Brother from another mother

Frank has already found his buddy here. We are really happy for him as he has been missing his bro Logan. It seems as if their friendship has been growing since the womb as we have visited the Delunes on and off for the last 6 years.

Camerons 3rd Birthday II

I couldn't pass Cameron's actual birthday pass by without a little celebration. It's good to have family close by every visit ends up being a party. SO MUCH FUN!!

Alison's Baptism

As soon as we got to Oregon, there was no time to rest Micah had to go down to be with Grandma Sue and my side of the family didn't even give me time to unpack before the get togethers started pouring in. The first I am thankful that I was able to attend, my niece Alison got baptized. I am soo Proud of her!! Pyper was such a good sport after being in that car seat non stop during the trip west, endured it a little more. What a great kiddo!! Afterward we all went out to dinner and took up half the place!

OK Micah and I cannot seem to agree on this one we stumbled across these cute little creatures while in Utah I think they are prairie dogs and Micah seems to think they are chipmunks. Any Guesses? They lived underground in a series of burrows.

I always thought that chipmunks had a white and black stripe down their backs but who know maybe I watched too much Chip and Dale rescue rangers when I was young

The Journey West

Going from Illinois to Oregon was very tiring, the family was split into the two cars. We were sad to leave behind our friends and half our stuff but as we neared our destination we became excited with what our future might hold for us.
We stopped at friends and families houses along the way and were able to rest and catch up.































Kids were very happy when we made it to Utah!























Pyper snoozing while we were visiting with the Coveys.








































Chloe got some much needed one on one time.

Camerons 3rd Birthday

We had Cameron's party early this year so she could spend it with her favorite people before we left.











We had it at Chuckie Cheese since our house was full of boxes and the electric company turned off the power a couple days early! Turned out to be great fun!




Lucky Duck ended up with two parties!









Frank found that he could have fun even though it was a "girly party"

With our house packed up the waiting to leave was on the front of all our minds. Trying not to go crazy we were constantly trying to keep busy.
























































We enjoyed going to the park and watching the kids go crazy. They had a lot of fun and it proved a great way to spend the morning before it got too hot.

Chloe

Chloe is our clown pup. If she every went missing the best way to describe her is a attention loving mop. Her personality and talents have been blossoming lately and we have found that she loves to play with just about anything that she can get her teeth into, including the outside push broom.

Last weeks in Illinois

Our Little Sarah Connor




We are really excited to be moving back home after spending almost five years here in Illinois. Since most of the house is packed up and the hot weather we have been finding our selves playing more outside. We also finally made it to the dirt race track right next to our house and watched the races. After hearing them every weekend in the spring and summer you think we would have gone sooner. Frankie and Cameron loved it especially when they crashed of the wheels came up around the corners. Pyper on the other hand slept through most of it. (Got to love earplugs) Frank has found his new passion which is scooting around on his scooter trying to jump off of things and seeing how many cuts and bruises he can get. He likes to tell the stories behind his battle scars. Cameron has found a friend in Trixie and carries that dog everywhere.

Pyper is finally home!

Pyper is finally home!

After a scare of Pyper not breathing when we got home on tuesday we went to the hospital and was transferred by ambulance to Childrens Hospital in St. Louis. After a a couple of days there we are finally done with the pokes and prods and are so gratful to be home.

Coming in like a Lion, yet sleeping like a lamb

Right before my water broke the area went into a tornado watch and everybody was sitting in the hallways. So far she just loves to be held by mommy and usually is content to fall fast asleep. Everybody is doing well and we will probably be going home on Tuesday. After spending most of the night gazing at her I figured that she looks a lot like her big brother though she still reminds me of her big sister with all her little facial expressions.

Happy Birthday Pyper!!!

Pyper Dulce Spicer is finally here!! At 8 lbs 14.7 she quite the little sugar plum.
