I say that and it also seems it is no way attributable to him. He is the best baby! It is easy to take advantage of his disposition and leave him be and I hate when that happens. I love to hold him and love on him and watch his new giggles and his smile. It is very difficult to do though with two demanding little girls. At 5 and 2 Daley and Demi require a lot of attention. Daley is in the "Watch me Mommy!" stage and Demi just says it because Daley says it and quite frankly it is a cry out for attention because they often times have to come up with something for me to watch after they ask. It leaves me frustrated with them and that's unfortunate too. We are getting there though! And, every day is better than the last.Witt will be 4 months old in 9 more days and I can not believe it! Baby's truly don't stay babies long. It seems like yesterday is newborn outfits swallowed him whole and now he is busting out of them like the Incredible Hulk! He is such a joy and his sisters love him so much. They are always trying to entertain him and make him laugh. Laughing is his latest trick :) He smiles constantly any time anyone shows him any attention and there is nothing more rewarding than the achievement of making a baby smile, so everyone is an entertainer these days. <div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">

Demi is 2 years and 4 months and she is full of senseless speech! She babbles and babbles all day long, most of which no one can understand, but she really enjoys doing it. She is our entertainer! She sings and dances as much as she babbles and most things she says she turns into a song and dances to it. Right now her latest tunes are "Happy Birthday America" and "Hello, My Mama Said No". Her daycare (of which we are so pleased with) has really pumped up the 4th of July! It is such a blessing to watch little ones be so patriotic. She has been talking about America's Birthday for two weeks. I went to the store and bought all the ingredients to make a special 4th of July cake so as to not disappoint on this special occasion.<br />

Daley turned 5 this May and she is blossoming into such a young lady. She has the vocabulary and attitude of a preteen and I am fearful for how much worse it will be when she finally gets that age. She asks a lot of questions! She is very curious and very smart. She works on reading and writing on her own constantly and would prefer to do "her important work" as she calls it, over playing. Sometimes I wish she would "stop and smell the roses" but it is hard to discourage her spirit. She is a little mother to her sister and brother. She is constantly bossing Demi around and telling her what to do and she loves to hold Baby Witt and feed him. Haven't convinced her to change any diapers yet :) She makes me so proud in all of her accomplishments. She is not a daredevil to say the least. She is very fearful of being injured in any way. She has conquered her fear of the water this summer and is even swimming in the deep end! My big girl!<br />

Swimming in the deep! (Notice the 8 ft sign)<br />
<br />
Zach and I are constantly trying to find a balance between work and family and time with each other. The area lacking the most is of course our time with each other. We are making an effort, but it is hard to leave those little sweet faces for alone time when you are already leaving them for work on a daily basis. It is for me anyway, can't speak for Zach. Pretty sure he just want to go out to dinner, just the two of us! :) We are finally getting to the areas of our house that we neglected since Witt came 2 weeks after we moved in. I have wondered if it would ever get the way we want it, but it is coming along. This past weekend I actually uncovered an air conditioner vent in the laundry room that I didn't even know we had because it was covered in boxes. Sheesh! We are now working on a backyard for the girls and Witt to play in, and after that is complete I hope to work on the garage and maybe actually be able to park a car in it sometime in the near future. But, until then we will keep pushing along and enjoying this precious time in our lives!<br />

It has only been a few short weeks that he has been with us so far, but we have loved him from the second we laid our eyes on him. He has two loving big sisters that "help" so much with taking care of him. If he survives their "care" he will be a better man for it! We love you Witt and we are so excited you have joined our family and we look forward to watching you grow!<br />

We had Christmas, New Years, A trip to Disney World, Zach's Birthday, Valentine's Day, Demi's Birthday, My Birthday....And, did I mentioned we MOVED on my Birthday??? And, Baby Witt is due March 12!!<br />
<br />
For Christmas one of the highlights is that I got a SURPRISE NEW CAMERA from my WONDERFUL IN LAWS to replace the aforementioned <a href="http://www.alsobrook.blogspot.com/2011/11/thankful-or-impatient.html">camera lost</a> in a blog post below. Now at least I can post pics again, and not from my phone :) Hence the reason why I only have a few pics posted below (some from my phone) to document our very blessed Christmas that we celebrated this year. Before Christmas Day at about noon, I had no camera. I posted a pic of the new camera too :)<br />

New Year's was about as thrilling as New Year's can be at 7 or 8 mos pregnant. We barely made it awake long enough to watch the ball drop on TV at 11pm CST! HA! No pics to document all the excitement : /<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">Disney World was about as AUsome as Disney World can be! We went to watch Aubie compete in the 2012 National Mascot Championship. OF WHICH HE WON! The girls had a blast at all the parks and Daley especially had a great time watching Aubie compete. She loved watching the cheerleaders perform at their National Competition too, unfortunately by this time Mommy was exhausted and could not stay any longer. I did promise her, next year though, that we would drive our own car to the competition and stay as long as she wanted to! I used to go to Nationals for Dance Competition so this is right up my alley and I would love nothing more than to share this time with her. I could watch for hours!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

Birthdays are not what they used to be with two little ones running the show. We did get a cookie cake to celebrate, although it was chosen by Daley and probably not what Daddy would've picked :) Happy 31st Birthday Zach!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

Next was Valentine's Day. I unfortunately did not get any pics of the girls opening up their Valentine's gifts (probably was afraid a pic of our boxes from packing might show up), but I did get these lovely flowers delivered to my work by a very special husband! <br />

