Quickie

Yesterday 7 years ago we drove into our new drive way of our new house. I can't believe we have lived here for 7 years now. Also Nana is here... Kids are happy.

Cousin, 1st, 2nd

Above picture is some of them together at Gentry Farms, I am having trouble loading pictures.
Cousin's my kids and my husband have lots, and lots of cousins. Me I had two. I had lots of 2nd and 3rd cousins but just two. Jamie and Douglas. Jamie moved to TN about 4 years ago she now has a daughter that is about a month older then Chloe. So my kids have another 2nd cousin.

But really back to Michael and all his cousins. My girls have 3 girl cousins about to be 4. Loryn 13, Isabella 5, Irelynn 4, and Brooklyn due Jan. 3. They have two boy cousins Isreal 6(13 days older then Emily and her best friend), and Caleb 4. They have two step cousins Ethan 8 and Alex 6 honestly we could not have asked for better extra cousins. They are good kids.

And from there it gets crazy!! This post is about Cindy's brothers daughter Carrie. They live in Texas and came to TN this past week to visit and it was awesome. She has 2 boys Caden 4, and Caleb 2. We had a great time with them. Ashley and Caden really hit it off. Ashley always loves to hang with the new boy cousins. She has loved Mason, Brody and Aiden. (Other boy cousins, Marvin's side.)

Can I tell you how lucky these kids are to all get along and play so nice together. Carrie and her husband Craig were great too. They were going with the crazy flow, and loving the play time in TN.
I keep telling the girls how lucky they are to have so many wonderful cousins, like I said I only had two.

Making Pumpkins

I really like Pinterest they have great ideas. So made two pumpkins. Chloe helped with mummy one she painted glitter on it. Chloe had to have her mummy diva-ed. Gold and glitter.

It has come to this...

Chloe had her underwear hanging out the top of her pants this morning. I thought it was pretty funny. I still have more to catch up on but I and not feeling great!

Ring Farm

We went to the ring farm a couple of weeks ago. We have gone the last three years and have decided it's not worth the money anymore. The kids are getting board and it is getting more expensive. I forgot the camera so this is what I captured on my phone! We did have fun and it was a good way to pass away the afternoon.

Chick-kitty

Don't you have a pet chicken that acts like a cat? This is Lucky but we now call her kitty, mostly. This is one of the baby chicks from last Spring at Ashley's school. It thinks it is a cat because it was raised by a cat, kinda. It bends down for you to pet it and follows a momma cat and her kittens. Very cute, the kids love to pet her. We were hoping he was a boy but no such luck.

Just for you mom!

I am sick!! But I am trying to stay moving so I don't fall asleep and so Chloe and Ashley don't accidentally burn down the house. So Chloe should be a Shark this year Emily, Isabella and Ashley have all been a shark at the 2 year mark. But this princess will not have it! She wants to be Minnie Mouse and that is only because I banned princesses from our house this year. I need a break!!

There is also two cute pictures of Hazel with the girls she came to play one day after the library. And really Chloe wants her to come play again.

Also Chloe swallowed a penny this morning. She tried to hawk it up... it was funny. Then Michael asked her if she could make change for a dollar and she tried to hawk up the penny again.

There is a little boy in Ashley's class who wants to be her boy friend I told him NO. First he is not Ashley's type and second she is too young and daddy would be mad. His name is Joshua, he then told Ashley I guess we have to break up.

Chloe's Room

well Nana we finally got the bedding out that you bought Chloe for her birthday. This past weekend we washed everything and got it all set up. Michael went and bought a mattress too.

Here is Chloe's dresser with flowers made by my friend Nicole. My painted Love sign for Chloe's name. Her matching piggy bank Aunt Jenny got her last year.

This is lots of the blankets that my grandma has crocheted for me over the years. Plus the blanket Nana made for Chloe. Also you can see the Cross stitch "C" that my mom made for Chloe.

Here is a picture of Chloe's new mirror that she wanted low so she could look at her self. The girls doll house that Chloe loves to play with. And her bed.

Here is Chloe's bed, I fell in love with this bedding. It's so girly but not pink and purple. I am sure at some point Chloe will be really mad it is not purple but I love it!

You can see her little pink chair on the other side of her bed it is next to all her books. If she ever decides to sit and read for a bit. She has only fell out of bed once. But she did fall off the couch this morning.

Poke me in the eye!

