I picked up this gate for Cheap at Big Lots. This way the kids can come up to the door and talk to me. This is way better then them opening and closing the door all the time and in the process letting the dog out. Sadie is really a great dog especially for being only a year old. But she seems to be on this all poop diet and if she doesn't get outside to look for some she gets a little desperate. She'll wait for the door to open and bolt out.

Now poor Lincoln loves to be outside but refuses to try and crawl. It just hurts to see him drag himself and his cloths across the cement and grass. And at 23 pounds I can't carry him everywhere. I mean for heavens sake that's like a quarter of my weight. I'm getting in shape but not that much!!
So the two of them just sit by the door and either talk or bark at people as they go by. Its actually quality time they spend together. It cracks me up when Lincoln turns to Sadie and says something and Sadie looks at him like she can completely understand him.

Oh one more thing. Doors open out down here because of the hurricanes. Less chance of the wind blowing them open. And more room for us!

Teething...

I wasn't sure if you could really see how swollen he is, so I took another shot just in case.
All four of his upper incisors are sooo swollen and his left one is cutting before his middle. Josh says he's doing it OUT OF ORDER!!

Plus, LOOK CLOSELY or double click... his bottom teeth came in in a "V" formation. Josh calls him our little ogre.

He may be a laid back kid but I wounder if this is fortelling the fact that he will go "against the grain" in a lot of things in life.

One of my Beautiful Boys!!

I could not get Lincoln to go to sleep one day and then in frustration I laid him in my bed. He didn't move for about 45 minutes. Eyes closed as soon as he hit the pillow.

Speaking of EYES! He seems to melt everyone who meets him! 10 months old already. I have to get a pic of his swollen gums. All 4 top teeth are racing to come in.

Happy 3rd Birthday Sydney!

She woke up to a wall size Princess Banner with ALL the princesses on it. She was in Heaven.

Her friends Kayla and Haylee. All born with in months of each other.

Yes I know she turned three in February but I'm a little behind.

She had a Disney Princess party and had 2 little friends over. Lots of fun and treats and surprises. She wore a shirt that said Birthday Girl on it and her Cindrella Crown all day.
GOOD TIMES!! I can't believe she is 3!!

The Nova Singers

This is the choir I belong too. I love it and the music we sing. I thought I would share with you one of my favorite songs from the last concert series. Its called "I am not yours". The person is trying to express the fact that they don't love a another person in return. And that they wish they could but they don't.
Here are the lyrics...

WE'RE BACK!!

OK everyone calm down. We are back.
Let me clear the air a little bit. No I am not pregnant (that usually is the case when blogs go into hibernation). No our computer wasn't broken. Yes our camera was missing but you can still blog with out pics (not as fun though). The reality is that I have 3 kids under 5 and a husband who is busy and stressed. With one turning 5 and feeling like a big boy, another turned 3 and throwing OVER THE TOP temper tantrums, and a 3rd who is 10 months and teething 4 teeth at the same time. Josh is in the toughest year of dental school. In May he has 17 tests in 10 days. And hard ones at that. He just finished mid terms and that was a lot of FUN! He of course did really well and slept very little.
As for me... I'm tring to keep my sanity. I'm training for a triathlon on May 31st followed by a boob Job on the 1st of June. Yes you read that right! Email me if you want details. Josh says a blog is not the place. I'm researching ADD and tring to figure out if maybe that is where all my anxiety stems from. I've been reading a lot of historical fiction. Josh says I'm obsessed with King Henry the 8th and his court. I do love it but I think I'm coming to a stopping point. I love the ROKU and Netflix. Back to the tri. business... Josh has a bike trainer, so when I cant get out to bike I just hook it up and off I go. Otherwise it me pulling Sydney and Lincoln in the trailer and thats fine too. I go to the pool about 3 times a week. I can now swim a 100 with out passing out. And running is what I hate the most. But the point to all this is that it gets my endorphins going and I get away from the kids. Hey if I have to run a tri to get away from the kids thats what I do. Joking but totally serious too.
I'm still In the choir. Nova Singers, you can look us up on Utube. I just finished a set off concerts. I sang 3 solos in the last one. I go every Tues night and I love it. Its becoming like family there, well almost. And it gives me that performance bug that I've been missing for so long.
Isaac is in kindergarten all day next year. He'll catch the bus at 7:15 and come home @ 2:30. I'm really excited because Preschool really breaks up the day but at the same time I'm sad to let him go. He'll start sports this summer I think. We'll see.
Sydney is speaking better. Therapy has helped but man can see throw a fit. And they last forever!!! Shes still super cute ofcourse!
Lincoln still refuses to crawl. His commando scoot serves him well so why bother. He has 2 teeth on the bottom and is getting all 4 up top. He's such a sweet natured little boy that everyone who sees him falls in love instantly. Its hard to believe that he will be a year in just 2 months. I think its b/c Isaac and Sydney were already up on their feet by now. But oh well he can take his time. He's my last one, my baby and he can take as long as he likes.
I better eat. So I'll try to get some pics up here soon. Till then....
I'm on facebook too guys!
