Michele doesn't know I am posting these, but it won't be a secret for long! :)

Okay, so Michele would never post this many pictures of herself, but I am her big sister, so I get to do things like this. I spent the past weekend with her and her cute family and I had such a great time. Michele teases that I blog about everything, so I thought I would prove her right and post pictures from my vacation on her blog too!

Michele with her new baby Layla, I know she already posted one of these, but I thought all these were worth posting in a collage.

Girls night out included dinner at Cafe Rio and the movie Confessions of a Shopaholic

Here is a video of Avery enjoying shoveling the wet sand

Digging for Dinosaur bones at the museum, Avery was more interested in burying herself, than unburying bones! :)

Her name is....

We have decided on a name for our baby girl and her name is Layla Michele Reeves. She is a beautiful, sweet, healthy and very easy baby. She sleeps alot but when she is awake she loves to be around her sisters who love her. We are very happy to have her. We love her very much!! Thanks to my sister for the sweet post and to all of you for the well wishes.

Please allow me the pleasure...

...of introducing my sister's brand new baby to the blogging world. Isn't she beautiful? I love those tiny chunky cheeks! And look at that Mommy. It is incredibly hard to believe that she just delivered a baby looking that good! I'm so proud of you Michele! This baby couldn't be more wanted, more adored, more anticipated, or more loved...it's just not possible. On behalf of our entire family, we love this baby so much and we are so anxious to get to know her!

p.s. Welcome to the "Pam toe" club, baby. It's a very exclusive group and I am glad to have you be a part of it! :)

She is here!

The newest addition to the Reeves family was born at 1:46 pm and she is 7 pounds 8 ounces, and 19 inches long. I hear she is beautiful! Mommy and baby are healthy and are spending their first moments together. I'll update with pictures as soon as I see them. Congrats Reeves, we love you guys!

Beautiful girls!!

Ok, so I need to do this before I have my baby. I wanted to post some so cute pictures of my girls. I was so sick last summer that I did not get around to getting Madi's and Emily's Birthday pictures taken. Then Avery's Birthday was in December and I was able to take her. I have felt so bad procrastinating what I really needed to do, so last week I finally did it. I took them and we had a Great experience!!! Previously when we took them to get their pictures taken they would complain, ask how many more, Emily would smile a little differently :0. And I would be swetting the whole time trying to get cute shots. This time they were loving it, they did whatever the photographer asked, laughing and having fun. It was so nice to just sit back and watch them be so cute and during that time I also noticed how grown up they are looking. Where are my babies? It happens to quickly!! I love you Madi, Emily and Avery!! You make me happy! We are all so excited to have this new baby in our family, she is coming March 4th. I am going to be induced. We do not have a name that we are set on yet but when I have her my sister is going to do a post.

My little Avery and Madi....

We took the kids to the Dinosaur museum today for fun family time.We went into the souvineer shop first then I took Madi and Emily to the bathroom. When we came out Avery was crying so I picked her up and she was still not happy. Travis then told me that he had picked her up and she started crying a minute later. He did not know if she hurt her hand on the rock wall behind him or if she had gotten hurt while he was picking her up by her wrists. She was not moving her arm or hand at all. So then we dicided that we needed to leave the Dinosaur Museum which I felt so bad about because the girls were so looking forward to it, but we knew we needed to take Avery to the Dr. So we left and the girls were sweet hearts they were so understanding. We ended up finding out that she had a nurse maid elbow. It was slightly dislocated and the Dr. had to pop it back into place. When the Dr. told us that she was going to have to twist her arm and bend it to pop it back in place and that it was going to hurt her I lost it. I cried for my sweet baby. It was partly my pregnancy hormones too I am sure. Anyway the Dr. did it and she was a little sad but it was quick. She was fine in just a few minutes. Travis felt horrible for picking her up like that and hurting his baby.On the way to the Dr.s she even fell asleep with a slightly dislocated elbow, kids are so tuff and deal with things like that so well. Then while we were there I had Madi checked because she had been sick for a couple days and this morning she had a rash, we found out she has strep. But she did not ever complain of a sore throat. Another example of how easy going and tuff kids are. I am so greatful for Dr.s and modern medicine.

Bye, Bye Baby...

Yesterday I was practicing Piano with Madi and Avery was supposed to be sleeping. Although I knew she was not I left her there while we finished. Then Emily says "I think I can hear Avery coming out of her room" and sure enough she was. She climbed out of her crib. She was so proud of herself and did not want anyone to help her out when she woke up this morning. So we all watched her climb out of her crib and she was very cautious. My baby is to big for a crib, What happened???
