Eliza is going to preschool every Tuesday and Thursday am. She seems to like it when we get there, but does some whining about leaving home. I think she's afraid she's going to miss out on something fun. </div>

We finally moved her out of her toddler bed and into a big girl bed. I refinished this solid Jenny Lind bed that we got off Craigslist. The woman who we bought it from had it as a child and it was her Aunt's before that...so I'm guessing this thing is an antique. Too bad I "ruined"" it with my paint job. I love how it turned out, however!<br />

Grady is ornerier than ever. He's becoming quite a handful. He loves to wreck things and wreak havoc on everything that is orderly and serene. I couldn't love him any more though!<br />

She just got picked to be the TOP CAT of her class (voted by her peers) and will belong to a small group of kiddos who exhibit leadership qualities. Not sure exactly what that means, but she was STOKED when she came home from school today. Her face was on the main bulletin board as well!!!<br />

This is a funny little note I found on her door the other day... guess she's getting tired of Eliza and her friends going into her room and playing with her stuff while she's at school. The funny thing is that none of them can read...so she wasted the lead in her pencil! :)<br />

Summer is coming to a close...<br />
<br />
My little people and I made a bucket list that was full of a grandiose activities...and small ones too. We accomplished a lot. We didn't do a few. Guess we'll have to put them on next summer's bucket list.<br />
<br />
Some highlights this summer include:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Zoo trips</li>
<li>yogurtini trips</li>
<li>Slip 'n Slide</li>
<li>Water balloon fight</li>
<li>sleepovers</li>
<li>Lemonade stand (A made enough money to finally get her AG doll)</li>
<li>mini golf</li>
<li>made a fort (actually a real one). I'll show you our improved playset when it's all done!</li>
<li>swim lessons</li>
<li>bowling</li>
<li>fireworks</li>
<li>fishing</li>
<li>Music in the Park (BS has a fun band every Sunday night)</li>
<div>
and our favorite summer activity...</div>
<ul>
<li>COLORADO- where we went rafting, horseback riding, camping, hiking, & mountain biking</li>
</ul>

We had a fabulous time in CO!</div>

Next summer, we will have to visit the BlueBerry patch, go to the Omaha zoo, and Shatto Dairy farm. Those were on the list, but never worked out. We planned on going to a movie too, but G-man would be a maniac in the theatre, so get'r done next summer as well.<br />
<br />
School starts next week. Addie just got her teacher's name and saw her class list. Mrs. Leiker is her name and her good friend Maddy is in her class for the third year in a row! She's estatic!<br />
<br />
Until next time...whenever that might be!</div>

So many things consume me and pull me in different directions, I can't even think about them without hyperventilating.<br />
<br />
G just finished nursing...his idea. It was sooner than I had anticipated. I wanted it to be on my terms. I was hoping he would change his mind and come back to the boobie. But, no such luck. I think my hormones are out of whack now. I'm super irritable and feeling inadequate in every area of my life.<br />
<br />
I'm pretty much a failure at managing the home, teaching my children, and working my business. I'm trying to fix up our home doing various projects and it's all starting to wear me down. It also appears that I'm going to miss the Leadership to Dominican Republic by ONE recruit! How sad is that?! Sometimes, it stinks to try really hard for something and not get it. :(<br />
<br />
This blog used to be a source of stress relief for me so I'm trying to get my groove back and get into the habit of blogging more often. There's been too many changes to document, so I'll stick to the TOP 10:<br />
<br />
1. Addie turned SIX! She had a rainbow party, invited 4 friends to go to CoCo Keys and spend the night.<br />
<br />

3. We celebrated Easter with family and friends. The kids loved hunting for eggs...but the sweetest thing to hear is when Eliza says, "The angel said that Jesus isn't here (in the tomb)!" after hearing about his resurrection in church.<br />

Addie enjoyed spring break from school. She spent some time reading to her brother one morning. Looks like he did some reading of his own too!<br />

10. The two bathrooms upstairs have been under construction as my dad and I have been redoing the floors. I'll post final pics soon. But don't know that I took before shots!!! Darn!<br />
<br />
This last picture is funny. Grady reminded me of that one puppy in 101 Dalmations that keeps standing up in front of the TV and all his siblings tell him to get down. Was that Lucky?<br />

