Don't forget the little people

And these are pictures of Daxton. What kind of mother would I be if I didn't post some of these for all to see what a cutie he is.

I was talking to a girlfriend the other day and we were saying how we just can't put our babies in bed to let them cry, or if they do cry we can't let them, we have to pick them up, and they are spoiled spoiled spoiled (I don't really believe you can spoil a baby until they are at least 2). But we talked that our 3rd was different somehow (maybe the 4 year gap??)


Anyway, the top picture is Daxton the night Logan proposed to Natalie. Grandpa thought it would be fun to take a picture of him with the ring and the Martinelli's. He is so funny. But I am sure that whomever he (Daxton) asks to marry would be very SMART to say yes.... so this one is for all the 10 month old baby girls out there.

Then there are the girls with Daxton. We used to say that he had three cries: hungry, tired, and when the girls were around. He has since been able to communicate slightly better, but I can still tell when the girls are getting to close to his comfort zone. What do you do?

Reminiscing

So I found these pictures on my mom's computer and I remember taking them almost 2 YEARS ago. Wow I can' t believe how time is flying. I got an email the other day that asked me what day I was looking forward to and there wasn't really one (ok you got me, next Tuesday

I am going to Las Vegas with Doug for a week.... with NO kids), but before then there really wasn't anything I wanted the days to pass for. It seems like I forget to enjoy the little things in life like doing puzzles, reading books, or taking the kids to the park. So here are some pictures to remind me to slow down and that life comes at me TOO fast.

Weekly Update

So this week... Mikenna went into the office and said, Daddy I really want a snack can I have one? I asked her, what did your mom say. She gave me her best I'm 4 going on 40 voice and said, Dad just don't worry about her OK? I just want a snack. I replied, That's fine, go ask your mom. To which she replied, I said don't worry about her. I later found out that she had asked Brittany and was told no so she was playing the I'll sweet talk my daddy card.......too bad I was an expert at that little game and saw right through her, HA.

Daxton is starting to get a little temper like Mikenna and he has the loud girl scream like savannah, so looks like he got the best parts of both of his older sisters. I'm hoping that girl scream goes away soon. If his voice stays high for as many years as mine did we might have to sign him up for the Vienna Boys Choir.

This week was spring break so no school. Every day the girls woke up asking where they were going today. The answer, NOWHERE, didn't seem to be sufficient.

We planted corn, cantalope, cucumbers, squash and a few other things in our garden a week and a half ago for home evening so I'm hoping they start peeking through sometime this week. The weather is starting to get hot. I took the kids for a walk today and it's getting uncomfortable to be outside during the day. My small grasssy area is almost green, if I water it this week it should look pretty good by the end of the week

PS Doug wrote this as an email to his family and I posted it
