A long time

Wow, it has been a very long time and I promise to be better next time,
A LOT have happened since then .
- added a new family member to our household
- Alex is done with 1st grade
- Genne is done with kindergarten
-Alex turned 7 ( weird )
- Maddie turned 2
- life have been pretty crazy around here.
Will update for more detail a bit later and will not take that long any longer.

Matt and the kiddos

So for my birthday I took some pics of Matt and the kiddos and here are some of my favorites ♥


 Daddy and his girls.


My boys

 
I love my beautiful family and so glad I get to keep them forever♥

We are a family of 5

We are officially outnumbered and I can tell the difference. I find myself with enough energy to get one shore done a day between taking care of the three kiddos. Alex and Genne love the baby and because of that they refuse to let the baby sleep by wanting to give her a kiss and standing in front of her bed and touching her.

• We are outnumbered
• She doesn't sleep much during the day unless I am holding her because Genne loves giving her kisses while she is asleep 
• There are three of them and one of me
• I can't sleep while she sleep because Genne and Alex don't always take a nap

I am happy with the decision that we make to have another one no matter how hard it is right now and I am really grateful she choose to be in our family... She siblings sure LOVE having her around and I would not have it any other way!

My GIRLS ♥

Life with Three

First off, a big thank you to aunt Lolo for spend two weeks with us and help us out. The kids loved having their aunt here and were really sad when she left, Genne even wanted to go to, they all had a great time and got really spoiled.

 We are all surviving the day and Maddie is going much, much better since I put on formula and it not looking so skinny anymore ( she had lost 10 oz). She is sleeping longer period of time and starting to chunk up a bit. Genne is loving her sister, she will not stop giving her kissing while she is eating sleeping or crying. Alex is also loving having her and like to hold her. They are all going so much better with the baby than I thought. Still trying to adjust to three kiddos but they are great kids which makes it a lot easier.

The only real bad day we've had so far was on Tuesday when I braved it out to two doctors appointment with all three kids... First it was a early morning ( not a morning person and only had three hours of sleep that night) and we did not have anytime for breakfast so a certain three years old was really cranky and starving so she did not make it easy on me. 

Life is great and i am grateful for my little family and really blessed with the love we all share!

Welcoming Baby Sister

They were so happy to see baby sister and Genne especially is really loving her. I am so happy on how well they welcome her with so much loving and caring. Genne is all over her with kisses and patting her head and holding her.

Birth post coming up soon.

Blessing the food

Our sweet Alex said the prayer all by himself on Sunday... I am still shock by it. It did it just like we usually do and said everything he was thankful for. I had no idea he even knew how to do because every time we ask him to do he never does and even when we ask him to just repeat after us, he still never does it.
We are so proud of all the progress he is making and really enjoy listening to him and see what new sentences he knows how to see. He is reading really well and I am hoping to get him to read at a 1st grade level before he start Kindergarten in the fall and also working in his writing. He is such a smart little guy and learn really fast so we will see.
He is also a lot more sociable now and really loves having a bunch of kids around even if he is not playing or interact with them. He also prefer older kids over kids his own age so now he goes to Matt primary class instead of mine and does much better with the kids in there.

We love that boy and really grateful he choose to be in our family ♥

Visit to the Park

Since potty training did not go so well, I decided to try again in the summer and took the kids to the park today. We had an awesome time climbing, jumping, swinging and running around. By the time we were done, I was sooo tired from running around with them but they had a great time!  After the park we went to Mc Donald for lunch and poor Alex was very upset because he saw a Red Box with Wrack-it Ralph and wanted to watch and no matter how I explained to him that was not possible, the poor kid just did not get it and people were watching... I was just thinking, the poor kids is autistic and barely understand anything I am trying to tell him so stop the staring and move on with your day!

Brotherly Love

Trusted

Have you ever wonder if kissing a boo-boo for a child really does anything? Well, I have and I come to the conclusion that it is a matter of trust that small child put in you. I know that Genne trust me a whole lot to know that if she is hurt, I can kiss it better and it will be all better. I love the trust that Genne has in me to always be able to make her feel better even kissing the tip of her tongue because she bit it while eating. I also love when she walked away after I kiss it and gave me a hug and says:" Thanks mama for kissing it better, it is all better now". I sure hope that she will always get that trust and even when she know longer believe in "kissing her boo-boos better" but that she can always count on me to make her feel better and be there for her no matter how big or small her "boo-boos" might be. Also, she trust me enough to be able to run in our room in the middle of the night and let me know that she is scared and needs a hug and we can cuddle up until she calms down and go back to sleep.

Sister Love

Heard Alex cry and when I rush upstairs to see what's wrong, I found Genne hugging him and telling him " It's ok"... She is so sweet with brother, even if she may have been the reason of him crying.

I Feel Lucky

 No matter how crazy they Genne drive me or how hard my days get, they can always manage to put a smile on my face.

It is Not the Easiest Thing but I Sure Enjoy it.

I sure love being those kiddos's mom and I am really grateful that they pick me to help them prepare to go live with our Heavenly Father again ( Just hope they knew what they were getting themselves unto). Staying home with them are not always easy... Some days, I am too tired, grumpy, a too little sleep and REALLY TIRED too deal with them, however at the end of the day I am glad I got to spend it with them.  Having them in my life have really thought me a awful lot about sacrifices, selfless love and pure happiness. Even when I am having the worst day ( which doesn't happen often because I am married to the most amazing guy ever), they can still put a smile in my face and remind of how good my life is and how everything else doesn't really matter much.

 How sweet are they?!

 Who wouldn't LOVE to spend ALL DAY with those two if you could♥