Cookies the Girls and I made for Valentines<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">A few weeks after Zach's Birthday, Demi celebrated her 2nd Birthday! Luckily I had planned it in enough advance to be at A Play Place, since our house was on the market and I was "hoping" it would sell and we didn't know where we would be. And guess what......we sold our house too! Someone came out and put an offer on our house the first week of February with the request that we be out February 27th. SUPER FAST taking into consideration that I am due to have baby #3 March 12 :) So, while our house was in disarray we were able to pull off a "destination" Birthday party for Demi Doo and I think it went off without a hitch! Well I say that, but this is excluding the fact that there was a helium shortage and I had to drive all over town to fill up the balloons :)<br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;">Most recently, with everything taken into consideration that could have possibly gone wrong along the way, we bought a new house and moved in on my Birthday! We bought in Brook Highland which is a good ways down 280 from Trussville and much closer for Zach as he is travelling to Auburn/Opelika more and more for his law practice. I LOVE THE NEW HOUSE! I have had so much fun getting everything in order and unpacking and decorating, even though decorating is really not my thing. All while being 9 mos pregnant at this point :) The reason for the purchase of the new house was 1st; to have more room as we are expecting baby #3 and 2nd; to get Zach a little closer to Lee County. We have succeeded! And, while we have yet to totally unpack with a baby due in 5 days, we are sleeping there and it is in living condition.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK1uZ4VDAIP5XvQHh2DiXfu4LOnbZAHyfBTmVENTPRVfl1LGj4X0yxLpXGevUU3A5yCodCI2CNWWREdNFn-MwUAosY7hb7W1wX-0zu7ZOA2aokE3AvImaNEvSPcxrC2Ufkttla0drZkj2U/s1600/old+house.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK1uZ4VDAIP5XvQHh2DiXfu4LOnbZAHyfBTmVENTPRVfl1LGj4X0yxLpXGevUU3A5yCodCI2CNWWREdNFn-MwUAosY7hb7W1wX-0zu7ZOA2aokE3AvImaNEvSPcxrC2Ufkttla0drZkj2U/s320/old+house.jpg" width="320" yda="true" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Old House</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

9. My ears to hear the sweet giggles of my girls.<br />
10. My eyes to watch them and everyone else around me grow and morph in to someone older and wiser.<br />
11. My nose to smell the wonderful Thanksgiving food!<br />
12. My mouth (sometimes) when I am able to communicate what I want to say :)<br />
13. My legs to walk and run<br />
14. My hands to touch and feel all that is around me<br />
15. Little Witt in my belly teaching me patience every day! Hopefully that won't continue when he arrives! HA!<br />
16. My house for not selling as of yet. (Strange, but I know it is for a bigger and better reason)<br />
17. Being financially stable enough to afford help with a few things in life, because without the help I would sure be overwhelmed. (examples: yard man, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, pest control, you know the important things)<br />
18. My yard man because he looks out for snakes and killed one and didn't let it bite one of us<br />
19. My inability to say no to committing myself to things. Sometimes I over commit, but I definitely don't miss out!<br />
20. Dinner at my mom's more than once a week. (You just have no idea!)<br />
21. My trip to Gatlinburg with Zach's Family for Thanksgiving. It will be so fun for the girls and Zach and I to spend a few days with them!<br />
22. Being fortunate enough that our families are close enough in proximity to share the holidays with both!<br />
23. Our puppies. They spent a week in the kennel while we went on vacation. Since our family has continued to expand we have really neglected them and they were once all we had! :)<br />
24. Thanksgiving Day...eating with family, traveling and long conversations with loved ones.<br />
<br />
The last few days of November consisted of unpacking from our trip to Gatlinburg and traveling to Auburn for the Iron Bowl. It did not work out in our favor but I do love the Iron Bowl. The anticipation of the event is never disappointing, however only less exciting when we lose.<br />
<br />
The first two weeks of December have been crazy! I love all the Christmas parties, but I do wish we could spread them out over a couple months instead of having 3 per week! It is a little overwhelming. I have NOT completed my Christmas shopping yet and Christmas is next weekend. Ahhhh, the joys of Christmas :) I do love this time of year though, even though we are super busy. I love shopping and get super carried away at this time of year. I really love shopping for the little ones. Even if they don't like their gift it is so fun to picture their little faces in your mind getting excited as they open a present :) Daley had her Christmas program at her school. She was a Bethlehem Traveler and it was a wonderful performance by all! We have been traveling a lot lately so unfortunately we have not been to church in a couple of weeks. I hate that, as this is truly what the season is all about. We will get there though! <br />
<br />
I am constantly getting larger! According to Baby Center Witt now weighs about 2 pounds and measures 14 inches (an English hothouse cucumber????) from head to heel. He is kicking kicking kicking! A very active little boy. I don't think I have felt this much movement in the past two pregnancies and I hope this is not a sign of his activity level post birth :)<br />
<br />
I have attached a few pics of the girls below! (Won't be referring to our children as "the girls" much longer. How exciting!)<br />

I like for things I want to happen immediately, who doesn't though, right? I think my perception of how fast things will happen for me is often times skewed. I understand that many people's homes have been on the market for a year and often times longer than that, however here I am DYING TO MOVE TODAY and my house has only been on the market for less than 3 whole mos! I also understand that I will be pregnant for 40 whole weeks, however here am at 22 weeks wondering everyday HOW MUCH LONGER? Not only am I torturing myself, but since the 1st wish (house selling) hasn't been accomplished, why in the world would I be rushing the 2nd wish (baby hurry up!)? There is not even a bedroom for our little man when he gets here! HA! I am pregnant, emotional and irrational at this very moment! Ask Zach or Daley even for that matter! They will testify! Daley has even asked me several times lately, what is wrong? I think I must just have a terrible blank stare on my face all the time! Why am I wishing all this time away?<br />
<br />
In other news, I am missing my very expensive camera (pic below)! Oh camera what has happened to you? It may not seem like I treasured you, but really I did! I want you to come home so desperately so I can take my most exciting Christmas Card pic that I take every year! Why have you disappeared???<br />
<br />

