All three girls nap at the same time every day. This is a blessing!

The pantry is now clean and I have done a little tiny workout. Yes!

"Best toys for 3 month olds" ???

okay, so I get emails about the babies, like developmental stuff and games, etc.
Well, when I just saw the above title on an email, I almost cried. In my mind, she is a newborn. I am NOT ready for her to need/want toys and play things. Seriously. It's breaking my heart a little. TOYS??? NOOOOOOOOOOO! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Stay SMALL!!!!!

French Braid

I love her hair like this!!! Why

do I not do it more? She was all about it as she recently (in Oregon) saw Tangled with Daddy and I and Aunt Jana and Ellie. Her first movie and she loooved it!

Decor. I love Christmas!

Okay, this is a picture of my lenox nativity. It is one my most favorite things I own. The collection was started in 2002 and my parents and rob's parents and Rob added a piece or two each year.
Now I don't think I can't get more pieces as they won't fit! love it. Thank you!

What it's all about...

Ah, the Christmas village. Just put out about half of it this year, but love it nonetheless. I love Christmas!

Christmas 2010

Okay, this is our tree, today Christmas Eve. The stockings were hung by the girls this morning and now we await Santa! =) They are so excited, it makes me smile. Tonight will be sooo fun.

I have been busy as all the girls are napping. I have the fudge, cherry cheesecake, red velvet cupcakes and the muddy buddies chex mix done! Yay! Turkey is almost thawed and will be put in the smoker tomorrow morning. =) I love Christmas!

Snow Again

Addison had snuck outside in her jammies....funny girl. brrrr

The after she decided it was a little chilly!

The beginnings of two HUGE snowmen!!

Snow Fun!

Allie is so Adorable. I pulled her around the block three times. She loved just being by herself in this sled.

LOOOVE snow!

This is Carson, Ellie and Allie getting pulled around the block by my Mom. I wish Carson had been looking, he is such a doll.

Jackson, I can't believe how big he is getting. Cute.

Cousins!!

Baby Evelyn awake! it's a miracle!

My parents, Jackson, Noah and Addison....I think Allie climbed up there too after the photo was taken.

Fun with cousins

Kate, my mom and Addi

This is Allie chasing Carson down the hall. They are about 6 weeks apart, so it was fun for them to be the same size I think. Adorables. I meant to get a pic of just them together, but forgot. Next time for sure!

This is my girls pouncing on poor Noah after he was bumped (probably by Addison) and spilled his skittles. Ya, I am sure they were "helping". lol.

Roasting Marshmallows

This was at Grandma and Grandpa Smythe's, roasting marshmallows. They LOVED it. This is something all the grandkids look forward to so much.

I love this picture of Addison.

Sweet home

We are almost home after over a month away and wow, i am counting my blessings. I am so thankful that no harm or accident has come to us during this trip. I am thankful my family is healthy and rob is feeling so much better. Most of all I am thankful that I am a mom to these beautiful little girls. How blessed I am and how joyful I feel when I hear "Mom". Girls, i could not love you more. Thank you for an amazing month. You brought me joy and made me proud every day. Thank you.