Our little boy is such a joy! Oh, how we <i>love</i> him!<br />
<br />
We celebrated with just a small family party on Sunday. Grady didn't really give us a big show when eating his cake. He ate an entire piece of pizza and a pear, so I don't think he was hungry.<br />

Micah and the girls tried to show him how to snarf down cake with no hands, but he wasn't impressed. So the cake eating was a bit of a let down.<br />

Little G is a bit more laid back than his sisters were at his age. But, I can't say that I mind. I'm soaking up his milestones as I know how quickly I will forget them!<br />
<br />
One year milestones:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>crawls and cruises</li>
<li>takes one to two steps and stands alone.</li>
<li>loves to dance to music/singing</li>
<li>does a traditional crawl unless something is in his hand, then he has a funky lopsided crawl</li>
<li>says dada, hi and "uh-oh"</li>
<li>plays with the dog dish water every chance he can get</li>
<li>Loves baths and comes crawling when tub turns on</li>
<li>does not typically sleep through the night anymore, but surprises mommy from time to time with a full night of sleep</li>
<li>has started drinking cow's milk without a fuss</li>
<li>still nurses three to four times a day</li>
<li>NO TEETH...yet</li>
<li>loves to "walk" while hands are held</li>
<li>climbs stairs well</li>
<li>Rarely complains...he's a "go with the flow" kinda guy!</li>
</ul>

Eliza Ann finally has a handle on pooping in toilet. It's been hard to convince her that it's much easier. As a reward for her consistency, she's been enrolled in dance class. This is something she's been talking about doing for 3 months. She's over the moon about it. I loved watching her in class. She might be a natural. And Miss Tiffany thought she was hilarious---- very outgoing!<br />

One of my goals for last year was to organize the pantry. I didn't get as many house goals done as I had hoped, so I made sure this was done before the end of the year. It has to be done every year anyway, but this year, I used Thirty-One bags!<br />

Evidently, there is a limit on the amount of space one can have on blogger. I've exceeded the amount, unfortunately and haven't been able to update unless I want to pay monthly. I've been debating what to do, so I've decided I'm just going to link to a new account so from now on...my blog has moved:</div>

"Sugar and Spice and everything nice,<br />
That's what little girls are made of."<br />
<br />
That describes Eliza Ann quite well. She's just a bundle of fun...always saying funny things...with passion and energy. One minute, I can't believe how cute she is...the next minute, I'm worn out from her exasperating, independent behavior.<br />
<br />
My "Miss Middle" just turned three...and I tear up just thinking about it. She just can't be three already! How can this have happened?<br />
<br />
It seems like yesterday, she was crawling around, making "trilling sounds", and giving out the best giggles. I miss those BIG BLUE eyes and hanging jaws. I loved to kiss those cheeks.<br />
<br />
<br />
Eliza has grown into her name. She's spirited and sweet on any given moment- and I love every bit of her.<br />
<br />
We had some friends over for a small Pumpkin party last Friday for a playdate, but my camera battery was dead and my iphone was low on storage...so I have nothing to show for it. We did have a good time. The kids pinned the Heart on a skeleton and painted pumpkins. My friend Laurie took a picture of everyone's pumpkins after the party, but guess who refused to get in the picture and sat on the stairs inside?<br />
<br />
Miss Sugar and Spice...<br />

<li>She still loves BABIES!</li>
<li>She's expressive and makes friends easily.</li>
<li>E is good a sharing. She's not a push over by any means...but will usually offer toys to other children to make them happy.</li>
<li>Eliza loves to pray at dinner and she says the cutest things!</li>
<li>She often will open her Bible and pretend she is reading. She'll say "Jesus loves me for the Bible tells me so."</li>
<li>Eliza Ann is about 90% potty trained, but is still not convinced that #2 needs to be done on the toilet. She's highly opinionated about the matter actually. When we get some consistency out of her, she will get to start dance class; something she's DYING to do.</li>
<li>Eliza loves to dress up in princess dresses. She's particularly hung up on a purple velour dress (that she wore to the BS Princess Party). </li>
<li>Eliza is strongly attached to her lovey and binkie. That's going to be the next big girl change...getting rid of the binkie. She only gets it when she sleeps right now and she happens to be the best sleeper of all three of the kids, so I hate to mess her up. I'll mess her up either way, so the Binkie has to go.</li>
<li>Eliza knows many letters and their sounds...maybe close to 20. </li>

