Geesh do you girls even remember me???
I'm still shocked to find my computer not in use! What ever happened to the thoughts of not being able to keep the older kids around the house much this summer.... ugh.... I can't get rid of them!! It seems this year our house is the hang out point, as if we don't have enough kiddos running around
!! It's been nice to have so many extra hands around to help with the little ones, but geesh now I'm cleaning up after little ones and a bunch of preteens - who I have to say are complete SLOBS
. All I have to say is watch out ladies... watch out
! Oh the drama.... never enough computers, controllers, this one is on that ones nerves.... it's exhausting - I can't wait for school to start again! Anyways I just wanted to let everyone know we're still here and all is well....
I'm doing good, besides being tired all the time. Nameless baby girl is good, getting bigger day by day and much more active (I need to do another belly pic - I've been soooo awful not taking any this time!). I've got a couple weeks before life really gets crazy on me with all the upcoming b-day's and school shopping. Bobby is doing great too, loving the job. He is home soooooo much more (another reason for me not being on as much too). He is really excited about having another girl and is sure to tell everyone he's got his 3 and 3 now (phew.... another confirmation this is it
).
Rylie is doing good. She is such a little firecracker, so full of energy and such a riot. Always in everyones business telling them what to do and how to do it. Potty training is great too, no accidents at all. She is dry after nap and almost dry in the morning too.
Peyton is good. He's going through a phase though... acting like Jayden (a baby) which is driving us batty so I'm really hoping it doesn't last long at all. Some days he is so absolutely hard to deal with. He's also really bad with hitting right now, thankfully that doesn't include Jayden just the rest of us. Good news is he has finally dried out and his ears stopped draining. We still catch him with his fingers in them all the time, so I'm wondering if there still isn't something going on. His right tube is still in the same place, it looks as though it is "stuck" - like turned slanted which is not allowing it to fall out. Not sure if that is normal when they fall out or if he will need it removed.
Jayden is doing awesome (wow that could be a first saying that!). He has dried out as well FINALLY and his ears don't seem to be bothering him one bit. His appetite is definitely back, although verging on the edge of that crazy behavior again. He has really been packing on some weight in the last two weeks, I threw him on the scale yesterday and he weighed 17lbs 3oz although he was fully clothed (we do him nekkid still) but it is definitely an awesome gain. He goes back to the pedi in a couple days for his well baby that we missed when he was sick so we'll see what he is then. He is all over the place and starting to climb on everything, he's also getting brave and letting go of things standing on his own. He loves holding on to anything he can and walking while pushing it all over the house. He's turing out to be quite the vocal little man as well
Well the older girls are finally rolling out of bed and I promised I'd make some french toast this morning so I guess I better get started on that. Hope everyone is doing well... I miss you guys

Summer FUN! (long update)
I've heard from many parents of school aged children they can't wait until school starts again. 
I am glad Jayden is doing so well!
