Best Babysitter

Paige always wants to hold Avrie. She can get her to settle down when she cries (sometimes). She is a great little babysitter!

(They look nothing alike!)

Beautiful Baby

Look at my cute little baby. She is getting more and more beautiful and starting to smile more. My family is complete! I am very Blessed!

Too tired to care!

The past few nights I have been sleeping on the couch. If Avrie doesn't go back to sleep after I feed her, I end up there anyway and I hate to keep Glade up.

So this particular night Brockston came out and wanted to lay by me. Obviously there was no room for him but I was so tired I just didn't care. Glade thought it was funny so he took a picture. How did he not fall on the floor?!

Happy Birthday, McKinley!

8 Years Old! I can't believe it! I bought her a white dress to wear before and after her baptism and I let her wear it to church yesterday. She looked so cute and so grown up! She wanted to hold Avrie and, of course, she spit up on her dress about 2 seconds after she got her. Good things spit up is white!

She had her interview with the bishop and it was fun to hear her answer the questions. She is gaining her own testimony and surprises me sometimes with how much she knows and comprehends.

We have been so blessed with such good kids! I have received compliments on how well behaved the kids are multiple times. Well, they came to us that way! It's a good thing too cuz I'm pretty sure Prozac can only do so much!

Toothless

McKinley lost another tooth! This makes number 7 or 8 (I can't remember). In this picture you can't really tell which tooth it is but it's the one on the left of her 2 front teeth. (looking AT her it's on the left) She's getting so old!

Sooo Cute!

She keeps getting cuter! She wasn't ugly or anything, but most brand new babies aren't that pretty to me. So, I just keep taking pictures of her. And for some reason, the pictures still don't do her justice.
I am taking just as many pictures of her as I did my first 3. I don't want her to think that we don't like her as much because there aren't very many pictures of her as the other kids. So...here is a start.

Mommy, I have some flowers for you

Yesterday Brockston came inside and said "Mommy, I have some flowers for you!" I just thought it was so cute, I had to take some pictures. This is just one of them, the others were pretty funny. He likes to pose weird now.

My celebrity look alikes

Christmas

I just love this picture so I thought I would put it up. Not only are they all sitting still and looking at the camera, but they all have the same simple smile on their faces. Too cute!

Deep Thoughts on Breasts

First of all, this was the best cake EVER! Thanks again, Jena.

Right now I resemble the cake, except the flat tummy part. I am top heavy. I have had people say how skinny I look, but in truth it is an optical illusion. My breasts are bigger so my tummy LOOKS smaller.

I am fighting a breast infection as we speak. If you have never had a breast infection let me just describe it for you. OUCH! And the fever and body aches accompany the blessed thing. So not only do you get to cry every time you nurse, you get to feel like you are on deaths door between feedings. Ah the joys of motherhood!

As I have been enjoying this I have learned a few things.

1.)If you sit in a rocker/recliner for too long, your hips start to hurt.

2.)When you have a fever and your body aches, you can't sleep no matter how tired you are.

3.)Don't watch Comedy Central after 2 am. They are allowed to drop the "F" bomb.

So these are my deepest thoughts. Ya, I know, not much to it. But that's as deep as I go on 3 hours of sleep!