Please let me know if you have seen it!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I am falling apart at the seams over here! And at a time when I am supposed to be Thankful! I want to take the rest of this post to state what I am thankful for, because so far I feel like I have been a whiny baby and dare I say "impatient"! There have been 7 days in November so far and I have seen a cute trend on Facebook in which people have been posting daily what they are thankful for in honor of Thanksgiving toward the end of the month. So here are my first 7 days!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">1. Zach. (Mostly for putting up with my pregnant, emotional, irrational self, but also for working hard and always trying to come up with new a better ways to take care of his family.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">2. Daley (For putting up with me too, but also for making me laugh. She has a very smart mouth and is very blunt and honest about what is on her mind and I am glad I am able to have a sense of humor about it otherwise I might cry. Zach gets on to me for laughing at her and not disciplining her, but she is so darn funny sometimes!)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">3. My Sweet Demi (For being the light at the end of each day for me. She is so kind hearted and snugly. If she just has a blanky and her baby she will lay in my lap forever and although it is irritating that she wants to be held so often, I am glad she is in the stage of being so loving, because it makes me feel forgiven for my craziness!)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">4. For the roof over my head! (Even though I am ready to sell it I am very fortunate to be in the financial situation I am in of being able to afford a home.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">5. For my job! (There are so many people out there without employment that desire to be employed and I often complain about working when I am really fortunate to have a job at all.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">6. Family (My Mom and Robert, Dad and Jill, Philip, Tiffany, JB, Mother and Father In Law (Mimi and Big Bad), Pearson , Lauren, Peyton, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and Cousins. Without this wonderful support unit my little family would not be thriving!)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">7. Old Friends (Because they so much resemble family in that most of them have been around so long they feel like family, but also because even though we may not speak every day and our friendships may not always be convenient because we are in different places in our lives, I know I could turn to them in the darkest of times without fear of judgement and they make me smile even if the last words shared between us were Happy Birthday on Facebook :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And I'll go ahead and do one for tomorrow because it is silly of me to think I will remember to do this tomorrow too!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">8. New Friends (We are friends because it is convenient and we are in the same place in our lives, and for providing me someone to share this time in my life with!)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Love,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

And Zach's!!!! Daley is also so excited! She has been saying she wanted a brother so bad that we were actually worried about her disappointment had it been a girl, although a girl is what I expected. I had heard that the chance of having a baby of the opposite sex decreased to like 20% after having two of the same sex. A good amount of people I know have been blessed with having this happen, so I REALLY thought that decreased my chances! But, here we are...expecting a boy. His name will be Zachary DeWitt Alsobrook Jr. and we will call him Witt. Wow! It is really like being pregnant all over again for the first time! I get to shop as if I have never had a baby before, outside of the pack and play, swing crib, etc., things that we purchased gender neutral. They aren't the fun things to purchase anyway. I get to do a nursery!!!! And, buy little baby boy clothes! How fun! We have been teaching Demi how to say Witt. she actually sounds like a little German baby pronouncing it more like "Vitt". But she has several months to work this out. ;) According to Baby Center our little man us 5 inches long and weighs 5 ounces. Too bad my weight gain has been slightly more than this! ;) HA! <br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Something I have been struggling with most recently has been the sell of our home. I know, welcome to your life! Everyone seems to be struggling with the sell of their home. But I REALLY want to sell mine! I pray and beg and bargain, everything short of something illegal! I have been reminding myself of this a lot lately....</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

To imagine something not working out for the best and in my timing and not His?!?!?! Doesn't He think my timing is acceptable?!?! It sure seems like good timing to me! It is easy to tell myself to "Let go and Let God" but relatively impossible to put into action. I have a request that you pray I realize I don't know what is best and that there is a bigger plan. It is hard for me to come to terms with my planning possibly not being THE BEST POSSIBLE WAY TO DO THINGS. Is it a woman thing, a wife thing, a Mom thing, or just my inherent stubbornness? Pray God helps me see. ;) And don't answer me directly, especially if you think it is my stubbornness. ;) And if you're feeling generous, pray my house sells! </div><div align="left" class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I sure have enjoyed it! We have done lots of fun things to celebrate the good weather. First, we spent the first two weekends of September in Auburn celebrating VICTORIES! And then last week was not so great for OUR Tigers :( We have also been enjoying several birthday parties. People are really amping up on kids birthdays these days! One party had a snow cone truck come and you got to pick the snow cone of your choice, large size and everything! HEAVENLY! As second birthday party had a bounce house, very fun for the girls and much more affordable than actually having it a bounce house party place (ask me, I know!) <br />
<br />
According to Babycenter Baby Alsobrook #3 is about 3 1/2 inches, about the size of a lemon, and weighs 1 1/2 ounces. ****Newsflash**** I have gained slightly more than 1 1/2 ounces! Let's pray this ratio doesn't keep up. If so, by 40 weeks when the baby is relatively 7 or 8 or 9 lbs, I will be one of those that has to be cut out of her house and transported to the hospital by crane! On the positive side of pregnancy, OCTOBER 5th we will know if Baby Alsobrook #3 is a boy or a girl!!! YIPPEE! This is the most exciting milestone for me outside of when the baby actually gets here! It adds a totally new spin on being pregnant and gives the little black and white skeleton you see in the ultrasounds a whole personality and a name of his or her own. Please, for Zach, hope it is a boy! I would say pray, but the deed is done. I really have to tip my hat to those folks who don't find out! Who are they torturing anyway???<br />
<br />
Sorry I don't have any pictures to attach to the blog! I have not been toting my camera around a lot lately, but maybe I will scrounge some up and post an additional blog. Hey, maybe there will even be more than 1 or 2 blogs this month! Thanks for reading!<br />

