Answers we Pray for.

One of the things that my girls and I always pray for

is for Daddy to be safe at work. I can't imagine

him not coming home to us at the end of the day.

Or getting a call from some one saying that

my husband has been hurt or killed.

This is one of those moments that you know the Lord

is looking out for your family.

Brandon could have been crushed by this

heavy truck when the concrete gave and

the truck bed sunk and almost tipped over.

I'm so glad the Lord answers our prayers.

Frog Crawl

My little guy is starting to get Mobile.

He is not even 7 months yet and is trying

to crawl. He does the frog crawl. It is so cute.

This is not the best video. I'll get a better one

another time.

Fun in the Tub!

This was Owen's first time in the tub

with one of his sisters. He is so much better at sitting

up but is very slippery in the tub. Sierra thought

it was fun to have Owen in with her.

When I run the bath water Owen gets so excited now.

He loves the tub!

I'm sure the girls little barbie doll is not very

sanitary for Owen to chew on. He puts anything and

everything in his mouth. I really should get

some new tub toys for him.

Presidents Day Weekend

We headed up to the Cabin for the weekend.

It is always so nice to relax up there with family,

even though you have to pack the entire house to go!

The girls and Brandon did some sledding. And I even

got to play in the snow for a while with them!

The Babies hung out!

The girls danced in their leotards.

Grandma got some play time with the babies.

All of us played, "Pin the Horn on the Unicorn".

Riley threw a party for us in the loft!

Brandon and the girls Wrestled!

We played the game, Uno!

Which is awesome for Paige and Sierra who

need to perfect their numbers and colors.

And for all the crap I gave Katie I now take back.

I now enjoy doing 500 piece puzzles.

Daddy Daughter Dance

Riley's school had their first annual

Daddy Daughter Dance.

I think it is a great idea. Since Brandon does

not get to spend as much time with his girls.

Next year when Paige is in Kindergarten

Brandon will have two girls to take to the dance.

Riley was so excited! They came home and

showed the rest of us girls how to two step.

Valentines Day!

Here are the cutest Valentines ever!

We had a special new dinner, three cheese Ziti

for our Valentines dinner.

The girls answered the door right before bed

and found treats and a present with their names

on them. Riley knew who it was right away.

But Paige answering the door and said,

"What the Heck, this is fun, who did this".

It was wonderful Grandpa and Grandma Gardner.

They are so sweet. They got darling books for the girls

and Owen and each a bag of treats. They also got

Brandon and I some goodies.

It was a good Valentines Day!

6 Months

My boy is now 6 months and he is sitting up

so good! He loves his baby food, 3 times a day. He is now

taking naps in his crib and not the swing.

He giggles all the time. Loves it when I hold him.

Still wakes up a couple of times at night.

Does not cry as much while riding in the car.

Screams when he is hungry. Rolls over

both ways. Has been spitting up more.

Is good at cuddling and gives good loves.

And...

Makes me smile everyday!

He weighs 17 pounds and 3 ounces at 41%

Is 27 and 3/4 inches tall at 88%

His head circumference is 44.1 cm at 58 %
