7 1/2 months old!!!

NOW YOU KNOW WHY I AM BUSY ALL THE TIME!!!

THEY ARE ALWAYS ON THE GO!!!! (except right now, Dora's on!!! my 30 mins of free time)

I DONT KNOW WHO THEY GET IT FROM!!!

Our Projects

OK SO...... I am so proud of myself..... before i go on, all you "cool" moms are going to look at this and say "so what" "it's no big deal" but for me it is so please bare with me. one day i was sitting around with the kids and Ashlyn was as usual asking me if she could do all this "stuff" and i decided that I needed to get off my butt and do a quality project with them since i did not put them in preschool this year (long story for another day). So I mentally prepared myself (i Have said it before, having four kids should be fun but lets be real, with all of them under four it gets hard for me to please everyone at the same time.) and took them to wal-mart to pick out something fun to do. so we got home from walmart ate lunch and I put Carter down for his nap (one down) then I got everything as organized as I could and did a project with all three girls. when that was done I put kimber down for her nap (two down) and spent another hour or more with the older two girls and had a fun craft afternoon. now you might say "so what" but let me tell you it was good for me to do with them. I put all my rules and cleaning and "mess tending" aside and the girls had a blast. here are a couple of pictures of that proud day!!

Kimber's Birthday

Kimber is Finally 2! I think she has had the terrible 2's for the last year and now I have an excuse as to why she is so grumpy! I has nothing to do with how spoiled she is right (wink wink!!) Happy Birthday Kimber we Love you!

I was so lucky to find this Barbie. Ashlyn has it in Pink and Lexi got the purple one for her b-day so to find one in blue was great!!

Summer Fun!

This summer (as i am sure it is for the rest of you) has been a summer of staing close to home and just hanging out. The gas it takes to get anywhere is just to much so we have been staying home and the girls have had a lot of swim time thanks to my broher getting into a house with a pool. Special thanks to Papa to for working with the girls in the pool. With two other kids that need all my attention it gets kinda tricky to do these kind of things!

This is about as far as Kimber wants to get in. She's just happy watching everyone right now!

Look Lexi looks happy!!! Actually she really loves swimming.

Ashlyn being a monkey!!

Carter loves this music table!

the other video of carter

While I was waiting for this to load, Lexi came to me to get the knots out of her Junk Roke (jump rope) i tried to tell her how to say it right but she insisted on calling it junk roke!! I had to write it down because those are the things I want to remember.

Crawling

Here is a quick video of carters latest trick. I had another video of carter trying to chase kimber but it was to long and so the file was to big but it was so funny! it's almost like he's a person now!!!

Carter

Ok so yesterday at church during sunday school, Carter was playing on the floor and made his way to the chair in front of us. he started gumming the leg of the chair so I picked him up to rub his gums for him and guess what I found?!! A tooth! a sharp little poky thing right there in his mouth. so I am excited . He is so much like Ashlyn in so many ways that this just adds to the list because she had two teeth by 6 months and I did not even know she got her first tooth because she never showed signs of it.

They get so big so fast!

Ok, so haveing four kids that are so close in age should be fun and exciting right? well it is, dont get me wrong but can I say it is a whole lot more work! I have some pictures here to just show SOME of the crazy things I see and have to put up with. I will have to explain some of them so bare with me!

Ok This first picture is a reproduction in a more safe environment. I gave the girls baggies of cheetos the other day and of course Kimber took hers into the living room and dumped them all on the floor. well Carter was playing on the floor at that time too and just llike a fly to honey he goes to the cheetos. Now you might be thinking, what how did he do that? Well carter is now 5 months and now he flops him self all over the the place like a little seal and sits himself up. Yes pretty soon she will be full on crawling. so anyway he gets to the cheetos and before I can get to him he has it in his mouth. now cheetos desolve pretty well and quick so i kinda just let him suck on it to see what he would do. He loved it. I took the chunk out of his mouth before he could sollow it but i had to get his first people food on camera so I put him in his high chair and gave him another one.


OK this picture of Kimber I had to edit a little bit. She is wanting to potty train and keeping clothes on her is so hard so needless to say she was naked. The girls are big into coloring right now so they were all out in the living room coloring. I was walking back and forth putting things away when I walked by a glanced at the table and kimber was sitting there watching me walk by with a huge smile and this in her nose. it took me a second to realize that she had a crayon in her nose but i took a detour grabbed the camera and cought this picture! this is not the only thing she has ever put in her nose either. we had to get the tweezers a few weeks ago and get a pink bead out.

This is just of her using the potty. I am trying to make it a big deal when she goes and this kinda stuff helps.