At the eye doctor with Emily worst night mare. She is so sensitive to light. Praying she does NOT need glasses!

Morning a loss

I have not blogged much, I know. I think I am morning the loss of my last baby. She is pretty much a big girl these days. She sleeps in a big girl bed and pees in the potty every time poop too. I still see glimpse of the baby when I still have to help her pull up her pants, serious her arms are too short and or her butt is too big. I swear.

I need to take more pictures but I just have not! My girls are growing up before my vary eyes and I have some mixed emotions about it. I am excited for the days ahead you know walking for more then 5 minutes and no one complain.

But at the same time I have no crib in my house any more. Only diapers at night for Chloe and Ashley but I know in time that will go away too. It's just really strange I know Michael feels the same way.

The last two days were fall break and I enjoy the time with them but at the same time I don't! I am being honest, Ashley is going through something crazy she is one fussy gus. And it causes Emily to get cranky too. Also Chloe still thinks she is a princess and the world was created for her seriously mistaken.

I will post pictures soon, I promise!!

10-11-11

So Michael and I have now been married 8 years!! Wow where has the time gone?? Ohh I know to three kids.
We got to go out for our anniversary on Saturday night since Tuesday there was no school, we had parent teach conference and it was a school night.

Michael surprised me with a new pair of slippers I got to pick them out!! They are Uggs another item off my want list! They are super cute they are a new texture called boomer. Cozy and comfortable although since I got them it has not really been cold enough to wear them.

We went out to dinner at Bonefish grill. The bang bang shrimp was really good!! And that is about everything nice I can say about dinner. It was fun to go out just the two of us. We sat in a booth both on the same side of the table and we got to talk with no little people interrupting us. It was nice.

It was over quick and off to pick up the kids again. It was nice to have a couple of hours out to our selves. And visit with our baby sitters when we picked up the girls since they are Michael's parents who were married 39 years on Monday the day before us. I can't wait to celebrate 39 years with Michael. It's something to look forward too.

Ashley!!

How Ashley spent her real birthday. Besides seeing the baby cows at school. She opened her presents from Nana. Thank you Nana. I am seeing a theme here she loved her cow print chair. She likes her pillow too, it sits in her chair. We went to a cow's favorite place for dinner Chic-fil-a, they don't serve any cow there. See the theme?? They do kids night on Tuesday so it is kids eat free they had face painting and the same balloon guy from Ashley and Hazel's party.

It was a fun night and some cousin's joined us also which added to the FUN!!

On sadder news Snuggy Buggy was thrown away this weekend. Ashley was a bit sad but he was dirty and torn and we are working on the yard trying to grow grass. It's a muddy mud pit. Things are a bit out of order on the blog I know. But I have a app on my phone and it makes it soo easy to post some times. If I am in the mood.

Touch a truck

I think this is one of the best free things to do in town. Spring Hill really is a bubble. We are lucky to live here.

Ashley

Her self portrait. Pretty good I think for a girl who likes to color outside the lines.

2,4, and 6!

So I have realized I am more "normal" again. For the next 9 months I don't look as crazy when someone ask how old are they? It's not 6,4,3. Wow how time flies and I am glad my girls are close together and I am glad I am over with the baby making years before 30!! When Michael and I wanted to have kids that was my goal! I did not want to have them 17 years a part like some people!! My dad has a daughter turning 30 this year and a son entering his teenage years!! Crazy.

Emily will be 26 when I am 50!! She should be long out of our house. A starving artist I am sure. But I hope she full-fills the dream or becoming a author/illustrator.
Ashley will be 24 hopefully out of the house and done with school, tattoo school, I should say. Or face painting school she was into that the other night.
Chloe will be 22 she should hopefully just finishing college or a just recent graduate. She may still be living at home. As of right now if you asked what I think she will be when she grows up I say a princess. Or an actress, a voice over person for a scream seine. She is really good at that. I hope she becomes something really great like a nurse.

So I got totally off subject with what I think the kids will be when they grow up. But for now they are 2, 4 and 6 years old, and I would not trade it for anything. They are good girls for the most part. Messy but they get that from their mom and their Nana. Sorry to throw you under the bus mom.

Party part two in pictures!

Loved their party and love that we can do it together. Will see what we come up with next year!! Happy birthday Ashley and Hazel! Thank you Nicole and Jv for doing the party with us!!