We are having a 3rd! <br />
<br />
Surprised? Yes......<br />
Panicked? Yes......<br />
Excited? about another baby actually arriving? YES!.........<br />
<br />
A moment of honesty here...... I think I have been pregnant enough! If you go through this twice you should just get a freebie for the third and the baby just appear! It is true that we wanted a 3rd! We were not quite ready as of yet, but I know that God's plan is not always the same as mine and I am learning to adjust. We had a plan! We were going to go on all these special diets and do all these special things so that God would bless us with a boy! That's how you convince him right, go on diets and do special things?! :) Guess he thought better of that, so here we are! Blessed no doubt, we are super excited about the pending arrival of baby Alsobrook #3! I am a week and a half away from entering my second trimester, so here is what Baby Center says about our little one today.....<br />
<br />
Baby is the size of a kumquat! <br />
Your baby, now barely the size of a kumquat, weighs less than a quarter of an ounce. <br />
(Length: a little over 1 inch, head to bottom.)<br />
<br />
1 inch, huh? I know all of this glorious "getting bigger" stuff happens faster in subsequent pregnancies, but the getting bigger part is my least favorite! Not good news that my pants are already uncomfortable! I went to the doctor again last week and although I haven't actually gained any weight yet, I feel like my clothes already don't fit so great. ;( It was really fun seeing my little man (or lady) wiggle around in there though! In the ultrasound he/she looks like a baby already! And, much bigger than 1 inch I might add! It was very exciting and I found myself already wishing he/she was here. I do realize though that baby would not be so cute outside the womb at this point. That is why the pictures are in black and white, I think! ;) But, the heartbeat was excellent and everything looks great, so we couldn't be happier!<br />
<br />
More changing for us! Now for the past several weeks we have been in a whirl wind trying to get our house in order so that we can put it on the market and sell it and get a bigger house, more suited for ALL of us! It has been on the market for one week as of today and we have had one call. My prayer request for all of this is that I can see clearly God's plan! I do not know what will come of all this, but I am trying to be at peace with it while waiting. If we are meant to be cramped in our little house so our family will have a strong bond then I am trying to be okay with that, but I am also ready for my house to sell because I feel like if we have the means to purchase a larger home, then that is what we should do. Houses are being sold at excellent prices right now, but that also means that our house we are selling is offered at an excellent price, which doesn't feel so excellent! <br />
<br />
So, that is all the news I have for now! We sure are busier, and just when we think we can't get busier we get busier! Apparently we can handle this or it wouldn't be tossed our way! That is what I keep telling myself ;)The Alsobrook Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01830593287917821110noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5987298655774986666.post-72848605825034684462011-08-08T20:52:00.000-05:002011-08-08T20:52:52.638-05:00June and JulyIt seems like I might have been on a blogging hiatus this summer! We have been super busy and having lots of fun! We have been to the beach twice and took a trip to Lake Martin July 4. I have lots of pictures to share below to document the girls as they are ever growing and constantly coming into their own personalities. <br />

Demi has become quite the social butterfly. When we went to the beach with my family she was chatting up everyone within a walking distance. Her favorite toys right now are purses. If she doesn't have a purse she will use anything that could substitute! She grabs buckets and boxes if she can't find her Elmo purse and loads it and unloads it and waves and says "bye bye"! I THINK she might be my girly girl?!?!?! Towards the end of June when Daley's dance class was wrapping up for the summer she couldn't stay away! I have been taking her to most of Daley's dance classes since August of last year and she NEVER showed any interest whatsoever about going in the room, but the last class was awful as she was screaming a pitching a total fit to get in the door. Not so bad except for when we went in to watch she wouldn't sit with me, she wanted to go up there and dance with Daley's class! This has carried on throughout the summer as she has been performing anytime music has played. she entertained a restaurant with her shenanigans later in the month of June when we went to the beach with Zach's family. August 1st Demi will be moving into the big girl class at her school! "One Step Up" is the name of the class. She will no longer require sippy cups to be brought to school because the provide them for us (huge for mom not to pack a bag every morning!) She will sleep on a nap mat! This is a big deal! She has NEVER not slept in a crib or a pack n play! I do not see how they are going to manage to get her to sleep! I can remember switching Daley to a cot at her old day care and I thought the same thing though, so this will probably work out too! Demi is getting to be such BIG GIRL!<br />

Daley is forever becoming such a young lady! She is so sweet and I am not just biased because I am her mother! She is a really sweet kid! I love that when I pick her up everyday her teachers as well as other teachers tell me how sweet she is and what a great kid she is. It is one of the few times that I feel like I must actually be doing an okay job. She is a wonderful big sister to Demi. She always tries to help whenever we ask. Now sometimes she over helps when not asked and i can become a problem, but she is only 4 and some of that is expected. She is very cautious and I mean RARELY does anything ha might cause her to get injured. This summer started and she would not even come off the steps in a swimming pool, so we enrolled her in swim lessons at the YMCA every day for 2 weeks. It was great timing because we left the minute after her last swim lesson to go o the beach and she was jumping off the side of the pool and swimming all over the place. It is so rewarding to watch a child learn and overcome fear! Another thing Daley has come down with a severe illness this summer commonly known as Bieber Fever. Yes.....I originally let her hear the song, but I do not believe that there has been to many days since Spring started that Baby Baby has not played in the car or in the house. Girl has got it bad! Daley will be moving up to the 4K class at her school. They are referred to as the "Challengers". It is hard to believe that our first born is in 4K let alone to process that next year she will be in 5K at an actual elementary school. CRAZY AND SCARY! Daley is a smart girl that knows the difference between right and wrong. The trick is getting her to believe that she knows that and not letting the mere suggestion of another child question that. I know that this is going to be a problem for many many years and that it will only get worse, but I am so proud of her so far!<br />

