My beautiful girl!



1-23-13
Swinging on a gorgeous January day!

1-24-13
Every once in a while we end up with 4 kids in our bed, that makes 6 of us total....we don't all fit in the king size bed to well and Yes, I actually was squeezed in there between Kinley and Chet!

1-25-13
There is that smile that I Love soooo much!

1-26-13
Me and my handsome boys (and a screaming Kinley who I assure you I tended to as soon as this picture was snapped)

1-27-13
Look at that sweet sweet little face.....oh I love her sooooo much and she loves sitting in her new highchair it is really handy when i'm making dinner and she can still see me!

I had to share one more picture from this day because my beautiful girl finally got her ears pierced after years of wanting to but always being to scared to do it......she looks so pretty with her new earrings.

1-28-13
This child wears me out but I that's okay....i'm grateful she is here and healthy and able to wear me out and drive me bananas!!!! I am also thankful when she goes to sleep at night and I get a little quiet time!

 

Who needs snow???

My redneck kids figured out a way to go sledding without it (Owen and Dylan get the credit)



Mulch sledding is apparently just as much fun!

Fun times....

and not just for

the kiddos....

but also for the biggest....

kid of all!

 

Name that book?

Owen has been struggling a little bit in school especially with reading so we are working really hard on it at home.

One night Katelin and I climbed up on the top bunk of his bed with him so he could read us a story......


eventually Evan joined us too.....

Owen did a great job, i'm proud of him....he is getting there! This particular night he chose a rather popular book....can you name it????

While your thinking about it....I will share a pic of my Ry reading a book, she reads in bed every night before lights out....

currently she is really enjoying a chicken soup for the soul book, I used to read those all the time!

And of course Katelin wanted her picture taken with one of her books!


So did you figure out the name of the book Owen was reading.......

 

Yeap....Chicka Chicka Boom Boom!!!!

 

Week 3

The first time i've seen her sleeping with her arms above her head like her daddy does!

Apparently we have an internet cafe at our house!

A beautiful January day so I played some ball with my boy!

Our baby sis!

1-21-13
A trip to Home Depot (notice who's pushing the cart)!

 

John Deere Baby

She just looks so darn cute wearing her big brothers hat (it first belonged to Owen and then Evan)....



that I had to share the pictures!

 

 

Weird ailments.....

this child of mine gets! The one kid I have that loves school had to miss her first day back after winter break because of this......



Even our doctor was baffled, usually these type of rashes are widespread over the body but Katelin just had this one little splotch and a fever but.....

it didn't keep her down, she even made an ice cream cone to share with Kinley!

 

Hey guys.....

whatcha doin????

 

I wanna see.....

 

ooooh that is pretty cool!

 

What looks like an ordinary closet.....

is not just an ordinary closet! You see Rylie being the oldest sometimes gets annoyed with younger siblings messing with her stuff so....



she found a solution....well....at least a solution for....

her gum!

She let me in on the secret, just in case I wanted a piece!

Guess what I found on my camera......

self portraits of my beautiful girl....



and not just one....

but many with

many different faces.....

but....

her beautiful face....

isn't all....

she took pictures of!

She took a picture of the TV....

and her baby sister.....

she also got these two rotten boys.

She took pictures of dolls, this one is a little creepy.

not sure what Strawberry is doing.

She even played around with the lighting!

and took a milestone 3 month photo.

Oh look.....not only a pic of Kinley but also the photographer's foot!

HELLO....Kinley!

She likes the close up's

and one last one of mama and Kinley!!!!
