Potty Prodigy!

Those of you who know Alexa well wouldn't be surprised to know that she's asked to go potty on the toilet and then actually did!! She tells us when she poops and just about every time when she pees. I imagine she will be potty trained the fastest!

Dinner with The Schmucks....I mean Solbergs!!

Well this doesn't happen often maybe 4x a week...ok, more like 2x a week but it's always worth it when we do all sit down together! Joe is there! I see the top of his bald head!
Everyone has to sit REALLY close so they can play more than eat, of course! Chicken nuggets and mac n cheese...The boys eat the nuggets and the girls eat everything!
Jack had went to the dentist earlier that day and had 2 very large cavities. The doc gave him Novocaine and he bit his lip multiple times and must've been hard because his lip ballooned so bad that I thought we were going to have to take him to the ER!!
Jack and Ava look like they're discussing something? I don't remember but they were probably arguing over who did something first, better and best!

Jack always such a good big brother

John always finds Jack hilarious!

Lex was actually sitting in her chair...

LOL! Ava's mean face! I caught her in action scolding Alexa!

Ha, Ha...close up of the "mean face"

So, then Jack had to do a "mean face"!

and then Ava again....

Even Alexa has a "mean face"!

Picture time...It's a long one.....

JOE JOE!!!

Johnny chasing Ava! Worthy of a picture after him being sick for 2wks!

Never thought I'd want or have a blue/hazel eye'd kid since Jeff and I have brown eyes but OH these eyes make me melt!!

Picture is fuzzy but had to post it! Johnny is happy in this picture....there's a ball involved!

Handsome Jack!!

Those cute fat wide feet!!

LOVE this!!

They all love him dearly!

Ava got her first medal at her gymnastics recital! This was one of my favorite days of the year! It's something to watch your child not only excel at something but be so happy doing it!! She ROCKS!

Ava and Zoe after the recital!

They all LOVE their big bro!!

Up to no good= SMILES :)

I've been taking photography classes and love it! Some of these pics are good and others not so good (usually become blck/whte)! I'm enjoying practicing on these 5 beautiful kids and capturing some precious memories at the same time!!

Good Bye for now....

I'm a Big Kid Now...

Love My Joe Joe!!




Mr Joe Joe is sitting up! I can't even believe he's going to be 6mnths tomorrow! It's going too fast! I want him to be this age FOREVER! Except, I'd love it if he was sleeping through the night!

Happy Birthday Jackson!

It's been awhile and a lot exciting milestones have happened for Jack in the mean time! He turned '5' and he graduated Pre-K4 and is on to kindergarten!!

Jack celebrated with all of his family and got to have a friend birthday party this year (I'm sure he'll have one next year too)!

Jackson graduated a different person! He's extremely outgoing and LOVES his friends! He's still one of the sweetest little boys I've ever met! He graduated with just about all "3's" (exceeding expectations) but embarrassingly didn't know his address, city or state!! Oops!!

We're so very proud of you Jackson Christopher and can't wait to see what you accomplish in kindergarten!!

I'm Back....

I haven't posted in a VERY long time! Things have calmed down here a bit so I plan to blog once a week, we'll see how it goes! Things have been great here! Joey is an amazing addition to our family! He's so darn cute, I just wanna hold him all day and do most of the time! Jeff and I thought he'd get no attention and the he seems to get the most some days! We're enjoying this little guy! I think I smell his head 50x a day!! He will most likely be the last so I want to remember that smell forever!

Enjoy the family picture we had done in January...

Boys....less one!

I always seem to take a lot more pics of the girls so I thought I'd post some pics of the boys I took a couple weeks ago! Jackson and John are still great friends even though Johnny's been much more busy these days. Following in his big bros footsteps at this age Johnny is into cars, trucks and balls! They are also the SWEETEST little boys! I always thought girls would be sweeter (sugar and spice and everything nice, right??) for us it's the boys!
Jackson is Mr Popular these days....with the ladies! We were at the museum the other day and on the make believe stage there were a whole bunch of girls dressed as Princesses that Ava was trying to befriend. They quickly zeroed in on Jack and before I knew it all the girls were chasing him! He loved it, Ava didn't!! Can you say Ferris Bueller!!!! LOL!!

Johnny! All I have to say is that his wife is going to hate it when I move in with them!!
