Seth and his penguin named Duck...

This picture really has nothing do with the title and i downloaded it wronf.. I meant to download it so that it was the last picture... But Bekah has finally gone pee-pee in the potty chair... YAY!!!!

Okay now onto "Seth aka Sepie and his penguin named Duck".... Seth has a penguin that he used to call duck fo who knows what reason, but now he knows it is a penguin and his name happens to still be duck or Duckie... anyway Bobby and I got the penguin last August when we went to the coast for a belated anniversary trip... we initally gave it to Bekah and the boys all got a shark, but within the past six months Seth has claimed penguin known as Duck to be his own... He sleeps with it every night and plays with it every day... when i get them up from bed he hands me Duck and says "Hi Duck!" so i say "hi Duck!".... at bedtime he asks me to give Duck a kiss. so it is really his favorite toy... I have seen him brusch Ducks teeth, show him pictures in a book, read to him, and play peek a boo with him... he also will tuck duck into bed... if i tell him to go put duck on his bed if we are getting ready to go out, he will go put him on his bed cover him completely up and say "shhh... night night duckie" ... and recently he has started to teach Duck to pray...

Here he is teaching duck to pray... he tries to put Ducks wings together but they only go as far as his eyes... but he still prays...

showing me Duck!

Duck is still praying... he is a Christian duck... :)

and we dont allow toys at the table when we are getting ready to eat, but in this picture, he snuck Duck in to sit and pray before breakfast and "eat"....

I did let Duck stay there while we prayed because he did sit so still and was very quiet, but when i handed out the food i told seth that duck was going to wait for him in the living room while he ate so that duck didnt get any food dropped in him... he hasnt really tried to bring duck back to to the table, but last week he did try to take duck with him when we were going to go to the store, we told him that Duck needed to stay home because we didnt want to lose him and he was very good about putting him back to bed...

we havent had a very busy past couple of weeks... or rather eventful.. we did go this past weekend to a parenting seminar at our church... it was very helpful and we ar very glad we went... we spent the night at my moms house on friday night so that we could be there on time, although the babies didnt sleep good during the night... they coughed and were just not used to it... when they would hear a train.. they would sit up and say Choo choo train... but not happily they werent excited they were scared of it... they sleep there every sunday afternoon, but i guess overnight is completely different experience for them...

well thats pretty much it...

Honoring Opie..

This past Tuesday night, Bobby's grandfather Nolan Specht aka Opie passed away. When Bobby was younger he would spend his days at Opie's house helping him with his animals, and when he got older they hunted together... Bobby told me yesterday he shot his first buck with one of Opie's guns. Bobby has some wonderful memories of Opie while he was growing up. When Bobby and I got married I got to know Opie. Thankfully the babies did get to see Opie too.. Opie seemed to really like the quads. Although he never really gave praise to your face we had heard that he thought the babies were very good... He will be missed!

Well I hope you enjoyed this picture journey... Im sorry that i got some pictures all mixed up but you get the idea... Bobby has been so much help to me with the babies... He helps in every way.. Changing diapers, fixing food, but i think his favorite job is keeping them entertained with rides on his back... He is such a wonderful daddy to these babies. I am so Blessed to have him as a husband... I look forward to many MANY more birthdays!!!! Happy Birthday Bobby.. I love you!

walking...

Well we were very excited to learn that the March of Dimes is having a walk here in the San Antonio area on May 16... We do enjoy walking and but it seems this walk is particularly special... We got a call last week from Carolyn our Premiere Care tester stating that the Premiere Care group is organizing their own team of walkers and that we could join in on their team.. the exciting news is though that they are making up team shirts and they are going to put the babies picture on the t-shirt... It will be one they took at the Reunion party they have in October when we dressed the quads up as the Wizard of Oz!!! It isnt this picture, but thought i would put a picture up just to remind you... arent they CUTE!!!!.. im just so excited that they get their picture on the t-shirt... Bobby and i are very excited about it and cannot wait for the walk!!! MAY 16!!!!!

random pictures...

these are just some pictures i have taken this past month... thought i'd update with a picutre post...

here is Dr. Rath with the quads... he took their first "picture"... when i had just found i was pregnant, (i was working for him), i started to spot.. he did a sono and told me that everything looked fine but that he did indeed see three sacs... he told me that they may not all have heart beats but to just be prepared for when we go to the specialist we were seeing (needless to say i was in a daze the rest of the day)... well later when we found out that we were actually having four and that they all had heart beats.. Dr Rath later told me that he did see four, but just stopped at three because he didnt want to completely scare me... so here is Dr Rath with my babies!!!
here is Monica and Vivian with Dr. Rath...

and here is his other office workers Sandi and im ashamed to admit i forgot the other lady's name but she is very sweet... I AM SO SORRY!!!!!!

here is Evan in his daddy's rubber boots... he just decieded he need to put daddy's boots on... he needed help since they are taller than daddy's regular boots...

here is Carolyn our Occuptaional therapist... this is when we were discharged from all therapy services...

i am going to miss carolyn so much.. she helped me through so much!



and here is Maria, she was the speech therapist that tested them and found that they were within normal limits and didnt qualify for therapy...

here we are at Lowe's... they love these carts... and i must say i think bobby and i love them as much as they do... bobby acts like a little boy racing down the aisle with them... bobby is really good at steering them... im not so good at it... but the quads sure have fun riding in them!!!

here is bekah... she had a static problem this week in her car.... i thought it was a cute picture!!!

this is bekah after the ATTACK OF THE THIN MINT!!!! Bekah scraped by but she ate the competition!!! this is after just ONE cookie...

here are the babies this past monday.... my mom and i found some cups at target for a dollar and i thought they were cute and it would give them practice with an open cup... they did pretty good... for not having practiced with an open cup in a couple weeks... we gave them the cups as part as their valentines gift...

here is bekah and evan...

and here is seth and austin...

evan drinking from his open cup...

and this picture is from this morning... we had cereal for breakfast and we use these bowls that suction to the table... i have a posted a picture of them after eating cereal before... welll i was cleaning up evan and bekah and seth decieded he wanted to help and was pulling at the bowl and before i realized it and before he did too.. the bowl came up and....

well this is what happened... he had milk on him but thankfully he didnt get drenched... just a little soaked! thankfully austin was so absored with his cereal he didnt see what happened or else i think he may have tried to get his bowl up too...
