And the other pics:)

Christmas Pics

So we were working on the good ole Christmas card. I really think we should send out 2...1 with the pictures you finally made look good...and 1 with all the other shots!

Enjoy!

Corbin...Corbin...Where is Corbin

Corbin is about the funniest kid. Anabelle was pretty funny at this age, but I think Corbin may top her. He is very laid back and just laughs at life. Maybe we laugh at him so much he thinks that is what you do in life! He does have a temper on him....but he is so cute he gets away with it! Lately he is finding very creative places to hide! What a turkey!

I am not sure if he is protecting himself from his sisters....or if he is just cold!

Finally Chloe is 5!

Well, I cannot believe sweet Chloe is 5! Seriously, it seems like the other day she was our only little baby at home. Now she is the big sister of 3 siblings! And you thought you were busy the past few years! For 2.5 years she was my only baby. Spoiled and loved, all alone! Then in 15 short months she got 2 sisters and a brother! I have to say that being the oldest of 4, at just 3.5 years old, she has done an amazing job going with the flow. She is my sweet pleaser and just wants everyone to be happy. I love her so dealry and can already tell she has a heart for giving.

She got to have so many celebrations! She had a party at the park with all of her school friends, a party at a dress up place with a few close friends and family, a family dinner! And of course treats to school! Who could ask for more!

Decorating the Tree

We got the tree down and finally decorated! Chloe asked me every day, "When are we going to decorate?" The sad thing was, I couldn't find a night for us to decorate all together. But we finally did! We decorated my mom's tree as well. The kids really enjoyed hanging ornaments.

Happy Gobble Gobble!

Thanksgiving, or Gobble Gobble Day, in our house.....

Well, I haven't kept up well with this log lately! But, I will try. If anything, I need to do it so I can remember when the kids do important things! Such as Corbin is walking! He starting taking steps off and on a few weeks ago! Last Wednesday, the 14th, he walked for my aunt. Finally yesterday he was walking like it was something he has always done! Tonight he walked for cake! Who wouldn't! He looks a little like Frankenstein, but walking all the same!

Chloe was so excited to see her cousins tonight! She really had a great time!

Anabelle, she is so funny. She is so serious about what she has to tell you, but then is so silly about everything she does! Lately, she gets "busted" for doing a lot of reaching things too high and so on. She bends down and grins, trying to make you think she doesn't have any clue what she did wrong!

Laurel, sweet Laurel. She has a bit of a temper lately. She wants or doesn't want what she wants and wants it NOW! But on the flip side of that, she is my cuddle bug. She loves to sit with me and just cuddle. She will give me kisses forever...makes up for Anabelle and Corbin being too busy for kisses! Anyway, tonight she danced for everyone. Very nice for her to entertain us!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Gobble Gobble day and that you found something old and new that you were thankful for!

Some fun pics of Pre Halloween fun!

All boy

Corbin finally got his first official hair cut. He was starting to look a little bit like Chloe as a baby:)

Firsts

Well, I cannot believe the summer has come and gone. We started school and are back into the swing of things. Chloe was very excited to see her friends again. She was also very sad because one of her 'best' friends was not going to be at our school this year. I was also excited for her to start school because I missed some of the other moms that inspire me on our short walks back to our cars.

Laurel and Anabelle started school for the first time. They were so excited to have their backpacks and their lunch bags. They love school and seem to be pretty well behaved in the class. The first day of school they glued cut outs of different circles onto a paper. So when I get them up in the morning and say, "Are you ready to go to school?" They say, "I make circles!" So, if nothing else is learned this year in school, we will know what circles are:)

Mom 60th

Well, the second surprise 60th was my mom's. We arranged to have Emily, Camdyn and Allyson to fly in. Mom was very surprised. Then she was surprised to see EVERYONE at our girls dinner. It was a great week!

60s

Well, we had 2 surprise 60th Birthday Parties. On Friday we raced to Tulsa to surprise my mother in-law for her 60th. She was surprised, at least some:) We had dinner and then spent the next day doing fun things with everyone. The kids loved all of it.
