A throwback Wordless Wednesday....

Latest Addictions...

So I do not mean addiction in a bad sense but lately they are...

**As of last night when I started mine is Words with Friends... wow but I am so bad at it. I thought that Angry Birds was bad but this game is addicting!

**Starbucks, I have controlled this one a lot since November when I was there just about everyday! Yup maybe 6 days that month I did not get my latte (and a snack). Now that I bought a Tassimo I am hoping it will be a good substitute for Starbucks.

**Jersey Shore... That show is like a train wreck. You know it is going to be horrible but you just can't stop watching.

**cookies... wow since #4 was born I have had the worst sweet tooth! I have always had one but now it is H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E.

**Shoes but not for me. Shoes for a certain 2 year old in the house. Really what 2 year old needs shoes in every color for her many outfits? Apparently mine does. I can't wait until summer hits in full swing so it is flip flops (much cheaper).

Whew, I think I will stop there. I am sure that Chris could add a few more to the list for me so I do not think I will ask him.

The circus is in town...

I do feel like there are days when my life is a circus but this time I mean the Ringling Brother's circus. Chris and I decided to take the kids, minus the baby. I have wanted to take K to something big like this but I am very hesitant to take her anywhere these days, after all she is 2! She did pretty well most of the time... well until after the lemonade and cotton candy kicked in.

We got the boys a ticket also and let me tell you that the oldest was really not thrilled at all. I guess I can understand, who wants to go to the circus with their parents when they are 16? But he ended up having a good time (this was never admitted but instead leaked out by his brother).

Here are some cute pictures that I picked out of the 230 that I took while we were there.


K was trying on the wardrobe before the show. At first she was not too sure but she looks pretty good. I think she would fit right in with the clowns.

The motorcycles always amaze me. This year they had 7 in there going round and round.

proof that I was there too. K in her "circus" shirt. It turned out so cute (and no I did not make it.. I wish).

K's favorite part... the elfants (by the way she says it).

And finally, the picture of the 3 kids after the show. See the boys have smiles on their faces. Maybe they were glad it was over?!?!

7 months!

..and she is sitting up like a champ...



and almost crawling!

and always a pretty girl!

7 months have flown by. R is getting so big!

**combat crawls faster than most I am sure
**sitting up very well
**eating little gerber finger foods (the ones that melt)
**saying Da-da-da-da-da-da and of course Chris doesn't hear any past Da-Da.

From Patrice's blog....

One of the blogs that I read and have for over a year now is Patrice's and most of the time it talks about her son Jonah who has a condition called EB. Such a sweet and adorable baby but this time she writes about something else.

Anton is a baby (not much older than Ryleigh) in Russia who is adoptable but does not have much time. He has the same condition as Jonah so Patrice is really trying to help Anton find a home. I had tears reading about Anton, Chris and I have often talked about adopting or fostering a special needs child/children so this story really got to me. We were getting ready to persue the idea when we found out that we were pregnant with Ryleigh so that idea has been put on hold for awhile but hopefully not forever. Even though it's not the right time for us but maybe it is the right time for someone out there or someone you know.

You can read all about Anton here. While you are there you can read all about Jonah too. I love the things he is doing and how he is really beating the odds!!
