking, settling into the house, unpacking, painting, revamping the front and back yards..seems like i've lost track of everything else.



BUT, the reason i'm posting today is that my BIG GIRL..is turning FIVE SOON! I can't believe it! FIVE YEARS ago she was almost here...as a matter of fact i THINK today was my actual due date. Yes, 4 days late..she was! In the past five years we've come so far..she's grown into such a little girly girl! She's smart, beautiful, sweet, LOVES HER SISTERS MORE THAN ANYTHING and i couldn't be happier. I need to go back in the next few days and post some pics of my baby..when she WAS a baby..she was tiny, precious, had BLACK CURLY hair..and tons of it. She was beautiful...and the light of our life. I couldn't imgaine my life..without her. If i had to describe her in one word, it'd be ME! She's just like me..just 28 years younger. :>)



Anyway, today starts the count down..of 5 days till her 5th birthday! We have a big exciting bash planned at a local gymnastics place..so i'm sure i'll have tons of pics to add after Saturday. This party has been really hard and stressful to plan this year. I wanted her to have a big bash..lots of friends & family..but it's a bit smaller since we're really in between friends for her. She hasn't really met any of her new friends she'll go to school with out here..and since we're moving on..it's hard to invite her old friends..since we won't see them much anymore AND since we haven't seen them all summer either. SAD i know.



Anyway, with all that being said..let's see if i can find a few good pics of my sweet angel!

This is MY favorite pic of all time..what is more precious than a daddy with her brand new baby!


And then the not so pretty shots..right before i left for the hospital! I tell ya, i was BIG!
In the hospital waiting..not so patiently as i hallucinated about leaving our bags in Vegas...Pauls got some funny stories to tell his kids and grandkids!

Ahh..sleep. I forgot what that was a few times..but she was a very very good baby..she did like to sleep..unlike my younger two!

Feeding the Horses down the street..

You wouldn’t believe it, but we are about 1/2 mile away from these beautiful horses.  SOO, we went to feed them some apples today! We didn’t  have any carrots to feed them..but since the girls are on a apple kick right now..we have plenty of apples to feed them! :>)

OK, goofy mommy face..concentrating while feeding the horses!  LOL!

The girls weren’t as into it as me…they were nervous about the horses biting them!  FUNNY, i KNOW!

Noah’s Ark – First United Methodist Church-MOMS children Social

We had TOO much fun at my MOMS children Social, Saturday Afternoon! I was a bit worried b/c  it was not until 4:15, which is kinda late and close to dinner time for the girls.  They had a blast and were all worn out but Happy and cordial for dinner!

The pic my Sam will beg me to NEVER show her Boy Friends! LOL!!

OK, SO PICS..not pic!  Would it be any less appropriate if she wasn’t reading a TWINS MAGAZINE!  I’m contemplating sending this one to twins!  JUST KIDDIN!

She really was checking out the magazine and pointing at all the other kids that looked alike!  CUTE! 

P.S. Sam has gone #2 on the potty for probably a WEEK straight..and we’ve upgraded her to the BIG GIRL potty..i’m sick of cleaning the little one..and she really likes the big one anyway!

My computer is on the fritz again..so much for a MSI notebook!

So with that..all you get is some cute pics of my girls!

We’ve done a LOT of swimming this summer..so most of my pics revolve around that. 

Hannah is an star swimmer after 4 short weeks of swimming classes..thanks to her teacher Ms. Annmarie!  I look forward to taking the girls next year..and really think having the pool will really help the girls with their swimming skills.
