My handsome boy

It is no secret I always wanted girls.  I love pink, and frill, and doing hair and nails.  I LOVE my girls.  But now that I have a little man in my life there is just something so incredibly special that I feel for him. I never thought I would be a "boy," mom.  But I am so in love with this little boy!  I could just smother him with kisses and love everyday of my life.  I can already tell that I am going to be that mom at prom totally embarrassing him by telling him how handsome he is and kissing his cheek.  I can already hear it, "mom....please."  I don't care who knows I LOVE this little Sulliman!!!!!  (and no I didn't misspell his name that is what we have all started calling him:)

Albuquerque

We made it safely to Albuquerque.  My first trip with all three kids.  All I have to say is thank heavens I have such AMAZING and WONDERFUL children.  The flight was easy and we are enjoying time with family.  Christopher my brother-in-law got his MBA!!!!!!  We are so proud of him!  Sullivan has gotten to meet more of his family, and of course my girls are loving being with my mom and dad.  We have also gotten to see some friends and do some fun things, we are here for another week, so there is more fun to be had, but here are some pictures of our trip so far.

The Help

We have had a ton of help! My mom was here for a long time (thank heavens!), my dad came too, then my sister, and then my mother-in-law and my father-in-law. It was so nice to have the help in those early weeks especially because we were all so sick. I don't have really any pictures from that time, mostly because it is a blur.  But here are some from those days, of all the new grandparents, and a video of my mom and I attempting to give Sullivan a bath.

Chad took his paternity leave this week and we had some serious fun! I think we actually had so much fun, that all of us are a little under the weather today:( But no loss, it was so nice to just spend the time as a family. We took Sullivan to Disney for the first time! We actually took the kids twice in one week (we will not do that again anytime soon!) I am well on my way to loosing that baby weight now:) We also took Chad to Emily's preschool, and he got to drop Sofia off at hers. We ate out, and basically just enjoyed each other as a family of five. Here are some pics:

Happy Birthday Juliet

Two years ago today was my due date for Emily! I can't believe it has been two years!!!!
For Emiy's 2nd birthday she decided to have a Gnomeo and Juliet party. She LOVES this movie, and I think we might have seen it at least 20 Bizillion times!!!! My mom made her a Juliet dress, that she looked adorable in, and hasn't taken off since. I served a lot of garden themed snacks, and everything was red and blue. We even got a featherstone for the occasion, which has made it inside and is more of a toy than a lawn decoration:) We were going to have lawnmower races, however it was the one rainy day in Southern California, so the girls have been doing their own lawn mower races in the backyard. She almost slept through the whole thing that is why her hair looks wet, I woke her up half way through the party and she was a sweaty mess:) I didn't want her to miss it though!

Easter

My three beautiful children...I feel so blessed this Easter!

Baby Sullivan

So I haven't posted any pictures or even posted since "little man," (that is what the girls call him), has been born because for the first two weeks we were just enjoying every minute of him. Then he got horrible sick:( Unfortunately Sullivan got RSV so I have been terrible overwhelmed and sleep deprived with a sick infant. But the good news is, he is doing much better and we have had a ton of help while he has been sick.
Here are some picture of the last couple of weeks. He is wonderful, and beautiful. The girls adore him, and want to hold him all the time. We are actually all doing well, and feel blessed that he is really starting to recover.
