Such an imagination!

The other day we were at the playground at our house and I was swinging next to Hope. Isaiah was sitting on the four wheeler right in front of me eating grapes. Since the four wheeler was so close, I was pushing off the tire as I was swinging.

Isaiah: Mommy don't hit the four wheeler.

Me: It is in the way. It needs to be moved.

Isaiah: Vrooom (making the noise). I just moved it. Haha!

He is hysterical!

I'm Back

I don't know how many of you remember when everything was going wrong. And I dropped my computer!! So here is what I have been working with for the past 8 months. The screen finally gave out and it was all blurry...and well you get the picture...or here is the picture.


So, I have been without a computer for over a week and it was horrible!! Good thing I have a blackberry so I can stay connected and up to date. I went and bought a computer and did you know how cheap you can actually get them for!! It is crazy. I don't need much on my computer besides Internet and word so all I had to buy was the computer and the new Microsoft package. Because with the new ones nothing comes installed on them, you have to buy them all extra.


Anyway, I am just now getting caught up on emails. I don't like to write them on my phone...it takes too long and I can't write enough.


Sorry to bore you with all the details but just wanted to tell you I am back.

Peace and Quiet

Wow...what a month it has been. We have had so many visitors. Don't get me wrong...we love company, but we also love to have time to ourselves as well.

Isaiah's schedule has been thrown off so much by all of our visitors so we are still trying to get him back adjusted. Right now as I type...they are both asleep...that hasn't happened in quite some time. (Only because Isaiah didn't nap today :) But I will take it any day!

Now...I am just getting prepared for my sister Kristine's wedding shower this Sunday. We have some last minute preparations to do and some cooking to do on Saturday. I hope everything turns out great and everyone has a good time! Hope to see a lot of you there :)

The past few weeks

we have had many visitors. Here is some of the action!!

The group from Antigua. Notice I am not in the picture because I was in my pajamas! (It was early in the morning.)
Nadia and Jonathan with my kiddos. Hope loved Nadia and would go to her over me or her Daddy sometimes!
Hope with her cousin Ana. Hope is such a lover. She loves to hug and kiss all little kids!
Isaiah with his big cousins!
Isaiah and his new girlfriend Mia. They were jumping off a big air mattress to a little one. They had a blast!
Marko, Joanie, and Hopey!
Marko, Matteo, and Isaiah.
Isaiah with his new buddy Michael. He is great with kids. He gave Isaiah so many rides on his shoulders!
The Socha's with all their grandbabies!

All the Socha's together again after 18 months!
Aren't they cute??
The Falls...so beautiful! We loved having the Fiore's here. They were so great and so our their kids. They are all so helpful, funny, and loved to play with my kids! :) Isaiah and Hope are going to miss them!

Great Video

My aunt just sent me this video by one of my favorite bands that I haven't heard in awhile. I definitely needed to hear this song today. Isn't it funny how He works.

Updates

We are still in the midst of visitors so this will be a quick update with some things that have been going on.

* Our 1st group of 14 have come and gone. It was great to see Boris and Teresa and their family. It was a little crazy seeing as how we only moved in 10 days before they arrived. But everyone seemed to have a great time. Isaiah loved all the kids and had a blast. He loved Nadia his new friend and Hope's.

* My Aunt and Uncle arrived from Georgia and stayed with y Mom. They are always so much fun and make me laugh!

* Our second group of 10 arrived whom we haven't seen in a LONG time! The Fiore's! They are such a great family. They are our friends with 9 kids. They make us want to have more and have such a close family like theirs. Isaiah loves all the kids. Him and Mia are so cute together. They follow each other around and hold hands and play so nice together. (Uh oh Presley you may have some competition ..ha ah). Hope loves Mia to. She loves to hug and kiss her. She is such a lover!

* All of Dave's family are in town for the big celebration tomorrow.

* We spent the 4th in Tonawanda at the river house. I actually played Nintendo 64 with some of the Fiore boys. I was not so good. I used to be great at Nintendo back in the day, but I couldn't work the new controller very well. The kids also started to play charades right before the fireworks and they had me laughing so hard I was in tears. We had a great time!

* Isaiah didn't watch the fireworks. He was EXHAUSTED and just wanted to go home. He sat in the van the whole time since we were blocked in and had to wait for the road to open.

* Hopey is not feeling well. She has a terrible rash (we think it is a yeast infection). She was in so much pain she couldn't stand up, you couldn't hold her, she wouldn't take a bath or do anything. I was in tears because I couldn't help her. Finally, we rinsed her off, put on a show while I ran to the store, and then put on her medicine. Please pray she feels better in the morning and that the rash will go away. She is so miserable. It is so sad.

Hope you all had a great 4th of July!
