Party August

The past few weeks have been party central for the McKelvey clan. First Terri had her party last weekend and everyone met Dave!

Fun Time!

REMIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wait...I lost my contact!


Then Robin had a birthday party for Krissy and KJ! I just have to say - The big Bouncer was a FABULOUS idea! The kids didn't bother us all day! lol

Thanks to Mom for blowing bubbles to Kick for an hour straight to keep him occupied. All three of my kids conked right out!!!

Oh and Sammy - Brian is SO in! lol

Now tonight we have Matthew's birthday cake - maybe I will manage to take some pics!

Every night when we play outside, the man from down the block walks his dog to the woods across from our house. When he passes, the babies run to the fence and yell "Hi Doggie". Then when he leaves the babies yell "Bye Bye Doggie". Nicky says it so cute - with his low voice and his accent that he got from God knows where...So I had him say it into my cell phone the other day. We also talked about Daddy...Here is the recording.....

I promised Samantha....

that I would announce that she smoked everyone's ass at Wii Fit tonight WHILE eating a donut!

Love you girls!

Took a long time...

to post pics from Walk with Dinosaurs. Aunt Kim, James, Joey and I went at the beginning of the month. It was one of the coolest things ever...Joey and James had a great time. Most of the pictures are blurry but here are a few of the better ones:

Thanks to Kim for giving me the heads up about what the heck "Walk with Dinosaurs" was...Joey mentioned it a few times but I had no idea what he was talking about!

A quick congrats!

to Chas!!!! Congratulations on miracle #2!!!! That is such great news - I am so so happy for you guys!!! Samantha is going to be a big sister!!! Yeah!!!!

Talk to you soon!

We were short at the office....

So we had to call in the big guns.....

Anonymous is a nerd! LOL

Just because..

Here is a picture of my nieces. (I ordered 5x7 of this picture for everyone that was at dinner the other night).

She is going to be the FIRST female Yankee!!!

Keep in mind she is swinging her 6 year old brother's aluminum bat and hitting a real baseball! This girl never ceases to amaze me!

Congrats and Prayers...

OK - a few congrats and a prayer......

Congratulations to Kelly on Passing your Boards!!!!! Not that there was any doubt but that is SO awesome that you passed!!! I am so proud of you...now on to the big bucks!!! LOL


Congratulations to Lesley on your little miracle baby!!!! I can't tell you how happy I was to read about your little miracle! You better post some pics soon!!!

Please say a special prayer for Linda's cousin Patricia: she has been courageously battling leukemia for over three years now. By the grace of God a wonderful selfless young woman donated her bone marrow to Patricia and she had the transplant yesterday. This is her last chance at life. Please continue to pray for her and please say a prayer for the donor.


Thanks!

I know! I know! I know!

It has been FOREVER since I have last updated. I am sorry - I know Samantha has already yelled at me about it. So much is going on that nothing has changed!!!!

First off, here are some updated pictures and links to a few hundred more:

April 2008

May 2008

June 2008

OK - so the scoop:

Joey: Joey is officially a 2nd grader! He did really well on his last report card but that is because he is a genius like me! LOL. I keep saying that he needs to do some practicing writing/reading during the summer but I have a hard time sticking to it.

He starts swimming lessons in a few weeks so he is excited about that. Right now he is at Matthew's house swimming - tonight they are going to roast marshmellos (I don't think I spelled that right but no matter how much I type it - it doesn't look right - Sorry Ally).

He is basically just hanging out and enjoying the summer - oh yeah - the other day he called Nicky a little bastard - so I guess I am going to have to keep an eye out on the kid - it rolled off of his tongue so naturally - he probably has a trash mouth behind my back!

Nicky: Nicky is as sweet as ever. He is talking so much more and get this..he can spell his name (not write it but tell me the letters). Ok - I know - he just memorized what I said when I spell it for him on his magna doodle but give me my moment!

His favorite thing to say (usually when he is trying to get out of trouble) is "Hi Mama - what you doin?" He usually says that when after he climbs over the gate. He also has been doing this thing - he taps his cheek and says "Think, Think, Think" and then he raises his finger and says "Oh! I know!" Too cute - and it gets him out of anything!!!!

Jenny: Jenny is my little mother hen - she helps me with everything and she keeps the boys in line. She has been going on the potty and I got her little underwear. She ALWAYS wants to do "pee pee" so the fact that she goes is basically just the law of averages - if she is sitting on the potty for 3 hours a day she is bound to go at some point!

In general:

Basically everything is status quo. Working our butts off and taking care of the kids.

I have some congratulations to go out to Cyber land:

Congrats Russell and Margaret on the birth of their baby girl!