<br />
I'm busy...too busy. I can't keep up. Some days, I think I'm drowning in my responsibilities. Truly, I put myself in this position. I started selling Thirty-One to make extra money and now...it's almost too hard for me to keep up with. My kids should be my first priority, but since promoting to Director, I have a quota to keep and it's really hard to manage with three little ones. If I take a step back, however, I lose all the girls on my team and have to start over. I think I might have to look into childcare one day a week so that I can put energy into my job.<br />
<br />
<br />
Once I start thinking about doing that, however, I think, "Ummm, my job is my kids, so what am I doing?" UUhhhgggg! Decisions, Decisions.<br />
<br />
I must say, my favorite thing to do is home improvement. But to do that, I must make some money....which goes back to the PT job thing. So....here's what's going on at the house this week.<br />
<br />
I've finished the hutch but then my table looked pretty beat up. So I finished off the table as well.<br />

It used to have a stained top, but was chipped and damaged. Now it's distressed black to match my hutch. I poly'd the top so that it's more durable than the last finish. I'm not a huge fan of the shiny top, but at least I know it's protected and can withstand my children's abuse. I found out, since finishing it, that I could have used a finishing wax to get a softer sheen. I'll store that in my memory for NEXT time.<br />
<br />
I just finished painting my garage door black and putting up hooks for coats and backpacks in the garage. We don't have a mud room and I'm preparing for winter coats. I'm tired of them taking over the house...along with shoes and boots. Now we have a place to store everything!<br />
<br />
Here are some pictures of little man...he's changing so much. Still not crawling, but sooooo close. This morning, he learned how to get from a rocking to a sitting position.<br />

I'm going to work on a rolling cubby/bench for the playroom next. It shouldn't cost too much and will hopefully provide a bit more storage. I'd really like to have my entire main floor painted: ceiling, trim, and walls. But---- the estimates I'm getting are in the thousands and I don't have the money for it. Of course, I don't have the TIME to do it myself. Someday soon...It will get done...I hope.Micah and Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02258957186017333924noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21636566.post-71464635031688666162012-10-17T08:55:00.002-05:002012-10-17T10:05:48.013-05:00Princess Party<br />
We attended the annual Blue Springs Princess Party this month. The girls had a blast...as they have in years past. I only have half of the pictures because some are on Micah's phone too, but I think you can see how much fun they had...regardless!<br />

<br />
<br />
When I say that I'm going to post regularly...I sort of believe myself. But, not really. I'm sure you don't believe me at all when I say it. Life is busy...I don't know how people keep up with blogging and family responsibilities (sigh).<br />
<br />
Here's what we've been up to:<br />

My days are numbered. This boy is going to be moving soon. Seconds after I shot these pictures, he turned around and almost lunged over the arm. He's no longer content to sit and play. Guess I better get that baby gate out of storage!<br />

Addie is rockin first grade. She's excelling in all areas...from what I can tell anyway. She came home with these cool sunglasses and said she's the top Math Wiz in her class. Not sure what that means, but it sounds good. :)<br />

Eliza Ann is almost three!!! She's such a delight! We almost had her potty trained a few weeks ago, but she wasn't embracing the toilet thing when she went #2 and I couldn't handle it anymore. So, I put her back in diapers until she turns 3. I don't want it to be a negative experience...for either of us. She loves to play pretend and is the most compassionate little girl----very mindful of other's feelings.<br />

I've been keeping busy with Thirty-One...or trying to. It's one of those businesses where you can lose ground quickly if you slack off. I have three parties lined up for October, but things change and I'd really like to have more. Will have to carve out some time to get more scheduled. In the meantime, I've been working on an old hutch I got off Craig's List. I bought it for $85 and had all the paint needed, so I just updated it a bit. I spray painted the hardware too.<br />

