Pumpkins

I still cannot find my camera. Ry and I searched and searched and still cannot find it. I am so sad! So I borrowed my neighbors and was able to get a few of Pres at the pumpkin patch with his preschool and the fam carving pumpkins for family night. Tanner chewed on the top of Hailey's pumpkin while we carved and thought that it was quite delicious!

Just a few thoughts....

So I cant find my camera and I have a few cute pictures to share...I will search again tomorrow! I have been sick twice in the last 2 weeks (no I am not preggo:) ). I don't know what my deal is. I throw up for a day and then have the chills and aches for a couple of days. I think that I just go go go and don't stop so I am more susceptible. Who knows! Ry so called in to work tonight and will hopefully be home in the wee hours. Poor guy didn't even get to eat my yummy roast before he left so I invited my neighbors over to enjoy it instead.
My dogs peanut and Meggie have been fighting for the last six months. I don't get how they could live together for a year and a half and have no problem with each other. I don't mean little fights, I mean full blown where I get bit and scratched fights. Any other normal, intelligent person would let them be but I intervene. Otherwise I would wind up with a very hurt or dead dog. Well ry and I left town last weekend and they did it again. My poor neighbor was there and had to break it up. Needless to say, when we got home meggie was pretty hurt and my peanut had to find a new home. I am way too attached. My same sweet neighbor took her in and I still get to see her.
I look at my sister in laws blog and when I grow up I want to be like her. She is amazing to me. She home schools, has very obedient well rounded children and still has time to blog almost everyday! Those are just some of the few things that I wish I could do to be like her. I am so scared to put my kiddos out into this scary world but then again how will they learn and grow.
I have decided that I am too hard on Preston. Lately when I get mad at him he cries. It makes me so sad. I am so grateful for little children. I need to remember that he hasn't been on this earth for that long and that I need to be more patient and teach instead of expect.
Speaking of little children... Today was our primary program. I have tears running down my face as they come up and say how grateful they are for Jesus Christ and sing beautiful songs. I look down the row and my dad is feeling the same emotions that I am. I know who I get it from!
That's it for now. Tomorrow I will find the camera and post more.

I found the cutest skeleton on the family fun website and had to make it!

How can one love three kiddos so much? I look at them and cant imagine having any more love exube from my body for them. Wouldnt trade my life for anything.





A little photo shoot

Love this picture of Preston. Ryan had just came home from work and they were racing. He looks so happy!

I feel so blessed today. I have had the flu for a couple of days...no fun. My neighbor took Hailey, Beth took Preston and my mom took Tanner. I planned on just having them gone for a few hours while I took a nap, but they took them for the day. On my door step I found some sprite, bananas, gingersnaps and applesause from my wonderful sister and tonight she brought me homemade bread and chicken noodle soup. Who could ask for more?!

My intentions are to post these the day I took them, but obviously that hasnt worked!


What more could you need in life?!!! So sad! Baseball game #1 on the large screen, baseball game #2 on the computer and X-Box on the small screen. Unfortunatly for them, the tv upstairs went out so up went the small tv!



Beautiful Sunday! In the trampoline picture, Ryan would lay under the trampoline and would push the kids as they jumped on his feet. They would fly!


Preston and Hailey helping me make stars for Tanners room
On another note. Hailey has started sucking her thumb and I dont know what to do! I sucked mine until I was 5. When she was a baby, she wasnt attatached to her binkies. When I am not looking she takes Tanners away from him. I dont know why all of the sudden she loves them and her thumb. Also...She is a terror for bedtimes. Tonight we bribed the kids with a trip to the Dollar Tree if they would go to bed by themselves. Preston gets do and surprisingly Hailey does not! I locked her in her room earlier tonight and she got out. She was so sad that she didnt get to go to the Dollar Tree and told me sorry. 3 more times she got out of her bed. (real sorry!) She told me she wanted to lock herslef in her room, so she did and she was not able to get the door lock off! Silly girl! Any suggestions for my sweet Haily would be appreciated!
Finally at 10 months Tanner has figured out how to crawl! He may not be fast but he is doing it!
