Merry Christmas!

5 Months

Today feels weird - there is no way that Miss Amelie is 5 months old.

No. Way.

She ate bananas tonight. Loved them!

She sat up by herself. Just once, but still.

I wish those teeth would push through already, they're still bothering her. 

She still wakes up once a night, but it's ok with me.

My very last baby.... and she's perfect.

She loves me, and I love her!

Just look at that face!

18 week - 19 weeks

20 weeks - 21 weeks

Friday

Right now Amelie is rolling and wiggling around on the floor, Jared is pretending to be "Sparkle the baby cat", and Gavin is playing with a power ranger he gave two lego swords. 

Amelie is whining. She's teething. I wish those teeth would come through already! 

Jared's pants are on backwards. 

I'm wearing pants that should just be thrown away.

 It's calm here. I love the days Gavin doesn't have school. 

Jared calls all pillows "Pillow Pets".

Pretty girl. Sometimes I think she's weird looking, but she's not.

Trick or Treat!

Happy Halloween!

Batman - Robin- and their sidekick Teddy Bear!

Gavin was still a little sick, so it didn't last long, but they had the best time Trick or Treating. All the candy is gone already! And I didn't get ANY!

There was a haunted house, but we did not go in!

4 Months

My girl.

Little pudgy, smiley thing.

I love you more than words can say.

4 month things:

Laughter (just a little)

Rolling (you get stuck on your stomach)

Eating (one bite of banana)

Playing (you're amazed when you grasp something!)

 14 weeks - 15 weeks

16 weeks - 17 weeks

Leaf Party!

Yes, it's fall!

Last weekend we invited a group of friends, made some awesome food, raked a pile of leaves,

and let the kids go crazy!

It was a gorgeous day and there were plenty of leaves!

The boys ran

they jumped

they dove

and laughed!

The little guys were so worn out - we were there for 6 hours!

Mostly, I sat around and snacked,

but as you see, I wasn't alone

It was the perfect fall day :)

Now, for trick or treating on Monday!

25 Year Old Overalls

These were my overalls :)

Then they were my little brothers.

Now all my kids have worn them, and they still look great.

Love it!