As both of our girls are beginning a new fall school year it is fun to reflect back on them and how they have grown. :) We are so blessed. A friend of mine on facebook asked friends to share "pearls of wisdom" regarding raising children. One friend wrote to ask your children "what if you woke up today with only what you gave thanks for yesterday?" At first I thought "what a great lesson!?!" Then, I became very disappointed because I don't even know what I gave thanks for yesterday! So, today I am thankful for family and friends and very few material possessions. I would be just fine if tomorrow that was all I had!<br />

I have never really posted anything on the blog regarding Thalassemia as we are lucky and it really doesn't affect Demi so it is not really on the forefront of my thoughts, but I think I should at mention it for the benefit of raising awareness in the few people that may read this blog regarding the more severe patients with this blood disease. <br />
<br />
Thalassemia is a blood disease that originated in the Mediterranean Region which is where 50% of my family originated. There are two types of Thalassemia: Minor and Major and fortunately Demi only possesses the Minor type. This will virtually have no effect on her life whatsoever except for she will require some genetic counseling when she is old enough to think about having children on her own as 2 Thalassemic Minors make up a Major. Thalassemia is a genetic defect in which their is a reduced rate or no rate of synthesis in the globin chains that make up the hemoglobin, thus causing her to test anemic. Some symptoms of anemia include fatigue and we have taken into consideration that this may be why she is so sleepy.<br />
<br />
Demi is a powerhouse sleeper. Most nights she goes to bed around 7 p.m. and I have to wake her up for school in the morning, otherwise on weekends she sleeps until 8:30 or 9 a.m. In talking with a lot of my "mommy friends" I realize that I am lucky as both of my children are that way. I can understand Daley's sleeping in since she is a night owl much like her Dad, but Demi goes to bed so early. There are a host of other symptoms though of which to our knowledge she has never experienced. Surely not pale skin....she appears to be dark like her Mommy. Surely no decrease in appetite....Demi is a little chubber and LOVES to eat, often times I am in awe of her ability! <br />
<br />
May 1, 2011 was the 1st Annual Care Walk sponsored by the Cooley's Anemia Foundation and the Thalassemia Action Group. The closest one in our area was in Georgia, but there were several across the country. There is not much awareness regarding Thalassemia because it affects so few people in our region, but this is the greatest form of awareness we have come across so far and unfortunately I didn't know about it on May 1, 2011, but next year it will be April 29, 2012 and I may be calling on you to walk with me and help raise money to raise awareness as well as fund seeking treatment.<br />

Destination birthday parties are definitely the best, and they are the fondest memory I have of my birthdays as a kid, but there is a reason that you only get one or two of them, because they are EXPENSIVE! It was totally worth it though to see how much fun she had and the smile on her face. We had a small hang up with a carpet burned elbow, but other than that she was having a ball. I didn't get a whole lot of pictures as Pump it Up parties are my favorite too, but I did post the few that I got below.<br />

This weekend we had <a href="http://aebakerfamily.blogspot.com/">Will Baker's</a> Birthday party. Will is a friend of Demi's that is about one month younger than her. As you can see below he had a great time and so did all the big kids "helping" him open all of his gifts. It was also really pretty outside and a great opportunity for me to attempt to get a photo of Daley and Demi in a matching outfit. The photos are okay....I only wish I could get Demi to cooperate! I don't remember this being a huge deal with Daley, but with Demi it is next to IMPOSSIBLE to make her look at the camera!<br />
<br />
After Will's Birthday Demi was exhausted so we took her home and Zach stayed with her and I took Daley to the Carnival in Trussville to meet her Cousin JB, Uncle Philip, Aunt Tiffany, Yia Yia and Berts. She had a great time. She was able to ride most of the rides. I should get some type of award though for keeping her out of the bounce house as there were boys in there that looked to be 12 years old or better that would have flattened her like a pancake! <br />
<br />
I am glad that we got another weekend to play outside and enjoy our friends. I also would like to wish <a href="http://jandbvakakes.blogspot.com/">John Vakakes</a> (a dear friend from Church) and <a href="http://thebrantleyfamily.blogspot.com/">Laura Brantley</a> (a dear friend for the better portion of my life who also turned 30) Happy Birthdays this week! <br />
<br />
Love,<br />
<br />
Lindsey<br />

And poor Demi had a fever!<br />
<br />
Demi is doing good now. Zach was able to leave work early Thursday when they called from school and asked us to come and get her. I called and immediately got her an appointment and they said it was her ears. She has been on antibiotics and has been at home. I stayed home from work with her on Friday and since then she has been doing and feeling great. Friday was only when the great weather merely started to make an appearance though, so it wasn't like we were stuck in doors the whole weekend at all. Saturday and Sunday we were able to get out and do a couple of fun things. Saturday night we cooked out with friends and Sunday after Church we went to the park for a sweet baby friend Alexa's first Birthday Party! The weather was absolutely gorgeous and the girls had a blast. I am so excited for many weekends to come like this one. I will never get sick of great weather!<br />
<br />
I really just love this time of year! I love everything about spring except for maybe the pollen which is not in full force yet. What's not to like other than that though? Cute clothes for the girls! Outdoor activities........ swimming, beaching, parks or heck.....just hanging out in the backyard! Daylight savings time ensued this weekend and this makes me oh, so happy! I will never understand why it needs to be dark at 5 p.m.. It is just silly! There is so much we can do after work and school now and it makes my house run much more smoothly. I can cook while at least Daley is playing in the backyard. Zach and I have actually committed to start running together too! We did our first 5-K together last weekend. I thought he would not be interested in this at all and now that he has run one he is totally set on improving his time and wants to do another race! All child illnesses pending I think we will be running in Crestline this weekend.<br />
<br />
I love taking pictures of the girls in the Spring because the colors are bright and the scenery is beautiful! I have posted a few of our racing pics below and some pics from Alexa's birthday party. I think my camera will be making more appearances with me in weeks to come so stay tuned!<br />

