Happy Everything!

Considering I haven't blogged in a while I've decided to do a quick picture run down of the last few months. Hope you enjoy!

These are a few of my favorite things.....

-This wonderful season and teaching my kids about Christ and his birth.
-Seeing my children's eyes light up with the magic and excitement Christmas brings.
-Hot cocoa with a candy cane melting in it. Thanks to my sister Allison for that tradition!
-Making Christmas crafts and goodies with my kids.
-Being very PROUD of my husband for getting a job in Neuro Trauma ICU and graduating with honors!
-Brown paper packages tied up with string.
-Expecting number 4 and finally feeling great and baby kicking! 19 weeks and counting!
-Watching The Christmas Story with my kids! They get a kick out of it and I get a kick out of them getting a kick out of it!
-Snuggling, relaxing, and sipping homemade wassail with my husband - after the kids go to bed,of course.
-Sitting around the piano and singing Christmas songs with my kids and hubby.
-Family and friends to share my beautiful life with.

Fall in the Ozarks

My sweet Lilly is growing up!

first time riding the school bus
" Look! I'm just as tall as my big sister!"
Now you see it,
Now you don't!

Wow, Lilly just keeps growing up and doesn't know when to stop! I think her older sister taught her how to do that......I'm going to have to have a talk with Danielle. Kate's starting to pick up on the whole "growing up" thing too. What kind of a mother am I to allow my kids to do such a thing? I think I'm doomed.....

or just wonderfully blessed!

Labor Day Fun

Labor Day Weekend was SO MUCH FUN!!! We were invited to stay at a friends cabin in Branson. The cabin was beautiful, the view was breathtaking, the boating and tubing were pure enjoyment, and the weather was perfect!

The awesome cabin we stayed at
Crazy Monkeys....whose kids are those?

Aubrey (our niece) dressed up as a pirate. The kids found pirate dress up so of course they had to wear the costumes and party like it was nobody's business!

Thumbs up for boating cousin babes!
