Happy Easter!

I hope everyone had a great Easter. Bill flew in on Thursday and stayed until Monday. We had a great time, and great food! We had lunch at my sister's house and then enjoyed MANY egg hunts! We are having so much fun here in SC , and I am so blessed to have such wonderful family around me! Have a great week!

The lighting is horrible, but it is the only one of the entire clan!

Momma with all of her chicks!
Allie looks so tiny sitting next to her Daddy!

My sweet Mallory! Her tonsils are scheduled to come out April 29th.

Mallory cracks me up with that smile. I think Allie is about to fall asleep, and Madi is so ready to dig into her Easter candy she has hiding in her hand!

These girls are keeping me so busy. Thank God we are still in SC so my family can help me out. Allie Grace is scheduled for a VCUG next week. Madi has an appointment with a cardiologists on April 8th because the Dr heard a swooshing sound in her heart when she had a check-up and Ashlyn has an ultra-sound Friday to check on her kidney reflux, and poor Mallory has now been scheduled to remove her tonsils this month because they have almost completely closed her airway! Bill flew up last weekend, and will be coming again tomorrow. He is already in Tampa. Thank God all of my family lives within minutes. This has been one HELL of a 2 weeks! I will let you know how my babies do next week.

Update

They released Georgia to me last night, so she is at home resting! Poor baby. She is feeling much better, but not yet 100%. The Dr said she had pancreatitis. No more feeding her from the table! The girls always give her their left overs or crumbs, and over the years, I believe it was way too much for her little belly! Thank you all for your sweet comments and prayers!

On a good note- Today is Miss Allie Grace's birthday! 1 year old! Many pics to come, I promise!

Sweet Georgia

Please say a prayer for our sweet Georgia. She is in the hospital with Hemorrhagic Gastroenteritis. When I woke up this morning she was bleeding from her bottom and vomiting. I honestly thought she was dead. They are keeping her to give her meds and fluids, and I will know more in the morning.

More snow to come!

They are calling for more "wintery mix" here at my sister's house, so we broke out Georgia's sweater!
This is Andrea's front yard . She and her husband built this house with my Dad and a few of Mike's police buddies. We have pictures of my sister on the roof with her nail gun! Yes, we are night and day :)

Georgia would not look at me. I think she is a little upset about the sweater.

Have you missed me?

Well, we made it to South Carolina. We left Florida and the neighbors were swimming, and when we hit Greenville, there was the snow! The girls are having a ball visiting with the family. My Dad came to get the girls and took them to my nephews baseball practice. They came home and were covered in dirt and red dust! They also rode in the back of the truck(just down the street) with my older sister. I guess that's a Southern Thang! We are having a great time. More pictures to come. Bill is already in Tampa working, so we are enjoying some play time.

Filthy from the ball field, but having a ball with Aunt Dee!

Yes, I do let them play and get dirty! Look, NO BOWS either!

Mallory wants her hair in a pony tail everyday now! Too cute!

Belated B-day post

My baby sister Lauren, and our big sis Andrea! I love you girls and will see you Sunday! Yippee!

I have been so busy lately that I did not wish my big sister a Happy Birthday! Andrea just joined the National Guard, and I couldn't be more proud of her! She passed her physical, and is now waiting for her date to leave for 9 weeks of basic training! As you can all tell, we are like night and day! I would die out there! If I could not get my fill-ins and highlights, well, you could just say, it would be ugly. Thank God there are people out there like my sister and brother-in-law who do it for all the right reasons! I love you Andrea, and even though it will kill me not to be able to pick up the phone and call you 10 times a day, I am so glad you are doing something for you! Something that you will carry for the rest of your life! An awesome career! I love you, and thank you Michael (bro in law) for all of your support! We are proud of your both!

Also, Happy Birthday to my beautiful sister in law, Nicole!

MIA

This has been my life for the past week! I am packing for our move to Tampa. I am going to SC this Saturday to spend a few weeks with the family until Bill is finished traveling, and then we will be in Tampa. I can not wait to have a little vacation with my family back home!

Can you even believe the size of this box I had to use for the BOWS! CRAZY!

This is what my dining room looks like! I am about to go insane!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Valentines Day

I hope you all had a wonderful Valentines Day! Ours was very low key, but we enjoy that every now and then! Bill got the girls pink roses, and they thought that was the coolest thing ever! Mallory carried hers around for hours, and had a fit when I tried to put them in water and cut the stems! I had a great day! I also got flowers, new sunglasses, my nails done, and a massage! The best thing about the day was that the massage was free! Yes, a free massage when you get a fill-in. It was awesome! Hope you ladies have a great week!

