Witty Post Title...

The past couple weeks have been a bit crazy. The kids all came down with Hand, Foot and Mouth disease. The all started out feeling miserable, then they get a really high fever followed by a nasty rash and general grumpyness. It luckly didn't hit them all at once, but kind of overlapped. I guess either way would have been bad. We had a few sleepless nights, but I'm happy to report they are all doing much better. Over the past couple weeks we also found out that our condo in San Diego finally sold. It is such a huge blessing to have that off our hands. Josh is doing awesome. He is literally into everything and keeping us on our toes. He loves books and is always bringing one over to be read. Ashley is starting to crawl up on her hands and knees, its the cutest thing. Austin literally climbs on everything. I swear that kid is going to keep me the busiest. It's been pretty busy and I didn't get a chance to take as many pictures as I would have liked. I'm grateful my cell phone has a camera so I can capture some of the cute things they are always doing.

Austin loves to wrestle. If anyone is on the floor he will wrestle them. He especially loves climbing on Ashley, most of the time she's cool with it.

Thought we should start teaching Josh to drive a little early.
Bedtime is seriously like a circus, by time the kids are all down we're pretty worn out.
Just an example of our little climber.

He hung out on the bottom of the toy shelf for quite awhile.

Ashley sat by and watched. She loves crawling and sitting up on her own. Josh loves getting things off the kitchen shelf. This day he found the oats. He worked and worked until he got the lid off. He was so proud of himself he had to share his victory with the twins.

Josh found our stash of wrapping paper. It kept the kids entertained for awhile, so I didn't mind.

Pudding time. The kids are all good about sitting still long enough for some pudding.

Our first lunch out where all the kids could sit up to the table. The twins loved it.

Poor Josh was so sick, if he wasn't napping in his bed then he was watching Mickey on this little makeshift bed. The twins wanted to be held all the time, so we'd take turns holding each of the babies. Ty was able to come home from work early on a couple days to help me out.

We went to Chili's yesterday and thought we'd see what the kids thought of lemon wedges...loved them! Especially Josh and Ashley, they couldn't get enough!

Yup, more pictures.

This past week has been a lot of fun. The kids are all doing well, Josh has even started sleeping through the night again. He has a couple more teeth coming in, but now that they have broken through he is sleeping a lot better. The twins are doing well, they love being mobile and still love to follow Josh around. Tyler has a four day weekend, we're excited to have him home!!

Now that its starting to get cooler we're spending a lot more time on our patio. The kids love it.

Austin love to get under my chair while I work on the computer.

We ran into baseball pitcher Randy Johnson while we were out shopping. Ty was pretty excited to meet him.

Josh didn't even make it into the store before he fell asleep.

Austin like to crawl up and then Josh jumps...they love it.

He's starting to climb...oh no!

Church is also a lot of fun, the kids are all over the place.

Josh loves it when we go out to eat. He loves trying all kinds of food and is an amazing little eater!
Very excited about the firetruck!

Josh learned how to open doors this week. I thought I was busy before, but its now gone up to a whole other level.

Another fun week

Mirror, Mirror on the wall...who's the biggest mischeif maker of them all??

Once again Austin has found himself in a tight spot.

They love to swarm Daddy when he gets home from work.

Daddy was eating some ice cream...Josh really wanted some!

Breakfast time. They all gather around to share a bowl of oatmeal.
