Good to be back!

So it's been about 7 months since we've had our normal evening rough-housing with Tim & the kids. Between all his hospitalizations & pains & surgery, etc. it's been hard for him to be down on the floor & playing with the kids.
Needless to say the kids have missed it tremendously.
This week Tim has been feeling so much better & has his regular energy level back.
Ella hasn't been in on this rough-housing before, but she was all up into it today!
Here she backed her way onto his lap while he's trying to get the older kids.

Then while they had him pinned down, Ella climbed right on top of him.
And she started poking him in his mouth & nose & ears. It was hilarious!

At this point she just walked right up to him, lifted his shirt & started tickling his belly.


After alot of that she was tuckered out & had to take a break. Too cute, I could just eat her up!


While she was just hanging out she noticed the camera & started giving me her cheesy smile. Man that girl has a lot of teeth!


Ella carried Tim's shoes & her shoes & put them together. I thought this picture was just adorable.


Here I'm telling Ella she has to sit in the chair, not on the arm of it, so she's giving me her pouty face.
Savannah was one happy/contented girl to have Daddy back to his normal playful self!

All in all we had a great "normal" evening. Which hasn't been normal lately. The play was followed up by banana pudding & watching Wipeout together.
Praise the Lord.
I just love my husband and he's such a great father! I am so blessed with this wonderful house full!

7 month olds aren't supposed to be this mobile....are they?

Gwen is 7 months old. And she has been learning things in leaps and bounds! She can crawl anywhere. She pulls herself up on chairs, people, couches....and then can walk along them. Now if we could just get her a tooth or two! Oh and speaking of which, she loves to eat, baby food AND real food. She loves to feed herself. She downed a banana muffin the other day in no time!  I remember when the things on the coffee table were safe until they were like 10 months old! Sheesh. Well, at least she keeps me from slacking on picking up the house and vacuuming!

Family Memories

Image
It's totally weird & unexpected, but the 4 day vacation up to Show Low was one of our best vacations ever! Even Tim said that was true for him. It was nothing spectacular, just good, clean fun! Relaxing, yet not boring. Fun, yet not busy. And the kids all behaved & got along...maybe that's what made it awesome! Plus the fact that we hadn't done too much as a family for a year due to Tim's hospitalizations, sicknesses & lack of vacation time left. We went to a very fancy restaurant. Savannah had been learning in school about etiquette in a place like this, so she was able to practice it & keep the boys in line. This place also had a live band out back, so afterwards we went out there & sat around the fire and danced a little. We all played frisbee golf. Tim grilled our dinners while I sat on the porch & read. The kids played games outside. Tim joined them in several hide-and-go-seek games, which they thought was cool. He did some pretty impressi...

Have you heard of the POGO pass?!

I've decided to do a little "review" of the POGO pass. On the website it says that the "pogo pass is a membership that provides you 12 months of FREE access to the best entertainment venues in Phoenix".   Maybe you've heard of it, but wasn't sure what it was exactly. Or if it was worth it. Or you're wondering if it would make a good Christmas gift. Well hopefully this will help you figure all that out. We decided to purchase the POGO pass in February of this year and try to only do those things for our family entertainment throughout the year. Keep in mind we are a family of 7, so it's costly to do pretty much anything! Before I get into the details, I will admit that it is WAY more fun when your friends have POGO passes too and you can do things with a few other people. Everything's better with friends! So in no certain order I'll quickly cover what we did, and then how much it WOULD HAVE cost us. Keeping in mind we only bought ...