We had a great time! There was another party going on at the exact same time and he was also celebrating his first birthday, so it was a little hard to keep our parties seperated. We even had a sweet little boy from our party climb up on the table of the other party and start eating their cup cakes. I think that is the best part of these brithdays though. Stories like that! These kids are just precious at this age! We are so happy that so many of our family and friends were able to come and we enjoyed celebrating this milestone so much with our sweet Demi!<br />

This week our baby will be 1! And my "our baby" I mean mine, Zach's and Daley's! Daley is very quick to correct you and tell you that Demi is her baby too and in so many ways she is! It is so hard to believe that a year has gone by since our sweet Demi came into this world! One year and 9 months actually because that is how long we have known about and been planning for her. I can remember right before we had Demi, sitting on my bed and crying because having Demi meant Daley was not the baby anymore. Oh how it was going to change Daley's life! Daley has gotten to be such a big girl as a result of becoming a big sister and I am so proud of her for it! I would never change their age difference for anything in the world! Daley was able to help us feed Demi her bottles when we were in a rush in the mornings for work. She loved to feed her jars of baby food, even though sometimes the mess was not worth the help. She plays with her and was eager to teach her to crawl and has been right behind her nudging (sometimes pushing) her along all the way to this special day. The way I talk you would think she raised her all by herself and while that is definitely not the case I also don't know how we would have made it with out her. Of course we would have made it, but I can't imagine how different things would be. <br />
<br />
<div style="border: medium none;">Demi was the perfect addition to our set up. She is like our family mascot! OUR AUBIE! No matter if we are winning or losing, good day or bad, she has a smile and a way about her that can cheer you up just by being in her presence. Her gruff and raspy little laugh! I wouldn't trade it for anything! When the alarm goes off at 5:30 a.m. we are exhausted and then we get to wake up Daley and have a royal throw down about what she is going to wear and what she is going to eat (see....Daley and her Dad share the same morning attitude) and then Demi gets up and she is grinning from ear to ear. No matter if you wake her or she wakes on her own she is so happy! Zach was obsessed with her saying Da-da before she said Ma-ma since he lost that battle with Daley, and it is so funny because she has been saying in now for like 4 or 5 months and just now every so often musters up a Ma-ma. While I long for the day that she says my name and actually knows what it means it has been a true pleasure to watch him hop-to her every command because he is so excited she "chose" to say his name first.</div><div style="border: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border: medium none;">Someone once said that having a child is to forever have your heart go walking around outside your body. That is the truest thing and the best description I could ever put into words regarding what it feels like to be a mother. It is a huge risk to think that your heart is outside your body walking around, but for it to take a life form and to watch "her" little characteristics that you can tell our yours and your husbands is the most joyous experience. It is such a responsibility, but one that can produce so much joy! Don't get me wrong, I definitely can see our bad characteristics walking around out there too. Having Daley is like having my heart and my sassy mouth out there except I have less control over her mouth than I do my own, and I know there is more to come of that!</div><div style="border: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border: medium none;">In so many words, we all are so honored that God picked Demi to join our family and while not a whole lot is definable about her personality yet we definitely look forward to all the rest of her years in our life and discovering her personality as it grows!</div><br />
Happy Birthday Demster!<br />

I wish I had pictures to post, but I don't because I wasn't there. :( You will have to ask my loving husband to show you his as he left us to go witness the most exciting event in Auburn football in 50 some odd years!

This year we stayed in Birmingham with my family and got to share Thanksgiving with all of my relatives and it was nice to see Demi and Jameson (my nephew) to get to share their first Holidays together. Jameson was actually around last year for Thanksgiving, but I don't think he ever even got out of the car seat, so this was his "real first Thanksgiving"! </p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5569127640762255010" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_vtOkSO1hLPG9RATCZL5kIhFqsTmC-v6Cv8Qz-aWoa3VsunPUio3vuyCP16sBYlTg0Eh8s5RUvWXtzIAnp7rPXTA05dnYHsU5T9G7wCrkcAqCAmcNP5OYx6qQ7XgWA-U5QOkK5xhtY7uu/s320/IMAG0139.jpg" /> <p align="center"><strong>My little Turkey at her Thanksgiving Feast at school</strong></p><p align="left">Christmas was a blast starting off with a party at my Uncle Jimmy's Christmas Eve Eve. Christmas Eve we went over to my Aunt Lisa's to share with My Dad's side of the family. all was well until Daley started feeling bad. She did not get to go over to Aunt Agatha's with us to hang out with my Mom's side of the family and Christmas morning she woke up with a 103 fever! Yuck! She was not in her best spirits on Christmas morning, but she still appreciates her and Demi's new Wii and their new trampoline!!!! We have jumped on the trampoline only a few times since the weather has NOT been the greatest and we have been freezing nearly to death, but she talks about how she can't wait for it to get warmer so we can jump all the time!

Our sweet little <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Demi</span> started her journey with our Lord Saturday, September 11, 2010.

Which by the way did not go as well as the first. The first game she was so into the game and on her feet cheering. This time she could have cared less and continuously wanted to get up and walk around etc. As a result we left sometime in the beginning of the 3rd Quarter. She said she wanted to go back out to the tailgate and I tried my very best to explain to her that no one was out there they were all inside the game like us. When we got out to the tailgate she was of course upset that no one was out there! Fortunately Jimmy and Mary <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">Velotas</span> tailgate close by and there were a few people down there to hang out with and watch the end of the game. Then my sweet friend Nichole Bush walked up with two out of three of her kids Taylor and Bella and all the kids proceeded to have their own football game in the grassy area. They had a great time and if it took us leaving in the 3rd quarter to turn the game around and Auburn win in OT to beat Clemson.....then it was all worth it!</div><div></div><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong></strong> </div><div><strong>3.</strong>Our sweet <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">Demi</span> has gotten her first two bottom teeth in! I took a pic below, but it is hard to see as they are still very small and only one is all the way in. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">Demi</span> has been such a joyful addition to our family this past 7 months.

