March!?...Already?

Where has the time gone? This year is flying by and it makes me a bit sad. This is the last year for my babies to be babies, at least somewhat. Come August we will forever be at the mercy of the academic calendar, okay not forever, but at least for the next 14 years! That means no more trips on a whim just to get away from it all, and THAT will be hard for us.



My boys are growing like weeds these days and are really developing strong personalities of their own. Which, I might add, is not always a good thing! They do tend to be a bit on the stubborn side....they must get that from their Daddy, because me........stubborn........... never!



Here are a few pics of them just being the crazy boys I know and love so much. Enjoy!

Why couldn't I have had a little girl?

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore my precious boys and (most days =}) I wouldn't trade 'em for the world. And I'm sure if I did have a little girl I'd have gone broke a long time ago, especially since I am already a shopaholic when it comes to the boys and there aren't near as many cute things out there for boys as there is for girls! BUT..... I have all these really cute creative ideas for "girly" things and yet no girls to make them for. All of my friends have all boys, and I do have a cousin with a little princess but she too is crafty and makes all these things herself, soooo...............

I do have a cousin, who I RARELY see, that has a five month old little girl so I decided to unleash some of my creativity into some cute outfits for her. I had a blast making them, but instead of scratching my creative itch, it only gave me hundreds of more ideas of things to make.

And of course, ALL Princesses should have a tutu!

Okay ladies, since my hubby says no more kiddos, one of you need to have a little girl so I can go crazy making things for her!!!

Reflections.....

Okay so it has been a month since I last posted.....bad mommy! Things just got incredibly crazy around here for a while. First there were the Holidays and spending time with family, then we ended up with a nasty cold virus that cycled through all of us, not once but TWICE, and lasted for THREE weeks before we were are feeling better.

Now that things are somewhat back to normal in the health department we have been focusing on selling a house, Brady is taking some classes, and I have been substituting at AJ's school for the past three weeks. We are definately staying busy but it's actually been really nice.

Any-who, since we've been in a whirlwind around here I haven't really even touched my camera this month - SOOO not like me!! So I thought instead, that I would share with you a few pics of my babies when they were, in fact, babies and how big they are these days. I miss the days when they were always happy and cuddly!

My sweet babies aren't really babies anymore........

'Tis the Season!

Here are a few pics of the boys getting in the Christmas spirit!

My BIG Boy!!!

Okay, so I've been terrible lately at updating my blog. It's just that with the holidays, AJ's birthday and me substituting at his school, I've been so busy I hadn't gotten to it.


So, AJ turned 5 (I can't believe how fast time has flown by :( ) on November 21 and we had a Mad Science themed party for him because he is soooo into science right now. It was a great party and the kiddos all seemed to really enjoy themseleves! I'll admit that it was a bit hectic at times trying to do experiments with 10 kiddos but they had a lot of fun so it was all worth it!


However, because I was so busy with the kids I didn't get a chance to pick up my camera so I had to rely on our good friend Kelly to send me the pics she got....THANKS KELLY, LOVE YOU!!


Sorry they are getting posted two weeks late, but hey..... it is what it is, right!?!?

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Just wanted to wish everyone a wonderful and safe Turkey Day! This year was very different for us in that most of my family went out of town so it was a quiet day around here....which is probably for the best since I feel AWFUL today! And I was SOOO looking forward to a huge plate of yummy food... maybe tomorrow!

More doggie pics...
