new member of our family....

Nicholas has been asking us for a pet for a while. We are not ready for a dog or a cat so decided to let him have something smaller and less costly overall.

Meet Eddie, a little gerbil :)

1st Grade-here I come!

Is it a time for a Tooth Fairy to come?

Last Saturday evening Nicholas lost his first tooth!!!! It was such an exciting moment for him and all of us as well. We have watched this little rascal being loose for a while now, so when the right moment came, I just pulled it out. Nicholas was fine with it :) We were very surprised how well Nicholas took it all, specially after seeing some blood.

Isabella's 3rd b-day

Today we celebrated Bella's b-day even though she doesn't turn 3 till August 14th. It was so sweet to see her few little friends to share this special occasion with her. We made homemade cupcakes and had some yummy watermelon and strawberries with them. Still can't believe that my little princess is already 3!

Dallas Nature & Science Museum

Today we went to Bella's friend's b-day party at the Dallas Nature & Science Museum. Kids had a lot of fun but me and Monty after few hours of running after them.....were exhausted. Here are few pics:

missed you friends!!!

Today my good friend Natalie with her precious children, Addie and Doak( and baby Brock in her belly :)) visited us! We had so much fun! First we all went to the swimming pool and enjoyed nice, cool water. Kids were splashing each other( and us), jumping many times in the water, showing each other their swimming skills. All good things come to an end....so when Sophia was gettting ready to start her screaming session-we knew it was a great time to head back home:) After drying off and changing, we all ate lunch and while kids were playing, me and Natalie talked, and talked, and talked some more. After these sweet friends left-I was a little sad knowing that they live so far those days......

We are looking forward to doing it more often though....:)

Summer days....

Can't believe it's almost time for school to start again! Our summer has been filled with lots of trips to the swimming pool, splash parks, and the library. We have had many playdates filled with laughter and sometimes tears :) Here are few pics from the last couple months:

Isabella's first swim lessons

Couple of weeks ago our sweet little Bella took her first swim lessons. She did great! First week was not easy as she cried most of the time.....but second week we saw such an improvement! She is now comfortable putting her face in the water and doesn't scream every time her big brother dumps a bucket of water on her face in the bathtub :) Can't wait to see her in the big pool this summer!

Nicholas is 6!!!!

Saturday was Nicholas' birthday and I still can't believe that my sweet little Mikus is 6 now! Still remember holding him after he was born and crying like a baby-yes, me not him :) To celebrate we made some homemade cupcakes and then had some fun at Chuck E Cheese. Then we had 4 boys for a sleepover and they all had so much fun! Bella was trying to be one of the guys the whole time and it was just hilarious to watch her....It was so much fun for Nicholas and his buddies but me and Monty were barely kicking yesterday.....

What's new?

OK so I am so behind on my blogging...I know....but I have a good excuse-a new baby, a toddler and a 5 year old who keep me very busy:) Last few months have been a little crazy but it's getting easier now. Here is a little update on us:

Sophia is 4 months old now and finally over her colic! She is a very active baby, her legs and arms are moving all the time! She can roll over both ways!

Bella is almost 2.5 and yes-still wearing diapers:( She was doing great Sophia's birth..and then everything changed. I am really trying but maybe she is not ready?

Nicholas is enjoying Kindergarten-he is reading on his own now! He loves to go to school and always wants to be around kids and play with somebody.

We are so blessed to have our sweet 3 angels and thank God daily for them.