Micah is sick of my home improvement projects...but is dealing. You'd think he'd be used to it by now. I have so many ideas and NO MONEY to do it. I've had estimates to paint my main floor and about had an anxiety attack when I hear them. I haven't seen any less than $2000. The ceiling alone is going to take somewhere from $800-$1200. I would do it myself, but don't know how I could with small children to take care of. I already do too much anyway and need to spend more time "playing" with them. There's a balance somewhere, I just haven't found it yet.<br />
<br />
Micah's "Flavor-Savor" works quite well, doesn't it?<br />

Never a dull moment with this man...<br />

Lucas is my sweet boy. You'd hardly even know he's here...except on Mon, Wednesday and Friday mornings when he whines on my bedside for me to take him for a run. I've started taking him with me and somehow, he can keep track of the days. It's very strange. He was a pain to run with at first, but we've gotten into a groove now. The only time I wish I didn't bring him is when he poops and I have to finish a lap with a bag of poop in my hand. Last week, I forgot a sack, so I had to use someone's plastic from their newspaper. I figured they would rather me use that than leave his poop in their yard. The trouble with a sack like that is that it's very narrow and I could hardly get it in there. I ended up having no handle to hold and had to carry the actual bag in the palm of my hand...all warm and squishy. Very gross. I cut that run short.<br />

I wish I could slow things down. I'm crazy busy with the kids, it's hard to find time to do much for myself.<br />
<br />
Here are some major changes that need to be recorded:<br />
<br />
Addie Sue has glasses! The Optometrist says she has an astigmatism and is Far-sighted. This is harder to catch because she doesn't have to squint to see things far away. Instead, it's hard to read books or see other objects up close. She doesn't seem to be that excited about wearing them. In fact, she's nervous about wearing them to school. I told her that she doesn't have to wear them unless she's doing schoolwork. She might feel self-conscious, but she's stinking adorable, if you ask me! ;)<br />

Addie has also started First grade. Her teacher, Mrs. Lagrasso is new to her school. I'm hoping for a great year. It's a lot quieter at home with her in school, but I miss her too!<br />

My Eliza Ann is potty trained. Well...almost. Poopy trained is a bit of a stretch. But most days she stays dry. I downloaded an app on my phone that she gets to call whether she's had a success or an accident and "Rachel" gives her a pep talk. She says, "I have to call my Rachel!"- only she says "Raaahchel".<br />

These girls are still smitten with their brother. They were all smiles the other night when I took this picture. I seriously LIVE for these moments!<br />

We made a trip to Charming Charlie's before I left for Thirty-One national conference. The girls fell in love with these Tiaras so their Memaw HAD to get them each one.<br />

Grady went with me to Atlanta for a five day Conference. We had a blast and I couldn't have asked him to be any better. He slept, and ate, where ever we went. He was loved on and kissed by many adoring ladies too! Just when I thought my arms would fall off from holding him, someone would offer to get him to sleep for me. We had so much fun! Here I am with two other ladies on my team. I promoted to director this year and got a beautiful leather and black corduroy Cindy tote.<br />

Since turning six months old, Grady has experienced the joy of solid foods! Boy, does he LOVE it! He eats up the amount of food in one setting that it took his sisters three meals to eat!<br />

I will say that I was hoping to celebrate our anniversary on a beautiful sandy beach at an all-inclusive resort. But- having a new baby definitely changes things and we had to postpone our celebratory trip.<br />
<br />
<br />
I wouldn't change things though. Our children have been the biggest blessing to us (and headache----ironically).<br />
<br />
We ended up going to the New Theatre to see HairSpray. This was the place we went for our first date. We had a great time while Aunt Debbie watched our kids! Can't complain about that!<br />
<br />
As a gift to us, since we couldn't go anywhere exotic, we bought a bedroom set for our room. It's been ten years after all! I've been working hard painting our bedroom and bathroom and I LOVE it. I can't wait to show you the transformation...once I clear all the clutter.Micah and Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02258957186017333924noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21636566.post-55783186194801920552012-07-06T10:07:00.006-05:002012-07-06T10:07:57.883-05:00Five Months<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: white;">Mr. Samuel Grady is five months old. He's around 17 pounds (give or take a few ounces). Grady is playing in the exersaucer and sits with support. He's so close to rolling from his back to his belly, but hasn't closed the deal yet. He generally sleeps through the night, however, he occasionally rolls on to his back and flails his arms and legs around like a turtle on its shell. I have to go in at night sometimes and help him roll back over. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">More than ever, he's our happy little guy. </span><br />

To say that we adore this boy is a bit of an understatement. Seriously...the entire family is SMITTEN over this baby. He's so used to kisses and hugs, he doesn't even protest.

