Sylvia - Milestone

Syllie took her first steps today - to me! I was so excited I was able to see her do that! My little girl is getting too big, too fast. She took two steps to me, then did it again, then all by herself took another two steps to Ryan. A few minutes later, she crawled up onto the couch. *sigh* She's the 'worst' monkey we've had. She loves to climb...onto EVERYTHING.

Victor-ism

Yesterday, we drove past McDs. Victor's in the back seat...

V - Daddy bring me to Donald's. Get french fries and chickies.
M - What? Daddy's naughty.
V - No, Daddy nice boy. He buy'ed me french fries and chickies. Daddy very good boy. *his eyes get really big* Daddy get me POP!

Eve-ism

E - Mom, how old are you?
M - 33
E - Is that close to being dead?
M - No. lol

E - How are apples made?
M - God makes them.
E - No He doesn't. He made someone smart to make them. So, who made them?

More Birthday Pics

Pretty sure she's excited :D

Sisterly love. They aren't related at all are they?


Smiling at Dad - Can I really eat this?


First touch.

Diving in with the spoon all by herself.

Cherry frosting. She didn't like it or hate it. She wasn't really sure what to think of that flavor.

Mmmmm

She loved looking at it.
It is INCREDIBLY humid here, and our a/c isn't working well. So unfortunately, this giant cupcake of a cake's frosting just melted off.

Enjoying a taste.

Getting to that "I've had enough sugar now" right before she starts thinking she is just a ball of energy, and then a sugar crash :D



Grandpa sent money to go buy her something. We bought a giant giraffe looking thing she picked out, and this outfit that we thought Gran would approve of :D

Happy Birthday, Sylvia!

One Year Old

First Day of School

Victor had to put his backpack on also. He so desperately wanted to go with them. Three more years, Buddy.

Eve didn't give us hugs, kisses, knuckles, fives...NOTHING. What the heck? She just took off. I think she was ready. And so were we lol

Eve's first day of Kindergarten was today.

Dirk's first day of 2nd Grade was yesterday.

Do you have any idea how much I accomplished today with just 2 kiddos? A LOT. And they go to bed so early since they are so worn out. Dirk was actually up before 5am this am. Eve tapped me on the shoulder and said she was ready at 5:59am this morning. She was all dressed and ready to go. This should be an easy bedtime tonight LOL
