I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

     I haven't been able to post anything lately because I have been back and forth and in and out of the hospital visiting my mom.  I can't believe I am going to say this but she had to have open heart surgery, also known as bypass or CABG.  She went in for a stress test on Monday and had bypass on Tues morning.  We are all still in so much shock.   She is very lucky that her doctor made her go for the stress test, because she didn't want to.   She did excellent during surgery and post op  She is already at home.  Please pray she continues to have a great recovery.  We love you mom!!!!!!!!!

First Swim Lessons

We have been very excited to start our swim lessons.  We even got 2 new bathing suits.

Hannah had this look of dread,  like don't you dare let go of me.

Hannah was not quite sure about floating on her back.

Bowling Buddies

Hannah went bowling for the first time.  She actually did very well.  They put the bumpers up for the kids, but she really didn't need them.  On the other hand, us adults haven't bowled in about ten years and we were horrible.

Connor Jack kept yelling ball, ball, ball.

Weekly catch up!!

    We have been very busy during these last couple of weeks.  We have taken on painting our house.  This has been somewhat impossible with two kids,  a dog,  and mountains of toys in the middle of everything.  Although I have been living like a crazy woman we almost have the whole downstairs finished.

     On another note we have been passing a nasty little stomach bug around to each other.  Hannah was the first to get sick, then Connor.  I thought I was safe, but a couple days ago it hit me hard.  I wasn't able to keep anything down for two days.  I feel slightly better today.  I told myself that I had to feel better because we had tickets for the circus.  I'll post pictures soon.

     Please pray for baby Stellan, he is in the hospital and not doing well.

There is a new baby at our house!!!!!!

Hannah's great grandma,  Granny sent her to pick out a new baby for her birthday.  She had so much fun.  You stand behind the glass, look at all the babies, pick out the one you want, then you go back to the nursery and get your brand new baby ready to come home with you.

Here is Hannah in her hospital gown, can you believe that they made me wear one too.  The lady in the nursery kept calling Hannah mom and me grandma.

Hannah making sure her baby heart was just perfect.

Hannah and Ryleigh

Hannah getting ready to take Ryleigh home.  Thanks Granny!!!

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by href="http://www.mycharmingkids.net">MckMama. You can head over to href="http://www.mycharmingkids.net">her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

This is my first Not Me Monday so here it is....

I certainly did not loose my 18 month old in the house for 15 sec today... he was hiding from me in the laundry room

I did not let my son watch the same Blues Clues video twice in a row so he would sit still and eat dinner

I did not sit in front of the computer and cry like a baby when I registered my daughter for kindergarten this fall...how can she be 5 years old already

I did not have a panic attack when I saw my choices for bathing suits for our first swim lesson tonight...when did they start making string bikinis for little girls

I did not run around the house frantically gathering up all the remote controls so I could use the batteries for the babies musical sea horse, that we just can't sleep without

And finally, I did not sleep the whole night in my favorite brown rocker holding my peacefully sleeping baby just because I wanted to

Swim Party

Hannah went to her first swim party.  It was for a little girl that she dances with.  Hannah did really well in the water.  She was a little too brave if you ask me.  I thought I was going to have to jump in the water in my clothes a few times when she went too far out.  She is pretty tall and could touch  for the most part, but she hasn't taken a  swim class yet.  Can you guess what I will be doing tomorrow.......signing up my baby girl for lessons!!!!!!!!

Look at my cutie pie with the girls.
