Party Pictures

Thomas birthday party was a great time! Thank you everyone for coming and joining in in our celebration for Thomas.

His Tractor cake!

Thomas was a little unsure of everyone singing Happy Birthday!

But he still didn't have a problem digging into the cake

That cake was gone in no time!

Princess Noa the cleaning fairy! Noa you can come over anytime and clean girl friend!

I wish I had gotten more pictures of all the kids. Like Issac laying on his belly looking like he was swimming and Ansley trying to crawl and the kids playing with Gracie's T-Ball set and Harrison sweet smile! Thank you again everyone for being part of our lives!

Wow.. This is the best thing since slice bread!

Guess Who enjoyed his Birthday Cake!

No problem putting the whole thing in at one time!

Happy Birthday Thomas!

My baby boy is ONE! I can't believe it... This is so exciting but at the same time emotional for me! ( I guess it is a mom thing) They are growing up way to fast. Thomas is the most cuddly mommas boy. He is by far more cuddly then Gracie ever was or is and he is a mommas boy to the "T". I love going in in the mornings to get him out of his crib. He first gives you the biggest smile like he hasn't seen you in ages then hands you his pacifier then stretches his arms way out of you to pick him up for a hug and kiss. So Happy Birthday to my baby boy!!! I love you to the moon and back....

Well I must say camping was a huge success! The kids loved it!!! After a long week away from reality I was ready to come home but Gracie was not at all. She cried when we told her it was time to pack everything up and go back home. It was so nice to be away from home for a while and not have any phone service to interrupt our family time. The kids slept in the same room and it worked out wonderfully! Gracie even learned to sleep in a big girl bed and never once tried to get out. Time for the switch at home!  I feel like alot has happened with Thomas while we were away. He has learned how to climb. And when I say climb I mean everything in his sight. Before we left home I caught him trying to climb the bookcase in our living room. He also has switched to whole milk and been taken off the bottle. I wasn't thinking that would happen for a while but he decided he liked the other milk better and likes having a cup like his sister. Hey I am not complaining here. Well here are a few pictures of our trip. The one picture I wish I could have gotten was Gracie and I on the tube being pulled behind the boat. She was a little nervous at first but loved it once daddy starting going.

Gracie helping herself to a little watermelon for breakfast

Why on earth would you sit in a high chair when you can stand in them!

Poor Thomas! Every time Gracie would get in the wagon she would tell Thomas to push her!

Gracie made a new friend. One she likes very very much! The 2 month old deer is giving Gracie kisses.

Gracie thought is was the funniest thing that when Thomas got hot he would crawl over to the fan and push it over and sit on it! He is one air condition baby!

Busted!

The first of many! I hope.....

Well, the Martin Family is going CAMPING!! Ha Ha! We will see how this goes! Tommy, the kids and I are borrowing Tom and Dawn's big camper and we are headed to Santee State Park next week for a week of camping. I am excited but at the same time nervous. If we have any problems I think it will only be sleeping. If one wakes up everyone will wake up! Most likely there will be a slight learning curve!!!! Despite the fact that Gracie is still sick the doctor gave us the go ahead to go on a vacation. ( Update: In case you haven't heard we found out that Gracie has Salmonella Poisoning. Today will be four weeks straight of diarrhea. We are all so over it I couldn't even begin to explain. It took the doctors 3 weeks to figure it out and that is an extremely sore subject with me. I told them from day one of the diarrhea something is wrong and this is not normal. They continued to tell me I was wrong and this is normal and nothing is wrong with her. After seeing blood and having a high fever I refused for them to tell me nothing was wrong and they needed to figure something out.... Fortunately they figured out what it is and unfortunately where is not a thing they can do about it. They can only give antibiotics if it is a certain type of salmonella. NOT SO FUN FACT: there are over 2000 types of Salmonella. As of yesterday it will be at least another 2 weeks for the Health Department to figure out which one she has. The doctor informed us yesterday that 90% of the time it will turn out to be one they can't give her anything for. So for now all we can do is pray pray pray and wait it out!
