New Day, New Design

Today, I had a lazy day on the computer. My children played with Daddy and I spent quality time teaching myself a new trick........changing the design of my blog. No more boring blogger templates. Hope you like it - it sure kept by brain engaged with something other than The Wiggles! Now that I know how to do it, I may change it more often.

Birthday Not So Bash

When you get to my age - no, it's not that old - and you are so busy with preschoolers, the big birthday bash goes out the window. Colton asked me on my birthday when we were going to eat the cake. I asked him if he had a cake. He was so surprised that there was no cake. Not to worry, we had birthday dinner with Granny and Grandpa a few days later and Colt, Cam and I devoured Chili's Molten Chocolate Cake pretty quickly. Yummy! Thank you Granny and Grandpa.

The Fourth is the Third

Even though most people already know because my husband announced it on his blog first, we found out this week that we are having another girl. Only new news is that I am the one with the pictures. Enjoy! This makes boy, girl, girl, girl. And no, we are not planning on trying for another boy :)

Technical Difficulties

I am attempting to make several posts that included pictures and everytime I go to insert the file, my computer freezes and I am finished. Hang in there for some cute pix once I work out the bugs.

The Gift of a Bible

Life without sugar!

Poor Cassidy......she did not get to eat any of the yummy ice cream. She really enjoyed her tortilla, though. She only has to wait 8 more months before she can have the good stuff. Her brother and sister like to remind her of that fact. (They had to wait, too!)

Those Good Ol' Summer Days

I am trying my hand at uploading videos. This is not the one I wanted to use, but the 'ideal video' is too large for the host company. The kids had a great time swimming this past summer. Colton is a little water bug. As long as he has goggles, he can go and do as he pleases without assistance. Campbell stuck to her arm floaties for most of the summer until there was about 3 days left in the season. One day, she just decided she did not need them.....only to find out that she did need them. She has not had them on since, but pretty much sticks to the steps. Casssidy, well what can I say, she's a momma's girl and just likes for me to hold her. She was not a fan of the splash pad either. We have joined a new fitness club that will open next week just across the street from our neighborhood. Not only am I looking forward to the excercise benefits, but the pools are to be spectacular. There are indoor and outdoor pools with slides and the beach entry that will be perfect for Cass. Look for more pictures soon!

Posting More?????

Well, I can't make any promises, but I would like to make more posts. Stay tuned. Until then...........The Linos have started 2009 off in a flurry of activity. Both of the big kids started gymnastics this week, Cubbies is back in full swing, and of course there are thr routine things to keep me busy. Cassidy is walking now and we find out soon the gender of the fourth little Lino. I will let you know as soon as we know!

Hi Pops
