Here is just a couple pix of Abby and Garett. I need to take a portrait of Benson and Marlee and will post them later.

Well, Here is a quick update. Marlee is 2 Weeks old now and has gained a pound. She is so healthy and sweet. She has some good loud lungs when she screams, but she has not been difficult to soothe at all. I just feel so blessed, and am so happy. I am trying to lock these memories in my brain, and record the details because I know they grow so fast, and before you know it, your 2 year old isn't such a "baby" anymore!
The kids have all done well with her. They get told 10 times a day to get out of her face, they all love to talk with her and touch her - despite the "rules". Garett is probably the one that is more whiny and needy than the other two.

I am feeling wonderful. I am up and running as normal and back to routines.....except dinner and house, I haven't got that far yet. It's definately an adjustment with 4! I forget to leave time to feed Marlee before we go anywhere, or get her loaded in the carseat etc. I am used to telling the kids to get in the car and gets seatbelts on.

Life is crazy, and overwhelming. It would be much easier if I was a mom full time. I am more half a mom,like I get just the minimums done with the kids. I am always needing to get work done, and am constantly behind. Such is our life though, and we are happy. The grass is always greener on the other side.

I decided I'd rather not have our name on the blog address so I changed it to busy6.blogspot.com. I also changed my background and it deleted all my cute pictures on the side. Stupid, I don't know what I am doing! I'll update it in a bit!Brig instructed me do a new family picture, although I loved that one, we got to get Marlee in there!

Marlee Sage

New Chick in town!

We are so happy to announce that we have FINALLY had our baby!! Marlee Sage was born on Wed. Oct 1. She is beautiful, sweet, and perfectly healthy. I was induced, since I was 5 days over the due date. All went well, and fast - same as my other babies. I've been so blessed and lucky that way, and try not to take that for granted!

Abby's 6th Birthday Princess Party

Abby had her Birthday party today. We had about 10 girls come, and everyone wore their dress ups. It was a crazy and fun time.

First we painted nails, and put makeup on. Then we did cake, which was a cute barbie cake with a Cinderella dress. Then we opened presents, and as the last one was getting opened the REAL CINDERELLA stopped in! She had them gathered around her, and hanging on every word. She sang songs, read them a story, played a game like "Don't eat Pete" but princess style, and talked about how Princesses act, and they practiced how a Princess walks as well, she ended it with making them flower and butterfly balloons. They all loved it, and it was wonderful for me to sit on the couch, and let someone else entertain! She did a great job.

After the party ended at 1:00 3 of her friends stayed to play till almost 6:00! I had no problem, cause they just played and giggled and played some more. Downstairs tea party, to dolls/littlest pets, and pollypockets, playing in the bunk bed with computer games, and lastly in the bathtub with their swimsuits on, and dolls, for about an hour. They laughed so much, it was fun to hear them have fun.

Just a few Random cute Pix of my kids this summer!

Monster Baby

This is my sweet, adorable, cuddly Benson Bear. He's such an angel, and is so quiet. We just love him so much.............most of the time............Till he got close to being a 2 year old!

This lovely whitestuff would be DIAPER OINTMENT that he found in some weird hidden place. It was a brand that I thought I was out of months ago. Not one we were using currently.....no idea where he got it. If anyone has a good tip of how to get ointment out of my new carpet, I'd love to hear it!!!! I scrubbed and scrubbed, but there is still darkspots allover from ointment.

The stupid thing is, that he was smiling and looking so cute when I took the pictures of how naughtly he was.

Abby's First Day of Kindergarten

Abby started Kindergarten last week. She looked so cute, and loved it of course. It seems weird to have a child in the school system. I'm too young!!

She has Mrs. Howell (Crazy how Tolman still has the same two Kindergarten teachers that I had when I went there!)

Garett also started Preschool, with Mrs. Anderson, the same Preschool teacher I had! He can actually tell me what they did, he said "Mom, I really love my preschool and there is lots of boys that are my friends, I don't like the girls".

I'm happy and proud to see them enjoy growing up and going to school. Abby actually wants to do homework, and practice reading etc.
