More summer fun...

We have very busy here...not that we have been on the go but it's just been busy with 4 little ones! We did get to visit the zoo and make a trip to Niagara Falls which was fun.  Then on Sunday we leave for Boston for 3 days...hoping to make it to the aquarium in Boston-we shall see!  Here are some pics from the past couple weeks...

Of course I can't get a picture of Levi without somebody touching him...poor baby!

Ewww...I do not even like to look at this picture...yes this is MY daughter holding a frog!  For those of you who don't know...I have a fear of frogs (yes I can admit it is completely irrational!)...so to see my daughter holding one gives me the shakes!!

Daddy's lil Yankee fan!

Zoo

I love this picture...I think Abbie was afraid to turn her back to the lions in fear that they would come from behind and get her! :)

My little country girls milking the cow...

Niagara Falls

Some things never change...I have a picture of Sophie chasing birds last year!

This picture is for Aunt KeeKee!

My silly little Abbie!

Daddy and his girls!

I love my family!!!

7 years ago...

Seven years ago I married the love of my life...little did I know that I would be able to fall even more in love with him over the next seven years...little did I know that seven years after saying "I do" I would take a picture of my four beautiful children holding a photo of us on our wedding day....little did I know on on our wedding day that several years down the road I would accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior and I would never be the same again...little did I know that I would begin to take God's path-not my own-and experience the greatest joy one could ever imagine! 


Greg is such an amazing man...I thank God everyday for Greg, our marriage, and our family...Not to say things are perfect...I know that will never happen here on earth but since embracing God's plan for us we have become a much stronger couple and stronger family.  I love what we have and would not change it for anything...Happy Anniversary Greg...Bootsie loves you!!!

Happy ONE month!!

Happy One Month, Sweet Levi!!!!

We LOVE you soooo much and already can't imagine our lives without you!!!!

Summer time...

Learning to ride a bike with Daddy...Ella did really well and she will definitely be riding by the end of the summer...Sophie-well it may take her a little bit longer since she quits trying once she falls...do they make training wheels for adults-b /c Sophie may need them!! :)

Our Sweet little Guy!

Here are some pics of our sweet little Levi...what a blessing!

4th of July Weekend

We had a great 4th of July weekend...We started out spending the 3rd at my Aunt and Uncle's house for their annual 4th of July picnic....it was even more memorable b/c my sister got engaged at the picnic!!! Yay Keekee and Jeff!!!!  Here are some pics from the fun packed weekend...

Here is a pic of my new nephew Brayden!! He is one month older than Levi...of course they will be BFF

Jeff patiently waiting to propose to Keekee...

The Happy Couple...

My sister in law and me with the new men in our lives!

(I decided not to enlarge this picture since I do NOT need any enlarging these days...especially with me wearing diagonal stripes-not sure what I was thinking???)

Levi with his Great Grandma Moebs

Here are some pics from the rest of the holiday weekend...

Ella flying in the air...look in the background and you will see little Levi waving to the camera!

LIfe as a family of 6...

Crazy...life has become a little more complicated with the arrival of Levi...but that would be expected given he is a newborn and newborns tend to be needy.  For the time being there is no getting up and going...something I miss.  I have yet to try and venture out by myself with the clan and I don't plan on doing it anytime soon.  So we have been hanging out a lot at home...that means mommy gets very excited when Daddy is home and we can get out for our weekly trip to Walmart (who would of guessed that I would ever long for trips to walmart)...it feels so good to get out when you are home all day!  And as you may know I LOVE to dress the girls-especially in the summer...maxi dresses, knot dresses, MJ halters-oh my I love it all!...but since we don't go many places I have to go all out when we make a trip to walmart...so it is a understatement to say they probably are a little overdressed for the trip! ;)

Levi is a sweet little baby.  He continues to nurse every 2-3 hours (every hour during his fussy time) and is really starting to fill out.  He has the sweetest little eyes and is just starting to focus on me.  I can't wait for that first smile!

Here are some pics from the last several weeks...

Yes...as you can see by Sophie's wrist...silly bands have invaded the Whitacre household...all I can say is Seriously??

Sophie and Ella showing off their new library cards...I now can check that off the summer to do list! :)

Little Levi's first bath!

And here is a group shot of my little sweeties...I can not even tell you how stressful this shot was...I won't write anymore b/c I really don't want to relive it...but on another note...how cute are these shirts??? Ashley made them from Blue Cottage Kids (etsy)...she is soo sweet and so talented (and her prices are very reasonable)!  Thanks Ashley!! :)

HOpefully I will post my 4th of July pics before the end of summer!!!  We shall see!
