Movie Night

We had a little movie party with popcorn and Lightning McQueen this evening. The babies love popcorn, but I think next time we will have separate bowls.

Brayden is telling Parker "no, no" . . . but, she got a bite anyway :)

"Booty" (Parker's new nickname) ended up grabbing the bowl and flipping popcorn all over the place. She then did a belly dive into the middle of it and started grabbing and giggling. That child is hilarious! Brayden just wanted more popcorn in the bowl, and after Momma made him a new batch he was as happy as could be :)

Fun Times with Brayden & Parker

Enjoying some refreshments at the soccer field . . . Sporting a new haircut from Nana (thank goodness!)Looking pretty at bedtime :) (I love the shadow in this pic - looks like a cartoon)Dribbling, dribbling, dribblingPushing instead of riding . . .Chasing birds --Just being incredibly adorable . . . and incredibly sweet :)

Hooray #3!!!

John is OUT!!!!!!!

YAY! We have all 3 OUTs!!!! Many prayers have been answered, and I am so happy for these special families and their children :) :) :)

Also in good news, Robbie (our first little guy on the list who got out), is joining his forever family THIS WEEK. Yes, that was super fast!!! I hope that Ruth and John have the same timeline from PGN to pick up!

I'll put up 3 more special prayer requests as soon as I get some Mommas' approvals :)

Hooray #2!!!!!

Maybe it didn't all happen in the same week like I wanted it to, but . . . . .

Ruth is OUT!!!!!!!!

It is so wonderful to know that this sweet girl will be home very soon :)

KEEP PRAYING FOR JOHN TO GET OUT THIS WEEK!!!!!

Catching Up with The Boys

It has been way, way too long since I have shared the sweet faces of Gerson and Elviz with you guys!! Here are some pictures that I have received over the past month --

The kids are so cute when they are all lined up to eat :)Ziploc kisses ;)The cheap sunglasses are a hit everytime!!!
What a gorgeous child . . .
Hmmmm, Gerson, you may want to try the other hand . . .Have I mentioned that I am totally in love with these boys?

They just melt my heart . . .

and make my soul smile :)My boys and some of their girlfriends :)
My Funny Valentines :) :) :)

Tia's 1st Soccer Game

On Tuesday, Tia had her 1st soccer game. It was her first game of any kind ever! I can assure you that she had a strong fan base for the event :)

Here is my beautiful Belle (I am so glad that your curls are back, TT!)

Upon arrival to the field, sugary suckers were immediately shoved into my children's mouths . . .

And they wonder why I am uncomfortable with the thought of leaving my babies in their care!!! Parker made sure to jam her sucker way back in there so that she could keep it.
Back on the field, Tia was running and running . . .and running!!!
Here is Brayden re-enacting the play --

After the game, Brayden *had* to give it a try.

We love you, Tia, and we are so proud of you!!!

Someday

Tomorrow night, I will try to post a catch up on the boys!

Waiting for the boys is getting harder and harder. I think about them all the time, and I wish that we were a part of their daily lives. It's just hard.

Anyway, when Brayden gets out of the bath, he likes to go jump in our bed for a few minutes before going to his room. Sometimes, he just wants to lay down in there and get under the covers. It is so funny and so sweet. A few nights ago, while I was sitting with Brayden, I remembered that I had let the boys do the same thing. It made me long for the day when all of my boys will be together . . .

And their little sister can pounce them ALL!!!(Do you see the look of terror on his face???)

Please continue to pray for John's case, Ruth's case, and our case.

Catching up with The Babies

Whew, I finally got my major events posts caught back up! Now here are some cute pics of the babies at home from the month or so --

Brayden & his Boots -- He wants to wear these boots all the time, and he was so proud the morning of this picture b/c it was the first time that he put them on himself.

We store the confiscated toys (those that have caused injury) and the toys that require adult interaction in the Pack n' Play. . . or at least we used to until these bandits figured out how to break in.

I tell you this girl is a Mean Bean!! Here she is waking her brother up from a little cat nap.

Brayden loves bugs . . .

Perhaps he as a future in pest control!

PG has been tearing the zebra up! This little lady likes to bounce :)Brayden loves to scoop, spoon, sift, and shake these beans :)Suck thumb, baby!

Playing Littlest Pet Shops is now a beloved activity for the boy --

My camera is still weirded out. . . so in this picture, the only thing in focus is the creepy doll face in the background.

Poor little Parker G fell on Sunday and her tooth went through her lip. She is so tough that she barely cried and is already healed up! This baby girl is tough stuff!

Brayden has been working on his sports skills. He can throw a nice spiral with this mini football.

And he is working on his dribbling . . .

The face of an angel :)