It is a bed, just not mine!

At least someone is getting some use out of Georgia's bed! Allie loves to sit here.

Wordless Wednesday

Madi and Mallory, last summer, right before getting their teeth cleaned! Don't they looked thrilled!

Madi giving Allie Grace her first kiss from her big sister!

Poor puppy!

Now I know where to look when I can't find Georgia... Madi's room! That poor dog does not stand a chance in a house with 4 girls!

This cold in FL??

I can not believe how cold it has been here! This is Florida people! I know, either I am too hot, or I am complaining that it is too cold!

To all of you wonderful ladies that have given me awards, I am working on a post to thank each and every one of you! The bug has been through my entire house, and I am proud to say we are all healthy now! Madi got sick inside the toy box, and then in the bathtub, and the same night wet her bed (for the first time ever), and Allie got sick in her crib! All in the same day! Lovely week here, let me tell ya! BUT- I am back to blogging daily~pinkie swear!

Bug in my house!

Well, it started at 7:40 am Thursday, and it lasted until this morning at about 2 am! Allie Grace has had the worst stomach flu ever! All we could do was give her 2 ounces of fluid at a time, and she still didn't keep that down! Thank God she is resting now, and seems to be on her way to recovery. This all started on our drive home from SC. 10 hrs in the car and probably 10 stops later, 10 outfits, and in her second car seat(I had to switch the girls around because hers was so soaked from throwing up), she finally fell asleep. She looked pretty comfy in Mallory's car seat too! Luckily we were close to FL and she did not have to stay in it long. What a nightmare of a drive! I am so glad to be safe at home!
...and on a happy note, guess who got her first set of pigtails? Mallory was so excited, and now she wants them every day!

Wordlesss Wednesday

Gone,gone,gone! I am at my moms in SC and had my hair chopped off! Please ignore my awful frown lines, it has been a rough month;)

last week...

Hey there ladies! I am sorry I have been MIA, but I had to travel to Atlanta to watch my niece and nephews. I had 6 kids and 2 dogs from Wednesday to Friday. The kids were great, but the dogs nearly drove me to drink, and drink heavily. Neither dog has been fixed, and one is a boy and my Yorkie is a girl! Crazy days! These sweet little girls had a ball together! Ava, my niece is on the left, and of course you all know Madi on the right.

Not only did I have six kids, but before I left Florida, I wrecked my car(we are fine, but my car is not), I found out Mallory, my 2 yr old, has to have surgery to remove her tonsils because they are so enlarged and she has developed sleep apnea, and I found out we are moving to Tampa March 1! My husband has been in Tampa for 3 weeks now coming home on Fri and leaving on Sun.so, at least now, I will not be a single mom anymore! Wow, this last month has been insane! I am ready for a vacation! I love my kids, but I need a kid free vacation! I can not wait to catch up on all my favorite blogs tonight!

Baby Booty

It might be because I am a Mommy to all girls, but there is nothing cuter than a little girls booty! Especially when she has on her sweet bloomers!

Poor little girl, you got that "booty" from your Mommy! My dress wont go over mine either sweetie!

Allie Grace

This is about as close as we are going to get to any Snowman! Thank you Heather for the adorable outfit! I sure do miss our friends back home in Charlotte! We love our Sule girls! Check her out, she has 4 girls too!

Miss Allie Grace

10 months

Sisters

Madi is turning into such a great big sister! She loves to make Allie Grace laugh. I caught this moment yesterday morning before church.

I am starting my own blog mommy!

I have created monsters! Notice the little lap tops on the table?

Clothes

OMG- Ashlyn would say/text! Have you ladies seen the new Kelly's Kids catalog? I seriously need to become a rep so I can get the 40% off discount! Having 4 girls, this little addiction I have with the girls clothes can get really expensive. Maybe that is why my husband took my AMEX away from me! Poor me, he put me on restrictions! Oh well, check it out! The seersucker bathing suits are to die for! I will be purchasing those, not on my AMEX!

Do you think Mallory is taking after her big sister! I asked her to smile and this is what I got!

Happy New Year!

Guess who made it to midnight? We barely made it. We were baking brownies at 11:30, and then jumped in the car to go see the AWESOME fireworks downtown. It was the last snowfall of the year, and we had a ball! It was so sweet to ring it in with Ashlyn. As you can see below, Georgia and Bill were asleep on the couch, and Madi , Allie Grace and Mallory were also out cold! As you can see by my picture, I was ready for bed, but I really enjoyed the one on one time with Ashlyn. I hope you all had a great New Year!

See the snow falling?