Congrats Ally and Dave on your miracle baby! I can't tell you how happy I am for you - I can't

wait to see pics of your skinny little ass BIG AND FAT!

Congrats to Jaime and "Mr. D." on the - any day now - arrival of your little girl. I am so happy for you!

and last but certainly not least...

Congrats to Terri and Dave on their marriage!

OK - there is my update!!!! Hopefully my next one won't be too long in the future!

Pics at the baseball field

His Favorite Position:
Catcher

Disclaimer: When the twins go to the field with me I give them food/lolipops/juice - whatever it takes to get them to stay in their stroller for as long as possible....that is why they all look so rogue-ey. Sorry!

Batter Up:

Swing Batter Batter...Swing (Thanks Uncle PJ!)

That's all the pics I have and truth be told...Aunt Kim took them!!!

Have a good one.

I know I know...

It has been forever and I apologize! I will post pics soon I promise!

Just a quick update on Joey at baseball...After a slow start this season (for those that don't know the poor guy was the only kid not hitting the ball) Joey has done AMAZING these last two games.

I don't know what Uncle Pat did to help him but it worked!
Last game he went three for three.
Today's game - he went FOUR FOR FOUR

AND....

He got a guy out on third base to end the game!!!!!!!!!

Proud Proud mama moment!

I will update more later.

Jenn

Well visit

I took the babies to the doctor yesterday for their 2 year well visit (2 months late). Here are their stats:

Jenny:

33 inches tall and 21 lbs. She grew 2 inches and gained one pound in the last 6 months. She is 25th percentile for height and below the chart for weight. So she is exactly where she has been since she is born. Doctor said not to worry about her weight - she is just a peanut. She said that Jenny's hemangioma looks like it is going down but she will definately need surgery because the skin is out of shape.

Nicky:

My bruiser is 35 inches tall and 27 lbs. He grew 3 inches and gained 3 lbs in six months. He is about 50th percentile for height and a little below 50th for weight. The doctor said when he is around 8 years old he will need to get a palette spreader because his mouth is so tiny. Whatever that means. I am not going to worry about it for the next 6 years.


Both babies got one shot - as usual Nicky cried for two seconds and Jenny screamed like she was being beaten up.

Developmentally both babies are right on track - Jenny even did some ballet for the doctor - LOL

That's that!

On a side note....girls - I had such a good time on Friday! Samantha - you cracked me up I thought I was going to pee my pants on the way home on the train!!! Can't wait for our next trip!

Have a good one!

More Dinner Theatre from the Mensche Clan...

She sure does get a kick out of her big brother! and Yes, Again she is naked...starting to worry about her! LOL

No sound from Nicky...he was busy eating - lol!

Should I be encouraging this?

Thank you Terri, Kristin and Samantha...

For taking the pictures at the babies birthday party. Please excuse my daughter's face..she slammed it into the coffee table about an hour before the guests arrived!!!!

2nd Birthday

Have a good one!

Playing with the Kitchen Titsi Terri got Jenny

Quick Quick update

Babies are still a little under the weather. They aren't sleeping well and are still crapping up a storm- other then that they are wonderful.

I got the virus briefly on Friday. I didn't get it even close to as bad as the rest of my family - the curse or the blessing of being a mom.

Now for the BEST news EVER......

Nicky said "I LOVE YOU!" to me a few days ago. He was running from the living room into the kitchen and he said "Bye!" and then I said "I love you" and he said "I luv ooo!" It was awesome!!!

Jenny said it the next day to Joe but she shouts it - LOL. Nicky is still saying it more often though. If I ask Jenny to say it she says "Nnnooooo". Nice kid.

That's it.

Shit/Puke Fest 2008 has begun!!!

First - let me thank Terri for babysitting the kids on Sunday night so Joe and I could have a much needed date night. I am glad they were good for you. Tell Daddy thank you for carrying Jenny around for 1/2 hour straight so she would stop crying after the cat messed with her. I think Joe may have been a little upset that she is a Grandpa's girl! LOL


Joey was sick on Thursday night/ Friday morning -he was throwing up and crapping like crazy. It only lasted about 24 hours but he still has the ass part - underwear laundry galore!

Then Sunday night Joe came down with a stomach bug and a fever.

Monday morning - both babies got it. They are in really good spirits - great mood - except for when they are throwing up. I went home early yesterday because I felt bad that Joe was taking care of three sick kids while being sick.

Cross your fingers that I won't get it! Now that I said that - I should be puking any second now - LOL.

I will post pics of the babies birthday as soon as I get them (ahem Terri)!

Have a good one!
