With Ryan back to work I...

how do I say it...

MISS HIM!!!

When the doctor said 3 weeks I just about died.

I would be out of my routine!

So 3 weeks have gone by and it's only been 3 days

and I miss Ryan like crazy!

Anyways, the last 2 days he's done overtime which means he is gone

ALL DAY LONG.

My body must have been pretty lazy the last 3 weeks cause it's about

ready to crash by 4pm! Yesterday was a very long and hard day for me

and this morning before Ryan left for work, he gave me the biggest hug ever!

Ahh it made all the back pain, swollen feet aching stomach, and headachs

WORTH IT!!!

I LOVE THIS MAN!!!!

My Dear Sweet Rylee Anne

I know you are living in tight quarters

and love to stretch and kick...

but Mommy can't handle this

ALL NIGHT LONG!

We have to come to an agreement that you can have

1 out of 7 nights of the week to keep me up...all...night...long!!!

And lately, you are taking more then 1 night.

So PLEASE Miss Rylee,

LET MOMMY SLEEP TONIGHT!

I love you with all my heart

Mommy

Found this in an envelope on our front door for Emma.

Awhile back I wrote about a neighbor boy asking Emma if she would be

his "friend", and she said she has to ask her mom.

Well he's still asking so I guess Emma never told him no!

It's funny! We told Emma to tell him NO and if he wants to talk to you more

he has to go through your DAD!

(wonder how long that will work...)

Kids these days!

Natalie has ALWAYS called Leah

"Honey"

We don't know where it came from but we're not

going to change it cause it sounds SO cute!

"Stop it Honey!"

"Here's your chocolate milk Honey!"

"Where's my Honey"

The other day Leah was in our room and Natalie, from the living room,

said "Leah"!

We finally figured she was actually saying her name.

Leah looked up at me and Ryan and said

"Am I Leah?"

With the biggest confused look on her face!

We could not stop laughing!

Natalie went back to calling her "Honey"

and we hope it stays that way!

This picture was taken a couple appointments ago.

My last appointment my picture is a straight on face and she has my nose!

Love you Miss Rylee Anne!

I was going to put some towels into the dirty basket and while I walked by I heard Natalie talking to herself! I ran and got my camera and got these cute pictures!

Earlier this week Natalie was playing in the older girls room

and I'm pretty sure she was jumping on the bed and fell.

I found out today that she fell and hit the girls bed.

We noticed the scratch across the cheeks that day but

the black eye just started coming on yesterday.

Poor Baby!

I know I've been a slacker on blogging but I'm going to get better! I promise.

This is what has happened lately....

~About a month ago my computer crashed...thought it was a virus but ends up my "motherboard" has burned out...fried...kapish!

(so that's why I've been off~line for so long)

So we bought a cheap laptop and I'm not liking Windows at all!!! I miss my MAC and can't wait to get another!!!!

~Ryan and I have decided 5 kids is enough! So Ryan was going in...

He went in for his consultation and he told the doctor of a hernia he's had since 2004. So he wanted to take care of it all at once. Time went by (like months...) and we finally heard from a Different doctor and went in for his consultation on the two procedures, and finding out he has TWO hernias! So the date was set for Aug 25 for his 3 operations. Ryan had his check up with the doctor 10 days after his surgery and was told 3 more weeks and he can go back to work!

3 MORE WEEKS!!!!!

We both just about died! 3 weeks is a loooooooong time!

~Alison and Emma are loving school. They have met up with a lot of their old friends and made many new ones. Natalie and Leah are enjoying the time at home alone with no "bossy" older sisters. (a new word Leah learned! You're so bossy!)

~Alison is a "Super Speller" at school. She has spelling test each Friday but if she passes the practice test on Thursdays she is a "Super Speller" and doesn't have to take the test Friday! She is understanding Math a lot better.

~Emma is loving school. The first couple weeks was crazy with Emma, she threw crazy weird tantrums about homework and going to school. But we're past that stage and I hope it doesn't return! She had her first spelling test Friday and can't wait to see how she did. (but I'm sure she did great and got 100%!)

~I'm doing good! Rylee Anne is getting SO big! I've noticed she is not head down and the doctor confirmed that at my last appointment. She is laying sideways. It's kinda funny, when she kicks, she kicks and hits at the same. So I have an arm coming out one end and a leg coming out the other! It feels pretty weird. The doctor wasn't too concerned that she's laying sideways so I guess I shouldn't be. Just hope she turns downward!

Well that covers the last couple months. The next couple months are going to be fun and exciting around here!!!
