A Great Weekend With Great Friends

What a fun weekend with our dear friends the Marchik's and Craney's! We traveled to Korea together in March to bring home our sweet babies! What a bond we have! Mark and I know how blessed we were to be able to meet such awesome people! And what a great time we had hanging out, catching up and watching our very cute kiddos play! Nia loving the sprinkler!

Katie broke out the watermelon and the kids went crazy! They were eating it up!! Paul was chilling out in the swing and enjoying his snack.Hey Joseph, you gonna share any of that?

Joseph loved the water! He went right into the pool and the sprinkler! No fear!

Joseph and Grant in the sprinkler. Check out Grant's goggles, an essential when running through the water.

My cute little Alex. He like his goggles too!

Our Saturday night dinner. Craney's couldn't join us until Sunday so it was just the Lipic and Marchik crew.

On Saturday we went to the zoo and then let the kids play in the water park. This was the best picture I could get of Nia and Paul together. They move fast!!

A Busy Summer!

I can't believe that August is here! The summer is flying by!! Even though we have been busy it has been good. Nia is officially walking! She took off on July 13th and has been running ever since.

Grant did 4 weeks of T-ball and 4 weeks of soccer which he really enjoyed. It was alot of fun to watch him learn and play with the teachers and other kids! Alex didn't mind going either since there was a playground close by.


This summer we took several trips to the zoo, many friends, new and old have come to visit, we went to an airshow, Grant turned 4 in June, we've had dentist and doctor check ups,
and now we are gearing up for school to start. Grant actually won't start until September but he'll get to visit his classroom and meet his teacher in a few weeks.

The three kiddos seem to be getting along pretty well. Occasionally, I do have to tell them to stop rolling Nia across the floor (they think that is really funny) but for the most part they are doing great. Thank goodness! I have to say that the first couple months were WAY harder than I had anticiapted. I knew there would be adjustments but I don't think I was fully prepared. Hence, the numerous pounds of chocolate and junk I ate, hence the extra 10 pounds I am trying to lose. But, my babies are worth it!! I am so blessed with truly amazing kids and an awesome hubby! I have nothing to complain about!

We're Still Around!

Well, it has been a very long time! I finally surrendered to my old, beat up dinosaur of a computer. But alas, I have a brand spankin' new computer! Yeah! It has all the keys which really makes for more efficient typing and the space bar works, I am a lucky girl! I can honestly say that I truly appreciate this computer. So, now that I have access to a good PC I should be posting all the time right? We'll see. Hopefully I can get some pictures posted soon.

Summer has been crazy busy but good. Nia is walking! She started in June. She is really trying to keep up with her brothers. Grant started T-ball and soccer and loves it. Alex is still my little mischievious buddy. We have had a fun summer of getting together with friends, swimming (when it is warm enough) and going to the park .

I'll try to check in a little more frequently now but no promises!

I HATE Hackers!

Well, as some of you may know, my email account was hacked into. No, I did not go to Scotland and no, I am not stranded in a hotel in need of money. Why do these yahoos do this? It makes me SO mad!!!! And, to make mattters worse, Yahoo which is the account I had is no help whatsoever. They can't do anything because the hackers changed all my passwords and verification answers. Yahoo keeps telling me I need to give them the correct answer to my secret question. HELLO, these morons changed it!!! So, I have lost all my contacts and everything I had saved in my folders. Therefore, if any of you were on my contact list, could you leave your email address under the comment section? I will hopefully get a new address set up and definately not with Yahoo. They are forever on my "bad list!" I know it isn't their fault but I think they should have a plan for when this happens.

Anyway, on a lighter note, everything here is good. The weather has been beautiful and we have been enjoying being outside. The kids are loving the park and pretty soon I will get the pool out. I'll try to post some new pictures when I get a chance, for the moment the kiddos are sleeping so I am going to tackle some laundry. Isn't Sunday suppose to be the day of rest? Oh, well!!

Have a BLESSED day!

Disclaimer

OK, so this is my disclaimer. I am a bad blogger! I am really having a hard time figuring out when to do the posting and loading pcitures. To make matters worse, I just did several posts and I forgot to turn all of the pictures that were vertical. Work with me, just tilt your head. And they are out of order. That really bugs me. And, the explanation about all the pictures are at the very bottom. I have so much I would like to tell you about each of the pictures and have cute comments but you know, I think I will just go to bed now, it is after midnight. Maybe I'll get better someday. Hope you enjoy! We have had a wonderful week!!!!!!

Nia's Party Day!
