Love At Home

One morning I came downstairs and this is what I found. My 9yr old was cuddling Laney. It was the sweetest thing I've ever seen. These are the moments I love being a mother.

Sweet Megs

I just thought this was a sweet picture. She was loving on her baby and asked my to take a picture of them together. Of course, I abliged.

Although it's been two months, I've gotta give props to our friends Jared and Jen. They came over on Halloween, brought crazy good chili, super scary treats and candy galore. The Jareds' had a great time terrorizing unsuspecting trick-or-treaters. Jen and I took the kids around the block. As you can see, she came dressed to impress. The kids loved her. It was so much fun. Thanks guys. Can't wait until next Halloween!!!!

Hardly anyone knew who the kids were for Halloween. Doesn't anyone watch movies?

Mommy's Baby Is Growing Too Fast!

Laney is 9 months old! In the last few months she has cut teeth, started crawling, standing up and even cruising around the furniture. I will miss her being so cute and little. I wish this stage lasted a little bit longer. Pretty soon she'll be saying "no" and pretending she doesn't hear me when I talk. Then, the tantrums, and the "I hate you mommy" or "you ruined my life". I can't wait for that. Why can't we just skip the 2's? That would be heaven.

What a good little puppy!

I think Gavin was tickled that Laney enjoyed the popscicle so much. Every time he tried to have a lick, she screamed and clapped her hands. I think Laney got most of it. Gavin gets kudos for sharing.

Popscicles and Little Sisters

Gavin absolutely adores this little baby, even enough to share his beloved popscicle.

That's more like it!

Megan is adorable when she wants to be. She said to me last week, "Mommy, you take Mei Mei's picture?" How could I say no?

All Attitude Girl

This little girl is definately a firecracker. One minute she is happy, the next, well, you can see for yourself...

Kenzie and Kettle

After Kettle got all cleaned up, Kenzie and I went outside to play catch with him. He loved being with Kenzie. I think she enjoyed it too.

A New Doggie Do

My friend Jayme groomed Kettle this last week. He looks like a new dog. He is actually cute. Thanks Jayme for making him look like a dog again, instead of a bear!!

My Apron

I totally fell in love with these fabrics. So this is my finished, adult sized apron. The colors are so cute together. I love to express how I'm feeling through the crafts I do. My favorite colors brown, aqua, and green. LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was even able to add a little extra with my new sewing machine.

Megs is so cute and all ready to get floured and sugared in this apron.
