The Cherry Blossoms

Laundry

I guess I have a little laundry helper! Hannah suggested we shut the door and turn on the dryer. Ah, the love between brothers and sisters! ;)

 

Sneaky Little Boy

 Thomas managed to climb up on the table by balancing on a soccer ball during lunch clean up! The things this little boy can do, but it sure did put a smile on my face when I caught him!

Just ignore Miss Hannah's hand!:)

Markers Again?

What is it with  my kids and the markers? All I have to say is "Thank you Grandma for the markers for Christmas!" Some of you may be asking "Where is she when these kids gets into the markers?" My response is " Give my a break, I'm pregnant, I gotta go pee a lot!" :)

 

Hannah's markers are her "make- up"  There's nothing like blue lipstick! ;)

Yummy cookie Mommy!!!

Don't you just want to give him a big HUG!!!!!

And the baby is........

We had the ultrasound this afternoon and the baby is doing well and I am right on target with my dates. We also found out that we are having another girl!  I am very excited! It will be nice for Hannah to have a little sister to play with and have a sister to do all the girly things that sisters do! We are thinking of names, we have one chosen but are not 100% sure, so if any of you have any suggestions let us know!

Blake's Birthday

Blake also celebrated his 5th birthday on the 10th of the month. He loves anything Thomas or any kind of train, so we got him a Thomas cake. He had a friend come over(his other friend got sick:( )and they played and ate cake and ice cream. Blake had a great time!

My Blakey has really grown up this past year. We left the only friends he has ever known and moved to a foreign country and he has really been a trooper! Blake I were cuddling in my bed about a week ago when he rubs my belly and says " Mommy I am glad we are having another baby ". That just melted my heart! I think it is so sweet that he is so happy about bringing another sweet soul into our family. Most kids would rather have a new toy or they would be worried about sharing their toys, but when give them God, lots of love and an openness to life instead of more toys, more video games, etc.they truly do love having more children brought into their life. He said that he thinks we should have lots of kids like 8. I told him that it is up to God. I just love my little Blakey!!

Hannah's Birthday

Hannah celebrated her 3rd birthday yesterday with good friends, cheese pizza and pink cupcakes.

Afterwards the kids went outside to swing and play. Hannah had a blast on the swings!

Blake had fun too!

Even Thomas had a fun time in the swing. He also enjoyed a little cat nap!;)

Funny Things They Say!

Last night we are all siting around the dinner table when all of a sudden Blake toots at the table and says~

" I was holding that one in for years!" " It smells good too!" I know all of you that have boys will appreciate this funny little comment from my Blakey! If you have had such incidents of lively family discussions at your dinner table with your little ones, please feel free to share!!! :)

This Is For You Daddy!!!

I took this picture after Hannah comes to me with chocolate everywhere and wants me to wash her up. By the way Daddy you should be proud I got all dressed by myself!! I put on my sweater and my flannel pj bottoms! (to keep me nice & cool in the Okinawa heat) :)

We Love you and Miss you Daddy!

Love,

Your little monkeys
