babies, kittens and birdies OH MY!!!

This is no joke! We now have little baby birds on the front porch!!! What a fun and crazy time at the Forbis house! I wonder if we can get funding for being a zoo?

WE HAVE 4 KITTENS!!!

We have suspected for the past month or so that Fluff was pregnant. Recently she was getting huge and we knew she'd be having them any day. Well, today Iwas vacuuming the boys room and when I shut the vacuum off I heard all of these little "meows" coming from under Gabe's bed! Sure enough, I saw 3 little kitty's! About an hour later she had 2 more under the couch, one of which was still born. We will have more pictures to come!

I have to start by telling you how much I miss writing on my blog. I don't have much time right now, but I love telling stories about my boys and recording my life one day at a time. As Luke gets older, it may be a little easier to write, but I certainly don't want to rush things. If there is one thing I've learned as a mother, it's that TIME FLIES!!! I am thankful that I've been able to really cherish this baby, partially because I believe it to be our last. I want to make sure that I take enough pictures and write down all of the cute stories. After all, this IS what life is all about...

Here are the brothers getting ready to watch Despereaux. Gabe did a great job holding Luke. He even held his passy in, but after a few minutes he tilted his head to the side and said in a high pitched voice "Mommy, you hold him?"

Luke has started smiling for real and I have wanted to catch it on camera but I'm never quite fast enough. I was able to catch the tail-end of this one! I'll keep trying!

We had a few storms pass through yesterday but the sun tried to peak out in between. The boys were eager to get out and play and I couldn't say no! Naturally, they headed straight for the mud puddles! It took a good hour to get cleaned up after this!!!

"CUTEST-BABY-EVER" ALERT!!!

4 WEEKS OLD

little boy fun

3 weeks old already!

red-handed...

Gabe got up first this morning and asked for oatmeal. I made the mistake of leaving the tupperware full of brown sugar on the counter when I went back into my bedroom to check my email before the other boys woke up. When I came back into the kitchen, Gabe had the container in front of him and a spoon in his hand. He looked at me like a deer in headlights! He was waiting for my reaction. Then he said "I'm doing nuffing in my mouth". I about rolled on the floor! And I must admit, he gets it honest. I love to sneak a taste of brown sugar. Yum!

Luke Arthur is here!

One last belly shot

This little boy has sure kept up waiting, but something I realized this morning is that I hadn't taken a recent picture of my belly. It seriously looks like I have a basketball under my shirt! It has been a wonderful pregnancy but as of recently, a lot of the pregnancy side effects have become especially unpleasant and I can almost hear my body screaming for relief! But I am very thankful for three healthy pregnancies, and the fact that Luke is so happy and comfortable in there! Being late is a good problem to have. I just don't have any patience. Anyway, hope my next post includes pics of the man himself!!!

no training wheels!!!

My big boy Isaiah mastered riding his bike without training wheels today! He has been practicing just gliding and balancing for the past few days. Today he went ahead and put his feet up on the pedals and off he went! He was immediately able to start and stop by himself. He looks like he's been doing it all his life! And the proud grin on his face makes a Mommy and Daddy feel like a million bucks!

the mind of a 3 year old

The other day, Isaiah asked for a grilled cheese sandwich. Unsure of what that was, Gabe still decided he wanted to try one, but he wanted "boy cheese". It was so cute listening to Isaiah try to explain it to Gabe. Precious moments...