We spent the day doing what Daddy wanted on Sunday. We started off the day bearing gifts to him in bed. The kids all slept in, so that was a gift in itself. Everyone cuddled and snuggled close to him while he read the cards the girls made him.<br />

We also made him a frame with the three pictures above in order. Daddy will be getting a new grill as well. The highlight of the day, however, was when Micah and Addie went for a long bike ride on Little Blue Trail. I wanted to go, but the two little ones needed naps. Maybe soon we'll all get to go.<br />

Micah is an excellent daddy. He loves on those girls and wants only the best for them. He will protect them and teach them how to act as young ladies. He takes his role as a dad seriously. As far as little boy goes, he's wonderful at getting him to sleep and soothes him easily. I'm looking forward to seeing the two of them enjoy "boy" time as Grady gets older.<br />
<br />
I'm so grateful we were able to celebrate Daddy!<br />
<br />
I'm so thankful for my own dad as well. What a lucky girl I am to have him in my life. He's always made sure I know I'm loved and tells me I'm beautiful.

On the spur of the moment, I took Eliza to get her hair cut. It was getting long and she wasn't too happy about having me put it up. She was pulling her hair out at nap time and breaking it off, so I figured now was the time to bob it. It's adorable!</div>

We are still waiting to get pictures from the photographer. They didn't seem very organized so I'll be surprised if we ever get them. I must say that the recital itself was a bit painful to watch. Addie performed second in the program, so it was a bit long for us all (esp. poor Grady). I wasn't all that impressed with the big girls who danced either. I'm trying to not be critical, but they were not sharp or together at all. I expected performances to be more polished. I'm suddenly thinking of all the dance recitals I was in and wondering how it was for my parents to watch the entire 2 to 3 hour gig. YIKES! At least Addie had fun and she really shined!!!<br /><br />

Grady is almost ready to roll from back to belly. He goes from side to side. He's really good at getting toys in his mouth too. He grabs his toes and plays with them constantly. It's only a matter of time before they'll be in his mouth too!</div>

I've discovered that he LOVES to go up in the air and giggles on his way down. </div>

I got lucky and both Grady and Eliza are sleeping at the same time. I don't know how long that will last, but I'll enjoy it nonetheless.<br />
<br />
I thought I'd use this time to update the blog...it's been a month after all. I don't have anything profound to say. But life is busy so I'd be lying if I said I had nothing to write about.<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Starting with Grady...he's the one who is changing the fastest. Our little man is now staring at his hands, batting at toys, and holding on to things with a death grip. He's also begun sleeping through the night....for now. Things can change but I'll take it.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Next up, Eliza. She's going through a phase...I hope. There's a lot of crying with her and confusion about what she wants. I think I'm going to have recheck the LOVE and LOGIC for Preschoolers again. It came in handy with Addison when she was a toddler. I'm suspecting Eliza is no worse...I just don't have as much time and energy to devote to her. </li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Addison is almost done with her first year of Kindergarten. She's a quick learner and I've had no issues with her. I am amazed at her ability to read and write. She's so good at her math facts too. In fact, I've been a bit of slacker as of late and not even bothered with the math fact cards. She seems to do well without practice so it seems like a waste of her time. She'd rather go outside and play!</li>
</ul>

Now that spring has sprung, I'm anxious to get outside and do some home improvements. I've already got a page long list of projects that I hope to get around to this year. The only thing stopping me is: money, time, kids, and my husband <i>who is likely to leave me if I push him to help with them</i>. Just kidding...I hope!</div>

PS...I have made a habit out of taking pictures with my iphone instead of the camera. Now, I don't know how to get them off icloud to my blogspot. That is why the pics are so few. I'll hopefully figure it out soon!</div>Micah and Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02258957186017333924noreply@blogger.com0
