Wiped out!

Bailey was tired enough to fall asleep with a book as a pillow...wiped out!!!

We love you to the Moon and back!

I love the seconds after Mark walks in the door...he is gone for the week for work, then he comes home to a family who has missed him so much!!!

Fall Craft

I will admit that I have become addicted to pinterest...only on my blog, not to my husband. :)

I saw this idea on pinterest and had to try it...I thought the canvas turned out pretty cute.  Do you love pinterest as much as I do?

Ignore the Ghetto...

 Ignore our ghetto swing-set (held down with a block of cement), and our ghetto grass (which has been mowed recently and doesn't look ghetto anymore).

 This is my kiddos latest game...

Attach the dog leash to the swing, have Reilynn hold the leash, have Addison swing, and laugh as hard as you can.  It is pretty funny to watch.

Rain, rain, DON'T go away...

...little children want to play!

 We finally have some rain!

 We are having a big drought down in here good ol' Texas (if you haven't heard), and we really needed a little moisture.

 The kids (friends included), took full advantage!

 Splishing and splashing to their hearts content.

Reilynn wasn't quite brave enough to splish and splash, but she liked watching the splish and splash action!

Cute Kasidee!

I lucked out with the sweetest husband ever...how did I get the sweetest daughter too?!??  She spent her free time in class writing the whole family these little notes, telling us how much she loves us.

We love you so much too Kas! 

What a great husband I have!!!!



Six 3 year olds and one almost 2 year old...kill me now!

 I'm actually just kidding.  Bailey kicked off preschool at our house, and we had a really good time.

 I tried to get a picture of the cute new preschooler...but she would have none of it...hence the solo backpack picture above.

 We talked about the letter "A" with apples and worms.

 We ate dirt cups with worms for our snack today...only the healthy stuff in our preschool!

The only time I wanted to pull my hair out was when I found this...

a whole glue stick ground into my carpet.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?

How am I suppose to get that out?

Well, if you ever have this problem in the future, baby wipes and a little elbow grease did the trick.

You can't tell my mom I didn't try!!!

 Here is attempt number two!  Everyone in their wedding attire.

 I love Parker's distracted smile...

 This was the best I could get...

 This was unscripted...how cute are these three!  Come for Thanksgiving Cory and Lori...we miss you!

The End.

Magical Times

 All the kids dressed up in their choice of costume...

 Put the music on...

 (which just happened to be Kelly Clarkson...no comment)

 ...and busted a move...

 ...or two!

 Is there anything more magical than twirling in princess dresses?

 It made me want to put down the camera,

 Find a fluffy skirt,

 and twirl!

But then I remembered that I am 30, have five kids, and when I twirl I get so sick and dizzy that I want to throw up, not to mention a headache the size of Texas.  So I picked my camera back up, and took pictures instead.

When the kids are away, mom's will play!

 One for the back door...

One for the front door.
