Gingerbread Houses

Our children at their happiest all being held at the same time, what a great DAD!!




Mine, Madison's,Noelle's, and Nate's



Madison with sprinkles!!!!



Caleb talking



Caleb smiling---look at those cheeks!!


Well we survived the well child visit and it ended up that Noelle and Madison got the flu shot why we were at it. Little Boy Blue is a little pig he is in 56% for weight and 72% for height I think he is going to pass his sisters very soon, he just knows how tough he has to be to keep up with both of those stinkers. He weighs as much as Madison did at 5 months old-way to go Caleb!!!!
Well, the gingerbread houses did not do as well, lets just say I am not an architect at least the girls are standing but mine looks like Madison put it together do to the roof collapsing in and then Nate tried to give it some more support beams and well it turned out pretty pathetic. Nate's leanto fared better the girls helped decorate his and lets just say we had fun but we are not being entered in a contest. Madison loves sprinkles and even today here hands are green from all the die in the sugar.

Little Girls

The girls loving on each other.

Noelle enjoying a treat!


The hair cut----just before a Christmas picture.


OK, Madison was suppose to be taking a nap in our bed, and well, that did happen after she cut her hair to look like a mullet, cut an entire book apart, spread an entire bottle of gel beads over our bed, lotion. To top it all off she peed--just after Nate had changed the bed with fresh sheets. Oh yes, she also took a pen to our sheets. I am just hoping and praying that boys are easier. Every time I look at her sweet head all I can see is her beautiful curls chopped right down to the scalp--- and you cannot really fix a curly top.

3 cute kids

Madison sad to see her Nana and Papa leave.

Look Caleb fits in the doll stroller.

Mom the snow suit is too big for me.

Hanging in the swing.


Lets see we have a ton of laundry to due these days, Madison has regressed in the potty department and Caleb seems to puke or pee on something 2 to 3 times a day and for Noelle she is just messy she usually goes through 2 shirts a day and oh yes there are all my clothes that Caleb has messed up some way or another. Then somehow in the hour that it takes to feed Caleb the 2 little curious ones get into something else, I wish it was not snowy and cold so that I could put the girls outside and let them run around as much as they would like without taking an hour to get dressed in snow gear and then getting undressed from snow gear and all the room the snow gear takes up in a house. Nate has really been helping to take care of things around the house other wise I house just might fall down around us do to Caleb's eating issues. We have 3 different exercise that are suppose to take place 12 times a day and pumping and feeding him----oh I think I just might go crazy some days and then Madison will start to make me laugh and I remind myself it is just a season and a very short one at that. One day not to long from now all my kids will use the potty and even the ones in public, they will be able to get themselves dressed in matching clothes and for the appropriate temperature outside, fix themselves a bowl of cereal, and get in their car seats by themselves. But I will miss their wet kisses, laughter when they are being tickled, their funny sayings or manipulation, their facial expressions, and snuggle time, I will miss them fitting into my arms.

Little Boy Blue Is 3 Weeks Old

Here are a few cute pictures of the little guy and of course the ham sisters. Noelle is sporting some red boots that were way to big for her and of course she would not take those off, and the duo down dogs. We just got back from the Dr. and we have a little pig on our hands Caleb was 8# 6oz way to go now we do not have to go back till Dec.

Cinderella and A Cow

Dress Up For A Whole Day!!!!

The First Snow to Stick for the Winter

Ok, so this October I do not think we will get a pumpkin carved, but we did get a small snowman built with the foot of snow that fell on Wednesday morning. Now it is getting everyone in there snow gear so that they can spend hours outside which they do love.The kids had a day off from school yesterday-- so the entire neighborhood was over playing with Noelle and Madison in the yard and taking them for sled rides. Then daddy and Madison built a snowman with Noelle's help. While mommy and Caleb had to go to an appointment at the hospital, hence the cute brown bear suit.

Welcome Home Little Boy

Caleb Luke born Oct 23 at 0135 7lbs 13oz and 21".
Little boy blue is loved by his two big sisters and loves to be warm and snuggled, he is a very lazy little boy. Prayfully he is going to catch onto nursing soon and become big and strong.

Sunday Morning and Pumkins

Well Noelle has a favorite pair of shoes and they happened to be Madison's favorite when she was Noelle's age. They are red patten leather very cute but only go with so much. Noelle thinks they go with everything though. So I was trying to document this pair of shoes for her scrap book and she decided that this was not the time or the place to be taking pictures of her and she let her true colors show... She had me almost rolling on the floor because she was not going to have her picture taken and was trying to through a fit.
On Monday was the same thing. We went to get our pumpkins at the orchard and well it turns out I was lucky to even get the picture of Madison, bad timing on Moms part. But we have our pumpkins and are now set with our fall decorations. The other pictures are of Madison riding the horse swing at the orchard and some of my favorite fall color leaves

Apple Picking

Well, FALL is one of my favorite times of the year. The leaves turn orange, red, and yellow and the air becomes cool and crisp!!(Although today it was hot 74F) The girls picked apples which was absolutely hysterical because they were just trying to pull them off instead of twisting and pulling them off. Madison was making grunting noises, then Noelle would try to copy the same noise and fall to the ground when she finally got an apple off. Truly a funny event. Madison also tried getting on all the tractors which was a little scary due to the fact the keys were still in all the tractors. Now we are going to make apple sauce and dehydrate apple rings, YUMMMMMMM!!
