Hi, well it is November already, hard to believe. Whats even harder to believe is Katelin is 6 months old, time goes so fast. We had her 6 month check up and our little chunk is 18 lbs 10 oz. which puts her in the 90-95 percentile.


She had to get 5 shots including her flu shot and boy did she scream. Rylie and Owen also got flu shots and Owen cried for a few minutes but did real well. To those of you who know how Rylie is, i'm sure you can guess how she handled it. It took both Chet and I holding her down while she screamed "no mommy I don't want it". Then it was a half hour before she calmed down. They all survived thought. Katelin has a little bit of a virus, and it is even in her eye so she wakes up with a gunky eye every morning but she is still as happy as can be.

We bought her a jump-a-roo and she absolutely loves it, which is great for mommy cause it entertains her long enough for me to get some stuff done.

Owen got in a fight at school and earned his first black eye..........well not really but he did collide with another little boy while playing his happy feet soccer and over a week later he is still a little black under his eye.

Katelin still has this silly tongue thing she does, here she is outside on what was probably the last warm day we had for this year.

There's Katelin and her big beautiful blue eyes.......... Ihope all is well for everyone and we'll talk to you all soon.

Hi I hope everyone had a wonderful halloween, it was a beautiful night. We have had a very busy couple of weeks. Chet finally got to do his racing experience, he had a lot of fun(even though he had to drive a chevy and not a ford). The instructor riding with him made him a little nervous but he had a good time.




Here is Chet at his racing experience and the Chet and his dad.



No the kids were not dolly parton for halloween but this was too funny and i'm sure they will hate us someday for these pictures. Owen probably can't wait for Katelin to get big enough for Rylie to dress her up instead of him.








Since we live in the country we thought we should get a cow, isn't she the cutest cow you've ever seen?

I had to do a fun theme before the kids get too old and won't let me so we had our cowgirl, the sheriff and our little cow. The kids had fun, Rylie ended up going trick or treating with her friend Abby and we took Owen around my grandmas neighborhood. They didn't get a ton of candy but enough. Luckily they don't eat much candy and most of it usually ends up being thrown out anyway.

Here is Rylie at school for her fall party and Owen at preschool for his party. I bought him a spiderman costume because I knew he would like playing in it and he has basically had the thing on for 5 days straight, he has even slept in it a couple of nights.

Here are some pics of Katelin, she is just so happy and can just brighten your day with her sweet little smile. I love the tongue picture, i'm not sure why but she just started sticking her tongue out like in the picture, it just cracks us up. I can't believe she is almost 6 months old, time goes so fast. She is rolling around everywhere and sitting up pretty good. I hope she holds off on crawling until after the xmas tree is down but we will see........

Hi I hope everyone is enjoying the beginning of fall. I have posted a lot of pics this time, it is such a fun time of year to take pictures. After talking to several of you who get this through their email I found out it comes to your inboxes in a different format so if you want to see it with the pretty background and all just go directly to the webpage which is faragefamily.blogspot.com. I wanted to remind everyone that Chet is doing his racing experience at the speedway on Saturday at noon. It should be fun, hopefully not too cold. It is open to the public so if you want to watch him please come out.



Katelin still refuses the bottle so I introduced the sippy cup and she loves chewing on it and tasting her juice/water.


She is getting to big for her tub so we may have to move to the big tub soon, see all her cute chubs, she is also beginning to sit up although she topples over pretty quickly.


Here are the kiddos at the pumpkin patch and then a fun pic I took at home while trying to play photographer.


Katelin at home and then being engulfed by giant pumpkins at KC pumpkin patch

I thought this was cute, Rylie used to do the same thing to Owen when he was a baby.

Arg! Matey! Pirate Katelin



Abby, Haylie and Rylie and then Owen and Dylan on the train at the pumpkin patch


We were outnumbered when we went, our niece Haylie and nephew Dylan , Rylies new bff Abby and then our 3 kids. They wore out mommy, daddy, and Grammy.

Mr. Redneck and little miss redneck jr., Everyone who sees Katelin immediately comments on how she is the spittin image of her daddy. Which would be why I think she will look a lot like Jakee just lighter complected.

The kids are going to be a cowgirl and cowboy and then Katelin a little cow for halloween so it should be pretty darn cute, I will be sure to post pics in their costumes when I have them. So until next time, I hope all is well with everyone, have a fun and safe halloween.

I wanted to update everyone, Katelin had her 4 month check up and she weighed 15lbs 15oz. Since we had already started cereal, the doctor okayed her for 1st foods. She absolutely loves it. There has not been a single food she hasn't liked. Prunes were the only thing she seemed a little iffy on. She has also taken to sucking on two of her fingers, it's pretty darn cute. She discovered her feet and constantly has them in her hands.



We went and bought a highchair she likes being able to sit up a little more in it.


In case anyone ever wondered what Owen would look like with long brown hair, well here you go!


This is Rylie and her new best friend Abby. They are inseparable, she even had a sleepover with Abby and did great. My little girl is growing up!



The three stooges just lounging around.


Here is Rylie with her bottom two teeth missing.


Look its Chet and his mini me. Katelin looks so much like her Daddy, and neither of them have much hair. Daddy bites little pieces of ice off for her and she loves it. If she hears the glass of ice water, she just looks at him waiting for her piece.

Hi everybody,
Hope you all had a wonderful labor day weekend. I've been meaning to update this but with Rylie, Owen and I all in school, life has been hectic.


Owen started preschool 2 weeks ago. The first day went awesome, he didn't shed any tears ( I can't say the same for mom but I waited until I got to the car.LOL.) His second day, however, he cried and I had to peel him from the car. The second week he did great. He only goes twice a week and starting tomorrow we signed him up for this 30 minute soccer play thing at his school, so he will get to do that every Tuesday. Rylie is doing well at school and has a new best friend, Abby. She also lost her first tooth, we're expecting a visit from the toothfairy tonight.

We spent part of labor day weekend at the Niangua River with a bunch of friends. We camped out and it got very cold at night. On Saturday Chet, Rylie and Owen went on a 12 mile canoe trip. We were really worried the kids wouldn't do well but we should never underestimate them, they did awesome and had so much fun. They tipped over twice and handled it well and Rylie helped daddy work the oars and everything. We are very proud of them. I wasn't able to go because Katelin still won't take a bottle but next year we plan on going again.



Katelin loves to be outside so she enjoyed camping plus at night she got to sleep snuggled up with Mommy all night so she stayed good and warm. She was so good the whole weekend. We got many comments are how good all our kids were, it makes us very proud of them. Don't get me wrong they can be very awnry but they are good kids.



She really loves all her toys especially her caterpillar. She's been doing so good for Grammy and Daddy while i'm at school on Tuesday and Thursdays. Since she won't take a bottle we've been giving her cereal in the evening and it helps get her through until I get home on school nights. She seems to really like it. Next Monday is her 4 month check up, i'm anxious to see how much she weighs.
