Happy First Birthday

noreply@blogger.com (Neen) — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 00:13:00 +0000

Happy Birthday to my beautiful boy! It is hard to believe that my son is one. It seems like yesterday that I was gazing and holding him lovingly in my arms for the first time. The year has passed so very fast and my how he has grown. It always amazes me how much they learn and change in this first year. I look forward to all the new adventures that this new year will bring. The fun is only beginning.

I used my first session of am amazing 5 session package I won from a local photographer for Charlie's first birthday. Yes I know his birthday isn't until next month but this way I will have the pics in time for his party. Don't I have one of the cutest little boys ever? I love how these photos turned out.

What a day!

noreply@blogger.com (Neen) — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 17:52:00 +0000

Wow so far this has been a GREAT morning, I find out that Lillian has won a design a piggy bank contest and her drawing will be painted on the piggy bank and shipped to her. She is so excited! Then I get a phone call saying that I won a year's worth of portraits from The Bossy Photographer

Your package includes 5 sessions to be completed by September 1,
2012. You'll receive an hour session for up to 5 people each time with
up to 30 watermarked proofs to share online, a Disc of the
unwatermarked 4x6 images and a framed print or 16 side magazine style
album at the end of the year.

I am so excited!!I was in tears when I heard this news. I cannot believe that I will be having non-Sears or Walmart photos of my kids done! In my July 29th post I believe I posted the pics from a session that I won with her earlier in the year.

On the move!

Oh boy are we in for it now, after perfecting the Army crawl, Charlie has now graduated to the real thing. We spent all day on the floor exploring and racing about.

Mads photo shoot

noreply@blogger.com (Neen) — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 21:06:00 +0000

So excited Melissa from The BossY Photographer asked Madeline to be a model for one of her photo shoots. She is so excited!

Another first!

noreply@blogger.com (Neen) — Sun, 07 Aug 2011 14:59:00 +0000

Charlie woke up this morning and what did we see? His first tooth!

I have proof(s) that I have beautiful children.

noreply@blogger.com (Neen) — Sat, 30 Jul 2011 01:05:00 +0000

A couple of months back I won a free photo session with a local photographer. The Bossy Photographer. With summer here I decided to cash it in and have pictures done of my kids. We went to beautiful Nia-wanda Park the day after my birthday for the shoot where Melissa took these beautiful shots. I was floored when I got the proofs two days later. OMG! I FREAKING LOVE THEM!!! I actually teared up looking at the beautiful images of my children. I never thought that I could ever get a real sesion like this done. I was even more floored at the way Madeline came out in these photos. I know that she is beautiful but holy crap, seeing these images took my breath away. maybe I should let my husbamd get that gun that he wants. LOL
Anyway here they are I just had to share them.

8 is great!

Madeline dancing in Downtown Disney

noreply@blogger.com (Neen) — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 23:19:00 +0000

Madeline's dance troupe had been invited by Walt Disney World to dance at the Waterside Stage in their Downtown Disney venue on June, 27, 2011. I was so proud of my girl and think she did a fantastic job.

The videos sisn't post so here are some pics.

His first word!

Suck it daddy :D.

7 Months

noreply@blogger.com (Neen) — Sat, 11 Jun 2011 14:06:00 +0000

6 months!

noreply@blogger.com (Neen) — Thu, 12 May 2011 01:36:00 +0000

Hard to believe that Charlie is 6 months old already.
Please excuse all his scratches he has eczema :( and no matter how hard I try I just cannot keep his nails short enough. I cut and file them and they still are like little daggers. Thank goodness for photoshop.
The details: at six months the "tank" as the doctor called him is 20 pounds and 4 oz putting him in the 87% for weight and he was 28 inches long, 90%. We may have a future linebacker in our midst here.

I amazes me how much they grow this first year, and how much they learn. I almost want to cry when I see my little guy sitting up by himself, trying to crawl, or scooting around the house in his walker. It makes me smile how excited he gets when he is able to start the music and lights on one of his toys. How his entire face lights up in the morning when I go to his room to get him from the crib. I now get those big wet sloppy kisses, neck nuzzles and hugs. I'm working on getting him to say mama too. so far he's got the mmmmm part down. :)

I got a job, sort of

Happy Mother's Day

noreply@blogger.com (Neen) — Mon, 09 May 2011 01:05:00 +0000

I love my Mother's Day present! A beautiful necklace with the children's names stamped on the front, their birthdates on the back and a birthstone charm. Isn't it purdy?

In a way I think that it is kind of neat that all my children, my mom's children, and 3 out of 4 of my mother-in-laws children were all born in June, July, and November.

May Day, in more way than one.

noreply@blogger.com (Neen) — Mon, 02 May 2011 02:27:00 +0000

May Day on May 1st is an ancient spring festival, mayday is also an emergency procedure word used internationally as a distress signal.

