My girl

I love that I get to have a little girl of my own. Who else would share in my excitement over these cute shoes?
I love this girl. She adds such a sweet feminine touch to our house. She is the girliest girl you will ever meet. No day is complete without her necklace, bow, bracelet, skirt, fancy shoes, purse, a little lipgloss and she is finally ready. In preschool she had to write something she is thankful for... not mom or dad, not family or friends... my girl is thankful for LIPSTICK. She is hilarious. She dances and sings all day long and is in her own world. She is my best shopping buddy and will come along without complaining. (As long as she gets to browse her stuff too) I am so lucky to have this girl. I hope she and I are always close! She is the best.

I Love my Boys

These are the sweetest boys I know. After asking Cole to GO TO BED many times.... he dared to say "MOMMY!" once more. I went in firmly and said "what?" He looked at my face and with his quick wit said "I just wanted to tell you how pretty you are mom." Oh this boy is good! Very charming and knows just what to say! Then there is little Ty. Seriously the best baby in the world. He just chills out and comes along with us wherever we are going. Cole loves him so much and always wants to help and be a good example to him. Today I brought out some jammies that were for Ty for Christmas and Cole ran over and covered his eyes so he wouldnt see them. Ty is lucky to have a brother that cares so much about him. I am the luckiest to have these amazing boys!

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

We had a great Thanksgiving weekend and got our Christmas stuff up! We also made a gingerbread house, Ali was the biggest helper... she loved sneaking all the treats that were supposed to go on the house.


And as for Ty.... maybe next year he will help????

Ty is Blessed

Today Ty was blessed by his dad. Everything went well and it was a very special day. Chuck gave a wonderful blessing. Here are a few pictures of him in his outfit. Cole wore the same one so its neat to have Ty be able to be blessed in it as well.

Seriously?

We already have TONS of snow here. My kids are giving me their Christmas lists, we have been sledding and playing in the snow.
But I have a great excuse to stay in by the fire..... this cute little guy!
Ty is now 2 months old and already 13 lbs. He is in the 95% for weight and 75% for height. So as my doctor said... "A future quarterback" He had to get his shots and my older kids were so concerned for Ty. They recently had theirs, so they can be sympathetic now. Poor little guy took it well!

Smile!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Here are Cole and Ali in their costumes

Here are all three kids dressed up for Halloween. Cole was really excited that him and Ty were both skeletons!Here they are with their cousins at the school carnival.
Ali was too busy eating her cupcake to pose for these
here are a couple more... Ty would not look at the camera much.
Cole and Ali with their carved pumpkins. I helped Ali... a few triangles... then we were done.

Chuck looked online with Cole to find a good pumpkin face and was very picky with Coles pumpkin. Luckily Ali is not competitive!
Here is Ali all dressed up. Just put some makeup on her, and she is the happiest girl!