She was on her feet cheering to the top of her lungs the whole game! She had the best time. I think she probably understood more about the game then I did. I only wish she could go to every game with us, however I am sure Zach does not share this wish with me ;) It is hard to keep up with her especially at the tailgate where it is so easy for her to wonder off and get lost in the crowd, lucky for us she LOVES the RV and that is where we could find her most of the time. The absolute excitement she got in the week leading up to this game was such a build up for her. She and Zach watched old Auburn football games everynight together the week leading up to this game. The excitement on her face as a parent is the most wonderful thing to witness as a parent! I posted some pics below and some of them are a hoot!</div><br /><div></div><div>Love,</div><div></div><br /><br /><div>Lindsey</div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516580938568120882" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi92O60TMtYQzPd7AfUQ3ojjYejuQtTIj3SJgHchstE7sjSiwIr2xRz_5azMYS9cyESHSR7dvDxcpZ8HqwsgrBiSjotWwxI-1piDBtLOK1bzFqgGNvOcnCePOghC2TxsQ_lvbNzWsxpOZKH/s320/47476_868740579821_7026043_47040940_6892585_n.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516580947430561026" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSaOnwKldP3G5gdql4izx_LAL3V-luTb69xM7gQzAAOEjBwwykY9hrSaFm97mRpmqACeBGIc3dnZ8DQ5vs6kqkoFZ01vLUHEig-rR1UI3Wn6eAVr5RJ_OdqtE6K3Fy31m0tQKFydUjTmm6/s320/58477_868751448041_7026043_47041077_7759517_n.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516580950715517138" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtiHc13O8nx6lhCzEwQUtHEWR6bmQlA8BGPmi8Nnv04gq7FLLBx6pd_i-8OBz-zOYezGeZmkHZ7BlMBJfTDIIMcyTAE_2nerRT-3LtuPzkix-lX9IKEVm1IGI3t8cekg5reXPa1MYhsznV/s320/daley+cheer.bmp" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516580929545287410" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOCkMFMXxrcg_yskfwugnjzo59OPDZ2lXw1gWa2nMADg9fzZj6u7Zpn6YTot4IYpJTp18COLhVbiP0yrIkYNzQIYmyDN1i3P-v7BDvs60QZ4odbSsX5nVGjbhJw6OlK7D1ZsVie0kl-jbS/s320/46630_869145548261_7026043_47052176_8010021_n.jpg" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5NisGxafqek3cOtnSe3iVhC4tXQuc36Jtb1OKs25rVjI-dgCROlfbTB9c0qo9pdMFNtg-eubu5Xd9X_F1cHwnhGPOQGhibS408VNkxnfVrmWFAfCnPL9uMMbeKkjbelzCFy0Oju9KypG9/s1600/untitled.bmp"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516580965229335922" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5NisGxafqek3cOtnSe3iVhC4tXQuc36Jtb1OKs25rVjI-dgCROlfbTB9c0qo9pdMFNtg-eubu5Xd9X_F1cHwnhGPOQGhibS408VNkxnfVrmWFAfCnPL9uMMbeKkjbelzCFy0Oju9KypG9/s320/untitled.bmp" /></a>The Alsobrook Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01830593287917821110noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5987298655774986666.post-81784632035403940632010-08-29T20:59:00.000-05:002010-08-29T21:17:04.181-05:00Smile! ;)<div>We got surprise pictures made of our girls! The girls have been at their new school "First United Methodist Church of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Trussville</span>" since the first week of August. I suppose a letter was sent out right before we started stating that there would be pictures made, but because we weren't <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">there</span> yet we weren't informed. Thursday the pictures came in and everyone was up in front sorting through their pictures. At first I was kind of glad we didn't have pictures...especially watching ALL the parents try to find their child's pictures all at 5:00 p.m. Yikes! Anyway, they asked if I had gotten my pictures and since I didn't know anything about it I said "No, I think these were taken before we started" and left. Friday I came to pick the girls up and there was a huge note on <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Demi's</span> daily report saying WE DID HAVE PICTURES! They guy was super apologetic that we didn't get them the day before, but he had misfiled them under them name <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Demi</span> Moore. HA! I was like "the actress?" and he said "I knew that name sounded too familiar!" So....the pics are posted below and I thought they turned out pretty decent since I had no idea they were being made. I could have spruced the girls up a little bit, or a least brushed Daley's hair, Ha! ;) They are a really cool sepia color and the outfits were provided for each child. I got a super huge discount on the price since they didn't have them for me on Thursday, which was super generous of them. I hope you like them as much as I did and I hope I don't think they are cute just because I didn't know they were being made ;)<br /></div><div>Love,</div><div></div><br /><div>Lindsey<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipRQqd1GbkBjchMNJso8MAeMU1J0ftT-KrhIwstlOSohddHYR5CTrMCmd13vxJEowHOuKqNSUX0S7bnMSYKzSxBl0_4sGi9SHn_Y1HJoN22c7J3URwTegXCmdTWEW2p0rM-wkLDrScNmPi/s1600/school+pics5.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 225px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511020511578041522" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK43DUOj2hKlzdQgoqcIFbTtV81t5RbR6UFdktuk-dPHgdj25a20IwKvQ5FKIvvDD_9Kr2eMPPiwrrw8rQv70jDG525c-IXB13xZHvCu91EcbcY0Y2M_rYLPYi1NIqDflmJF7JDm9eCoPu/s320/school+pics.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 222px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511020517000869074" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb9CqcDRwl933xhtIdFIQfydORo7wn9yFX7drP9z_jIVIVhXccMT9S_fxym9TxLdWGwJ51SJ7u6YO11WoHz1qTIQtuHEw5WtlL_DZu1z1Z8c85i8zve03qrBQ-h1lDjt_MWRXyHm9eZ_kh/s320/school+pics2.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 215px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511020545662215906" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNOoZ6-_olVdy514MXXYD03nx8xilI8TtWDNj1r8-jYnZG8SmmUYj9s6Uk99hE8eJ8XBsqwBJ0BCbqyzaGljCeUlMrEakfHWSYC9_DQP5DQEmgsP7mHNWDDh1dEOl6Mk0tRXTGcCeysTYa/s320/school+pics3.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 228px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511020526801260306" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuQ2V-qd4lOXxT6MnTSLXrH6klUYHEwdN29pi5XQUw9ef9maW7o0zKDNXHnv-MIwpXcaMfKIjEehMPii3hvKiPM8ZcZORXh9ClqzUKSPzzAZ12RZLROw1G_mNn2mlwyfa6EIBPKWPgiwTA/s320/school+pics4.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 231px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511020559650685650" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipRQqd1GbkBjchMNJso8MAeMU1J0ftT-KrhIwstlOSohddHYR5CTrMCmd13vxJEowHOuKqNSUX0S7bnMSYKzSxBl0_4sGi9SHn_Y1HJoN22c7J3URwTegXCmdTWEW2p0rM-wkLDrScNmPi/s320/school+pics5.jpg" /></a> </div>The Alsobrook Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01830593287917821110noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5987298655774986666.post-71846910141639004242010-08-21T19:03:00.000-05:002010-08-21T19:33:26.000-05:00Alsobrook WeddingPearson and Lauren were married in Charlotte, NC July 31, 2010. Our sweet Daley was their flower girl and this was <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Demi's</span> farthest trip so far! Maybe Daley's too??? We were so proud of Daley for the great job she did as their flower girl and we are SO HAPPY for Pearson and Lauren!<br /><br />It was a wonderful weekend! It started Friday with the bridesmaids lunch at the Rolling Hills Country Club. That night was the rehearsal and the rehearsal dinner which had an amazing band and our poor girls were out way too late but everyone had a great time! Zach, Revel and Peyton did their traditional <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Alsobrook</span> Wedding Performance of Ice Ice Baby. I guess it is unfortunately a staple now if you are a family member getting married. I think Zach secretly wishes he were a rapper???<br /><br />Saturday was the wedding day and it was absolutely beautiful! It was wonderful seeing Pearson and Lauren profess their love for each other in front of their family and close friends. Daley did a great job with her flower girl duties and everything went great without a hitch! I haven't gotten any professional pictures back yet. I got a preview of a few of them from Lauren's photographer's website, but I will post those as soon as I get some copies. In the mean time we took a couple family pictures that I wanted to share with my <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">bloggers</span>!<br /><br />I hope all of you had a great summer and are looking as forward to the fall as we are!

