It has been over a year and a half since my last post. I decided that blogging is such an easy way to keep track of my kids life. I need to be better at taking pictures and keeping track of them. Lets see if I can figure this whole blogging thing out again. Just a few things about each child. Nicholas is 9.5 which makes me so sad. What is wrong with me? They grown up so fast. This boy is the best! He is the sweetest most caring child around. He shares everything with his siblings. Poor kid can't eat a snack in peace. He is Quincy's 2nd dad. She ADORES him. He lives for sports. He is constantly looking up scores and stats for college and pro football and basketball games. He LOVES Saturdays when he plays in a few basketball games. He is a hands on learner and a Math whiz. Nicholas has a lot of friends because he is a lot of fun and very kind. Nicholas loves his dirt bike and loves to ski. He will always choose playing outside then in the house. I will always love my first born. Isaac will be 8 next month. He loves to read. At school they have an AR program (accelerated reading) every quarter they have a new goal they need to meet. He is trying to double his goal so his teacher will buy him lunch. He was announced over the intercom at school for being the only 2nd grader to hit his AR goal. it had only been 2 weeks into it and he met his goal. He LOVES school. Isaac also loves sports and does really well with them. He is a tough boy. He loves to ride his dirt bike, fish, ski and anything out doors. This boy is always happy. He is a great brother and so loving. He also plays the piano and is working on memorizing some Christmas songs. Love you Isaac:) Sydney is 4. She loves to dance like nothing I have seen before. She is her daddys "cowgirl" and adores her dad. Her brothers always say her and Quincy are hilarious. They really are. When Syd is not around the house is too quiet. She is FULL of life, spunk personality and animation. She hugs all of her friends and loves to feel pretty. This girl is all about makeup, her purse, clothes, princess dresses etc. She also LOVES to get dirty, work with dad and sys she can't wait to go hunting someday. She is a bright and precious little girl. We all love her! Quincy is almost 20 months. She was born with the sweetest spirit about her. She is very calm, quiet and easy going. Q girl will follow Sydney everywhere and mimic just about everything she does. They have the best relationship. I hope it always stays that way. They look out for each other and every morning get so excited to see each other. This girl LOVES baby dolls. She almost always has one in her hands. Bob, Nicholas, Isaac, Sydney and I honestly thin she is the funniest and cutest thing on earth. She says a lot of words but is not speaking in full sentences quite yet. She is a petite little thing and we cant get enough of her!! Love you baby girl.

Day ONE of working out. Down 20 lbs from Quincy's birth 4.5 weeks ago, here's to 20 more!! Then watch out Bob. I texted this to my sister then thought why not blog it:) The other day I was telling Bob how excited I was to get back in shape. He quietly pulled this song up on youtube. I love that man, he's hilarious!

My little Fam.

Sisterly love. While I was pregnant, Sydney would tell people she was going to pinch her baby sister when she came out of my tummy. I was a little worried she might be jealous. So far so good. She thinks Quincy is the the coolest thing that ever came to our family. She calles her "Our Quincy!"

I look very forward to Saturday and Sunday. Bob is so helpful. One of our favorite family activities is watching music videos on youtube. I say it often, Bob is really one in a million when it comes to being a dad.

Quincy will be 3 weeks tomorrow. I love her coloring!

I have pink eye in this picture but I still love that I am snuggling my 2 favorite girls:) There is another post below......

Beautiful Quincy

Quincy's new born pictures at 5 days old. Yikes....they grow WAY to fast, she has already changed and looks older to me.

I really do have the hardest time putting down my babies. I know how short lived this special time is. Bob came home from work a couple of days ago and just laughed. He wondered if I had put her down since her birth. I LOVE my babies!

On Cloud NINE!!

Here we have Quincy Belle, born April 11th. We are so glad she is here safe and sound. This little beauty is worth all 9 months of torture:) I don't think I have ever in my life been so happy. She is PERFECT in every way.






