Project 365 - Day 154 to 157

Woohoo, I'm getting a fairly recent update up here!!

First and foremost! Nate's cousin entered their triplets into a Halloween Costume Contest. They've made it to the top 40! Could you all please help them out by going to this site and voting for #6! The voting poll is on the right hand side. Lets see if we can get those girls to First Place!!!!

Now on to the pics! The other day, the big girls and I were goofing around. They wanted me to style them all up like in a beauty shop. So I did their hair and makeup! They loved it. Abby even asked if she could wear makeup next time we go somewhere (to that I said "No"). Anyway, here's Ab and Em all dolled up!



Catey was sitting on my lap earlier that day, her hair all a mess in her face. I happened to grab my hair clip and put her hair up. She looked too cute! I think she liked being able to see!

This last one is something I'm pretty proud of. Some of you may not know already, but this upcoming Spring I'll be attending SIUE for my Elementary Education degree. I'll be taking it a bit slow at first to get back into the swing of things, but I plan to be graduated by Spring 2014! Lets hope everything goes as planned. Anyway, since I'm officially a student again, here's my ID! I'm a Cougar! lol
Oh and P.S., If anyone is free for a few hours of babysitting on Monday evenings, wouldn't be more than 2 hours, please let me know!!!

Project 365 - Day 146 to 153

I know I'm about 5 days late, but here are our Halloween pics. I've been busy between now and then and hadn't had a chance to put them up. Today I finally get a chance to relax a bit and show them off!

Here's my little Abby fairy!


Emma fairy and Spiderman!

The happiest little witch I've seen!

Part of our Trick or Treating group! Sandra Dee, Wolverine, Emma fairy, and Abby fairy.

Project 365 - Day 141 to 143

As I promised on Friday, I'd bombard you with pics to make up for my "slackitude"! So here they are, a quick overview of our weekend at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

Grandma and Jakey the night we got there. What a good pic!

Uncle Seth and all his kids! They just love Uncle Seth!

Grandma and Catey! She's such a ham!!

This is what you see when you go to Arthur, IL. Lots of horse and buggies!

We went to "The Great Pumpkin Patch" in Arthur. It was a blast! Definitely want to do it again!

Emma in front of the pumpkin tree!

Abby in front of the pumpkin tree!

The four kids actually took a good pic! GASP!!!

Project 365 - Day 130 to 140

I didn't realize it'd been this long since I put up pics! Sorry for the major slackitude! Unfortunately, to catch up, I'd need to provide you with 11... I only have 6. So not only was I slacking, but I'm short changing you too (lets just call it a mix of busy and not getting the camera out much ). But no fear, I will pay you back!!! This weekend we are going for a visit to Grandma and Grandpa's house. So I'll overwhelm you with pics when we get back. So for now, here's the little bit I have!

Here's Emmy, letting the ornery sneak out!

Abby the goofball!!

Catey at our Halloween Party we had!

Jakey trying on his big boy "panties" He refuses to call them undies or underwear to daddy's dismay. He's actually gone on the potty a few times, so maybe he'll be out of diapers soon!! *Wishful thinking*

Catey bug! RAWR!!

Shhh, don't show daddy this picture of his son! He may have some questions for him! lmao!!

Project 365 - Day 125 to 129

We had a long weekend full of fun! Here are a few highlights from it!

Look at these sweet sisters! My beautiful girls!
Can you believe my little baby girl is big enough to pull herself up to standing on the gate... and everything. She's so big!
We went to "Touch a Truck" yesterday, where kids get to check out different kinds of vehicles. Here, Jake is checking out a military Humvee! What a cool dude!
Nate doesn't look so sure about the driver of this Jeep!!
Emma got to listen to her heart in the ambulance!

Project 365 - Day 116 to 124

Wow! I didn't realize I fell this far behind in posts! Please forgive! Unfortunately this is one of the things that slip my mind. It's a combo of getting sucked into Facebook games in the little free time I have and working on yet another project... that I will post pics of as soon as the recipient gets it! So anyway, looks like I have 9 pictures to share with you, so lets get to work! By the way, these are in no particular order!

Eat!? (Ok this look on his face just cracked me up!!!)

He managed to climb up and into that baby toy by himself. What a boy!
Me on my two hundred and forty first birthday! I think I age well. I'm a vampire as well! WAHAHAHA
I'm going to start overloading you with Catey pics because she's so darn cute and doing so much now. Last night she was eating Cheerios and got one stuck to her nose. It was the cutest and funniest thing. Of course she hammed it up for me!
I gave Catey a little trim the other night. Her bangs were in her face so bad she couldn't hardly see. Her and daddy showing off the new do! Her hair is still so dang crazy!
She figured out how to pull herself up to things! We're in trouble now!
The other day, Abby was pretending Emma and Jake were her dogs. She decided they needed to play Frisbee!

Jake caught it!Catey discovered one of the baby toys the kids had hiding out in their room. She decided it's her new fav!
