Spring Fever

This post will be slightly out of order...I'll be posting from our vacation soon, but today I have some pictures to share!! We had such a beautiful day outside that we went out and took pictures. And since there are so many, I may not comment on them all, but enjoy:

Tea for Two

Hannah turns 7 in about 11 days!! Where, oh, where has the time gone? 

Since we'll be on vacation at that time, and since next weekend is Easter, we let her have a small party with a few friends (one didn't make it so it was just Ella, her bff). She chose to have a tea party, so of course we had to decorate...and have tea! 

Hannah made pb&j sandwiches:

 

And we found an idea on Pinterest we had to try:

Very tedious hanging it from our ceiling, taping it to the sides, taping extra to complete the look...let's just say, time consuming. But with Hannah exclaiming, "It's so beautiful, Mommy," and "it's super, duper pretty," I was more than happy to beautify the plain space!! :-)

 

Hannah and her wonderfully sweet friend, Ella 

(Hannah was done with pictures at this time and ready for lunch!!)

I love this next one, signifies their relationship: close like sisters

 

And while the girls played, the guys had a "Dude's Day"

Andy took Noah to Pizza Hut (of course) and a local baseball game (what else!)

By the way, yes, the Blue Devils won their game!

Hey...what about me?!

And Elijah stayed home to play in the warmth. With Mommy and Ms. Kelly (who came for tea too!)

Happy 1st Birthday

Happy First Birthday Elijah Samuel!!!!

Friday, March 15, 2013 our little boy turned one...

...and is so much fun to be around, you can't help but want to pinch his cheeks give him a hug!!

We had a great day playing at Wallabies (a fun bounce house place for me the kids to climb, bounce, jump and play) on Friday with a few of Elijah's friends

Then on Saturday, we had a few friends over to celebrate with cake. And you always wonder, will the child love his cake? Will he even try this strange substance he's never had? Well...let's see...

The smash cake...all for Elijah:

Oh, did we mention we are walking? After months of "cruising" around the house holding onto walls, furniture, etc., at 11 months he let go and never stopped!

So at first he was hesitant...but after a few minutes:

Isn't this what you said? Dig in, right?!

Why, yes, I believe he likes cake!!! Elijah just may turn out like Noah, who lives for sweets!!! See the link for the video on the side that shows how much he enjoyed his birthday.

Well I intended to come back with more daily weekly monthly pictures and updates!! I guess I somehow forgot the Frazier family had a blog. (yes, I know it's been 3 months, sorry)

Well, let me just start by saying everything not much has changed and the kids are doing well. :-)

Hannah is almost 7 (can you believe it) and she has grown up so much.She is such a big mommy's helper, loves being a "second" big sister, still loves playing with Noah (one of her bffs) and Elijah and (on an academic level) is soaring in my humble opinion! She has been reading very well for a while and will read anything and everything!!! She is also (still) very much into taking care of her dolls, her latest being Sofia, who goes most places everywhere with us.  

Noah also has grown up so much (he's 5 1/2). I didn't realize how much I thought of him as a little boy when he was the "baby" but lately I realize he is not. He is obsessed a big fan of any sports (currently basketball as he plays at the YMCA) and ANY time we have a free moment, he wants to shoot hoops on one of those over-the-door ones we have downstairs. He just loves to move! He is such a great big brother who is very loving to Elijah. Always wanting to give a not-always-gentle pat, hug, kiss, whatever. :-) He is doing very well in school as well when I get him to be still.We have been working on reading and he's been able to read many small books!

Elijah, well, I guess you could say he has changed the most. I mean he's going to have changed some within the next week because he's 10 months!! :-) He is really cruising and I keep thinking he will just let go and take off, but he hasn't yet. He is full of joy and loves anytime the kids try not even hard to make him laugh!! He is quick to find when the baby gates or doors are open and will go after any kind of gadget he sees the rest of us using (think cell phone, computer, remote, even cords!). 

We're back!!

So it has been almost 7 months since I (Kim) or Andy have posted...I don't know why it's taken so long :-) but I know this because baby Elijah is no longer a newborn as shown in the previous post! Not to mention Hannah (with much less teeth!) and Noah have both grown as well!

However, this is not a "real" post, just an update on our name: Frazier family of **FIVE** (frazierfamilyoffive.blogspot.com). And a promise that I will be back on (tomorrow as soon as I can) with pictures and what's been going on since the last post. Or at least capturing a few of the many things that have happened since! (shall I give a sneak peak into what's to come? someone may be crawling soon is rolling and wanting to crawl)
