HELP???

I need help!!!! 'lil E does this thing while I am feeding her every once in a while where she throws up everything (like 3-4 oz's) but she goes limp and it just bubbles out of her and it is kind of freaky. H would throw up everything CONSTANTLY, and she would get really mad about it. But 'lil E just bubbles everything out, and then 4-5 minutes later wants to eat again! I know nothing is wrong with the "plumbing" because they did an X-ray down there in the hospital b/c she was having issues. Anyhow, I was hoping that someone might have an idea of what it could be!
Anyone?

Fun Times!

Another day with friends! We love those days! We went to Jens parents house to visit her and Ali and her kids came too! Yay!
So here are 'lil E and Brooklyn who are 1 day apart!

'lil E rolling away... LOL
C'mon Mom not AnOtHeR picture with a cousin... Ha - tricked ya - this isn't a cousin... or is it? How does that work? Her Daddy is my Brothers Brother in Law (Bethi's brother). So what do you think, are we related? Or are we only related when it comes to family reunions?!?! LOL!

Whatever we are, these girlies are soooo cute!
And this is Jake who is only a few days younger than Bubs!
So here are Jen, Ali, and my kids! Minus the 3 babies in the house! 10 kids between the 3 of us!
Waaaay cute aren't they?


This is Alisa, her Great Grandpa Frost always was telling me that she and H looked so much alike! (They are 6 months apart) I didn't really see it.... until they were together. They act similar and have big beautiful blue eyes. Plus they are the same size! And H followed her around the whole time, I have never seen her that "taken" with another kid!
I love how H is looking so adoringly at her brother in this picture! She loves him sooo much!

Such a cutie - could we just lose the binky?

So, I am always being asked where I get all the adorable bows for my girls.... Here is my bow lady!

These are a few of her gorgeous bows!

And pretty 'lil E with one of the latest bows/headbands! I LOVE this one! Sooooo cute hu!

So cute that I will show you both pics!
Ya.... I have a bow problem! It is a good thing my best friend makes bows... These are all my girls bows:)

Powell '09

We had a surprise trip to the Lake! We realized that the trip we were planning on going on with my whole family was going to be impossible between J's work and E's school, and since people backed out at the last minute... we were able to go up! It was so great! We only had two days but we made the most of those!
We got Bubs to learn to swim on his own within the first hour we were there! Hoooray!

It is called- I swam him to the back if the boat and then let him go... (ok it was a bit more involved than that, but not much!) He loved it and was sooo ready. He watched South Pacific with me a few weeks ago and since then he practiced swimming like the guy in "Happy Talk Song", as he calls it, and said it would be, "no problem when we get to the Lake cause I already know how to swim"!
J with H , Grandma with Bubs, and Derek with Luke!


'lil E

Does this suit look familiar? It is the same one H wore in Mexico last May... Does that give you a glimpse into the Chaos around here???? Seriously...
Grandpa caught a big fish!!!




This is what 'lil E did most of the time...

This is what happens when you try to apply sunscreen alone!

This is what happens when you play hard!

Pretty messy little girl!

And boy...

I would kill for these lips!

This is what happens when you ask H to smile...

If we could just get that Binky out of her mouth!

Cute family! (plus our Bubs)

Big E fanning 'lil E (it was super hot!)

Luke chillin on the couch

And another 'lil E cause she is just so darn cute!

And this is about 3 minutes after we got in the car...


Nice....

What a great trip!

Cuties

Oh my word this girl loves Binkys. My older 2 didn't so this has been a new experience. Big E never took one, Russ only did at night but H hides them all over the house so you can keep taking them away all day and she still always has one in her mouth.... I think she will start talking more once we break her of this, and I am anxious to hear her voice so.... any advice?
(Keep in mind I have a little baby t hat needs a binky and if I just take them away from H she will prob just steal lil E's)
Such great friends!!!

Russ looking sooo handsome for church!
Emma and Russ all ready to go! What cuties! (Don't ask me what Emma is doing with her hand... who knows with that child!)
