Birthday Pary Fun

Today we got to go to the Neverland Clubhouse at Disney for Dominick's 4th and Dorians 7th birthday. It was so much fun. They had video games to play, movies to watch, a tattoo station, pirate bandannas to color, toys to play with and food. That was my favorite part. Thanks for inviting us again this year!!

~In this picture I so think of "A Little Fellow Follows Me"~

Me and baby sis

Daddy being silly...like normal and Case thinks he is crazy!

Video game time

What a little dude to be playing on these big video games.

She is so big now...makes my heart hurt but in a good way.

Tattoo time - boys got pirates, girls got princesses. Even Brae got one.

Bandanna Time

She is so silly - he horses head really moved

These are the only pics I could get of the Birthday boys. They kept moving.

Hot Potato with a Mr Potato Head

Colt dressed up there in some pirate clothes

I think this is the sweetest picture.

Birthday party's are tough...lol

Deep Purple is so the New Black!

I still have a ton to post from Christmas but I just had to put this one in. I have fallen in love with the new deep purple that is out now. I have never been a big fan of the color purple until this shade came out and now I have a ton of shirts in this color and everytime I go to look at clothes I look at the purple stuff. Well I got this adorable dress for Brae at Old Navy for like $5 and then I made this cool flower. Yes I made it...I am so proud of myself!!! I also got these shoes at Children's Place on clearance last year...aren't they the cutest things you have ever seen. I wish they had them in my size!!

Me and my baby girl...both in purple...ha!
I love those cheeks. Braelyn now weighs 20 lbs at 8 months.

So not lady like but love her expression!

Davis is the best big sister any kid could ask for. She is the best helper any mommy could ask for as well. Don't you just love the shoes!


Davis took this one, a bit off center but a good shot of the shoes.

Davis took this one too, its a bit on the glowing side but I had to post it, I think Braelyn looks like me in this picture...what do you think? Please say yes...there has to be hope out there that she will look like me and Davis instead of her Daddy as she gets bigger...lol!!

New Hair...again!!

My hair has been going through some changes lately. It was so damaged from all the bleach and all the baby hormones that I had to go darker. I also decided to cut it shorter so that some of the damage could be gone. I have enjoyed this new style(s) but I am ready to go back to my blonde bob. Well will see how long that takes and how many more hairstyles will be between then and now!

This is what goes on when I have nursery...lol.

Braelyn is not a bit happy that I am in nursery with her...hahaha. The kids found these funny hats and scarfs. We were a bit bored since it was only us and one other little girl. Her mom was in there with us so it was okay to let her in on the action....ha!!!

You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose but you can't pick your friends nose...so Case is going to just pick his own!!!

My pretty girl...I love her!!!

Silly Colt...Adam is going to be so proud he is carrying a purse.

Rebecca below...the blue is so pretty with her eyes.

Why?

This is the picture that wound up going on our Christmas card this year. I think there was about 100 taken!!!

Braelyn's face is priceless!

Why is it that we don't know how to appreciate what we have until its gone? Why is it that we don't know how special something or someone is until we don't have that something or someone anymore? Why is it that we don't live each day to the fullest and cherish the moments more? Maybe you do but I feel like sometimes I don't. I have been reading a girls blog www.therowefam.blogspot.com, they lost their little girl three days after she was born. It is so heartbreaking to read her story. I can't even begin to imagine what they have gone through. I am truly BLESSED beyond measure...my cup runneth over!!! I am going to try in 2010 to realize that more EVERY day!!! God has blessed Adam and I with 4 beautiful, healthy children. I have never (and pray I never do) gone through the heartbreak this poor mother went through. I can't even fathom a life without one of my little ones. Thank you Jesus for giving them to me. Please help me to be a wonderful Mom to them for the next 100+ years:)

Playing Catch Up...I am so behind!!!

So with the holidays and everything that goes along with that I have gotten so far behind. I almost wanted to say forgetting blogging but I guess once I get caught back up it won't be so bad. So here goes....many weeks and many, many, many picture updates to come.



Mini photo session with Davis and Braelyn in their matching outfits.

Colt wanted to get in on the action so he jumped right in there...lol.

Braelyn is starting to fade fast. In this pic she is still enjoying the photo session but below she is trying to tell me in a nice way she has had enough and wants to take a nap. Just FYI Case is taking a nap during these pics that is why he is no where to be found.




Really Mom...how many pictures do you need of me in the same stinkin outfit!!!

Chick-Fil-La Fun!! We love that place!

If you know me at all then you know that I LOVE CFL!!!! It is my favorite fast food place of all time. I could eat there almost every day of the week and not get sick of it. They not only have the best food but the best service!! They remember us when we come in (well its hard not to when we come visit so much!!). They even come to your table and refill your drinks and take your tray. How's that for service!!! Oh and did I meantion that they have the BEST Sweet tea in the world. I buy it by the gallon. Its and addiction and no I am not giving it up!!!HA!! Okay now that I have given my sells speech on them and I am not even getting paid for it, on to my blog post. So we went with The Hogan Family to Family night. The kids get to eat free and they have clowns, face painting and ballons. We use to not be able to go because they had the cow there and our kids were afraid of the cow but thank heavens he quit so now we can go back and enjoy it again. We had a ton of fun and the kids all got something painted and a ballon. What more can you ask for?

Don't you just love this face with or without face paint?

Our little Snowman...it took about 2 seconds to get messed up.
Don't you just love her hair....

At the face painting table.

Paytens smiley face hand...don't you just love little babies hands

Davis with her butterfly..so pretty