On July 15<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span>??? Hey, I blog when I can! We had a great 4<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span> of July weekend! We went to the lake with Zach's family and their very good friends, the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Taylors</span>. It is a family tradition that these two families get together each year to celebrate our country's birthday and we feel fortunate to be included each year with our constant growing family.<br /><br />Most of our time Sunday was spent on the boat on the TERRIBLY rough water of Lake Martin. Lakes are just getting more crowded and more crowded every day and the 4<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span> is of course EVEN MORE CROWDED! My back hurt for about 2 or three days after. I only go to the lake about once a year these days though, so maybe it was worth it.<br /><br />Thanks to Ryan Taylor I was able to do a lot more relaxing than I expected. She is Doug and Beth's daughter and she absolutely loves babies and she was so good with <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">Demi</span>! Daley and Dad had a great time on the wave runner (pic posted below) and we had a wonderful 4<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span> of July BBQ that night (thanks to Uncle Doug's Big Green Egg) and a fire work show to follow courtesy of Peyton <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">Alsobrook</span>.

Thank goodness for no oil yet! I think that is all we could ask for, and we got that and wonderful weather as well. There were a couple late night storms that got pretty bad, but wonderful weather all day long! It is amazing that both of Zach's brothers were able to make the trip and "Aunt to be" Lauren. It is so hard to get families together these days and I was glad to have everyone there.<br /><br /><br /><br />Daley got a few good swimming lessons from Dad and Uncle Peyton and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Demi</span> got in the water for the fist time! Both girls had a great time and we all got a good tan.I have posted a few pics below to document our trip.

I was a little worried in the beginning that we were paying all this money for recital and she may not even dance, so I wasn't expecting much, but was very hopeful. But she did dance!<br /></div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">At rehearsal she did not dance her first song (ballet) but she did dance her second song (tap) and she fell in love with the stage. I feel like her first song she was a little nervous and didn't really know what to expect, but when she got back stage I just told her to watch the little TV that showed them the dance steps or to watch the girls around her and she did just that. The next day when we got to the recital as soon as we put her costume on she was all smiles. She was dancing all over the place and running and laughing. I was just so overjoyed to see her have such a great time. I really don't think I have ever seen her have that much fun before! Now I am super pumped because this is what I did for 16 years of my life on the exact same stage at the exact same dance studio. I wasn't going to be disappointed if she didn't like it as much as I did mostly because I didn't think she acted like she was going to, but now that she loves it, I am obsessed!!! I have already been talking about getting her enrolled in gymnastics for the rest of the summer so she won't get bored while waiting on dance to start back in the fall.<br /></div><div align="left">I promise on this blog to whoever reads not to be one of those moms who lives vicariously through their daughters, but what is wrong with seeing someone enjoy something just like you did when you were little?
