Josie learned a new trick today!

Josie is always on the go and always learning something new.  She has just recently learned how to get down from furniture and today the baby gate accidently got left open.  I noticed she had gotten very quiet and when I went to see what she was up to she was a couple of steps down.  Of course I grabbed her up and got the camera so she could do it again for the video.  She is such a smarty!!

The Big Suprise!

My Husband and friends got me good!  Last night we had a fun night planned with another couple that are some of our good friends.  The four of us planned to go out to eat and spent the night in town.  When we got to my favorite restaurant I got a real shocker.  There were 18 more of our close friends all singing Happy Birthday.  There were balloons and the biggest bouquet of roses.  It was such a sweet surprise.  We had a fantastic time.  Several of us stayed the night in town and 5 of us ladies went to the spa this morning.  What an awesome Birthday!!!

Eric Graduating from Preschool. 

Eric's Graduating Class

Eric with his diploma.  He is very anti picture lately so he did not want to pose like he was supposed to.  He would hardly sing during the program because I had the video camera on.  Normally I have tons of funny pictures of him as he is really quite the ham but not during this phase. 

Josie loving her bath!!!

Mommy got a pedicure and Josie says pretty everytime she sees my toes so of course I painted Josie's toes.  She LOVES them!

Wesley ready for the day.  Notice the backwards jeans again!

Our Love Discussion

Often when I put the kids to bed we think of things to numerous or far away, to imagine, to say "I love you more than". Yesterday on our way home from grocery shopping Wesley pipes up out of the blue and tells his siblings "you know Mom loves me all the way to the moon". Eric, not to be out loved chimes in "yea and she loves me to the stars". I add in "and I love Tyler to the Sun and Josie to Pluto". Well that started a 20 minute discussion that contained things such as "Mom, Pluto is a dwarf planet and Josie is not a dwarf so why do you love her like that". And "Mom the Sun is not really that far away so how about if you love Tyler to somewhere farther". Obviousally my mistake was to individualize. I guess when it comes to Mama's love it is best to use all the same words. Eric finally put and end to it by saying "Mom how about if you just love us all to heavens roof and back". Good answer Eric. That is so vast and infinite and that is how much I love each of our 4 fantastic children.
