Give Thanks Day 10

I am thankful for things that make my life easy. Lately it has been my cheap little juicer and my super nice food processor. I now enjoy making my own soups and baby food. The juicer has been a big hit with the kids! If you have a favorite juicing recipe...be sure to share (:

Give Thanks ...Day 7 and 8

Whoops! Ok so posting everyday is a bit hard! So here are 2 days in one!
::I am thankful for our sweet Reese! We sure love our sassy lassy! Reese is 2 and she is my shadow! She follows me around and dose everything that I do (which I don't mind 95% of the time). She is spunky and fun. He favorite past time is eating....anything. She can get herself dressed, but prefers to wear nothing. I know that 3 is just around the corner, and 3's are always tuffer than the 2's. So here is our creative little girl blowing milk bubbles! I have never seen it before and was amazed! We all watched her blow these gigantic bubbles until Alan saw what she was doing and stopped the fun (:

::I am also thankful for REDBOX. Yup, we have no money to go out on dates so we rent a movie for a buck! We are watching one right now!

Thanks-Day 6

I am Thankful for warm November days! Heaven knows these 2 little girls need to run around to get rid of their excess energy! I start getting stir crazy in the winter, so today was a nice surprise!

Reese is soaking up some Vitamin D!

Kendall making a chalk city!

Day 5

I am thankful for PRAYER. Click here to read about a family who could use some today. I cannot image being told when you were pregnant that your baby won't survive. Then having a miricle when he is born....now he just turned 1 and is on his way for a major surgury. This young family has relied on prayer for the past 12 months and I know it has helped our small family too!

Thanksgiving edition-2009

Alright it is November and time to say thanks!! I will try and post everyday something that I am thankful for! I know I am already behind but here it is!
::I am thankful for- CREATIVE PEOPLE. Seriously, there are a ton of YOU out there and I just love reading and looking at what you can do. Here is a sight that i have been drooling over for a year now! (feel free to get anything from this site for my girlies!) One day I will learn to sew and then make some of these.Sophisticated Savannah

A sweet Reese...yes i am in love with the ruffle leggings!

Kendall with the striped tights!

OH! Do you think any of them will let me put them in knickers and striped tights????

Happy Hallow's Eve

A few weeks ago when Kendall was sick I snapped a few pictures of Ballerina Girl (Reese) and a Flapper (Savannah)

Bronson has a shirt that says I love my mummy! (Thanks Grandma Kar!)

Kendall is our Angel this year! Although a wolf dressed up in an angel suit is a more accurate description of how she has been this week (her six year molars are coming in)!

Happy Haunting!

When pigs fly! (I wish they would at our house)

Grumpie and Grumpier!

This is generally how we are ALL feeling!!!

Well it was getting a bit grim here. There was talk of a pandemic virus that targeted the healthy and the young.

I was vigilant about calling my doctors office asking when they would get the vaccine. No vaccine....no vaccine..... Slowly my children came home from school one by one with fevers, cough, and a general feeling of horribleness.

I kept calling....they have the vaccine but only 600 doses for your county (and if you haven't guess we were not one of the lucky ones).

Soon I had not one...not two...but three little girls who got vaccinated naturally (that's right all 3 got the piggy flu!). Well glad to say that we are on the mend and everyone is just really crabby.

Bronson has avoided the flu so far (thanks to his Grampa he is partially vaccinated he will get another dose in 4 weeks, then he should be in the clear) but, he is stillcrabby from a stuffy nose and low grade fever. I am hoping this is it for the sickies for the rest of the year! We are all tired and in need of some sleep (:

Oh sweet Bronson is ANOTHER month older and wiser!
::He is now eating solids! A big step and Mr. B is a big eater too! So far he loves EVERYTHING we have ever given him!
::Bronson can now do a 360 on his belly! Talented I know. He can't get his belly off the ground yet but, that won't keep him from getting into things!
::Bronson keeps getting his chunky little legs wedged between the crib rails. I'm not sure how he does this either!
::Eye infections are GONE and tear ducts UNPLUGGED! Completely healed. NOt by medical professionals.....It just decided to get better on its own.
::Still nursing. What can I say.....he loves to eat. However, a new habit has developed. He now entertains himself by using his free arm to pelt and hit my chest or face, scratch my arm, chest, or face, or pulls down my shirt or pulls off any blanket or nursing cover I have):
::Is our ONLY tummy sleeper! WEIRD! I thought babies hated to sleep on their tummies.
::Has the biggest smile and loves to be the CENTER of the UNIVERSE!!!

We picked a book as our Birthday party themes this year. Savannah picked "pink-a-licious"

Savannah- What can we say. You have forever changed our lives 7 years ago making us parents for the first time. We know you were sent to us first for a reason. You are a wonderful shining example to your younger siblings. You always try to do your best in all things. You have been the EASIEST child and toddler ever! We love your silliness and we are now starting to see your sassyness! You are so bright, beautiful, and loving! We love you so much!
