Prepare to be updated with TONS, & Tons of Pictures...

 These were a few pictures that I have been meaning to get posted for a while but well there are plenty of interruptions these days so posting has become limited between juggling 3 kiddos!!!

 I have never had any one other than Arthur there when I have delivered my kids so having my sister fly out turned out to be such a hidden blessing and adventure! She played mom to Addy and Rohnin while I was in the hospital...and my kids and their Aunt CC fell in love with each other..."My sister came down one last time before flying home on early Sunday morning and told me that every day Addy would compliment her and how my children just showered her with love and affection, she and Addy shared some tears the evening before she went home...

 I was not able to hold Abram for several hours after my c-section because I could not stop shaking, due to the heavy meds...So Kacey and Art had the honor of keeping this little guy happy until I was able...

 This is one of my dear friends Kara who came almost every day, for several hours, to the hospital to keep me company and take pictures of Abram!

 Both of these lovely ladies just LOVE babies!!!

 Abram tends to spit up a bunch but the day after coming home from the hospital we had to go to the pediatrician to test his jaundice level and get Addy's physical and tetnis shots, which might I add went terribly wrong, mainly because Addy did NOT want those lovely shots, not that I blame her, and well put up an amazing fight NO ONE could have predicted...good thing my mom was there, she handled Addy and I handled Abram until I literally had to yank her into an empty room and have a heart to heart, which amazingly worked and she went back to her normal self...

 catching some needed rays!!!

 Addy is in love with Abram and tells us she is going to marry him when she grows up!!!

 Rohn is pretty sweet with him as well!! Thank heavens!

 Addy LOVES taking pictures!

 One night Rohn was having a rough night and came out, saw these rice cakes and sat down on the floor and just started eating, for a good 10 minutes...he was a little under the weather...but just needed some food apparently!

 I feel bad I took pictures for my mom while she was here for 12 days but didn't get any with her in them...kind of mad at myself for that one...BUT boy it was SOOO wonderful having her here, she is such an amazing help and I really was blessed to have her while I was recovering!

 Then the morning my mom left my in-laws payed us a visit bringing us our New Mini Van, or as Addy calls it our Mini Car...

 Rohn wearing grandma's, I mean grandpa's shoe around, he kind of had a habit of calling Rick grandma, we worked on that one, lol!

 We also took the kids swimming for the first time over at our sweet neighbors house! Rohn is well fearless in the water and we have finally found a life vest that works, for the most part...He stayed on the steps this first go around, but the next trip was not so pleasant he kept rolling around in the water smiling up big gulps of water so this little outfit was NOT the best "life" preserver for him...

 Abrams first bath, which he and dad enjoyed!

 Addy had a rehearsal the night before Rick and Peggy Flew back so they got to see a glimpse of Addy's dance recital!

 A couple of last shots with the grandparents before they headed back home...

 The next night was the first"Official" day we had together without help or family, it went pretty well we only forgot Addy's ballet slipper, which Art sped off to retrieve! She looks soo grown up...

 One of Addy's preschool graduations...

 this one got a little out of place, but I caught this "moment" with Addy reading to Abram it was too sweet to pass up, she just adores him!

 She just loves Mrs. Nickie, she was such a wonderful teacher to Addison these last two years and she even paid me a sweet visit while I was in the hospital, which was such a nice treat for me!

 They were both being pretty sweet and I LOVE these pictures! Rohnin just Adores Addy!

 Arts Sweet Aunt Pam made this cute blanket for Abram and we just wanted to say thank you!

 For mothers day I decided to make my own corsage with the many different flowers we have in bloom in our yard, it smelled sooo wonderful! It was surprisingly pretty easy and only took about 20 minutes to make right before going to church for the first time in a month!

 My adorable children all dressed up!!!

 Addy was crying in this one, poor thing was soo heart broken on her last day of pre-school she keeps asking if she can go visit Mrs. Nickie...

 This was Mrs. Sarah the program director for FBC or First Baptist Preschool, she was sooo incredibly sweet

 Rohnin loves the teachers too!!!

 I love the faces in this even though it is a cruddy picture...

 Rohnin is pretty pleased to be "pretending to play one of dads games with him in Abrams chair!

 This was one of our very first boating trips and boy it was such a nice day!

 These two gorgeous gals, Leslie and Andrea, just moved away this week, so we had one last girls night out just for them, we are going to miss them, Thank you for your friendship and I really do wish you both the best of luck with the adventures that await you both!

 Awe the shaving cream, Dad LOVES doing this and so do they, can ya tell!

 Yep he is such a sweet little guy, he really only cry's when he is hungry or gassy...

 Today was Addy's graduation at Children's Corner, they had a cute little ceremony for the kids! Rohnin was a bit of a handful today his face is evidence in this first shot!

 The food set up was pretty cute too, I loved some of the ideas they had and had to get a shot of the cute decor!

 Abram slept for the most part, sweet little guy, can you believe he is 6 weeks today where has the time gone!

 Afterwards they had the kids go out and make bubble snakes, which was super neat and then ride their bikes around for a while, they had a blast!

 All in all Addy had such a wonderful year with both of her preschool teachers and has been praised by them both on how smart Addy is and how well she is going to do in kindergarten!

There I am caught up now and am not sure when I will gain a moment or the energy to post again so I hope you enjoy these pictures and have a wonderful remainder of the month!
