Chase...8 months

This sweet little Chasers has been nothing but easy to love, and kiss, and cuddle. I can't even begin to tell you how grateful we are to have him in our home! Granted, he still doesn't have a bedroom...but who cares right? Kids have no idea how big or small your home is. When I was growing up there were 7 kids and 2 parents using ONE bathroom. But I never really noticed it was an inconvenience. Granted we moved to a different house when I was 13. Probably a good move. :)
Chasers likes to scrunch up his nose and breathe really fast through his nose, hilarious. He squeals really loud when he super tired, or when he's really excited to see you. He's ultra laid back. Eats anything he can find. Gags on banana -I'm thinking maybe he truly doesn't like it. And crawls everywhere, pulling himself up on anything he can. And that dimple of his is a heartbreaker.
Anyway...I love you Chasey facey!!!!

Sunday PJ's

For a long while now as soon as my chillins get home from church, they get in their jammers. Mind you, right now we get home at noon. I took this pic a few weeks ago on Sunday- hence the hair is done, and jammers on. I just love this girlie. Stop growing. I don't want her little voice to get bigger and her tiny tongue to stop twisting when she says her S's. Or her comments like "I'm so pretty huh mom", or "I pooped a little in my panties, that's gross huh mom". Uh, ya, that is gross. :)

She's Maddie

Madeline loves to little things. Trinkets, dainty, tiny things. She LOVES making lists and schedules, art, music, and above all, swimming. The girl is a wanna-be mermaid.

A few weeks ago someone at church brings this little pursey thing to me (I still have no idea where it came from) and asked if it was Maddie's. Yes, yes it is. So I take it, and look inside. This is what my daughter has packed away to bring to CHURCH...

Because you NEVER know when you'll need safety glasses.
Then as soon as we get home I find this awesome Sunday to do list...
And just for fun...I'd to include this photo. Who knows exactly why she was so mad. Someone touched her, or sang when she didn't want them to, or more than likely she didn't like the way Tanner was looking at her. Heaven forbid. At this point, she was giving even me the silent treatment. Wow, I'm scared for the teenage years....

Halloween

I've been feeling so overwhelmed about wanting to blog everything from the beginning of time, but then realized, while I've been doing that, I've wasted even more time. hahaha! So, I'll start with Halloween. It was grand. Although I love the holiday, I despise the cost. My kids want to be something different every week, so I'm always the mean mommy who has to lay down the law. We went trick or treating and got so much dang candy. Threw away all the crappy candy and kept all the chocolate.

Chasey-face...
Tae-Tae, the girl with a million faces, but never gives me the one I'm looking for.
Madsie, she's 8 going on 16.
Tan Man, wanted to be a "mean, scary guy" I should have just dressed him up as Obama.
Jay Bay, Vampire. But the sweetest one there ever has been. :)
I'm so proud of myself for posting pics. Wow, I'm diligent.
