Happy 4th Month, Baby Sister!

Karissa Hope is now four months old.  Wow! Time is flying by. 
She is weighing in at 16 pounds which is only in the 90th percentile.
But she took the cake with her height.  She's a little over 26 inches long.  That puts her off the charts. She's wearing 6-9 month clothing for the past month.  She is a big girl!

She is so so sweet.  And we all love her so much.  The boys take such good care of her, and they run to her aid every time she cries.  Yes she might end up a little spoiled.  :-)  She stays busy laughing at her brothers who keep her busy with their tickles and silly antics.

 She loves to snuggle.  She loves to go outside and see the world.  She loves her toys.

We are all so glad this little angel is in our lives!

Happy Birthday, Michael!

 This past week was Michael's birthday.  His first present was the removal of his cast!! 

 When it was removed, we were able to see where his ankle was cut. 

He is happy with the freedom!!!

 He also got to order a new Iphone for work.  FUN!!!  

So now he doesn't have to fight with his kids for his phone!

 The kids made him a chocolate cake and put Harry Potter Legos on it.  

Friends came over for lunch and cake and ice cream.

 We went garage saling on Saturday for birthday fun and found some great deals!!!  

Even Karissa found some cute pink toys!

Michael is an incredible family man.  He loves us all with a deep, patient, Godly love.  He has taught me so much in our lives together.  I see so many of his amazing qualities in my boys.   I am so blessed to have him as my leader, husband, and best friend.

Joel's Best Day of His Life

 Whenever the first leaf fell, the boys started asking when we could play in the leaves.  They had to wait a few weeks.  And it finally came!  We played in leaves!  And Joel kept declaring that this was the best day of his life.  I think he had some fun!  And so did I!

My little turkey...today he decided to turn off the computer by stabbing the computer monitor with a screwdriver 40 times cracking the screen in the process.  That is just one of his many destruction projects today.  He keeps me busy.

Happy Friday

 There is nothing like seeing a sweet baby's smile and hear her laughter.  I am one blessed woman to get to experience that four times.

Here are my Wild Kratts practicing their pose!

What if......?
