So Raymond had a Dr Appt yesterday he did fantastic. He was very polite to the dr even though we had to wait 45 minutes beyond our appt time, and then at least another 15 minutes once we got into the exam room.
Here are his stats
Weight: 50lbs
Height: 44 1/4 inches tall
He is getting so big, He also had one booster shot for Chicken Pox.

And you know what else is cool about today..The Olympics start this evening which is soo cool...I love watching the gymnastics.
Dumbwaiter: One who asks if the kids would care to order dessert.
Feedback: The inevitable result when the baby doesn’t appreciate the strained carrots.
Full Name: What you call your child when you’re mad at him.
Grandparents: The people who think your children are wonderful even though they’re sure you’re not raising them right.
Hearsay: What toddlers do when anyone mutters a dirty word.
Independent: How we want our children to be for as long as they do everything we say.
Puddle: A small body of water that draws other small bodies wearing dry shoes into it.
Show Off: A child who is more talented than yours.
Sterilize: What you do to your first baby’s pacifier by boiling it, and to your last baby’s pacifier by blowing on it and wiping it with saliva.
Top Bunk: Where you should never put a child wearing Superman jammies.
Two-Minute Warning: When the baby’s face turns red and she begins to make those familiar-grunting noises.
Whodunit: None of the kids that live in your house.
(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!
(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to 3 for the meaning of nothing.)
(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' .... that will bring on a 'whatever').
(8) Whatever: Is a women's way of saying up yours!
(9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to 3.
That is what I have been doing since Ray started his summer vacation, both him and Gabe have been at each others throat all summer. No matter what I have tried they seem to find something to fight over. I even let the pick out each activity that we are going to do in a day and they still find something to fight over they have lost like 6 time to go to the zoo, and other fun places. Even Bean gets in on the trouble now..JPG)
Yeah Bean can climb but not walk, it will be soon, I think I have to dig out my baby gate to put back up again to keep him contained. He will be 9 months on Aug 2. I can't believe it has been 9 months since he was born. I love now that his personality is really starting to show, though he at time seems like such a serious baby. He is my little blondie.
Raymond will be going back to school on Aug 27!!! YAY! I never though I would say that I look forward to him going back to school, but I am since he and Gabe have fought so much this summer. I will probably end up sending Ray to a summer camp for 2 weeks next summer if I have the money. I think he needs that time away from the younger boys.
18 Days until we go away..We are headed to Florida, we will be staying in Kissimmee and going to all 4 Disney Parks, Seaworld and Coco Beach as well as having my parents over for dinner for a evening so they can see the boys.
These were all taken during a Cousin's Birthday Party on Saturday the kids spent about 2.5 hours in the pool. they loved it and were soooo well behaved that day it was crazy. Ray got over his fear about jumping in the pool with the help of his Auntie Nancy.
They also have a bag of crafts that I ordered from a mommie friend, (THANKS AGAIN Jessica) Here is there first activity that they actually finished.
Well I think that is a good post for now, I need to post more. It seems I get a post a month though I definitely have more that 1 most worth to talk about. but that is for now, I am going to try and blog everyday that I am on vacation to keep everyone up to date on what is going on and the cute pictures that I will post as well.
Love
Ellie
Wow, Time sure has flew since the last time I made a post. Life is keeping me very busy. Ray is almost done his first year of school and will be having a little "Crossing Over" celebration on the last day of school. It is hard to believe that Ray is going to be a first grader this fall.
Gabe had an allergist appt on Monday, the only thing that they could test for was chocolate and I am happy to say that he is not allergic to it, the Allergist said that that it could be a digestive issue as the cause of his break outs, so we will look into it when he goes to the doctor for his 4 year, hopefully it will clear up and be a non issue then.
Brendan had is 7 months check up on Monday as well. His stats are as follows. Weight: 22lbs 10oz; Height: 27 inches; Head Circumference: 45 1/2 cm. He had 3 shots and one oral vaccine. He also has to go see a podiatrist next Thursday to get is right big toe checked out, he had a small infection there a while back, it cleared up, then the toe started to peel, then he lost part of the nail, and it hasn't grown back, his Pedi thinks it is nothing but she wanted to be sure and send it to a specialist to be sure.
Paul's work is going well, it is keeping him busy and keeping our bills paid which is great. We still have not received our stimulus check, and we won't until July because we had the Turbo Tax fee taken out of our refund, don't ask me how that affects the stimulus, but that will be good since we will get it close to our vacation.
We are headed to Florida August 15 to August 23. We are looking forward to getting away and letting the kids have a good time at the parks, and we will be seeing my parents,sister, brothers, and sister-in-law while we are down there.
My work is going well. I only work two days a week and the others I am home with the kids.
Well, I think I have done a pretty good job of updating..I'll post pictures in another post later on.
