Ted's jail time

So yesterday was such a stressful and sad day for us. Ted got out the night before and apparently had gotten hit by a car per our neighbors. Of course, we thought the worse. I didn't sleep all night and was worried and sad the next morning. It was such an awful feeling that I honestly have never felt before. I went to the humane society yesterday morning to put in a list dog report and I posted fliers all over the place. I thought we had lost him completely. However, I got a call from the humane society at 2:00 telling me that he was brought in and that he was fine.  It was such a great felling. All the worry and stress completely vanished and it was replaced with happiness. I was on a natural high. I went to the pound and picked him up and he was just fine. He had a little bloody nose and a bloodshot eye but overall, he was ok. I took him home and surprised the kids. They were so happy to see him. It was a great day!

Fun times

The Alvas came over today to have dinner and spend the last moments of Memorial Weekend with us. The girls had a blast playing with each other. They drove the motorized mustang, hide and seek and played in the playroom with each other. We had delicious fish tacos, courtesy or Robert. The day turned out so nice. Too bad we have to go back to work tomorrow.

Memorial weekend

Julianna hates the splits

Julianna, you have been doing gymnastics on the CAT team for almost a year now and you are doing great! You are the youngest one on the team but you are hanging in there and keeping up with the older girls. The one thing you really hate is the splits. Sometimes you even cry when you do them. Luckily, you will get your splits soon and they won't hurt anymore.

Julianna's 5th birthday

Julianna, today we had a little BBQ to celebrate your 5th birthday. We had a few friends over and had a very nice time. It was so cute to see you have so much fun and to really enjoy yourself. You have grown up so much and are just so pretty and just adorable. It makes me so happy yo just see you happy. This was a great day!

Karina

My little Karina, you are so grown up now.  You are speaking so well and you are acting like a little girl.  You love to play with your sisters.  Your favorite TV show is Peppa Pig.  You watch it every day and even snort like Peppa the pig.  Its so cute.  You love to dance and run around.  You also love to scream very very loud.  That is not your best quality :/ I am having so much fun watching you grow!

Christmas in February with the Alvas

We didnt get to spend Christmas or New Years with the Alvas this year because we were all out of town. Unfortunately, we had to wait until February to see each other because the Alva clan was sick for most of January. So, on February 10th, the Alva clan came over and we had a blast. The girls played until the very last minute, we didn't have too many dramatic moments and we got to spend quality time with everyone. It was a great Sunday!