The Tuesday before Quincy was born I started having contractions, I knew then she would be coming soon. Bob and I went for a long walk aroudn 9:00 at night and they kept getting closer together. I took a shower and packed my bags just in case. I wanted to try and wait until morning, I know how the Dr's are, they won't do anything in the night unless it is to catch the baby. Finally at 12:30 my water broke and my contractions were almost unbearable. I wanted to make it in time for the epideral. I barley made it, checked in close to 1am, epideral at 2am and baby at 3:50am. I tried falling asleep, woke up and pushed the nurses button and told her the baby was coming out. She called the Dr. and I had to wait about 10 min. That was the most painful part but he got there and out she came. My labors and deleiveries are a peice of cake, so are my babies. All 4 have been so sweet and calm. We are all in love with this baby. I really can't get enough. Oh do we have fun plans ahead Quincy! We love you baby girl.
EASTER:
They woke up to a scavenger hunt, their favorite Easter breakfast, church and an egg hunt.

On the hunt.




Sorting through their finds.

SPELUNKING:
We took the kids on a little caving adventure one afternoon. The boys thought is was pretty cool. Poor Syd fell a sleep on the drive there and missed out. She woke up a little disappointed as you can see.





FEELIN' THE LOVE!

I thought I made it clear to my friends that I did not want a shower this time around. It's my 4th child and I already have a girl. They didn't listen. Much to my suprise, me and baby girl were spoiled rotten. I am thankful for such wonderful friends.











Nicholas was the big bad wolf in the first grade play they had. I thought he might be a little shy, but nope, not one bit. He did great! I was proud if him.

My AMAZING mom and sisters also had a celebration for me and baby Q. We got massages, had a great dinner and then I got spoiled with presents. What would I do without these sisters of mine, they are the best?!

APRIL 7th Nicholas will be turning 8 this summer, we have been talking a lot about him getting baptized. I asked him if he was excited about it and this was his response. "Mom, I am not ready to get baptized, I want to wait, Jesus was older when he got baptized and he knew a lot more than I know, I need to wait until I know more." It looks like I know what the topic of conversation will be around here for the next 6 months.

Sydney is constantly saying adorable comments. I love her age. She is full of it and just a pleasure. I tell her often that she is my best friend, now her new thing is to grab my face and tell me I am her beeeeest fwend. She is just the happiest and most social little thing.

Since Isaac goes to school in the afternoons, he has been able to spend some mornings working or running errands with Bob. They are kindred spirits, these two are one of a kind. Isaac came home singing I'm awesome and I know it. (instead of I'm sexy and I know it) He is witty and catches on quick to comments that seem beyond his age.

Kids are great!!

I am happy to say that my due date is back to the original date, April 6Th! I have 4 weeks left. Let me tell you, it can't come soon enough. I NEVER EVER thought this pregnancy would end, I still won't believe it until the day really comes:) We are all ready and excited to meet this baby girl. I have been an organizing maniac, it feels wonderful. I have never been so proud to deep clean and organize in my life. I think I have shown Bob the pantry, closets and storage room 3 or 4 times. It's a big accomplishment for me these days. Next week I will tackle the garage.
If I could find my computer plug I would show you my bump, I will look around and post pics one day soon. Posts are all out of order....
Bob gets an award for planning a sweet family vacation. We didn't go far, just a quick flight to Arizona but it was 7 days of pure heaven. I was kicking and screaming to get back on that plane. There is something about having dad around that makes things a little more fun. One of the highlights for the boys was going to the ASU football game. Sydney and I went for a night swim, ordered in room service and relaxed that night.

The resort we stayed at was a hit. It had a mini water park. We spent a lot of time soaking up the sunshine!












What my boys love most right now.


Nicholas is all about football and Isaac is all about any sport he can get his hands on. They will be playing on a basketball team together this winter, I can't wait to watch!

Thanksgiving feast!


The day after Thanksgiving all of the cousins met for an intense bowling game.



Cabin time with the Adams family!




Sydney is in love with Cooper, they are so stinkin cute together. We caught them playing house, calling each other mom and dad.
