Happy Halloween!

This is Quin's one holiday off, so we are partying it up!!!

Treydon's Halloween party at school on Thursday.

Happy Birthday Quin!

This guys birthday went like this . .

up for morning report at work by 7 a.m.

parent teacher conference

walk into a caotic house around 5:30

homemade lasagna made the caotic house worth it! (Right!?!)

clean up house

asleep by 9:00 p.m. (those flu shots can really take a toll on you!)

Happy Birthday!

We made cookies tonight

We made cookies tonight . . . can you tell? This little one enjoyed ever last bit of it!

It just can't be stopped!

I hate to say it, but the baby lives in this thing. And I knew he would, too. There is too much going on around here for him to just take a normal nap in his bed. Sorry little one . . . but it is brand new and quite luxurious!

We love Grandparents!

Grandpa and Grandma Young came out to help after baby Teagan was born.

The kids enjoyed:

playing at the park

snacks at the gas station after school

a field trip with grandpa to Storyland park

working on projects around the house

and, of course, bedtime stories

Ashie and Grandpa shelling and eating peanuts (they did this every day!)

Occupying Matters

I think it is quite interesting how certain things can occupy my time at certain times in my life. Right now these certain matters are:

1. acid reflux

2. eardrum bursting

3. sinus infection

4. sleep deprivation

As a single young woman I thought having to get to work on time was hard enough. Now as a mother I wonder what more I could possibly handle - I am a mother after all!

I would not change anything about my life right now though, I am loving every minute of it!!!

(I got maybe three hours of sleep last night, my sinuses are killing me, the baby smells like rotten milk and is still cranky after his ear popping performance last night, and Ashelyn is sleeping right now because I gave her Tylenol to ease the pain of her ear. I am so glad Quin was able to take Trey to his field trip this morning!)

Update on our Baby

He sure has been a lot of fun. The kids can't stop giving him kisses and he gets ALL of their attention. There is no "Good Morning Mom" in this house anymore, the kids have updated their morning phrase to "Hi Teagie - did you have a good night?" I've also had to set some "no touching" limits during nursing and sleeping times!!!

It actually rains in Fresno!

They say it doesn't rain here and it hasn't - UNTIL TODAY!

IT POURED AND WE LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!!
