2010- That was quick! I'm not sure where 2009 went...

My husband once said to me "Before I know it- am going to wake up and I'll be 52" He couldn't have been more right (Yes hunny, I'll mark that on the calender). We wrap ourselves up in our children and end up in some sort of time warp. So now... I fast forward 6 months.


As it seems like years since my last entry its really only been 6 months! WOW really?! I could go on for hours on everything that has happened (Time warp? No not this time- our laptop finally had enough and while you can use it- it is not easy to write a blog while staring at a 57 inch screen TV).

Prince Ethan: Yes this is my same little Prince. My has he grown! Just days shy of 11 months and leaps and bounds since my last post. Our biggest accomplishment came just days ago- Dr. L said he passed his holter with flying colors! No more meds- no more visits- no more SVT?? Time will tell. Everyone always warned me "Boys are different" But I honestly figured kids are kids how different can they be? How wrong was I! Ethan is into everything! needs to put everything in his mouth and is a bundle of determination that will surely surpass his sisters! But I do have to admit I am enjoying every minute of it!


Princess Ericka: Has been with us for winter break and seems to be enjoying herself. Growing like a weed and quickly becoming my little tween. She just turned 11 and going on 16 some days! But still my Angel with a heart of gold. Her younger sister and brother couldn't ask for a more loving sister the way she plays with them and cares for them.




Princess Emalie- Well she is one of a kind. Loving preschool and all that it has to offer. She also started gymnastics this fall and enjoys it. Recently she decided to try and be her own hair stylist and cut her own hair! (We won't be doing that again anytime soon!)







Happy New Year!! from the Winter Wonder Land (a wonder that we survive)

Checking out cool new toys!

The Summer is here!? and its almost gone...

OK so its already JUNE! So the old saying goes "Don't wish your life away because before you know it... it will be gone" I never understood that saying until recently.


My little prince is almost 4 months old already! He smiles and trys to giggle and wants to sit up and be a BIG boy. His heart is doing great and we haven't had anymore issues and in August we'll talk about the possibilty of going off the medication- I sure hope so.






Princess Emalie is turning 4 on Tuesday! We are suprising her and taking her to Chucky E. Cheeze she has been talking about going for months! Emmys new found love is soccer and of course still dances around like a princess.



Ericka is comming to stay for the summer this weekend! We are all very excited but that is when my "crazy" begins. Horse backridding lessons, hopefully girl scout camp (if its not too late) etc... It is when we get Ericka that the summer starts to slip away. We just get into our routine and settled in and then she is gone again... That is the worst part about the summer. But I know she is very excited.



This summer will be the first with all 3 kids and the begining of many, many more... I hope my children remember these summers and I am going to try my hardest to quit saying "I wish it was Friday" Or "I wish the weekend would come" Ericka is already 10! 4th grade this fall... I keep wishing my days away and she'll be off to college.


Stay tunned for many more posts and I promise to post more pictures and blog more often. Our computer screen went out on our laptop, so that adds a small element of difficulty.


OH I almost forgot- Jason turns the dirty 30 this month! He thinks life is over!





Love you all! AM~

I Have a blog!?


At 28 I have a husband, 3 kids a dog and now a blog!
This is hopefully my way to keep everyone up to date on my quickly growing children as I have come to realize I am horrible at keeping everyone we love in the loop of what is going on.

Welcome to my Fairytale... Staring none other then my 2 beautiful Princesses and my Charming little Prince




Lets start with Prince Ethan: Now 11 weeks old!! and growing quickly. We had a cardiology appointment yesterday with our fantastic cardiologist Dr. Lohr who has made my life much much calmer! Prince Ethan is now 11lbs 15oz and 23 inches long. Just a little squirt compared to his 2 best buddies "The Dylans" He will remain on his medication for now but the dosage will remain the same. We have another appointment at 6 months to talk about taking him off of it. IF he can behave and not have anymore episodes between now and then.

He is starting to coo and smile! Loves to be up and looking around at the world around him.

I should back up for those of you who have no clue what I am talking about! Ethan was born with SVT or "Tachycardia" and takes Sotalol to keep his heart rate down.

Princess Emalie- who by the way will say she is not a Princess she is Emmy! is almost 4!! She is our drama queen, class clown and wild child all rolled into one cute package.



Emmy is now riding a "big girl" bike with training wheels! She does really well until she wants to turn and in slow motion her and the bike tip over and give mom a heart attack! But being the tough girl she is gets up and gets right back on.




and last but not least my tweeny Princess Ericka! Who suddenly all in one weekend has entered the pre-teen stage attitude and all. My sweet little quite princess has discovered the world of "why" and rolling her eyes at everything her very uncool parents have to say. Ericka is almost done with the 3rd grade and will be with us for the summer soon. We have ridding lessons planned and hopefully a few other things to help pass the time.


I belive it is the small moments in life that make it all worth while. It is my hope that this blog will help me share the small things with you.



Till next time... we love you all.

The Greiners- Amber & Jason and our 2 Princesses and a Prince.
