Trip to Denver

My Valentine's Day was spent with Corbin! We left for Denver(his first trip) On Wednesday morning. The girls were all crying as Corbin and I got out of the car at the airport. I fet bad! But I knew they were in good hands with Ninny!
Corbin stayed in the "front pack" all day at the airport, except on the plane. He was so funny and LOVED being held and getting ALL of my attention. I loved it as well. I never get to be with any of my kids for that long, alone! It was a great Valentine's gift! Our big adventure was so we could meet Camdyn! That is our newest cousin! He is the baby of the family now! (ok, by 3 months). This is the first time my sister has had a baby after me! It was so fun to see him and hold him. I already forgot what it was like to have a little infant in the house! His brothers, Evan and Grant are getting so big. They amaze me and are very loving brothers. And his sister, Ally, or Baby Ally as Chloe calls her is so cute. A Princess among Princes! She was funny around Corbin.
Emily(my sister) and I had a chance to visit in between all of the everyday needs of the kids! But it was still a terrific visit! We are all, yes, all 6 of us going in a few weeks! Yikes!
That might drive anyone to drinkin!

4 little Hearts for Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day! It has an entirely different meaning now that we have 4 little kids in our house!

I stayed up Tuesday evening to make Heart Shaped Cookies for Cubbies at church on Wednesday night. I also made Heart Shaped pancakes to give the girls in the morning on Wednesday! I was tired but loved doing it. I decorated a little bit before bed and wrapped a gift for everyone, including Fred. Each of the girls got a pair of Pink Sunglasses! And Corbin a new toy for his carrier(Which L&A already have taken as their own). I also wrapped HiHo Cherry O for Chloe to open! Fred got boxers and these great pictures of the kids. Our real gift to each other is a trip to the beach I need to book ASAP!

The kids all wore their "My Heart Belongs to Daddy" shirts, and Corbin "Heart Breaker".

4 months/ 19 months/ 4 years

Ahhh! I cannot believe Corbin is 4 months old! It has flown flown flown by! He is a DOLL!!! I seriously could not have asked for a more precious little baby.
Buhbuh, as he is effectionately called by his sisters, is a happy and healthy little guy. He weighed in at 18lbs 4 ounces! I was floored. The twins are only 27 lbs, and Chloe 31! So, I think by the time he is 1 he will pass them all up! He will need to just to protect himself. Every once in a while I will bust some short girl in my house trying to climb in his swing or carrier with him. He laughs at them non stop. He has no idea they could hurt him:)
Feeding him is a challenge....either L&A are trying to help me, or he is just cracking up at me. I have to turn my head the other way so he will stop smiling and eat! He wakes up around 6:30 every morning and tells us some long serious story that we have no idea what it is all about. By 6:45 he is usually back asleep until I muster the energy to get him up and fed at 7:15. Life in our house is all about the 5 minute increments. I think after the kids are older, I could write a book, "My life, My day in 5 minutes!" Then around 7:30 Chloe appears on the stairs. Once I finish with Corbin around 7:40, I head upstairs to get, "The sisters", as we refer to them, up. Down for breakfast. Corbin gets ready while the girls eat. Off to school and all over again!
But I love it! I love my craziness! One thing I crack up at is this ?...."Do you have a nanny?" No, I have a Ninny(Chloe calls my mom).... But what I really want to say is....I don't want to miss out on every crazy minute! Don't get me wrong. I am tired and worn out...some days down right crazy(fred will tell ya)..but aren't we all!
Put it this way....This is from a Bible study I am doing...'There are many nights I am a women who will drop into bed at night and know she has not had one solitary minute to think about herself'(Jill Briscoe)... that isn't a bad thing...because if we only think about me me me..."And..you know what? I am bored to death of me."(Erma Bombeck).
Anyway, love to you all!