Well I knew that my luck had to run out sooner or later, 9 years and 10 months was a long time to go I think with no visits to an emergency room. Yes I had to take Madeline to the ER tonight for a cut she obtained on her finger this evening. She was dancing down stairs when Ed though he heard some glass break. Madeline came upstairs and went straight into the bathroom, nothing too odd in that after all we weren't 100% sure anything broke at all at this point. She usually did go to the bathroom to shower after her dance marathons downstairs. Ed knocked on the door since he had to use the bathroom and Mads scooted out quickly saying nothing at all to him. He noticed some blood in the sink and asked Mads what happened. She said nothing. Not buying that he went into her room and seen her hiding her arm. He basically had to wrestle it out from under her. The gash looked deep and we thought it would be best to take her to go get it checked out in case she needed stitches. She heard that word and went into total freak out mode.

In the waiting room Mads is just a mess stating that she is going to die over and over again, causing the receptionist and myself to giggle a bit. We both reassured her that she will not die from a small cut on her finger, as did the triage nurse that took her vitals. It was then when I learned what happened. She took a glass of water down stairs with her and as she was putting it back on the shelf she missed and it fell to the floor and broke she cut herself when she tried to pick up the pieces of broken glass. Sometimes I don't know what gets into these kids or if they ever listen to me. She has been told hundreds of times that she is not to take any glass down there, that she is to use her water bottle or a plastic cup. And that she is NEVER to touch or go near broken glass, that if she breaks one she is to come and get mom or dad.

After waiting for about an hour in an empty waiting room, we were finally taken back to a treatment room, only 3 others were in use at the time so I was not to happy that we were out there so long, but that is Sloopy Joe's err St. Joe's for you. I have always said that if I got hit by a semi right infront of that hospital I wouldn't go there, but it is the closest to us and I didn't want to drive into the city and with our insurance we needed to go to an ER and not a urgent care center. They cleaned the cut out and took her for some x-rays to make sure all the glass was out. While walking down to radiology the nurse started to explain what would be happening. Madeline interrupted her and told her that she knew what x-rays were she's seen House and Gray's Anatomy. The X-rays came back clean and much to Mads delight permabound was used so no stitches, and she was back to her normal self before we left the hospital.

I think I aquired a few gray hairs tonight.

The cut all cleaned up, sorry for the crappy cell phone pics.

and after she is all glued up, they put a splint on it too.

Happy 5 months Charles!

noreply@blogger.com (Neen) — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 13:18:00 +0000

Holy crap is this year flying by, my baby boy is already 5 months old. And what a little chatter box he is. Once he gets going this little guy has a lot to say, I think he gets that from his sisters. I love that he is fitting nicely into the antique high chair that we got for him.

4 months

noreply@blogger.com (Neen) — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 18:57:00 +0000

Just look at my lil chub a lub! 17 pounds 1 oz & 26 inches long! He is growing like a weed. Charlie loves to stand, this boy does not want to sit. He will push with his legs if he is sitting on your lap to get into a standing position and then start to bounce. I so need to get a jumperoo for him, my arms can't take it and I am starting to get some bruises on my legs from his jumping.

mmm mmm good

noreply@blogger.com (Neen) — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 15:12:00 +0000

Hey what is this ting in my mouth??

Now this is different.

I'm not sure about this stuff mommy.

What am I supposed to do with this stuff?

Not that bad, can I have some more please??

Charlie had his first taste of baby cereal this morning. I always have loved seeing children's expressions as they try new foods out. I can'twait until we move onto the veggies and fruits, I cannot wait to see how he reacts to things that have an actual flavor to them.

I wanna rock and roll all day...

noreply@blogger.com (Neen) — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 17:42:00 +0000

Does he remind you of anyone?

maybe....

It seems that my little boy has discovered his tongue, thus providing me with hours of entertainment!

Happy Valentine's Day!

noreply@blogger.com (Neen) — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 18:38:00 +0000

and just because I love his face in this one.

2nd place

noreply@blogger.com (Neen) — Sat, 12 Feb 2011 13:46:00 +0000

Well Madeleine had her spelling bee last night and her team came in 2nd place!
I am one proud momma here. I just wish that the other kids on her team listened to her when she told them that the word was spelled wrong. I could see the fustration on her face as they were up on stage. She is an excellent speller and always geys 100% on her spelling tests. Maybe next year babe!

Look at me, I am 3 months

noreply@blogger.com (Neen) — Fri, 11 Feb 2011 16:29:00 +0000

Where is time going? Baby boy is already three months old. He is trying to talk so very hard, will babble on and on. I am greeted every morning and after every nap with the biggest of smiles, they make me feel all warm and fuzzy. I cannot believe how much he has grown, it really happens way too fast.

The newest thing that he is doing that I just love is putting his hands near his mouth and smiling the sweetest smile you ever did see. That coy look that just melts my heart. Yes this little man already has me eating out of the palm of his hand.

What a great day I have been having. I had some breakfast with friends, got to show off Charlie to more people. They loved him of course ;). Then I come home took a little nap, the phone ringing woke me up. It was Fisher Price and they want me to bring Charlie in tomorrow for a photo shoot. I actually did a happy dance when I hung up the phone. My boy is following in his sisters' footsteps and will hopefully be on some Fisher Price toy boxes or in their ads. Soon after Madeline comes home from school and tells me that she has been chosen to be in her school's spelling bee. I am one happy mommy today!
