Family Pictures!

We had family Pictures taken a few weeks ago on Nov. 1 and I just got my copy of them today! So As they are down loading I was looking and this one made me laugh! I LOVE IT! It is my favorite by far! I will post more after I can decided which ones I like the best. It was the entire family and between group pictures, family pictures, pictures of couples, pictures of just the kids etc... there are over 900!!!! So I have a lot of looking to do! Hope you enjoy this one as much as I did! Dani and her cousins!

Sad News

Pepper was our guinea pig, I posted some pictures of her a few days ago with Topher and we have had her for the past 2 1/2 years. This afternoon the kids got her out, I usually have the cage locked but today it wasn't, when they were done playing with her they "forgot" to put her up and went outside to play, leaving the back door open and letting the dogs in. Lady has always wanted to get Pepper and today she got her chance. By the time I figured out what was going on it was to late and Pepper was on the grass in the back yard, the baby was petting her. I bawled for longer then I want to admit. I know to some it may seem silly but she was a member of the family and I will miss her!

How they Grow!

Missing tooth fairy!

Alex lost tooth #2 yesterday! So this morning at 4 am he is in my room frantic! "she still hasn't come mom!" "I've been waiting all night!" Half asleep I stumbled down the hall after him. Told him "She" wouldn't come until after he was asleep just like Santa. I felt awful! If he hadn't woken me up I would have completely forgotten that he had put his tooth under his pillow! So 20 minutes of scrabble on my cell phone and $2.00. we were set!

First thing this morning he is so excited about his two buck! He is tell the little kids all bout how he woke up and the tooth fairy had changed his tooth into a dollar and the plastic bag it was in into another dollar! LOL Since today was half off day at Goodwill that is where he wanted to spend his money! So after a breakfast of Dunkin Donuts, a treat from Daddy for everyone, Alex & I were off!






After a good 20 minutes of cruising the toys, picking things up, keep the ones he wanted to think about he settled on these! LOL Pillow Punching Gloves! What made me laugh is we looked at something similar for Topher for Christmas! He may be getting them now so that we have two pairs!

Alex & Bella From next door!

To be fair!

Dani and I went in the back yard and played with the dogs for a little while last night. Rich and the boys had gone to the car wash to wash the carpets in daddy's car and Ellie was sleeping. So I took advantage and took a few pictures of the dogs. I didn't get any great ones of Lady, she is to quick but here are a few that I took. I took some pictures of Rich's car too! LOL He told me he was going to clean it really good! Little did I know.........


Yes those are his seats, the panels, and his carpets!

The naked car!


My three oldest in what used to be the back seat!

You have to admit that they are cute!

Dolly gave me this look when I playfully growled at her!



Dani gave Jersey some water, then climbed up into the play house with us and before I could stop her she took a drink! Which she promptly spat out and complained about the hair in her mouth! I told her it was her own fault for sharing a cup with the dog! Jersey didn't understand what the fuss was all about!

We have the funniest doges ever! They all love to be on

the trampoline with the kids!

I am wondering if Jersey worked for my

dad in a past life!!! LOL

This is the best shot of Lady that I got and for some reason it can't get it to post the right direction!

So annoying!

Reminiscing.......... Oh how cute they were!
This is Topher and Lady when we first got Lady,
before Dani was born. This was a few months later. He had hair you just can't tell! LOL He has always been my super blondie! You can't even tell that it is the same dog! She changed a lot!

Kiddo's Well two of mine..... anyway!

My sweet Ellie is always into everything!

She found some Cream Cheese Poppers & decided that they would be great to eat! LOL Who would have thought that she would actually like them! She ate the entire thing!

Ellie & Carter are such sweet babies! I hope that the like each other this much when they are teenagers! Hee hee! The first two are from Friday of last week.

Ellie was getting a diaper change and Carter just walked up and kissed her! It was so cute! We tried to get him to do it again but all we got was this cute hug!

Then he laid down by Ellie and she kissed his head. They are so sweet to each other! Only time will tell how long it will last! Now I am not saying that they are always this sweet! LOL Now and then Ellie will steal Carters Binky, she doesn't even like them, and they are always taking each others cups! They are so funny to watch!

This was this morning at Wal-Mart. Every Christmas ornament Carter saw it was a "BALL". I told Rich this is why the tree will be small and up high this year! Hopefully to avoid any major run ins with the babies!

This afternoon Topher and I took "Pepper" the pig out in the front yard while everyone else was napping and let her eat some grass. Topher was having a great time so I thought I would get some pictures. I haven't posted any of Pepper before so here she is! She kept hiding under his arm when ever she got startled.

Such a sad little face!

This was my Favorite shot! He wanted to take some with her on his tummy, and it came out great!

He picked his clothes out this morning and told his daddy "My girlfriend is going to like these cloths!" According to Topher he has a girlfriend at preschool! LOL It was so cute listening to him tell Rich all about it. Then on the way to preschool Rich and Topher had this conversation.

"Do you have a girlfriend Dad?"

"Yes."

"What's her name?"

"Her name is Mom!"

At which Topher laughed and said

"Nooooooo I mean at work!"

We had a good laugh at the child like innocence with which he asked the question.

Well I guess to be fair I am going to have to post some pictures of the dogs sometime soon! LOL The "puppies" Jersey & Dolly are huge these days and so much fun for the kids. Lady tolerates them, but she has to considering that they are easily 5+ times her size! So much for Lady ruling the roost!

Kids on the Farm!

Today the kids had a field trip to the Dewitt Farm and they had a ton of fun! They got to pet rabbits, chickens, goats, and a turkey! They also went on a hay ride, got to milk a goat and ride a pony! For my 4 & 3 year old this was high end stuff! Dani's favorite part was everything involving the horses, and I do mean everything! She went on and on about the horses. Chris really liked gobbling at the Turkey so he would gobble back. But they both really liked the goat milk they got to taste when it was over! Here are a few pictures from our big adventure!

Dani got to hold the bunny!

Chris holding a Chicken!

They babies weren't sure what to think about the fuzzy thing the lady kept telling them was a bunny! I am not sure they believed her! LOL
All of the horses were very friendly and walked right up to the gate so the kids could touch them.
Riding Elvis was a highlight!

Milking the goat!
The babies touching the horses! Carter.
Ellie's turn!
I'm not sure who was more interested the horses or the babies!
Goats milk Yum! The teacher said so!
