My kind of winter.

So this is my kind of winter so far. It's a balmy plus 13 out today. I'm in my Capri's and flip flops (which i still wear when it does snow). The last two day's the boys' (as in Blaze and Foxx) have been allowed to go outside to play. Blaze loves it out there. He cruises around the back yard for along time. Foxx does not last as long mostly because he's a little scared of Blaze, which i guess we all kinda are.

Much to Brad's dismay i do believe it may be a mild Winter.......Oh knock on wood. Brad is upset because he has the garden plot made up into a ice rink but he's waiting for it to freeze so he can actually put water in it.


Our sweet baby boy is growing up so fast. He's 4 1/2 months already and doing things way faster then the other kiddies. He's already got 2 teeth, He's rolling from back to front and front to back, and yes his latest thing is once he gets rolled over he's starting to scoot. Yep that's right Scoot. Blahhhhhh. He pulls his little knees up and then pulls with this arms. Boooo he's getting so big and learning to many things to fast (he does not get that from me)
This is him Scooting, I wish i was more tecnologically sound and could do a little movie of him.

Pretty exciting......

Today was the most amazing day!!!

Brad got to stay home from work since we came home a day early and he had already moved all his patients to the other hygenist chair. So he got up and did a tiling job this morning. And Blaze Knox and I kinda got the house cleaned up. Kinda meaning i cleaned and Blaze uncleaned. So we gave up on that pretty quickly and ran up to get the mail...................................

Yep that's the most exciting part. I got 3 parcles. One was Foxx new boots, which if fun. We are giving them to foxx for christmas.

Ok the second was my book!!!!

I use the blog a little bit like a journal and had every intenstion of printing off the post and keeping them in a binder but i have not yet done that, and i've got over 100 post and it seemed like a major undertaking that i just was not prepared to do. So when i heard about this company from another blog (thanks Jennie), I jumped on it. All you pretty much have to do is put in your blog address and it creates it into a book and prints it all off!!! I love it and im going to do it each year so it really can me my journal.

and third...............

Yep this one i opened and i let out a squeal. If your my family and are reading this you understand the squeal. I love fabric. I like to sit and look at it. Brad asked me what i was going to do with it all, And all i could reply is look at it. I'll make special trips out to my sewing room just to look at the fabric. Dumb i know but It's my addiction.

So in all Brad got to stay home (well kinda) I got Fabric and my book in the mail. See it does not take much to make me super happy!

Why i love these guys.....

We went on a road trip up to Lloyd to a craft show this weekend. The craft show was not as good for us this year but still not horribly bad. But we did get to have a super crazy fun weekend with Jayme and Lara.

On the way home today i got to thinking about my family and how much i love them, for example.....

This guy.............


What other person would volunteer to stay and watch all 7 kid's and Dad while we went to the craft show? He did not have to cause Jay did get the days off but still.
What other person takes care of the kids' with no complaint for 6 weekends in a row? Yep that's right 3 craft show weekends next weekend with the sisters/mom and two weekends after that so i can go do pictures for a couple weddings.
What other guy loves me when I'm ugly, smelly and grumpy????? yep that's right, That's my guy!

This Gal............



I love this Lil' Gal just because she is my only baby girl. She is the sweetest little girl. She is so mellow and mild(hehe). OK really she is super funny when i take the time to have patient and listen to what she is saying. She's got a great sense of humor. And patient she has for her 3 brothers and her mom who kinda bug's her. She is a sweet little girl who, with a little praise, Will work her little tush off just to make you happy.

Now this guy.....

He is a pain in my butt, but he sure is a cute one. This was him eating his lunch of Mento's and Sunny D. I love him cause he has never ending hugs and Smooches. He will not say hi to anyone or go with anyone but if a total stranger asks for a smooch he's right there ready to give one!

And B


The quite instigator. He silently starts' his sister going and leaves and hides and later claims he did nothing. He is fun to be around and has a good sense of humor oh if he could only get his knock knock jokes right and down to 10min./per joke, it would be funnier.

And Knox was sleeping just about the whole trip so i did not take a picture of him but he's such a sweet little boy. He's always always got a smile for anyone who talks to him. We are so happy to have him

As much as they all drive me crazy as a collective group sometimes, individually they are the best people I know and I love them all the more after crazy weekends like this one.
