party time!

i know that i'm a good two weeks late on getting these posted.  having 3 kids is kicking my butt.  there is no time!  however, brooks and i have had plenty of time to make it to world 8 on super mario brothers on the wii.  don't judge, you all know how much fun that sounds.  it's like i'm a kid again.  and it's not just me, andrew loves playing too.  we try to limit the time we spend playing but it's so darn addicting.  you just have to make it one more level.  so, between that and life itself i've lost track of time on the blog and haven't updated.

shelby is still working on walking.  she's up to about 10 steps until she plops down and takes off crawling.  she's so fast i don't think she wants to give that up yet.  and just today i noticed two more teeth coming in on the top.  i wouldn't of even noticed she was teething but she was laughing upside down and i saw them coming in.  so far, from about 4 months on, she has been such an easy baby.  we are so lucky she decided to get with the program.

the boys are both doing great in school.  they each had their field day/fun run this past week which about wore me out.  running between two different schools can get tricky.  we're still working on next year's plan.  the hopes are that they can both go to the same school, where that may be is still up in the air.  i'm just praying that we make the right decisions for both the boys.  i've said it before, but this parenting stuff is for the birds sometimes.  sheesh.

here are shelby's birthday party pictures.  the few that i took before her party actually started.  none from during the party.  i forgot to put someone on that for me.

she was not loving her cake.  look at that face!

i did a cake redo hoping she would dig in for me but it was still a no-go.  the cake sure was pretty though.
