Pinata Line

On Saturday we attended 2 birthday parties, and this a photo from Bailey's 5th birthday Party and this is Bailey, and she is quite the little miracle, at the tender age of 5 she has already had 12 surgeries, and is scheduled to have at least 2 more. But don't you go feeling sorry for Miss Bailey, she is the quite the little firecracker!

This photo is of the kids as they lined up to hit the pinata. It did not come out quite the way that I planned, but not a lot of time to plan out a shot with 20 kids.

Smile Chauncie!

This is the face that I got everytime I said "Smile Chauncie" to my Goddaughter Chauncie yesterday at her 2nd birthday party. She is one funny kid!

Something's Not Right

Carson is my independent child. He wants to do everything himself, including dress himself. And this started long ago, before even turned 2. The funniest thing is that he rarely gets an entire outfit on the correct way. There days when he will put on jeans backwards and have Caleb snap them for him. And the worst part is that he refuses to allow you to change him or fix his clothes for him. So he usually goes the entire day with wonky clothes.

I am very tempted to get him a button that says, "I dressed myself" to explain it.

Anyhoo here's a pic from yesterday of his feet, shoes on the wrong foot. He wore them like that for 1/2 the day and then decided that his feet hurt and therefore he allowed me to switch them around.

Self Portrait

It's no secret to most that my favorite color is orange. I absolutely love all things orange, and I even have an orange car! So in honor of my favorite color I am posting a self portrait of me wearing on of my many orange shirts! This was only my third time taking a self portrait and my focus is a little off, but here I am anyway. CC always welcomed

Thumbkin

So I bet you are wondering how does this relate to the theme...well Christian was a thumb sucker, and while that is not an ideal situation for a parent, it is a life saver at the same time! I swear that sometimes the kid does not need me, because he has that darn thumb, which certainly made life easier as I transitioned to life with three.

I must admit that is an old picture taken a few months ago he has since weaned himself from sucking his thumb, and it probably makes me a bad mother to admit that really miss it, but I do.

My Lifeline

I had no idea how much I relied on my cell phone until I lost it a few weeks ago. My cell phone is my calendar and my phone book, I was lost without. So in theme for the week, here's my new phone.

Enjoy the Vue

My car in an orange Saturn Vue, and aside for the fact that it is a tad tight for our family of 5, I love it. It has everything that I wanted in a car, including a tv and dvd player for the kids, or the hubby on game days. Which certainly makes life a little easier for me!ISO 250

Baking Brownies

One of my favorite memories as a kid was my grandma baking something, and then letting me lick the bowl. Yesterday Carson and I baked brownies, and I let him licked the bowl.

I think he enjoyed it.

HHCC please on these. I played around with different color pop techniques, and I am not sure if they work.
