moving!

NO!! we arent moving.. Amelia has moved from bobby's and my room to bekah's room which has been called the girls room for awhile.. we did have the boys rotate sleeping in there so that bekah could have a Friend, but now we are officially separated into boys and girls!

here is the boys room.. a friend of my dads gave us this bunk bed.. we dont have the top bunk up yet, because they are still only four and we think not quite ready for a top bunk! so we have a mattress that slides under the bottom bunk and then the other bed on the other side of the room.. they love it!

and the girls room.. bekah has done very well adjusting to having Mia in her room.. we talked to her about Mia moving into the girls room for a week before we moved her in there so she was just as excited to her in there as the boys were to be together in their room..

i wasnt able to get a picture of Mia in our room her last night.. (just didnt think of it till bobby had the crib apart and moving it out) but now that i think on it, not sure that you would be able to tell it was our room anyway!

everyone seems to be doing well.. and now that it is officially Mia's room too, she does go in there more than she was, so i think she really likes it! she does walk into our room and look at the wall that her bed used to be on and look a little confused, but then walks off. now bobby and i have all this extra space in our room and we dont know what to do with it!

we are getting ready to celebrate!! my brother and his family are coming down on wednesday and staying for a few days!! so excited! the quads have been thinking they were coming for the last two weeks! now they really are!! so planning on getting as much time with them as possible!

also we are celebrating Amelia's birthday on Saturday!!! so we are pretty busy over here getting the house ready for all the party people!! working on party stuff and just getting excited myself!

the quads are definitely ready for the party! they have been anticipating it for the last two weeks! thought last week that my brother and his family were coming.. so they are very excited that my family and the party are this week!

well time for me to go make some lists!!! till next time!!

My Mia is ONE!!!

today is Amelia's birthday! She is ONE year old!! i cannot believe the time has gone by that fast. She definately looks like a one year old, but it doesnt seem like a WHOLE year went by.. maybe six months, NOT a year!!!! well we went early this morning for pictures and got some cute pics.. we were the first appointment so that was nice, although after the first picture she started to anticipate the flash and would squint her eyes! THANKFULLY my mom went with me to the appointment! she is such a blessing to me!

anyway here are the pics:

well thats my BABY! my big, little ONE year old! we are planning on having some cupcakes i made last night to celebrate her birth! well better get to work on her video some more!!

family! fun! and spoons?!

ugh! i did it again.. i loaded the pictures backwards so you see the end result first! anyway my uncle andy, aunt dora and my cousins have been down this past week and we have had a few tournaments.. tonight is actually supposed to be a horse shoe tournament! but this past weekend we went to my sisters house on friday and had day one of a spoons tourney!

i won the first and second round and my dad won the final round!

here is my dad with his winnings!! lucky guy!

we had a rule that if you grabbed the first spoon but you had more than seven cards you were out.. so here is my dad the winner after andy (who grabbed the final spoon) had EIGHT cards!

andy was so sly when he would grab the spoons.. so quietly but swiftly! He is really good! anyway here he is after he grabbed the spoon but realizing that he had the eight cards!

here i am after winning the second game. the first game we didnt play for money the first round, or else i might have doubled. but am just glad that i got some money! my winning cards!
we played again on saturday at my house.. didnt get pictures of it, but I was the big winner again! very excited! although i dont think my cousins were too happy about it!

here is my uncle andy and aunt dora with mia!

and heres a picture from sunday!
thats all folks! the plan was for a horse shoe tournament tonight, not sure if it will happen,.. bobby has to work late and my dad may also.. but my mom is the big winner in horse shoes! so i dont have a shot to begin with! we go for Amelia's ONE year pictures tomorrow, ON her ONE year!! her birthday is tomorrow.. so may have another post tomorrow! if you think of us.. please pray for us at 9am.. as we will be trying to get some good pics!

mmmm!!! the best food ever!! My Aunt Dora and Uncle Andy came down from El Paso and they brought my sister and I some Chicos Tacos!!! I was so happy and excited!!

my parents! Love them!

and a family picture! after working on Mia's video saw that we dont have many family pics so had to get a photo shoot in for her video!
well thats all.. for now! i really need to get back to preparing for Amelia's party! so many things to do..

this week...

apart from my aunts going back to their homes nothing has really happened lately.. so thought i would share some pics from this week!

Mia was hungry.. and ate her food.. then she got a bit fussy.. but since i was preparing dinner and bobby had just gotten home and was cleaning up.. she fell asleep in her high chair..

here is bobby with amelia. he was dancing with her and i wanted to get video of it, but every time i would get the camera up he would stop and smile.. i told him i wanted to get video of it and he said he knew.. i guess i have to be more inconspicuous...

here is amelia in a dress she got from my mom at her baby shower...

and my girls.. getting ready to go to church!!!

anyway we have had a pretty good week so far! have some family coming in this Sunday!! so yay!! will get some pics of them with the kiddos!
