Birthday Highlights !

Here they finally are, pictures from Chunk-A and Sissy Birthday, Chunk insisted on a Chuckie Cheese Birthday and Sissy agreed so that is what they got, with just a few friends as in not to break the budget :)

Thanksgiving at the Beach!

As tradition in our family we were off to my sister's (Aunt Sitter) for the Thanksgiving holiday.  This year it was at the beach, our favorite.  We stayed at a near by condo, with four double beds and indoor pool, and hot "lava" pool as the littles call it.  

Here are my favorite pictures:

Look who's Three!!

Hard to believe my baby is Three! So super fun, you make everyone smile, so full of life, fun and laughter.  You work hard to keep up with your brothers never want to be left behind, so willing to go, go, go! Most helpful, most messy, most bossy silly girl, there ever was, you make us smile.  Threatening to not let us come to your birthday, even after it was over, still not going to the potty, still sleeping in your crib, super smart firecracker, what a shock you were to us, and the best blessing ever, we love you sweet girl.  Favorite story from this week is: we are in the car you tell me to push play on the DVD in the car so I do you keep telling me to push play, finally I said to you "I did push play" and you say "no you not, you just pushing buttons":).

Someone is Six!

Happy Birthday my big Six year old, going to Kindergarten, learning bible verses, still liking Toy Story but unwilling to admit it, claiming they are baby toys, soccer playing, skateboarding, basketball playing funny guy, wearing size 7's and a 3 shoe, you are a big guy and we love you, and are so glad God made you ours. 

Halloween Fun!

One little

Three little ninja boys.....

And a princess Dora without her wig on....

Hanging out on the rock wall....

Having lots of hay wagon fun... hope yours was as fun as ours...

Soccer Time!

So thrilled to get to play ball again, until he actually had to do it! But he came around and almost scored twice in his last game and got a little fight in him during the last two games.  One game earlier he did score so, one goal this season.  We moved him up a age group into the 6-8 age group, even though it meant he was one of the youngest, but not the smallest. I think it was a good choice he got challenged and did not run over anyone smaller than him, that is always a good thing. 

Corn Maze Fun!

A fun family fun day at the local corn maze a yearly favorite of ours. A family tradition I hope my kids will remember fondly. 

New Family Member

 HEE HEE - Did I get ya?

Newest Family Member: Pirate the dog 4 months old very tolerant of small children walking (ie dragging him by the collar) and hugs (ie squeezing his neck til he cant breathe), Lord bless him it takes it all with a wagging tail.

The day is here....school for two!

Soon after we took Sissy girl in, I began looking ahead to when I would have two in full time school.  Today two when to school, T-monster to 3rd, be still my heart, and Chunk-A to Kindergarten. Chunk was a bit nervous but go in the car this afternoon all smiles.  I was please to be down to two kids, felt like a vacation, after having all four all day everyday for the last three weeks.  I missed them but was so glad to get things done without tons of hassle, which usually occurs when I have to take all four anywhere.  Next week I will start having 6 hours a week to myself and 6 hours with just one child, Lord have mercy, I have already started my lists of things to accomplish, and have already scheduled my massage, LOL. 

2012 3rd grade look out!

 He has gotten huge since last year, he grew almost 4 inches, and gained 18 pounds! Can you tell?

Just for comparison this is first day last year!

Nervous but excited to for Kindergarten!

All Mine!!

So we finally received the adoption decree, she is all ours!! We could not be more thrilled. Our so full of personality it comes out of her ears, bossy, do it herself, not to left out or behind, not so little Sissy Girl.  We could not be more thrilled to have it in print, what we have felt in our hearts all along, we LOVE you so!!

Beach Fun!

Now that July is over, I thought I would show you our fun time at Aunt Sitter's beach:

We took the boys to see the Pirate show, they LOVED it,

We had great seats for the fireworks,

At least their feet can be happy and still, for a minute anyway,

Lots of fun boat rides, yea

Catching the waves " oh yea!"
