First day of school!

Well, last week the kids headed back to school. Sean is now in first grade!
We went to the ice cream social to drop off their gear and meet the new teachers, then it's been all downhill at a fast pace from there!









Two down, two to go!

Long time, no blog!

Well, summer is almost gone, kids are in school and life is getting a tad less hectic.... I hope anyway!
We took a trip to our hometown in Canada and spent 2 weeks there, visiting as many friends and family as we could, while doing some fun things in between. Jeff got to try out Kayaking for the first time, we took the kids camping (in style of course, with rv's and jet skis and golf carts LOL!) We had a blast, we just wish we had more time to space everything out!
Here are a few highlights of the trip:

Addison is 9 months old!

time has flown! Addison is 9 months old! She sits, she crawls, she eats big kid food, if we held her hands to help her "walk" all day she would!

I have been working on my photoshop skills with boosting colors and contrasts so of course the brats end up being my guinea pigs:

Princess Addie in her room:

Look at those lashes!

and here are my chair shots of each kid -- Camryn:

I also took ones with the boys together and girls together :

I love the look Sean is giving LOL! He is such a ham!

Baby Hayden

I took pregnancy pic of my friend, C and I finally got to meet Hayden! I took pics for her baby announcement card and got a little shutter happy!
Here are my favorites:

I took a similar one like this when C was pregnant:

I love this one with her cute little mop!

She looks so tiny in this chair!

The new parents

Ghetto Couture

So I put my scrapbooking tools to good use, but this one by far is my favorite! Making my own shirts using my Cricut!
This is Addison's :

(does this diaper make my butt look big?)

And here are Sean's:

(sofa king cool --read it fast! get it?)


(chicks dig me)

Logan's:

(this is how I roll)

And Camryn's:

No.More.Babies!

That includes puppies! We looked in our neighbor's back yard and we saw this little white thing, rabbit? Rodent of some type? Nope, it was a 6 week old Westie! Camryn was in love!






Bailey was a litter of 9 puppies raised by a dachsund! The mom was sold before they found out she was expecting and they didn't want puppies so they stayed behind. She was 6 weeks old to the day when we met her. Sooo tiny, and in dire need of a bath after being stuck in a kennel with all of her brothers and sisters LOL! but still cute!

Arrgh Matey!

Logan came downstairs and said "Mommy, I'm a pirate! I'm Captum Jack Sparrow!" I turn around and look as he is coming down the stairs and sure enough, he's got his pirate gear on and nothing else LOL! All I could think of while I was snapping away is "boy, this kid is gonna hate me when he gets married and these pics show up in his slideshow" LOL!
He makes a pretty cute pirate though!
