Better Late

I didn't really get any good trick or treating pictures, but I did manage to torture all three into posing in thier costumes! Cheese!

Cooper the Dragon, Kaylee the Strawberry, and Jackson the Ninja

The Rumors are True!

I think most everyone has heard through the grapevine by now that YES we are expecting a fourth baby this May!! We were a bit shocked at first because we did not plan it, but feel VERY BLESSED! I am about 3 months pregnant and Kaylee is almost 5 months old, so whip out the calculators- just shy of a year apart! Our house, and lives, will be very full indeed!

Baby Riley @ 8 weeks

Sorry Starbucks...

Every year around this time, Starbucks starts whipping up their delicious Pumpkin Spice Lattes. I could have three a day. Unfortunately for Starbucks, I have found this recipe (click on picture).

At Three Months...

You are such a little doll Kaylee! Here's what you are up to @ three months...

*You've been rolling over for a month now!

*You smile all the time and "talk" the most when having your diaper changed

*Only Daddy can make you laugh

*When irritated, you make a sound that can only be described as "girly"

* Your brothers are absolutely wrapped around your finger

*You are in awe of your brother's nonstop motion and noise

*Kiki McGee is your nickname. Sorry.

*VERY drooly already! Teeth?

*You like to hold and lick your little satin lovey blankets

* The swing is still your favorite place to snooze

First Day!!

Getting all handsome and such...
Blankie? Check.
Can Do Attitude? Check.

Daddy and his boysPerfunctory First Day Pic

How Kaylee and I spent the day... The scene at 7 pm- can I get an Amen?

A Prayer

Preschool starts September 9th at nine a.m.

Amen.

The New Do

A change, prompted by hormonal hair loss, a.k.a thank you Kaylee. She's totally worth it!

2 Months

cute as a button, and...

...totally adored...

Summer Bugs

Jackson has been bringing me a variety of creepy crawlies this summer, mostly rolly-pollies- a.k.a pillbugs. He even had a whole "jungle" of them until he realized he hadn't "watered" them in a few days. Life lesson...

Cooper stepped in a fireant mound and his little fat foot got even more fat. So painful! Everyday he'd want me to inspect his "boo-boos" and count them.

We've had a cockroach or two and I HATE them so much I can't help but scream when I see them. Jackson thinks this is hilarious and will now randomly scream out " Mommy, cockroach!" The first few times I came running with the raid...

So when Jackson yelled from the backyard to "come look at this bug", I was a little hesitant. But when I saw this dragonfly just hanging out, I ran to get my camera!

Yummy

This is so fun! I need an excuse to make this! Kaylee's 2 month birthday? Cooper being 2 1/2? School starting soon? Yes, yes, and yes...

Late and Not Perfect

That is pretty much the standard of everything I do these days. So as not to dissapoint, here are my late and not perfect Fourth of July Family Pictures.

Cooper was crying. Kaylee wasn't crazy about the grass touching her.

Cooper is bailing. Kaylee decides life outside the womb is really not all it's cracked up to be.

I tried to get creative here. I actually really like the fact that you only see chunky toes.

"Moooooooooooommmeee! Kaylee just pooooooooooooped! "

"It's just one more kid"

I've heard that phrase from many a seasoned mommy while preparing for the arrival of Kaylee, our third. "One to two kids is hard, two to three is just one more kid..."

Well, Jason and I had a moment while driving our brood around one day. Our Tahoe is FULL with that one more kid!

Kaylee's First Photoshoot

I've been so excited the whole time I was pregnant with Kaylee to try out my new camera and take pics "like the pros". So fun!! If only the boys would cooperate this well...
