How We Love Lacy...The Pony

After having my 3rd child I have found that it is not so easy losing that baby weight. I decided in early July that I was going to have to start exercising on a regular basis to get back to where I want to be. I found a family friend who offered to come to my house M-Thurs. for a couple of hours in the morining. She has been so good to my kids and they love her to death. Well, Thursday was her last day because she heads back to school on Monday. Friday she invited us to her house to give the girls their pony ride they have been dying to get. We enjoyed some time with her family as well. We will miss you Loretta!

Can you see the look of fear in Josie's eyes?

Three Kids, Three DIFFERENT Personalities

As I was looking back at all the pictures I have taken over the summer I can't believe how much my kids have grown and changed. All three have been given very different personalities as well.

Emma - You are very caring and nuturing. You are always asking to hold Jax and everyone else's babies. You go visit your grandma great almost everyday. I am very proud of the little girl you've become. You are getting ready to start preschool in a few weeks and I know you are definitely ready. You are also my "little diva". You love to wear make-up and paint your finger nails and toe nails. You are always asking when we are going to get a manicure and pedicure. We've tried that once, but you couldn't sit still long enough to let them dry! :)

Josie - Your personality has definitely grown over the last month or so. You are our families comedian. During the day Emma and I love to sit back and watch you. You make us laugh hysterically. Today you decided to talk to us while having both fingers up your nose! You have the sweetest little voice and you are definitely a favorite among the extended family.
You are also the most fearless 19 month old I know. Last week you were bitten by a little kitty TWICE, but you still held on to that darn kitty while fighting off our new black lab, Harley.

Up to no good...

Jax - My sweet baby boy. I can't begin to tell you how in love with you I am. You fit perfectly into our family. You resemble Emma, but have dark hair like your daddy. You are beginning to laugh and giggle frequently. You love your sisters, but like for your mommy to be close by in case your sisters start to give you a little to much lovin. Your mommy loves to kiss and hug on you all the time. I know one day you won't let me do that anymore so I am going to do it all the time for as long as you will let me.

Any Suggestions...

I want to update my blog title picture. My kids have grown up so much since that picture was taken and poor little Jax isn't even in it. When I did it for the first time it took F O R E V E R and I know there has got to be an easier way. Any suggestions?
