We have grass!!

Thanks to my great and wonderful husband while I was off with the kids having fun at Halloween parties he worked hard to get the grass in. There were just a few spots we needed to put pieces in, but that's the easy part. At least it would have been if it didn't snow. The grass has been covered by the lovely white stuff for three days now.....guess that takes care of the watering!

Halloween Time

The Kiddo's

This is definitely one of the hardest pictures to take, especially when they don't want to be doing this. It was the best I could get.

Brylee as a pretty butterfly.

Just a short clip of what it takes to try to get a picture!

Party Number One for the weekend. My friends and I get together for our annual kids party.

Black Island Farm....Grandma's treat for Halloween.

Party Number Two. My families Annual Pumpkin Party. This is where we get messy with pumpkin guts.

Car Seat Cover

I just had to add this cute picture of Brylee sleeping on my bed holding onto her binky as it is falling out of her mouth.
I have seen these car seat covers around and thought they were very cute. Desiree's friend bought one for her and the pattern and was kind enough to let me have a copy of it to make my own. Of course I had to change a few things to make it the way I wanted, but I love how it turned out.

Sharing Rooms

It finally happened we moved Brylee out of our room last night and into Maycee's. I only had to get up four times. Maycee stirred a little the second time and woke up the third time and needed her binky too. She said "why does she have to cry so much?" All in all it was a good night. Each time they both went back to sleep and after I turned Brylee over on her belly she didn't wake up again. Yes, my baby sleeps on her belly. You can curse me if you would like....she has done this since about a month old and it's amazing, she is still here! (Note the sarcasm) Eric was not a bit thrilled with the idea of moving her. He said that this is the last time we were going to get to have this and if he had it his way Maycee and Brylee both would still sleep in our room. I am grateful however to have my room back and also thankful to Eric's parents for swapping cribs with us so we could have a nice white one that matched Maycee's bedroom set better.

Save the Date

I am having a Pampered Chef Party at my House on November 4th. Just wanted to give a heads up to all and any that would like to come. I will post the time and more info when the date gets closer. Ü

New Cement

This is the back side of our house. This pathway goes from the patio to the garage. We poured it this morning and it is going to be so nice.
This is the side of our house next to the garage. We poured this two weeks ago and put the fence up the next day.

Up next is to finish the sprinklers and figure out what to do in the area behind this pad and then we will be ready for grass.......if it is not snowing by then.

Kimberlen's Hair Cut

As I was getting my hair colored Kimberlen kept asking Desiree' to cut her hair. She talked one of the other girls to wash her hair (thanks Monique) and kept bugging Desiree'. Finally when Desiree was all done she let Kimberlen have a turn. Kimberlen wanted it shorter, but that is as far as Desiree' would go and I don't think I would have let her go shorter either.

Pierced Ears

I have been meaning to get Brylee's ears pierced for about a month now and just never make it to the mall. Last weekend on my way to Costco with my friend Karri we took a quick detour to the mall. All of my girls have gotten their ears done around 5-6 months. I just think they look so cute when they are bald with earrings. She cried hard for a few minutes and Kimberlen had gone into the store across the hall so that she didn't have to hear Brylee cry, but reported that she could still hear her even in the store.

Tears and all....can't really see the earrings but they are there.

Brylee's 6 months

These are Brylee's new pictures! I love her big smile that she shares with us all the time.

She is 27 inches long, which is about the 95th percentile for her age and her weight is 14 lbs 4 oz, which is about the 17th percentile for her age. So she is long and skinny and we love her.

My Crazy Maycee

Our sweet Maycee is just a crack up! She sure keeps us on our toes and waiting for the next funny thing to happen.
This is syrup and waffle crumbs in her hair. When I asked her why she did it her reply was "It was just sticky".

She had a hard time not looking at the camera. She loves her picture taken.

Her bed in her sisters room. Kimberlen had a little to do with this. She wanted to watch t.v. with Sissy.

She is hiding her binky from her Dad in this one.

"Mary, nice belts with your jammies.....and hair"! We went through Kimberlens old old belts and guess who loves them? And by the way, I did not do anything to make her hair do that. Sometimes she wakes up with the craziest hairdo's.

She is such a Cheeser. (spell check says that is not a word, what do they know)
