Candle Basket Party!!

~Decorating the tree~

We got our tree on Thursday night but did not have time to decorate it so on Friday Michael's asthma was acting up & he was home from school so we decided to go & get Kamrynn out of school at one & decorate it in the afternoon. We had never done this in the middle of the day! It is always dark when we do it so we shut all the blinds & turned off the lights to make it feel "normal"! It was a lot of fun to take our time & not have to hurry. The kids had a blast!
Kamrynn & Michael

Here is my wild haired child! Here hair actually lays down nice but on this day we had it in a ponytail & she had just pulled it out so she looks crazy! I love it like this!

Isabell learning how to hang the ornaments! (and then pull them all off as fast as brother & sister can put them on!)
I love this!

Jeff & I. He is the designated "ornament hook put-er-on-er" as the kids say!


Kamrynn & I (and her enormous wad of gum!)

Looking for more to hang!

Finally all finished! Michael & Izzy hangin out lookin at the lights.

Say cheese!

Ha! Ha! I had to put this one on here! Here is Kam laying on our bed watching T.V. Now if you look real close, you can see that she is laying on something (or in this case, someone!) Yes! That is Jeff totally passed out underneath her! She was just laying there all relaxed & he really was asleep! I just thought it was too funny not to share!!

Christmas pictures

Lastnight we took the kids out to get a christmas tree. This year we really wanted to go to a tree farm and cut down our own tree but when we looked into it we couldn't find one that was open on weeknights so we ended up just going to Lowes like we usually do! It was probably better anyway because it was freezing outside!!! Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving!

Our Halloween

Here are my halloween munchkins! Michael decided he would be Dracula, Kamrynn was a pirate, & Isabell was a leopard. Jeff had to work at the firestation so I took them up there so he could paint their faces & then we went to Joyce & Patricks house/neighborhood where we met Marianna & Brayden to Trick-or-Treat. We had a great time & the kids of course came away with a lot of candy!!

Pumpkin Patch/ Carving Pumpkins

On Wed. we painted faces, went to the pumpkin patch, & carved pumpkins. The kids, of course, had a blast leaving Jeff & I exhausted!!! My kitty cats!!

All together (kindof)

Not really sure what he was supposed to be, but it was what he wanted!!

Cleaning out the pumpkins

Isabell loved the gushy insides!!

Izzy's pumpkin

Kami's pumpkin

Michael's pumpkin

Mess!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok so this post might be a little embarrasing in more than one way, but I don't care!! I know I go a little overboard on clothes for my kids but this is crazy! This week I decided to pull all of the kids clothes out while they were at school and sort them. The sad thing is, when I took this picture I had already sorted Isabell's and hers was this bad if not worse!!! I am not buying another kids clothing item for a looong time! (Izzy sure had fun pulling everything out with me!)

Watching Adi

A couple weeks ago the girls & I got to watch Adison while Josh & Rachel went to a wedding. Jeff was working at the firestation so I decided to take the girls to see him & the firetrucks. Adi was not to sure what to think about the enormous trucks, as you can see in this picture! Overall, they had a good time & Kami had a good time showing her where daddy (Uncle Jeff) "lives" when he his not home!

Are you surprised?!?

I love new faces! Izzy has recently figured out her "surprised" look and she does is all the time! What I love about it is that she uses it at surprised times so she actually understands the meaning! She is at such an awesome age, changing all the time. With her being our last baby, I am really wanting to enjoy every new thing she does. From now on all the infant baby loves are going to have to be fulfilled through nieces and nephews! Joyce~ I can't wait for little boy churchwell to arrive! Rachel~ SNAP,SNAP!!

Night Out

On Saturday night the kids stayed the night at Jeff's parents house and we had a night to ourselves! Brad was in town from college so Jeff and I went with Brad, Megan, Becky, Donnie, Wes, & one of his buddies to the TU football game. We all had a blast! TU won 77 to 35 or something like that! It was crazy. Becky has a lot more pictures so if I can steal them from her I'll try to post more later.

Another Beautiful Day!!

So I am posting about every other day now! I guess I have a lot to catch up on since I didn't post for over a month. I also cannot seem to remember my camera anymore so here are more pictures from my cellphone!! I know I have already talked about how nice the weather is but I can't say enough about how much we are loving it!~ I recently found a really nice double stroller at a garage sale in the area for $15 so Kami can ride with Isabell! They both think it is so much fun to ride together. I don't have any pictures of it yet but I will try to take some soon. I love getting a good deal!! Jeff and the girls at the creek by our house~
Searching for crawfish~
Kamrynn & I~ She is getting so big! (Notice the Betty Boop doo-rag, this was one of her garage sale finds. She loves it! Lol...)
Sorry Michael~ I cut your head off a little, but look at Kam posing!!
Say cheese! Daddy & Izzy~
