The Ladies

There is not much going on here. I'm just adjusting to being a mom of three. It's not bad. Haley's in summer school 3 days a week and Claire and Addy just hangout with me. My family has asked me to post more pics of the baby. No one here knows who she looks like. Everyone says "She doesn't look like Haley or Claire". What do you think? Is she the mail mans baby? There's another pic below to help you decide.

Claire is going through a phase where she has to have the same hair as Haley. Let me tell you it is really hard to get my fat fingers to braid that little hair. Her pigtails stick straight out but, that's the only way she'll let me do it.

Here is Haley laying with Addison. The whole time the baby laid on her she wouldn't move, she kept her arms totally stiff. She didn't want to disturb her she said.

Claire Bear's 2!

Claire's Birthday was on July 7th but, we had it a little late. I was still recovering from having a child...I'm surprised I even remembered. We had a elmo party just like Haley did when she was 2.She thought it was weird when we all sang Happy Birthday to her. This is the face she made the whole time we sang. Maybe she's just disgusted by our voices.

We got Claire an Elmo car and she was really excited about it. This is a picture of my sweet princess ripping Chase off her new car..... sharing is caring is her motto.

This picture shows how much Chase is like his father, trying to get a peek. And how Mila is like her mother by letting him.

My poor husband, I make him do everything

She's Here!

For those of you that didn't know I have birthed my baby. Addison Jean was born on June 30th. Everything went really well and fast. I got to the hospital at 9pm and had her at a little after 11pm. I made sure it wasn't too fast to get my epidural. I still felt a lot and have a whole lotta respect for those who do it natural.

She was a big girl 9 pounds 7 ounces and 21 in long. I could have sworn she was going to be small but, the word small and Melissa don't mix. She's a really good baby, she just still has her nights and days mixed up. I'm staying at my moms which is a huge blessing. She watches the other girls while Addison and I nap. I dread going home. Anyway, I feel really good, better than with both other girls. I just keep thanking the Lord for how well everything went. Ben says it's so easy we could have 4 more...He's still recovering in the hospital.

Here's my cute little family on 4th of July. I was so lonely while they went and celebrated without me, I kinda like them a lot!

Going for a Record!!

I know...can you believe it..2 posts in one month. Its a record breaker. I know when the baby comes I will be bad again so I thought I'd try now. These pics are all out of order but, I still dont compute well enough to figure out how to blog correctly. Anyhoo, Some have asked to see how big I've gotten and this is as good as it gets. I dont really like my pic taken as it is but w/ an extra 25 pounds Im even less than thrilled. This is about the only profile pic I have and Im not taking one myself, they are too close.
Here we went swimming at Ben's moms house. Its like 114 degrees outside and I love feeling weightless in the water so we swim more now.

This is my cutie Claire bear. She is so baby obsessed. Im more worried about her than having a baby. Any baby we see she wants to hold and poke and kiss. I keep finding her in the infant seat and bouncer. I need to hide them better.

Happy Fathers Day. Bens gonna love me for putting this flattering pic of him up. We made him breakfast, which the girls mostly ate. He got a Flat screen for his birthday/fathers day gift. He's such a good dad and husband. In the last couple months he has built me a entertainment center, a laundry room and a patio cover. Im gonna post pics of all of them soon. My girls adore him and so do I. Okay, enough about him this is my blog! Dont you love Cliare's second day pig tail hair.

(Ben in his underwear)

My Baby girl graduated from preschool. Shes so big now. Next year she will go to kindergarten full time(8-2). I think Im more nervous than she is. I dont have too many pics because it was a great ceremony...Short! Sing some cute songs and have some food. Just how I like it.

Anyway, Thats all Ive got for now. My babies due next week some time and Im just trying to get ready. Like you can be prepared for a third child. Im just very...tired. I cant wait till my friends have more kids so they will understand my flakiness more. I love you guys by the way. Thanks for sticking by me when I never answer your calls. I'll try and do better....no I wont!

Summa Time!

Summer hasn't officially started but, it seems like it. We've been enjoying the nice weather,bar-b quing and good summer food. As you can see here Claire loves watermelon! My kids cant get enough fruit and I confess neither can I. We love the farmers market. We are all very regular! (TMI)

Haley's favorite past time is playing ball with dad in the backyard. She'll be just like me and be the son her father never had. I have to say she is really good. She has hit the ball over the house a few times. I think I'm gonna put her in T-ball.

Ben took us to his secret beach spot. It was a beautiful day. There were tons of dolphins and the beach was practically empty. Near the end it got a little windy, Ben's girls cant be cold so he dug a big hole, took my blanket for them to lay on and got an umbrella to stop the wind and shade their delicate eyes.....I just sat there shivering!!

I enjoyed the trip because I got to sit back and relax while Ben entertained the girls. The only low point is when I went to sit down by the water and a bunch of people came running and tried to roll me back into the ocean!! They all kept yelling something about save the beached whale!!

Don't Get Too Excited!

It is just Holly, the best sister ever... with permission to be on Melissa's blog this time. So Melis said I could spruce up her blog a little and while I was at it I thought maybe I would post something so people can comment on her blog again. I think we shall entertain Melissa as well as ourselves with some good memories of times with Melissa. Instead of writing a book for each comment I figure just a few words so that she will remember your fav memory. I will start...

menthol tissues and Melissa's crotch

Easy enough, right?

Here is another one...

Arby's, the food tray, and the trash

That will have to do. Have fun with this. I would like some creativity on this!
