We're still alive...

This has been a busy and fun week. We have really enjoyed having my mom and Rosie Feather Welker (her bird) live with us, but it seems like the days just fly by. Before we know it, it's 4:00, time for Jason to be off, and we're all still in our Pajamas. I know Mila is enjoying not having to scream every time I'm pumping to get her a bottle. She is going to be spoiled rotten by the time grandma leaves....

We blessed Mila on Sunday, but she slept for about three hours afterwards, and by the time she woke up she was screaming because she was so hungry, so we didn't get a single picture of her in her blessing dress. I'll have to do that soon and post them.

Thanks for everyone who came. It really was a fun day laughing and eating.

Here are some pictures of our week:

This is a picture of my mom's bird. It was born in May, so it's just a baby. You have to handle them and talk to them alot while they are young, so they get use to you and so you can teach them to talk. Well my kids think this is great. As soon as Leah wakes up she says "I need to go tell Rosie good morning."



This is a picture of Carter trying to give Rosie a ride on his ambulance. She didn't think it would be a very fun ride, so she kept flying off. The next morning he tried giving her a ride on his skateboard and she didn't like that either...My mom just says "We'll have to work with her."

Here's Leah cleaning the cage with Grandma. (Notice the PJ's at noon)

Here's a picture of some of Grandma's little helpers while we were packing her up. It went pretty smooth even with 15 grand kids all under the age of eight wanting to help.

Of course Carter went in the garage and found something to keep him busy....bungee cords...only Carter....

Then on Saturday my whole family (except me, I stayed home with Mila & Leah) went to my brother Eric's race. Carter couldn't wait for the race to get over, cause he knew after it was over he would be able to put on Eric's helmet again. This time he got to sit in his race car too. That just made his night.

Here are pictures of the kids at the mall play area. I went to the mall to get Mila's ears pierced, but once I got there I chickened out and couldn't do it. Stacey was with me when I got Leah's ears pierced and I didn't even think twice about it. I think I just needed some moral support...Maybe next time.

Mila even had fun...

How could you hurt such a cute baby???

This is a picture of a baby lizard that I found in our house. I called Carter to come and look what I found and when he saw it, you would've thought something bit him 'cause he took off running and screaming like a girl....I thought boys were suppose to like bugs and spiders??? Well, we know Carter doesn't. Too funny!!
