Well my little girl is nearly 4 months old and she is so dang pretty! I lover her so much and she is so easy and reminds me what it was like to have a singelton! So much different and so much easier then triplets! I forgot how easy 1 baby was!

ok, so updates.....

We went on a week long vacation to the Beach. BEST Vacation we have EVERY had. SO perfect, so relaxing, SO much fun! The kids CRIED when we pulled up in our driveway and said they wanted to go back to our other home, the good Lord knows I wish I could afford that for them. The place we stayed at I think was bigger then our home! Arent you all so proud of me for FINALLY ADDING SOME PHOTO'S?? It is 11pm so I only added a few below, maybe I will add some more soon to the photo section!!

Thalia is about to enter 1st grade, she is 6 years old and just lost her 1st front tooth. She was so excited that she cried! She is in Girl Scouts (which now I have joined as well, WHO WOULD  HAVE THOUGHT! BROOKE IN GIRL SCOUTS! LOL but I LOVE IT!). She is 1 busy girl and I have noticed that the busier I keep her the better she is, so I am thinking that A.D.D dx I got a year or so ago is prob. right, oh well, no meds for her!

Olivia is having her tonsils out on 7/23 and has to stay overnight, this is stressing me out big time. I worry about my little girl, but I am praying this will make her a happier child. She has a hard time getting that REM sleep because just like Thalia she cant breath very well! We did swim classes for her and she loves the thought of swimming but once actually in the pool, well she has to wear a float the entire time! She is so so cute though.

Elijah is just as hard headed as Thalia and is trying me constantly. Nothing really new with him except that he loves to pee in a bush, what a boy! He LOVES swimming and while on vacation decided he loved the ocean, (JUST like Thalia!). HE is like his daddy as well and is a fish in the water! Swims GREAT!

Nadia is my sweet pea and is so much like Thalia was at 3 years old. She loves to dance and play. I swear that Nadia and Thalia are joined somewhere around the hip. They eat together play together and well do everything possible together. Have to have the same plate colors even!  Nadia is doing great!

Isabella is a sweetpea. The kids LOVE her and have not 1 time shown any type of jealousy yet! She fits in just perfect. She is 3 1/2 months old and about 11 pounds. She has rolls where you wouldnt think rolls could happen! She is exclusively Breastfed and reminds me of the 1 on 1 I had that was so dear to me with Thalia. If all of my kids were as easy as her I think I could have a few more!

Wally and I are doing fine. He wants to look into other career options. He is construction and with the economy so bad he is afraid of losing his job, so he is prob. going to go back to school. I am so very proud of him! I am back to working out FINALLY and maybe 1 day I will get the other 20 pounds off! I gained 53 while preg. with Isabella and just today the scale showed 144, so I only have about 20 pounds left, but about 6 sizes to go down!!! I hope by this time next year I will be worthy of wearing some type of bathing suit that I didnt get from my GRANDMA!!!
