Sledding!

The kids have been out sledding a bunch of times....I finally got some pics.


Don't you just love Alex hangin in the back seat




That makes a mom proud!



SICK!



The boys!



Yes, I will be in trouble for writing this. Maybe Devin won't read it.
So Alex started eating this big chunk of snow. I thought it was amusing so I started snapping pictures. Devin almost had a kaniption fit! "Don't encourage her! Alex put it down, it's pee snow." We both told him it wasn't yellow. Sorry Dev.

Merry Christmas!

Huh?

I don't even know what to say except I am getting tired of going to my blog and seeing the same sweet picture of Griff sleeping in the johnny-jumper. Everytime I see that old post it makes me feel like my life is passing me by due to my lack of documentation. I have sat down several times with intentions of throwing something new and exciting up....I am easily distracted though, it's a curse.
Not to mention...life moves super fast and I just can't keep up. Sometimes laundry wins over blogging and facebook, it's a shame, but true. I forgot my point....see...easily distracted.

Oh yeah, life moves fast and the holidays move even quicker. Shopping, hustle, bustle, this, and that. I did get up bright and early to save 50% on so many pairs of socks. Question: Is it really saving when you spend nearly $300 on socks? Honestly, I was totally caught up in the moment, another personal flaw. I am going to put half of them away and pull them out in July. See, I will be super smart when that special time comes around when everyone has holes in their socks.

Another reason there has just been no time too blog (besides my 4 little people) is that I have kicked off my official effort to get the jiggle off. You know what I am talking about. I have half-heartedly gone at this effort since Griff was born nearly six months ago. I catch myself thinking that I am good enough. Who cares if I have 5 to 10 extra pounds. I have always worked so hard. I am the mother of 4 now, who cares if I have some junk in the trunk? Well, as of a few days ago, I DO! I haven't busted my butt after three other kids to let it all go now. I am here to say that my goals will be reached.....and then I will probably need a little surgery as the icing on the cake. Not that I am a cake. I am a person who wants to look great for myself. Start saving sugar Daddy!

Alright, I am done. Enough. I don't even know what my original point was and all the pictures I am going to post have nothing to do with what I have written. They are just pictures taken of the sweetest part of my days.

Sleepy guys and backwards girls.....that's how we like em.

So it was the end of the day. All I want is some peace, quiet, and to waste my night on the computer. Of course that can't happen, Griffin wants my attention. And of course, being the fabulous Mom that I am, I will appease him. So I hold him, comfort him, feed him, change him, play with him, whatever it takes. He seemed content enough to take a turn in the johnny-jump-up. So I engulf myself in mindless activities on the internet and before I know it, I have peace and I have quiet. Griffin is not one to cry himself to sleep, he usually cries himself into panic and hysterics. I guess he just needed a new setting to figure it out. Thank you johnny-jumper, and I love you sweet Griffin!

Alex is really into fashion....two year fashion. For the past three days she refuses to wear clothes anyway except backwards. Fine with me, as long as you keep dressing yourself. So I finally took the time on this third day to take a picture of her latest ensemble. Maybe I will start wearing my clothes backwards.....wait, then I would have a front butt.

Happy Halloween!!!

We had a super fun Halloween with family and friends! Here are some fun pics from that spooky day. Good clean family fun!
Griff dressed as my little punkin and Jackson was the grim reaper

Alex repeatedly told everyone what an angel she is, and she is right.

Dylan played the part of a darling 50's girl.

Happy Halloween
