Nathan walks and plays peek-a-boo

Grandma- this is a video- push play :)

Does this make me the crazy cat lady???

The church held a trunk-or-treat on Saturday and all the kiddos were cats.

Scary aren't they??

Not sure why, but Logan was not in the mood to have his picture taken. Oh wait! It's because he's 2!!

Ally with her friend McKenna.

Our new shoe bench

Last Saturday, Craig and the kinds spent the day in the garage building a much needed storage bench to store the kids shoes in.

Nathan sat in the old high chair and ate apples most of the time when he wasn't napping :)

Don't you love how it was cold enough for hats, but not shoes or coats....

After telling Logan to look at the camera for the 20th time, Daddy stepped in and helped.

Daddy's big helpers.

The finished project. Each child has a cubby with a shoe bin in it and they have a nice place to sit and put on their shoes. Thanks Dad!

Killing 2 birds with one stone.

Logan brings me an apple and asks if he can have it- I said no, because it was almost dinner time. I thought he was going to put it back.  5 minutes later, Ally comes to ask me if Logan is in time-out (our time-out stool is in the bathroom just off the kitchen). I said no- why? She replies that he is sitting on the floor in the bathroom eating an apple...

I guess he figured he might as well do the time, while committing the crime and kill 2 birds with one stone :)

homesick...

Oh friends.... I am missing home so much today...

Family pictures!!!

My favorite shot of the day :)

No wait, this is my favorite shot of the day :)

No, no, wait THIS is my favorite shot of the day :)

OK- they are all my favorites:)

Me and my girls

I swear this daughter of mine could be a model. She posed herself in all of these shots.

Sweet, sweet Livy!

Love this boy!

My sweet little Nathan.

Handsome dude!

Me and my boys :) These are the best kisses in the world!

This one makes me feel chubby, but the boys were so cute, I had to put it on anyhow.

This look like a Gap ad or something to me! And look at those eyes!

This is how I always want to remember Olivia- great big smiling face!

I can't see this shot and not smile... What a darling boy. I wish he would stay just like this forever.

What a cute bunch of babes!

Sweet love of my life :) I told Craig it looks like we have both gained 20 pounds over the last 10 years, OH WAIT- we have :)

Look at those eyes!!! Not sure where they get them from, Craig and I both have hazel eyes.

One of our family photo shots... just had to share this one... more to come soon :)

Happy Birthday Ally!

Happy Birthday to my sweet princess Ally. 

We couldn't love you more!

Craig? Is that you?

Put an OREO goatee on Nathan and he really does look like his daddy :)

Grubby

 Before I became a mother, I swore I would never have grubby kids...I was SO wrong. Considering this is how Logan looks 95% of the time. 

baby's first....shiner?

Since Nathan has been trying his hand at walking, he has sustained multiple head wounds :) Note the bruises on his cute little forehead... A few days ago, Logan- who loves to help Nathan- helped him into a face-plant on the corner of the coffee table. Still a cutie, even with a black eye :)

fogginess

Today I was dusting- obviously something I don't do very often :), and Olivia says-

"Mom, are you taking off all the fogginess?"

Hahaha! I had to try really hard not to laugh out loud. Bless her sweet little heart, she's a thinker :) And yes, if you were wondering, she is adamant about growing out those lovely LONG bangs.
