My Sisters

My dad's wedding was the last weekend in February, so our whole family was together, AMAZING! I think the last time we were all together was at the last wedding (that was in 2005!!!). Anyway, it was a busy weekend, as all weddings are. After the wedding stuff was all over, all of us girls left our kids at the hotel with our great hubbies (except for Sharma - she will get one soon enough :) and hung out at Chili's for a couple of hours eating chips, salsa, more dessert, etc. We had such a great time and I realized again how much I miss living close to each of my terrific sisters. I got married and moved away when Sharma was only 6 and I have really missed being more apart of each of their lives. So, in honor of my sisters, here is a list of just three of the many things I love about each of them and many of them could apply to more than one because they are great!

Sharma: Excited about life, a romantic, adaptable

Elise: Positive, amazing artist, dependable

Janeen: Awesome crocheter, kind friend, caring

Cami: Funny, super decorator, generous

I wish I was a better big sister - I keep trying (as with most things in my life) and hopefully I will keep getting better at it! I love each of you!! I think it is time for girl only trips!

Teeth Tragedy

It has taken me some time before I could even post about Bella's little teeth. She had just finished her shower a few Sunday's ago and decided that she was going to get herself out of the tub before I helped her and down she went, hitting her chin on the edge of the tub. Her bottom teeth crashed into her top teeth and she pushed one front tooth forward, one backward and chipped the one that went front and the one on the other side of the pushed back tooth. Of course she was crying, but after I saw what had happened I was crying too and I think I might have cried longer. Of course, being Sunday, there wasn't anywhere I could take her, so first thing Monday morning I made an appointment with a Pediatric dentist and took her in. Good news - they didn't have to pull her teeth. Bad news - hopefully they won't have to in the future. I know they are just baby teeth but I don't want them to fall out for a few years!!

Clark's Big Ten-O Birthday

I ask myself the same question every year at Clark's birthday...am I really old enough to have a TEN year old? (Well, next year it will be eleven...) Anyway, Clark did turn 10 last month, but I am a little behind on posting things. We had a fun day - Basketball game in the morning, a few presents and a little pizza and movie party at night with his friends. Ryan took the pictures for the day since I was holding Lucy both times and I realize that I am not much of a photographer, but I can't rave about the pictures we have to document the day!

Clark has really grown up this year - taller and more mature. He is a great big brother (that someday soon is going to be able to babysit for us :), he loves to make people smiles and has aspirations to be a scientist. We are so glad to have him in our family!
