Tubby Time

Three dirty kiddies in the tubby having a great time. I love tubby time because that is my last chore of the day with the kids and then I get a break for a little while. Remember from 7pm-7am I am not a Mom!!!

Playing Outside what a treat

Today the kids were just begging to go outside and play. In Washington if it is not raining it is considered a great day right. So we all went out and road our bikes and scooters. They definately went to bed really well tonight because they were all pooped. We like it best when they are pooped out and we don't have to fight about bed time.

Family Pictures 2008

Thought I would share our family pictures. We think they are really special. We had a fun time being together and taking pictures.

Mimi and Papa's on Sunday

We all love Sunday night where in Washington. We always get together for family dinner and a treaty, treat, treat!!! We all look forward to our sugar high at Mimi and Papa's. The guys and kids play XBOX and the rest of us just hang out and chat.

Bruce is ready for his parents

Bruce loves Auntie Jess, But he is really ready for his parents to come home now. Mimi and Papa are really ready too, who knew a dog could be so much work??? He was trying to crawl in my lap and Courtney's lap all night. He is crazy!!!

Banks

I just love him. He is the cutest little guy ever. He has the best personality and is so fun when we are doing what he wants. Funny boy.

Project

Helping Carissa with her senior project!!! The kids had fun learning about health and nutrtion. Thanks for a fun time.

After a hard workout I came down to my room and found this little baby Banks curled up by his sissy fast asleep. When they fall asleep on their own without being put to bed you know they must be tired. Too precious.

Kiddos

Look what I found this morning sitting on my bed??? 5 kids and a Daddy watching Saturday morning cartoons. I thought they were so cute I had to take some pics!! Can't beat Mom and Dad's bed on a Saturday morning for some cartoons, what could be better then that??

Butterfly

Kennedy is crazy, I was putting on my workout clothes this morning and guess what came flying by...Miss butterfly Kennedy Grace!!! She was buzzing all over the house in her wings, shopping shoes, and mittens!!!!

Eclipse

We had a lunar eclipse tonight. The kids thought it was really amazing so we snapped a few shots. Not that great with my janky camara but what a moment to remember. I know the kids will.

Birthday

Alexander's 29th Happy Birthday. We had a birthday party tonight at Mom and Dad's house with the family. We ate Pizza and then had cake and ice cream. The cake and ice cream were a really great treaty treat treat. WOW, I make great cakes. I am amazing!!! Happy 29th Birthaday honey, I love you!!!

HairParty

The girls and I had a hair party this afternoon. The kids don't have school this week so we have to keep our selves busy some how. As I was foiling Ryan's hair Kennedy thought she needed a foil too. So we got her in the chair and she got her first foil. Ya pretty crazy but this is what I do. We had a fun time!! They both look beautiful and love their new hair. Happy times for them. THe girls love this song Clumsy, that is why it's on the blog.

Kennedy

While I was getting lunch ready after church yesterday I kept calling for Kennedy to come eat. Well She had found herself a couch, curled up and went to sleep. I guess being a sunbeam takes a lot of work for the little lady.

Kitty Cat in a baby carrier

Since when did Valentine's Day become Halloween?? The kids came home with soooo much candy, I think I am going to just trash all of it. I don't and they certainly don't need all of that junk in their little bodies.

NEW

Okay I am actually attempting to blog right now. I have been a busy lady lately. Shauna I love your latest blog. My, oh, my, can I relate to your entire life right there. Yes that sums up a mothers life and what is going through out minds and the things we look forward too. We have actually had some time this week to be at home and have some down time. We are on a break from YMCA. Last week I was at school helping in Carter's class he was working on a worksheet sheet that asked him a this question....What is your favorite thing to do after school. Guess what my little guy said..."Go home!!!" Yes that is right, GO HOME. Poor boy is totally over scheduled. SO we have been trying to be home this week after school being together. I am not sure if the kids are going to be excited about going back to swimming or not. I guess we will see. So I have a question for anyone who reads this... I am looking for a nanny possibly, anyone know anyone??? Let me know. I will try to blog more. I have just been a working girl, doing hair and being a Mom!!! Happy Blogging
