5 months

our sweet lucy is 5 months old now.  She is rolling all over both ways now and has a good layer of blonde fuzz on her head now.  As Mabel always says, she is "soooo cute!"

and Andrew is 4???

Andrew is still riding the Buzz Lightyear train.  So of course we had to have a Buzz party.  (if you are wondering who the cute alien is, it's our neice Isabel.  No, we didn't sneak a 5th child in).

My friend had all these cute Toy Story costumes from Halloween last year she let us borrow.

We washed all of the Z's (for Zurg) off of the wall.  Zurg must have known we were having a Buzz party and tried to leave his mark.  (this is our version of the buzz ride at Disneyland)

We also found all the army men scouting out Andrew's party and reporting to the rest of the toys what presents he got.

My cute woody.

The crazy group (no girls allowed, except sister and cousin).

Dad riding in on Andrew's new buzz bike.

The last happy face of the birthday.

Again, in Grange family tradition I guess, right after blowing out the candles, he THREW UP.  And didn't stop all night.

While I was cleaning him up he said "Mom, I'm a sick happy birthday boy".  

mabel is 2? no....

Happy Birthday Mabel.  We can't believe our big girl is 2 already.  Mabel has such a fun personality, she can sure be sassy, but she is also super sweet.  She is the first to say thank you mommy, please, your welcome, and I love you.  And I'm pretty sure she already knows how adorable we think she is.  And that's ok :)

2 minutes after she blew out the candles on the completely ghetto cake her mommy made...she threw up.  So sad!

happy 2 years to you house

We've been in our house 2 years now, hurray!  We've really enjoyed our house and neighborhood.  These pics are mainly for my sister, who hasn't see any of our rooms after we've actually done something with them, so here you go Lindsey.

 girls room:  Mabel followed me around when she saw the camera out.  

 Lucy sleeps in her baby room still, so it will be her room one day.  I didn't take a picture of her room, because we haven't painted it yet, so it looked boring.

 Boys room

 I thought it turned out pretty good, especially since it's hard to get excited about decorating for boys.

 Our room, we finally got a bedroom set last year so our mattress wasn't lying on the ground like we were homeless.  I won't even show you what the other side of the bedroom looks like.  Does anyone else's master bedroom turn into the room where all junk/misc. items end up?  Ours does, for instance, we have an old organ up here.

 Living room

And for our houses 2nd anniversary Spencer promised to get this out of the driveway.  (anyone interested?  It's listed on craigslist!)

4 month Lucy

You can see her hair loss is almost complete.  Her hair pattern is a lot like Ryan's was...a tuff on top and in the back.  She is still the best baby ever and yesterday rolled over for the first time!  

andrew, andrew, andrew

This is mainly to write this all done...because aren't we told that someday we'll look back on all this and laugh?  Actually...to be honest, I kind of laugh right now when Andrew does half the stuff he does, because he is such a goof.

This last week Andrew has:

-covered his body in toothpaste
-swiped my credit card and hid it in his pocket
-told everyone at Target about his new underwear
-worn 6 pairs of his new underwear in one day
-showed said underwear to his friends...while it is on
-told Ryan he pushes like a girl (Ryan was pushing him on the swing)  The boys are very anti-girl right now.

When Andrew picks out his own clothes it's always a hoot.  The other day he came down with brown pants and a brown shirt backwards so it was straight brown.  (Spencer said he was dressing as poop).

I think Andrew will forever be my sweet goofy boy.

i forgot

Little Lucy is 3 months old....almost 3 1/2.  Our family was trying to figure out who she looks like last weekend when we were all together.  

Andrew at 3 months.  Andrew kind of seems to be the odd man out.  I think the rest of the kids look more alike.  And by the way, this is one of the only pictures we have of him from newborn until he's about 1.  I don't know what happened.  We still have plenty of Mabel and Lucy.  Sorry Andrew, we'll just have to remember how cute you were!

I think Ryan is the closest match.  Probably because they both have a good amount of hair.

 Lucy at 3 months.  I remembered to take a picture, just forgot to post it!

 Mabel at about 3 months.  She had a lot less hair and was smaller.  

by the way, she loves her dress up stuff.  I was putting on my jewelry one morning and she ran to get hers too.  She even grabbed her purse and you can't see her princess shoes, but she's got them too.  Good thing she's so cute, because she's been so cranky lately.  She's in her big girl bed now, and while she's doing pretty good, she is waking up earlier, going to bed later, and her naps have gotten much shorter (although today she's been down for 1 hour and 1/2 and still going!)
