crazy hair day

Today the girls had crazy dress day. We really had fun with this one. The girls look sill! It was a lot of fun. Here are the pictures from the day!!

Iced Inn

Last week we got a winter Ice storm. The bad thing about these storms, is the clean up is so much worse than if we just got snow. Especially the roads. With that said, the girls were home 3 days last week. While they were home, they did get to go sledding down the drive way. They both had a really great time!


We also baked cookies, and even made a special cookie for Dad, that we of course all shared!


We spray painted the ice


This is what I like to call Times Square, this is in our neighborhood

This is a picture of how thick the ice was




This is our one little tree in the front yard

lately

Lately I have noticed that i have not been capturing as many pictures of Faith. I recognize this, and will make up for it! Trust me


All I see in this picture in her face is her as a baby. Its the mouth and the checks, Oh I already miss those days!


Here she is again, jumping away on her new toy from Gammie


Messy face


Sister LOVE. Faith love love love loves Audrey! She has turned out to be a great help! Sometimes too much, but she really does spend a lot of time with Audrey!


Cutie pies!

100th day of school

Lauren had to make a poster with 10 groups of 10 things she liked. At school they celebrate the 100th day of school. I made 100 cookies for her class. Faith's class, made a snack, with 10 items, containing 100 pieces of each. Her class had to count out the 100 items. I did not attend either celebration, but both girls came home with smiles on thier faces.

Letting Go

My little Audrey is growing so fast right before my eyes. She is 9 months now, and is trying really hard to walk. The other day she took a few tiny baby steps. She will find anything she can to stand up, and then she lets go, and just stands there, thinking really hard about getting her feet to move. I took some pictures of her and thought I would share them.



This is my big girl! She stood there for almost a minute while a snapped picture after picture!


My little peacock! She is still a blondie, and this picture shows the true color


See her teeth, she has gotten the two top teeth in too!


Holding on to mommy!


Letting go :(

All I want for Christmas is my two bottom front teeth...and I got 'em

This is the song little Audey has been singing, okay we have been singing to her. And she did get both teeth. Today She is 8 months old. And time is flying way to fast but I have been loving every minute of it...okay not the minutes in the middle of the night..hehe! She has been a mover and a shaker. She is pulling up on everything. Trying her harderst to walk. She stands up in her bed and is still just the cutiest thing ever!

I still know I need to get better at taking pictures of the other two, my next post will have pictures of them...

cuttie pie


My two front bottom teeth!

the oven is my new favorite spot!

I can pull up on it


And I play with the baby in the oven..(my reflection)

Mom what does normal mean?

This is the question asked to me by my 4 year old..(can u believe almost 5) anyway that is another blog. So back to what is normal...when Lauren asked me this, I knew right away I had a problem. She thinks the crazy life we live is normal, un be known to her, its a little out of whack. But we are working on it...Here are some pictures of the new house.

I must give my husband a lot of praise here. He single handed moved almost everything we own. There were days when I did not think he was going to make it. But the prize is well worth it. We have been working our little elves off to get everything moved and settled. We have everything unpacked and settled, with a few minor things still to be done..like organization..some of that just comes with time!

This is the grand entrance you walk into. It is really pretty.



This is the living room and the kitchen all in one area. While it is an open -type floor plan, its not totally open to everything...

This is the view from the kitchen looking at the living room...notice my red paint


This is the living room...if you know me I can not live in a house with out paint on the wall. So yes in the two weeks we have lived here, I have painted the living room and painted the wall where the bar stools are.


This is the wall I painted under neath the bar...its my favorite



This is the dining room
