Brooklyn's view

She got my camera, here are some pics she took--lol

Thanksgiving #1

Grandma and Grandpa are heading to TX for the real Thanksgiving day, so we had our dinner early...which brought up a question WHY do we only eat this fabulous food once a year--lol
Our Menu: turkey, smashed potatoes, stuffing, cream corn, green bean cassarole, pecan pie, pumpkin pie, pumpkin cheesecake, muffy fluffy--YUMMY!!!

always waiting on food

deviled eggs--Aydan ate half of them himself

little show off

predinner snacks

papas chapstick

Aydan and Brooklyn set the table!!

chow time

Gobble

So I found these little guys on Pintrest--they are so cute but kind of a pain to make (lots of little details--not good for a impatient person hahaha)

kids liked them!!!

A day with Domma

Brooklyn loves here one on one with Domma time!! This past week they sang, read books, baked cookies and played Barbies!!

Is this his calling??

Maybe just maybe!! Zach preformed in the Annie play at the high school! It was fun to watch him, he is so funny and totally into acting!
The 3 littles did an awesome job too, sitting there for almost 3 hours!!!

Santa MAKES the toys

In the car Aydan was going over what he wanted for Christmas..
I go: Well Aydan Santa told me you can only pick two things cause he is has little money
A-What?? mom Santa makes the toys--he has tons of elves and they make them all--He dosen't need money to buy them
M-OH
A-DUH mom

I am so thankful...

....all my kiddos!! I can not imagine life without any of them!!! They drive me crazy but make me laugh at the same time!! I am so fortunate to be able to stay home and not miss anything!

Zach-he is growing up so fast! He helps me out so much when dad is gone. He has learned that if he helps he gets to do thing (imagine that). His sense of human has grown with him--he cracks me up sometimes!! He is very involved in school--orchestra, marching guard, and the play!! He will be driving very soon!!

Quintin-is my athletic jock for sure! This year he rocked it in football, and is doing great in basketball (except his team mates suck) he seriously jumps like a cat hahah.. He is growing so fast too, he is still very compassionate and a pain at the same time--don't know how he does that but he always has!!

Aydan-This child makes me laugh every single day!! The things he says are hilarious!! 1st grade is awesome for him--he is excelling (of course). He is a gamer though loves those video games and gets mad at me cause I limit him--lol He still sleeps with his cookie (poor cookie is getting old)

Brooklyn-oh the diva princess!! She is a mother hen to everyone. She herds Kyndal around (drives kyndal nuts) She is so caring too.  THEN she decides to throw a fit--WOAH watch out--time outs are not her thing, a swat and sent to her room is what seems to work right now!

Kyndal--oh the baby--she is not staying a baby like I want her too!! She too has a mind of her own, she follows the other kids around and can do what they do no matter what! Her little personality is really popping--sometimes good other times not so good--she is a good fit thrower and screams from the time out chair--oivay!!

They are all growing so fast I cant believe it!! Got to enjoy every moment as I have them!!

ooopps I am behind on my posts...

so sorry about that fans of ours--lol
 We have been a busy household (as always) Q is playing Basketball, Zach is in the school play--so lots of running around!!!
Other than that not much going on except the normal house stuff, cleaning, messing it up--tons of laundry--haha (which you all know I LOVE) dropping off and picking kids up from school and so on!
We have had a few very nice days so we are trying to enjoy them before it gets super cold and we cant go outside!

Thankful #2

Today I would like to say IAN...he is the bestest dad husband anyone could ask for.  Now dont get me wrong he drives me batshit crazy sometimes.... He works so much, misses so many kid activities so that I can stay home and not miss anything!! He loves loves to be home with the kids, and spends every single day off with them (even our date nights are family nights).

M-Um Zach there are some things a mom does not need to know, and noises from the shower are one of them
Z-OH Geez mom really
hahahahah

Basketball we love it...

we do but this game I just watched was BRUTAL (48-4)!!! SERIOUSLY!! Yes I am that screamin mama in the stands!! I think Q was the only one who knew how to play--I got alot of dirty looks from parents but lets be real--your kid can't play, they cant pass, cant shoot and wont run!! hahahah I did get a look from one of the coaches when I yelled--what sport are your guys playing?? I came to watch Basketball--and Is there only 1 kid playing the game--hahahah
There was another dad screaming along with me, so I wasnt the only one!!

But all in all Q did great--he runs after the ball, rebounds the ball, shoots and makes the shot--Good Job Q!!! you did what you could with the team you have :)

Smell that???

I don't know about you but just the smell of Doritos makes me want to eat the who bag!!! What do they put in that cheese--lol

She sucks the cheese off

Spazo Kitty

Our new little addition is a crazy kitty (fits in--lol)
 I havent heard her meow much or purr at all--but she hisses at everything HA.....she runs up and down the stairs and her little 3lb self sounds like a heard of elephants--LOL if you walk past the bed she will attack your foot!!! She is not fond of the dog and costantly hisses at her (which confuses Maggie--lol) Brooklyn carries her everywhere and she just hangs there when she does hahahah
She is cute though!!

Piggy Tails

Her hair is finally long enough for piggy tails--so cute!!

What do I do all day??