Ashlyn is trying to be a good helper and always wanting to do things for carter. This night in particuler she kept asking me if she could feed carter. I told her no like fifty times but does she listen? NO. I had to get up to referee the other two girls and when I came back this is what I found. now I should have been really mad because I had told her no before but just before this picture i saw her feed him and he took it! which was a good thing because he really wont eat for me. so I watched for a second and then this is what happened next. so I grabbed the camera because I figured "oh well it's only a mess right. it's not like she's trying to hurt him (this time!)

I love her exression here. she is doing the typical mom reaction. thinking that if she opens her mouth it will help him! Right after this picture was taken she got some of te food on her hand and it grossed her out and she quit!

Back yard Fun

We are too cheep to buy a pool, but who needs one when two out of three can fit in a bin!!!

Update 2008

Well it has been a very long time since I logged in and updated any information so here goes the readers digest version. We have had two more kids and bought our own business. Kimber Lynn was born in August of 2006 and Carter Wayne was born in February of 2008. Ashlyn and Lexi are doing wonderful and every day gets more and more interesting. We bought the company that Jesse was working for in 2006. The owner was ready to move on to other things so Jesse took over. It has been really hard the last two years but a great learning experiance for the both of us. so here are some pictures to update the last two years.

Update

Hello everyone. I know I have not updated this in a while but here are some more pictures of the girls. Also for those of you who don;t know, I am Pregnent again! yes i know we are crazy but it is a great blessing. I am do at the end of August which is not a blessing in the arizona heat but at least I am at home with the girls now and we can hit the pool everyday!

Lexi is all over the place now. I can't wait untill she is walking.

We let Ashlyn walk through the department store and what did she go for, of course the fancy purses!

What a GIRL!!!!

Not much else is going on at the moment. I am just enjoying my time being home.

The Girls As of October 2005

Ok Grandma Sue inspired me to update my site when I saw her great blogspot! We do have a little bit of new news. I have decided to stop working and stay home with the girls full time! We prayed long and hard and after some time things have fallen into palce. I will be hard for a while but I think we will be ok. I know I love being with the girls. My first week was a little challenging though, Lexi got pretty sick and all I did for 3 and and half days was hold her. Ashlyn had had it the week before Lexi so needless to say we have not done much the last couple of weeks. Poor Ashlyn was getting pretty stir crazy! They are getting better although I still think it is going to put a damper on this years Halloween party's! For some reason other parents dont want their kids to get sick, Silly huh! Here is just a couple of pictures of the girls in October 2005. Oh the picture of all the papers on the floor is a funny story, The short version is Ashlyn got in the Library and pulled all our files out and Jesse found her standing in the drawer! that girl will get into anything!!! we Hope you are are well and hope to hear from you! Much love Chelsea

This is one of Ashlyn's place's she goes to talk on the phone. See she will get into anything!

She thought she was being funny getting into Mommy's things. This is one thing she likes to play with

Lexi is so good! but I think she is going to be alot like her sister!

She loves to sit and watch me in the Kitchen!

But she always makes sure to keep one eye on sister!!!

One good thing is she likes to brush her teeth before we go out!!

Update

I can't believe how time fly's! Lexi rolled over for the first time on Saturday 9/10/05. I thought maybe it was a fluke because she only did it once but sunday and Monday she was a rolling over fool~!! any time now that I put her on her back she goes right to her tummy! It's so fun to watch her grow up. Of corse Ashlyn is right there with her. I tried to put her shoes on her Sunday and They did not fit! She must have grown over night! Not too much else is going on. I have had a couple of Dr's appointments about my Thyroid. We will have to see how that comes out. They think it's going to fast so I may have to take medicine. hopfully not. Well I hope everyone is doing great, I would love to hear from everyone!

New Pictures

Just had the girls pictures done.

Lexi Blessing and Ashlyn being a "Big Sister"

Well I have said it before that that I could not get some good pictures of Lexi and that has stayed true. I have been able to get one or two here and there. It also is hard when I have a helper named Ashlyn. She loves her sister but she does it a little too much and makes Lexi mad... We blessed Lexi on July 31, 2005 so here are a couple of pictures of that. I have finally been able to put Ashlyn's hair in ponytails so you can see that too. We love you all and miss you!

Lexi and Ashlyn June 2005

Well I wish I could get a good picture of Lexi but every time I try she makes a face or the flash gets her upset so here is a couple that came out ok.

This was her first day at church

She is a great sleeper just like her dad. she is sleeping about 6 hours at night. I love her for that!

He was trying to take a nap with her but she wanted to be awake instead!

Ashlyn LOVES to play with daddy's hat's.

She also loves to ride the horse with grandpa.(grandma makes her wear that silly hat!!)

This is ashlyn's first time playing in the new sprinkelers. she had been playing in the rocks before the water came on and when her face got wet she tried to wipe her face off but got even more dirty! she loves the water though, she went stright for it before mommy could get her clothes off!
