Our Shining Star


It's Sunday, again...and here we are! We are loving the nicer weather and have spent as much time outside as possible. Hudson and Madden are just a tiny bit too short to ride their motorcycles, but they try!

(Hudson 15 mo)
(Madden 15 mo)
When the weather wasn't cooperating with us, Paisley and I did some baking...
And Hudson and Madden did some eating....

The twins sure do love their Grandma! It's funny, because the two boys have such different personalities--Madden gets scared of certain people really easily and screams bloody murder. And then there are some people (even strangers) that he clings to. If you pick him up, he's yours for life. :) Hudson is more cautious of all people...doesn't freak and doesn't want to sit with you either. Luckily, they both cling to Grandma.
And....Madden made a friend. Our friend Matt came to hang and brought his new puppy! Madden clung to him and that was that.
This week we went to see cousin Cambree's T-ball game. She did great! The kids also got some playtime at the playground!


THE RECITAL!!!
Our little Miss P made it through 7 weeks of "Dance Buffet" at the Indoor Sports Center. Each Thursday evening she stretched, played freeze dance, learned ballet and jazz dance moves and learned two routines. Thursday was her recital...and we were all so excited to watch her!!
Words honestly cannot describe how excited Paisley was. When she saw her daddy, brothers, both grandma's, uncle Cal and her cousins...she beamed with excitement. See....
They waited in a line and each child took turns showing off specific dance moves that they've been working on.


And then they did their Ballet routine. Paisley did excellent! She will tell you, " I did so well, that's why I got a balloon!"



Didn't have time to edit the video of the routines, so maybe next week. We are SO proud of Paisley...and she is already begging to be in dance again. This summer she is signed up for "tot-nastics" and swimming lessons, so she will be plenty busy, but we plan to get her back into dance in the fall.

Her dance class!! They started with 12 kids...only 8 made it all the way through. The class is made up of 3 and 4 year olds (their might be one 5 yr old in the group). So yes, Paisley is probably one of the youngest...but obviously the shortest by far as well. :) During dance, all the kids would run to get a drink at the fountain....poor Paisers would have to find me because she couldn't reach to get a drink...even with the stool! :)

BABY UPDATE: 37 Weeks

Well, this week I am considered full term!! Really...she could be here any day now! She has been flipping and moving like crazy--to the point in which it's painful at times. I've had more contractions with this pregnancy than ever before, but they are all random and are just practice. Like I need practice!!

I had an appointment last week, but couldn't finish it because they were running so far behind and I had to get to Paisley's recital. So, I had to go back to finish up my lab work and the end of the week and haven't heard the results yet. Her heart beat was 145 and I measured at 36 weeks.

Otherwise, now it's just a waiting game. This is the hardest part. I am kinda crabby (Craig might say more than kinda). I can't bend over well, and it's really painful lifting the kids in and out of their cribs. But...the end is in sight. It's nothing compared to the end with the twins, so I'll take it. And soon enough, I am going to be holding a beautiful baby. I cannot wait!
36 weeks pregnant with baby #4

I also wanted to thank several of my friends who have all volunteered, so generously, to take "a week" and deliver a meal to our home-- starting in mid June through August! I was insistent that I didn't want anyone to do anything for us--but I have the best friends, who are all so thoughtful....so thank you all...especially Emily!! Love you all!! XOXO!

Well...enjoy your week. It's only a short time before this blog will be filled with newborn pictures again...so fun! :)
