Hooray for Oliver!

Olli's first time on a slide!

Well Check Up's

Levi and Oliver had doctor appointments yesterday. Neither one had to get shots so that was a relief. Levi is trying a new medicine for his allergies and other than that is a healthy 2 year old boy. Oliver needs to gain 1 pound in the next month and I think he'll do it. His new medicine helps him not to puke so much and he eats none stop. Out of all my kids he is the best eater. He just needs to keep it down:) So it's nothing but milk shakes and donuts for the next month...right Hilary;) He may be getting teeth soon. He is a little more irritable and bites quite a bit. I have been doctor ordered (suggested) to start weening so I am half excited half sad. I have been pregnant or breastfeeding constantly for the last 5 years! After the appt we all decided to go to a park and go eat. Here are some pictures of the day.

The Princess and the Potty

Ever since Marki was potty trained she just couldn't conceive the concept of peeing outdoors. We were on our way to Montana when she was just 2 and she had to go really bad. Being in the middle of nowhere after hitting the Montana border we pulled over for her to go. She got out of the car, looked around and asked where the bathroom was. I explained that she'd have to pee on the ground and I wish I could have captured the look she gave me. That 'are you crazy' look. Suffice to say, she refused to go and held it about 30 more minutes just to use a toilet. Well, that tradition holds true today. For the past few years Marki will scout out all the porta potties while we are camping, fishing, etc. She pays such great attention and she'll say, "I don't have to pee on the ground. There was a bathroom just down the road a bit." I love her. She is the best camper I know but she'll have her princess high heels on, (I have to bring her other shoes), and keeps her eye's open for bathroom's along the way. We did have success this trip. She peed behind a bush but was not a happy camper about it. I love you and your adorableness. Don't ever change baby.

Our Fishing Trip

Notice each one has their own bag of chips:)

Mark and I in our $1. sunglasses.

We didn't catch anything this trip:(

Momma and babies came right up to us. We fed them some bread.

Something new. Mark loves clams. Me and the kids tried it for the first time. Not too bad. Levi seemed to eat them up however he stuffed them in his cheeks and spit them out later. Marki wasn't so fond of them.

They had a blast running around after we ate.

Marki's flower. I am still surprised she didn't choose orange. Batman

We pretended Lee was Batman all day. He loved it.

She's going to be this year's winner!

My friend Tracey will be competing at this year's singing competition, hometown idol. I can't wait to go and listen to her. She is amazing. I like the music she sings better than the original artists. I'm not even kidding. Her voice is the most beautiful voice ever. We can't wait to go and cheer you on! Good luck Tracey!!!

Our Little Man

9 months today! This boy can just melt my heart. He has a constant smile on that adorable face. Such a sweet boy. When I go and get him from a nap he waves at me and laughs. He still has issues with his acid reflux. It seems nothing can stay in this little one. His new medicine is working a little better so hopefully he can start keeping food down. My poor little sweetheart.

He loves his bath time and I'll have a video of him on here soon splashing about.
