New pictures of the kiddos!

Back in February I decided I needed to take the kids and get pictures taken since we had not had any taken since Sophie was 3 months old! So I packed up the kids and headed out for pictures, they were all in great moods and I thought wow this is going way too easy! I think I jinxed myself..
Things were going good and we had gotten one of all three of them together and then the meltdown started!! Sadie was just not having it anymore, I don't know if the lady freaked her out or what but she froze and would not do anything and just started crying and crying and not even my Mom ( who came with me) could get her to do anything. And usually Grammy can get her to do things when I can't! Her and I are too much alike I think and she wanted nothing to do with Mom.

Even when we went and bought Sawyer a Slurpee for his awesome picture taking, she still would not budge. So we ended up getting Sophie and Sawyer's done that day and went back a few days later with Lance and she sat right up there for him and took some cute pictures.. I tell you, I think it was me being there and not him. I don't understand it. But after all the craziness we finally got new pictures and I think they turned out cute, we could not get Sophie to smile in any of the group one's though. I think the lady was being a little silly for her and she just kept staring at her like what are you doing! At least her single we got a smile. :) So here they are!

My precious kiddos - Feb 2012 ( This was day one of pictures, right before the meltdown) :)

This was taken on day two of pictures!

My sweet Sadie girl - 3 1/2  yrs old

My handsome Sawy boy - 3 1/2  yrs old

My adorable Sophie -  9 months old!

November, December and January happenings!! ( A little late) ♥

Well I decided to go all the way back to Nov, Dec, and some of January.. We have been super busy with three kiddo's and Lance working a lot. But we have a lot of fun family time. Sophie will be 9 months on Feb 16th and I can't believe how fast this past year is going with her. Way to fast for me! She is such a happy, loving baby! She loves to give hugs and loves her daddy! Every time he gets home from work she reaches for him or will crawl over to him, it is so cute!
She also loves playing with Sadie and Sawyer and follows them every where they go, she has now been crawling for a  month and a half and is everywhere and she is fast! She pulls herself up on all the furniture she can and walks along the couch, I think she will be walking in no time! Lance was a early walker as well and I think she will be. She now has 4 teeth and more coming in!

We just love having her in our home and love her to pieces! Sadie and Sawyer are loving preschool and are learning lots of fun things. Sadie loves Dance and loves going and seeing all of her friends. Sawyer would love to play Hockey, my nephew Maguire started this year and we have watched him play and now that's all Sawyer wants to do, too bad they don't let you start until you are 5. So we will have to wait a few more years for that. But he plays at home with his Golf club as his hockey stick and puts his slippers on as his skates! It's pretty darn cute to watch him. I need to see if I can find a play Hockey set for him.
I have been teaching Dance on Wednesdays with my Mom and babysitting my niece and nephew on Tuesdays while my sister teaching Dance, we switch off days and watching each others kids. Lance is still working hard for our little family and I appreciate all that he does for us.. He is a wonderful Dad and husband.
Well I better wrap this is up as Sophie is awake from her nap! I promise to do better at blogging for those of you who still read my blog. I haven't been great at looking or commenting on all of your blogs either, but want to keep up to date better with all of you as well..
So enjoy this post and pictures and I will add more soon!

Sadie wanted to show me the back of her new Dance jacket

Sawyer didn't want to go up there, so Grammy helped him out to get his treats

Sadie wouldn't sit on his lap, but she would sit in front of them. :)

Sweet Sophie

These were Sophie's first teeth! She now has 4 and working on more and I need to get pics of her two top one's. She got her first tooth at 4 months!

I just love this little girl!

I did it, again!!

OK, so I have been so horrible at this blog lately!! I feel bad that I have not been documenting like I use to. I had talked about going private a few months ago and that never happened and then I just have plan not done anything on it! I want to keep a better journal of my little family's life and I feel bad that I have not posted much of Sophie like I did with the twins! So I am really hoping to get some new posts up, the problem is I don't know if I should start where we are now or go back to Christmas and post up until now! Ahh, let's hope I can at least get something posted here and fast.
For those of you who have been asking about my lack in blogging, I will hopefully not disappoint you. So be looking for some new posts coming soon, I really promise this time! :)

Changes coming..

Well I can't believe that it has been 2 months again since I have blogged!! But I have decided that before I post anymore on here that I as many of you have will be going PRIVATE!! Gosh, I never thought I would say that, but I have just been getting too many "visitors" that I have no idea who they are checking my blog and I want to keep my little people and family safe and so I am going to go private. So I will be doing this in a few weeks. I realize that the "private" blogs don't get looked at as much, but I feel like I need to do this.

So I hope that you will all still check in with us, even though I have been a horrible blogger lately. So please leave me your email address if you want a invite to our blog! I will not post your email addresses, it will only come so I can see them. Also if you check our blog and are a friend of a friend or whatever and would like a invite, let me know who you are and I would be happy to send you a invite as well! :)
Thanks and hopefully once we have changed this I will get some of the things we have been busy doing on here.

Our family update!

Gosh, I can't believe I haven't posted again for awhile. Summer went by and now we are already into fall. We have had some new things happening at our house and they are keeping us busy!
First off Sadie and Sawyer started Preschool and love it! My sister Michele does a preschool out of her home and they love going and being with their cousin Ireland and Aunt Michele. Sophie and I hang out at my Mom's house with our cute nephew Boston while they are at school.

Sawyer started Soccer and has done really well, he loves talking about his Soccer friends and his coach. He looks so cute in his uniform. :)
Sadie started Dance and loves that as well. She has found a cute new friend in her class and thinks it's her job to show her the ropes I guess, the little girl just let's her do it and doesn't seem to mind. She is also in the class with her cousin Ireland and I am her new teacher as well. :) I haven't taught since before I got pregnant with Sophie, but it's nice to be back and it gives me a little break from my sweet kids. My sister Michele takes them and watches them for me while I teach and I watch her kids and my kids on Tuesdays while she teaches. It works out good!

Sophie is growing so fast and I want her to slow down, she is 4 months now and such a fun and happy baby! We all love her to pieces! She is rolling over all over the place and laughs and just adores Sadie and Sawyer. I love to hear and see them playing and talking with her and making her laugh out loud, the cutest thing ever!
She also loves her daddy a ton! Every time she hears his voice she starts looking for him and just stares at him while he is talking, just waiting for him to look at her and when he does she gives him the biggest smile ever! Melts my heart it is so sweet!
 We had a great summer and are looking forward to cooler weather and fall.. Not so much winter, but I guess living where we do we get it no matter if we like it or not! :)

I don't think our lives will be slowing down anytime soon, so I am hoping I will be able to keep up on blogging better ( I hope anyway!) We hope that you are all doing well and here are some pictures of what has been going on around here! Enjoy!!
