      She looked so peaceful sleeping in my bed this morning that I had to snap a quick photo. (I was going to get one of her sister as well, but she is an early riser and gets me up if the boy hasn’t already done so 🙂 ) It’s too bad that she wasn’t…

      I was a lucky mama to witness a fashion show in my very own home today, on my bed, nonetheless.  The girls dressed up, put on make-up and perfume and had their nails painted. Abby did her own for the first time and I could tell she felt like such a big girl. Mckenzie…

    I stepped out of the room to check on Mckenzie while I was feeding Cooper breakfast, and this is what I came back to. My little mama’s helper was busy feeding her brother. She was doing a great job at it so I let her finish 🙂   I love how hard she is concentrating…

    The girls had early dismissal from school again today because of parent/teacher conferences so we had extra time to play. Abby decided she wanted to make a grocery store, so she made a sign, stocked her store and ran it with a strictness that probably wouldn’t be good for business in the real world (think,…

    Dakota was a bit sad she didn’t get to go hunting with Scott today. She was pacing around and following him everywhere he went until he left.  I know Scott wishes he could have taken her, but unfortunately, she isn’t much of a hunting dog. The only time she has ever gone out, she was…

    This dog is so spoiled. Every day when I get back from the bus stop, Dakota races upstairs to lay on our bed. I know I shouldn’t let her up there, especially since I’m allergic to dogs, but her eyes melt my heart every time and I just can’t make her get down.   Last…

    Today was one of those days for everyone around here. Little man was cranky; I think he is teething. Abby was up waaaaay before the sun came up and refused to go back to sleep. She finally did lay down with me for a little bit, but by ten minutes to six, she was begging…

    The girls both had a friend sleep over last night and they had a blast! They didn’t even stay up too late! Scott talked the girls into going to snap a few photos with the fall colors tonight (and let me tell ya, that wasn’t easy). I haven’t edited them yet though (oops!)  but I…

    Scott and Mckenzie went out to do a few errands and Cooper went down for a nap giving Abby and me a little one on one time. It is rare these days to get that and so I am beyond excited when it happens. I like to think Abby is too 🙂 She wrote a…

    Little man has had quite the week. Ear infection=antibiotics=penicillin allergy=cranky boy. But now that he is off the antibiotic, he is feeling better and getting into all sorts of stuff again. He loves to pull himself up and has just recently started cruising along furniture. How did he get to be so big so quick?!…
