Spring in February.....

I know you were all thinking we only had one child...since all you ever see are pics of Carlee -  but, truth be told...my camera sits right on the counter and since she is the only one that doesn't care if it's always in her face - she is my model.  I have to bribe the other kids or catch them in action.  Anyway - we went to the park on a Spring February day....kids had a blast!

We all need a safe place to land......

This is Carlee's favorite chair!

Dress up with Izzy - or really - Dress up Izzy!!!

Carlee loves necklaces...she is a girlie girl!  Loves Bling!  We often go to the grocery store, errands, etc. with a necklace or bracelet on.  So - when Izzy sits still long enough - Carlee likes to include her in the glam.....poor Izzy.

Please say a little prayer.....

Hi everyone....

I need a favor.   My good friend, Kim (who would probably not like that I put her picture on here - but, she won't know!) lost her sister yesterday to a long and unbelievably courageous battle with cancer.  She has been fighting it for years and was a very strong and brave woman!  I just want to ask that you say a prayer for Kim - she has been a dear friend to me for the last 5 years and has been the sole caregiver to not only her sister, but, her older parents as well.  Please lift her up and ask for strength and peace for her heart.  Kim is one of the most wonderful people I know and she is really dealing with some serious sadness right now. Prayer is the best gift I can give her right now - so please help me with this gift. Thanks.......

There's more than one way to give a baby a bath.....

Uhhh....you know when things are quiet for more than 30 seconds...something is up!  Carlee came and got me jabbering and all excited about something....after the typical everyday - "Show mommy" - we took a trip to the bathroom and this is what was waiting for us!!!  I am just glad that my toilet was clean so I could take these pictures and show them to you all - you caught me on the "toilet cleaning" week!  I guess it could have been Carlee in the toilet.....it can always be worse!

Cyvannah and Cayden's Fort - or makeshift bunk bed....

Cyvannah has a day bed that sits pretty high - so, these two monkeys decided they would have a slumber party and make a bed for Cayden underneath hers.....we never know what's next.  And - for any SRS people that may see this....Cayden DID NOT sleep under there all night. I think it lasted about two minutes - right after Cayden started kicking Vanna's mattress and then we hear the "MMOOOOMMMMM, Cayden's kicking me", and then the "No, I'm not!" and so on and so on.....they each had a restful quiet sleep in their OWN beds.......:)

History repeats itself!

Hi all - 

I took some pictures of Carlee and my niece, Corynn (Cari's daughter) and every time I see them together it reminds me of Cari and I when we were little - so, I thought I would show you how funny it looks - they are like little mini-me's......

My latest activity....

This is my latest activity......my mom has to "lock" the refrigerator door......the last one is how I act when my mom and dad make me stop grocery shopping.......

Ahhhh....the joys of being one!

I love my new toy box!!

Since my mom has OCD and can't stand clutter - I have a new toy box to put all my "stuff" in.....of course, I had to try it out first and it works! Yiiipppppeeeeee!!!!! I love it!!!!! More importantly - my mom LOVES it!!

Ahhh...what a cutie!

My latest creation....I felt bad for Matt this month - there have been some COLD days and he has had to be outside a lot...so, I whipped (knitted) up a little something for him to protect his baby face...he is thrilled!!
