Rolling Already?? Crazy?? I feel like it took ann so long to roll and interact and Alice is just growing up WAY WAY too fast!! Alice's colors are really showing through. She's a great nap taker and she's very vocal about everything she squals in delight for most of the day. She has the most darling squeaky voice i have ever heard. She loves to be on her belly and back and just hang out. Which is handy when you have 2 kids and your potty training or cooking... or trying to get anything done. She's a great eater and loves to smile and be played with. I am not sure where she got it from but she knows exactly what she wants- and when she wants it! I feels so blessed to have the most wonderful girls :)

Scott's Pinning

Scott had his big day!! He had his pinning ceremony (for finishing the school part of the program) he has 1 more year of clinicals where he works out in the feild. They have sent us to Ohio for that so we will be moving 2 weeks from today!!! Yikes!! Don't worry (what scott calls a rediculous amount of planning) I call being prepared i have packed 2 boxes almost every day since we found out because he is in finals the week before we go than we are moving the next day and only have a few days before he starts clinical.
Here he is... he's laughing because he pretended that the lady poked him. it was pretty funny! Oh scott, never a dull moment :)

During conference the girls were coloring... doesn't Alice look so big with the marker in her hand?
Oh what fun it is to find a box and play in it for hours... this wouldn't be a problem if she didn't empty out the contents first :)
Lookin' good!
They play so good together. i am so grateful up to date ann hasn't been jealous, mean or naughty towards Alice in fact she just plays and shows her all her cool toys!
Lots of hugs and kisses! Alice is talking a lot and Ann is starting to interprete. Like "I think Alice just said we need some ice cream" Never a dull moment in our house

Who's Who?

One of these cute little girls is Ann and the other is Ali, which on is which?

Our Quick Trip to MI

Alice's BLESSING DAY!!! It was great to have the family there. Scott's mom made the dress and it is beautiful! I am pretty sure i have the best mother in law :)
This is John and Kathy's sweet little girl...Elle I pretty much love her tongue, she sticks it out to feel her new teeth that are coming in and it is pretty impressive! She so cute and ready to walk!

All the grandkids!!! About 16 pictures later this one is by far the best candidate
Somehow we got them in the picture together... it was rough there for a few mins but we made it! I love Dylan's arm on his grandpa... so sweetHere is John and Kathy with Elle and that little tongue again...lol
Ann and Dylan were playing so well together, Ann was "helping" Dylan and showing him how to jump off the little step... oh the things she'll teach Alice :)
Look at our cute little family. I wish more now than ever that we lived closer so i could see them more
Here is another effort to get a group shot... in case you were wondering Elle was napping :)
Grandpa and Ann have a very special bond :)
Even though Scott and i have brown eyes Ann has blue and maybe Alice will have blue too... wonder where they get them from? Aren't my mom's eyes gorgeous? I LOVE them! Scott's Dad also has blue eyes :) I am so sad i forgot to get a picture of Scott's mom and the girls... this post is a little 1 sided with the family ... next time I will even it out! I still feel like i am missing 1/2 my brain... i hope it comes back soon
Favorite picture of the day!
Chrissy came all the way down for the blessing even though she had to work... thanks Chris
We went to Michigan to bless Alice so more of the family could be there. Here is Chrissy and Alice. Scott mom made the dress... isn't it darling? oh I just LOVE IT!!
Ann was so excited for her little sis to have this chair
Scott made Alice a Lego chair
oh how boring our life and clean our living room would be with out Lego's

Alice is so chatty, and we love it! If you can turn your volume up she's only 9 weeks so her voice is still somewhat soft. hope you enjoy!

Making a family of four work...

Alice is so smiley... after several weeks of colic and her being unhappy we FINALLY (we think) figured out the problem, and this is our happy girl! Ann decorated her with the peace sign sticker and gave her Lego's that are on each side of her :)

Scott put Alice in Ann's stroller she actually fits! And no we didn't let ann push her around... come on people!

oh the love of sisters- Ann can love her so much that she accidentally elbows her and we don't hear a peep but if i wipe spit up off her she has a fit :) Already i think she loves her big sis

I love that when Ann talks to Alice she says words like "sweety", and "darling"

Our life with 2 is crazy!! changes with two kids are:

my house is no longer immaculate

days fly by even faster than before

twice the smiles

i may never have time for a hobby again

schedules are out the window :)

sleep is more important than a clean house or ANY project

i tell myself 10 times a day to RELAX :)

the balancing act has begun

goal for the day: Get everyone dressed and ready for the day, make everyone happy :), cook dinner, survive :)

i wouldn't trade it for the world!

Family Pictures!

We had some friends grab a few pics of the family... thanks jon and Amica ... i LOVE them!

Oh how sweet they are! I can't imagine them arguing...

My most favorite second baby girl !!

doesn't she look like Ann? i "feel" like she has a little more of me in her when she opens her eyes

our very new family of four... i feel so blessed!

My most favorite first baby girl :) ... i love this look

Our Family of Four

Scott's birthday.... he's 29~~~

Our first day home from the hospital

Cuddles in the morning

sisters!!

Just the girls

We're really having a lot of fun getting to know Alice and adjusting to our growing family :)

Okay so ... how do people have 6 kids?? My whole day is devoted to making my girls happy. With Alice it is feeding and putting to bed(she has a lot of gas so sometimes it takes a LONG time :) ) with Ann it's just giving her the one on one time she needs. If everyone is dressed and ready for the day, happy, and i make dinner i feel like super mom...lol How on earth do people get other things done?

In the Hospital with Alice

My Mom and Dad came out and were amazing at EVERYTHING!! Look at Ann's cute little big sister crown she made... sooo cute. Ann has been amazing with Alice- she loves to hug and kiss her.

she said "She's so little"

Alice

She was 7 lbs 11 ounces and 21 inches long, Alice... no middle name yet Philburn

Alice in Clarksburgland

This is Alice as her head is coming out of the c-section incision...pretty cool


This is Alice being pulled out

Her telling the world she is here

A little calmer and warmer
