Winter Fun

I was really bored one night and decided to put my tree up a week early. I figured the week made up for not putting one up at all last year. If you were to look at my tree today you would notice that most of the ornaments are not in the same place. It's like a game for my kids to move them around everyday. It's ok though because there were the ones that put them up in the first place. It was so fun to let them decorate the tree because they were so excited and it just made me more excited for Christmas this year.

The next day we had a huge snow storm and I just bought the kids new coats that weekend so we let them go test them out. They had a blast in the snow. Tray even tried to ride his bike to the neighbors house but after not getting very far, he stuck to riding the 4-wheeler with Dad.

Sneak Peek

I had Dylan's pictures taken today. Here is a sneak peek of some of them.

Jaci did an awesome job and I can't wait to see the rest. Well except for the part of choosing from the rest. But I love them so far!

More pictures of Dylan. Halloween
2 weeks old


The kids have to be in pictures with Dylan. They can't get enough of him.





My 3 kiddies! Love them!




2 1/2 weeks old
Dylan had his 2 week check-up last week. Everything looks great! He weighted 7 lbs 4 oz. He still hadn't gained his birth weight back, but considering he weighed 6 lbs 14 oz when we left the hospital the doctor wasn't worried. I think this week he's probably passed it his birth weight though! He's eating like a champ!
He really is the sweetest baby! He never really fusses unless I drink too much Pepsi :(
He puts up with his brother and sister so well. Even when he's napping and they are screaming and playing, he doesn't wake up. He does pretty good at night too. There's only been 2 or 3 times that he hasn't gone right back to sleep after a feeding.
We just love him so much!!!

I Put A Spell on You

Halloween just gets more and more fun the older my kids get.
This year I taught Tray to say "Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat." He thought he was hilarious!
Can I just tell you that I'm so excited that I get to throw a Halloween party every year now for Dylan's birthday. He's going to hate me for it, but it's like a dream come true for me!

I didn't get as decked out in holiday decor as I wanted to, but I had zero energy by the time October rolled around. Here are the few decorations I did put up.





My poor Frank! I love him so much but he didn't make it through all the wind that we get here. Maybe He'll have his own tombstone next year! And I'm excited for next year because I saw how to make some AWESOME tombstones so watch for the upgrade next year!



This is the wreath on my front door. It didn't hold up very well in the weather either so if I make another one I'm going to find a way to reinforce it better. It was fun and cute to make though.

I've had this hat for 3 or 4 years. It was my first Halloween craft!



I saw this idea on a craft blog and my friend's blog too and I just had to do it! The candy didn't make it to Halloween but that's what it's there for.




And we did get to decorate cookies before the baby came. Kinlee's are the ones will all the candy corn on them and Tray's have all the sprinkles. They were in heaven making them though.



Tray as Iron Man


My cute butterfly Kinlee. She was confused and would tell people she was a fairy though.



My cute Trick-or-treaters.

I found these cute masks at Target for a dollar. This is Kinlee meowing like a kitty.



I got these cute baby legs for Dylan, but his scrawny legs didn't fit. So I put them on Kinlee. She just looked so cute I thought.

Hello There!

I just realized I haven't posted since August. Well I have a reason for that, my laptop has been at the laptop doctor for 6 weeks now. I keep thinking that this week will be the week I'll get it back so I can upload pictures from all our summer adventures, but then the week just passes by without my beloved companion's return. I promise I have lots to post about, but what fun is a post without pictures. Not fun at all.

Name Game

I'm getting anxious!
I have my scheduled delivery date set for October 25th! Only 3 more weeks unless I go into labor on my own.

My baby still has no name. Instead of narrowing down a list of names I keep adding more to it! Poor kid will probably be called baby brother for the rest of his life.

Out of Pocket

I knew that having a baby would max out our insurance deductible and the kids have needed their tonsils out for a while so this was the year...
