Thanksgiving!


As I do every year and everyday.....I have a LOT to be thankful for.....

...down to the little things like all the pretties my kiddos make, I love the homemade treasures....they make me smile!

This was the "chicken" Katelin made at school! She also asked me while she was in the shower on Thursday morning if today was thanksgiving? I said yes we are going to Aunt Natty's. She says...we have to have turkey then! I know....Aunt Natty is cooking one. Katelin says, so she had to kill it. I simply say no she didn't. Katelin comes back with yes you have to kill the turkeys! Well Aunt Natty bought it at the store already dead. That seemed to satisfy her curiosity!



Our host with our newest little turkey....they match with the turkey apron and turkey bib.


A better view of her bib....sure do love my little turkey girl!


And see the beautiful center piece, well....


it is an original made by our own Haylie Grace....she did a great job!


The big boys spending quality time together!


And the little boys who were so busy playing ...I could barely get a pic of them!


And my silly Katelin enjoying her pie and whip cream....hold the pie please!


Very thankful to never have to go without food, I wish noone ever had to be without!


Nanny and Kinley.....the oldest and youngest member of our family!


Haylie loves this baby.....our 2 October babes!


Sleeping turkey!


Trying to get some smiles!


Me with my baby.....so thankful to have her here....happy and healthy!


What a great group of kids....love, love, love them!


The Lazenby clan!


This is what it looks like when trying to round up 5 kids for a family picture and....


this is why it is worth it.....so thankful for each and every one of them even during the crazy times!

Katelin


There are so many words to describe my sweet Katelin.....

Smart....she is writing her name, I am so proud.....



Creative and imaginative.....she found a business check book and added apples to the tree, and while drawing in checkbooks is a no no.....I have to say this put a big smile on my face and on daddy's!


Silly.....we went to Hillsdale lake (which is only a couple of miles from our house) to take some pics and she insisted on packing her suitcase and bringing a pillow and blanket, and while I was snapping pics of other kids she made use of her blanket and pillow and relaxed lakeside!


Beautiful, happy and fun.....just look at that face!


She makes me laugh. She makes me smile. She makes me a little crazy.
And I love her.....with all my heart!!!!

My other kids.....


No, I haven't forgotten about them.....trust me, they are loud and beautiful and crazy and wonderful.....and impossible to ever forget about! They have, however, probably been enjoying the fact that I have a new helpless little subject to take pictures of. And she is changing everyday so I have to take lots and lots of pictures but I have captured some of my other loves and I am here to share them with you now.....

This was taken waaaay back in August but it was such a fun thing for the kids, Evan had the hose and was trying to spray the kids while they hid behind umbrellas.....they had fun...like full on belly laughing fun.....these moments make me happy because my loves are happy!

 
Bedtime snack....apples!



Love seeing my girls happy together, not all of their moments are happy ones!


Go Gorillas....so proud of my O, he had a great season!


Another reason i'm sooo proud of this kid.....he shows RESPECT and even his teacher thinks so! He was one of the two kids in his class who got recognized for the character trait of the month of October of respect.....and I was one proud mama!!!!
 
Such a daddy's boy!


Rylie's bike got ran over and Owen had outgrown his so we took them awhile back to get new bikes and these are what they got!


Rylie is my little reader.....


and Owen has really been improving when it comes to reading and i'm very proud of him for that, it comes so easy to Rylie and it's been a little more of a struggle for Owen. Rylie will try to help him, it is very sweet....it also makes me very proud!


Oh my crazy Katelin girl.....Aunt Natty made Kinley some tutu's and Katelin wanted one so Aunt Natty made her one....here she is looking cute as can be in it!


2 of my girls.....being dancing machines! 
 

We had some sickies in our house, it started with Evan....he threw up all over my bed then it went through Owen and Katelin.....luckily everyone is better now!


Chet with our nephew John....he came out with his mom Sarah to watch the Chiefs game and meet baby Kinley a few weeks back! We really enjoyed seeing them!


This girl.....cooking up something and yes there is real liquad in her little pan....who knows what it was....she drives me bonkers sometimes but man....do I love her!!!!


Daddy had a rental truck for 2 weeks (not cheap) and the kids loved it, they spent well over an hour just hanging out in the truck!


My honey.....I sure do love him....he makes me happy!


I love his little football jammies or as he says "fooh ba"


Pippi long stalking?!?!?


And it begins....Rylie used to dress Owen up in little girl clothes all the time and now.....Katelin is starting to dress Evan up! He does look awfully cute, right?!?!?


Enjoying some hot chocolate with marshmellows on top!


All my kiddos eating some breakfast.....I sure am blessed! 


Posing for mama before daddy and I took them out to lunch!

 
My sweet, crazy, rambunctious boy....and I mean ALL boy is what this kid is!

 
I was looking through pics on my phone and found this.....what a goofball!
 
 
And then here she is again, sporting the fake mustache she got at the dentist office!

 
I tell you what.....my  kids sure can be clowns (pun fully intended)!
 
So see I haven't forgotten about my other kids, it's just my new little love takes up a lot of my time and she is changing so much everyday that I take a lot of pictures and post a lot of updates on her right now but i'm not neglecting my others. I really am pretty sure they enjoy the mamarazzi focusing a little less on them and they are pretty in love with their new baby sister just like I am....
 
Rylie adores Kinley.....
 
Owen is soooo gentle with her..... 

 
Katelin wants to hold her all the time and....
 
Evan....well....he is my crazy boy, he wants to hug and kiss her one minute and is throwing something at her the next but overall he does good with her!
