Goodbye...

Well, I've decided to stop blogging. I have hardly been writing any posts lately, and I just don't feel the urge to. I also have so many other things on my plate right now... the house, the kids, hubby, friends and I want to start scrapbooking again. So, if you want, you can keep up with me on facebook or twitter (alikatmb). Thanks for all your support and love with all that has happened since I began in the blogging world... I will definitely still be reading your blogs, so know that I'm still keeping up with you, too :)

When: Saturday, October 17 - starting at 10am, ending whenever we're done (food will be served throughout the day!)

Why: Our yard is a mess and we can't keep it under control
Who: Anyone willing and able
What to Bring: A shovel and any other yard tools that may come in handy

Please let me know if you would like to come and help us! We need all the muscle and extra bodies we can get :D Thanks!

I'm alive and well. Just so completely exhausted that I don't have the energy or creative power for blog writing. I've still been keeping up with everyone's, so no worries there. Had an interesting 2 days on July 14th an 15th - went into pre-term labor, had an ambulance ride to the City as we were at the lake and then nothing progressed so I was sent home after 18 hours of being in the hospital. So, now, I'm having Braxton Hicks and cramps and playing the waiting game :) Here are a few new pics of Bee!

Building towers with Daddy and having way too much fun :D

Reading with Mommy

Our little book worm

Already loving the shoes... mommy foresees a problem here ;)

First morning in her new "big girl" bed!

Helping mommy clean and move the crib up a level

Feeding and rocking her baby

Our little ballerina...


She's such a monkey, this laughing was totally fake ;)

Our Wonderful Vacation!

I guess I really should have posted these sooner, but things have been so crazy since we've been back. I've had tons of appointments and lots of get togethers, so here they finally are!

Our thumb sucker getting over a fever... and we dragged her to the zoo on one of the hottest days :( I just love the way she has to stroke her blankie with the other hand.

She learned how to swim on her own with water wings and absolutely loved it!

She also loved sitting on the top step and climbing into the pool on her own :)

At the zoo... the only pic I have of us...

Daddy and monkey walking back after daddy got a much needed haircut!

There was a smaller warthog statue, but she wanted to "ride" the big one ;)

Hubby went on a long hike with the men... glad I wasn't there to watch him climb this rock :D




Our trip was awesome and it was horrible coming back to snowstorms and cool weather, but I guess we're lucky we got to go in the first place ;)
