Look at Gracie rock!

Well, I guess this can be a great way to get some of our short clips of things Gracie does to you...This is something Gracie just started to do! She sits up, still supported by pillows so she doesn't go to one side, and rocks back and forth! She looks so cute in her "boy" pjs...they were a gift! She is also trying out a sippy cup!

A friend invited us to go swimming this week too so we took some outdoor shots of the kids together. And Gracie got her first pair of sunglasses.

Well, til next time...

Summer is Here!!

It is officially summer but it's been so hot out here who knew it wasn't summer yet! We have been in the record hitting heat for a couple of weeks. We are in for a small break, yeah right, we are going from 115 to maybe 109 or so BIG BREAK huh! Well, we'll make the most of it. We are counting the days until our big camping trip with George's brothers family in about 2 weeks! yikes that crept up all of a sudden. The kids are excited and quite frankly can't wait to get out of this house for some traveling and fun!


Miss Grace is growing like a beautiful flower and is getting stronger everyday. She can almost stay sitting up on her own for a while. She laughs and chuckles so happily. if only she could stay this small forever. She maybe cutting teeth soon too! She gets fussy and kinda grinds her gums. She also started drinking water out of a sippy cup! They make them with a silicone top just like bottles! Yeah, maybe we wont get into the bottle wars after all. It was not too hard to wean my babies off of bottles but why bother if you don't have to.


Father's Day was good! The kids woke George up gave him their homemade cards. Then he opened his gifts. He really like his T-shirt with the iron-on of all the kids when they were babies like Grace!

We took some small video clips with our digital camera of Grace babbling and laughing. I will try to get them uploaded!

Our very first blog ever!!!!

Hello Everyone! I thought I might give it a shot and share our family news with our family and friends. It may take a while to get used to it so bear with us!

Our numbers have grown! We are now SIX!!!!! Our beautiful little girl, Grace Elena, arrived on January 28th! She is so gorgeous and such a sweet baby! Her chubby cheeks are so tempting - you just want to kiss them all the time!!!!! Her brothers and sister are so happy and they practically fall over themselves just to do stuff for her.

I can't wait until she is a little older to hear her chuckle and see her smile more. But I am also wanting to keep her this tiny longer...she is already growing too fast!

Rebecca, George, and Luke are being home schooled. We've been homeschooling for six months! I can't beleive we've made it this far! It's been difficult at times, what with my pregnancy, kidney stone and then the delivery we have been side tracked far too many times! With God's help we will make it through this school year!
