Pumpkins...pumpkins....pumpkins!!

Ok I took WAY too many pics.  But, who can resist at such a great pumpkin farm!

Kick Butt Bootcamp!

This is the final week of boot camp ):  I am still trying to convince Alan I need to go one more time (wink wink)!
With one week to go I am down 15 lbs!!!!!  Yippee....Okay so I still have 15 more to go but who's counting.
 Here is the BEFORE!

AFTER:

OK so your probably can't tell I have lost weight. Alot of it was my mommy tummy!
This is a little hike we took on Sunday.  I have no make-up on and my hair is not done...... but this is the everyday ME!
UPDATE:  Yipee!  I got weighed and measured today and I lost 2 more pounds and 3% body fat!!!

Sassy Lassy

OH MY!  Reese has been our sassy lassy lately!  Especially when it comes to pictures, she likes to be center of attention!

On regrets....

   I have always tried to live my life true to who I am ....no regrets.  And I think I am pretty proud of most of my choices.  But, looking back on what i know now there is one think I might change.  

  Seeing what wonderful friends (best friends) Savannah and Kendall are I wish I would have been able to have all my children 12 months apart!  Yes thinking about the logistics of caring for so many little people would be hard. But, I know now that it would be easier later on.  Our other kids love each other tons but, there is just something special between these two.  Especially since people don't believe that they are even sisters since they look/act so different!  I love them to pieces.  They are my twins I never had! 

18 Month-er

Bronson has now graduated to NURSERY!!!   He did awesome today and could care less if we are there with him or not!  The leader did tell me he was so tired and would whine and then lay down for a minute and get up and play again!  He has a hard time on Sunday and wants to take his normal 2 naps.

At 18 months-
:: He loves to be chased around
::Can say "nigh-nigh" "Bye-Bye" "Shhh"-shoe "Uh-OH"
::Runs really really fast
::Can hear a bathroom door left open from across the house!
::Is super naughty....see above
::Brings the sunshine with him every morning
 He is so darn cute, he must get a hundred hugs and kisses everyday from his family.  OH man we love our little man to pieces....naughtiness and all! 

A race to remember...

Kendall came in second! She was fast but did you see the girl that was a foot taller than her..... she is the one that won!




Savannah started out slow but really was fast at the end! She came in second!

They came. They ran. They did not cry!
This was the girls second year racing at there school and it was a vast improvement from last year. This time Savannah came in 2nd (she was towards the end last year) and Kendall took 2nd (she was the one crying last year that she did not win 1st)!

Tuesday 3:45

School, home, snack,......play with every doll house and barbies with your sisters....CHECK

Rain or Shine.......

Come rain or shine-12:26 -we went on a walk to see the chickens, cows, and goats.

I heart family.......

Reese and my Dad
The girls after church
I miss em already (: (the family at Roosters!)

All Day-ers!

School started last Wednesday for us! Now we have 2 ALL Day-ers. Savannah returned as the seasoned second grader while Kendall started her first full day of 1st Grade. They both LOVE their Teachers, recess, and lunch! Kendall came home the first day and said,"This day took forever!" I was a bit nervous but on the second day she came home and said,"I LOVE school!" Since they wear uniforms they did not get any new clothes so they loved their new blue shoes and backpacks (covered in peace signs).
I miss them terribly, but love to hear each day all about their adventures!

High in the sky

Bronson....he looks so peacefully on the swing!
All 4 kids on the swings!
What is it with swings that kids love so much? What ever it is our kids LOVE them. Reese especially will spends all her time at the park on the swing. She likes to be pushes as high as the swing will go! Fearless and loving every second!

17 months

This scrappy looking baby is 17 months! He is just pure sunshine. He is so happy and so darn busy. He no longer walks......he ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuns!
He is still very toothless. In the second pic you can see alll of his teeth. One big one on top and two bottom teeth. THAT'S IT! We love him more and more everyday (is that possible)

Things I don't wanna forget!

I always think...."I will never forget that", but sadly, with time, my memories fade a bit! These are a few silly things that I don't want to forget!
How Kendall needs to talk nose to nose with you and talk VERY LOUD! Yes, we are still trying to teach her what an "inside voice" is and that if you are talking and spitting on someone at the same time......................back up!

Savannah cannot sit on a chair and eat! Seriously! She has compromised and will sit a cheek down on the bar stool or will have one knee down at the table!

Reese cannot put her shoes on the right feet. She puts on her shoes wrong EVERY TIME! People in the store point it out all the time, but she doesn't care and can walk just fine!
For some reason straight on pictures of Bronson make him look cross-eyed. Weird!

Snow in July??

Nope....Just a trip to Beus Pond! We had a picnic here last Sunday (I love lazy Sunday days!) and we were quite surprised with how much cotton/fuzz there was. In case you are tempted to eat some...Bronson says it doesn't taste so good!
