Naked Kiddos!

Cutie Pies!!!

Well, I'm not sure what was happening here, other than Olivia was jealous that Parker got to sleep in no shirt....so she wanted to take her clothes off too? That is about as good as I can come up with for this photo opportunity!!

Homemade Pizzas!

Kaleigh enjoying her masterpiece!

Yummm....must be really good!

I think Olivia likes hers too!

Eating the ingredients!!

Shell and the kids were over tonight and we made one of their favorite things, homemade pizzas!! They can decorate them all their own!

Happy Birthday Lily!

All dressed up and ready to go!

Patiently waiting for the pool!

Happy Birthday Lily!

Cupcakes, the best part of the whole party!

Cheese!!!

Double protection!

They had Lily's birthday party this year at a hotel, so the kids could go swimming! It was so much fun, other than myfat big belly getting in a suit. And, come to find out, none of the adults with the exception of myself and Derrick actually got in the water!! So, there I was, pregnant belly and all, in the water with all the kids. I was actually a little mad about it, but ended up having a ball with the kiddos. We even went under the bridge to the pool outside, which they all thought was pretty cool!

After the swimming portion, we went to a little room and had cake and ice cream and watched Lily open her gifts. Miss Olivia had a really great time, as did the rest of us! Something to consider for her next birthday!!

Go Team Go!

Oh my goodness, there is nothing cuter than a bunch of 7 and 8 year olds out on the gym floor cheerleading! They are stinking cute, and Kaleigh did a fantastic job! She, just like Shell and I, stood right next to the older high school girls and watched every move and shadowed them all night. She did several cheers along the sidelines, and then completed a dance number during the halftime. They did wonderful and it was so much fun to see!!! I hope Olivia gets into this too!!

Work, work work!

I was a member of the planning committee for our Business Planning Meeting, so was busy this entire week. We had a dinner or event Tues, Wed, and Thursday this week, so I was missing Olivia like crazy and will definitely have to make it up to her. With that said, I did capture a few shots of my team while we were together!

A hard day's work...

Just along for the ride!

Olivia and her Daddy!

Dinner with the Brady's!

Messy gift for Kathy!

We really had to get our hands dirty for this one!

The Bradys were coming over tonight and Olivia was super excited to give her a gift she had made. It was so sweet that she wanted to give her a going away present, if you will. She worked on it all by herself, and she was soo proud!

Hanging out!

Olivia was actually sharing her blanket with Sully...which doesn't seem like much, but that is a big deal to her!!

She thought this was pretty cool too...we were trying to get her prepared for her little brother coming!!!

I love my Mommy!

Derrick and Angie came over with the kids tonight, so we just hung out all night and let the kids play! We absolutely love that they are able to grow up together!

Taking advantage of the weather...

It was really nice out today and we know it isn't going to last, so we definitely took advantage of the weather!!

Baby Butt Crack!

Seems to me that she would be able to feel that...isn't there a draft!?

First Day of Pumpkin Place!!!

Such a big girl!!! So excited for her new school!

Daddy and Olivia

Looks like she is a little nervous here...just think she didn't want me to take her picture!!

First things first!!

I wasn't as nervous to take Olivia to the Pumpkin Place, cause she did sooo great at Noah's Ark. But, it was a new place to her, and she was a little leary at first. I could tell when we dropped her off, she had that look on her face like, are you really going to leave me here. But, surprisingly, she did great! She walked in and the first thing we have to do is wash our hands, so off she went. Then, they gave her breakfast, which was atually a really nice distraction. I was hoping all mornings would be like this. I did get a little teary-eyed...again...but I did okay. I was great to see her jump right in and not be so shy! She is going to do great, and I have heard nothing but wonderful things about this place, so let's hope that is the case for us too!

Happy Birthday Stella!

The kids were so excited about the balloons!

Sweet Sully...just hanging around!

Party!!!

Happy Birthday Stella!

We went to Monical's Pizza to celbrate Stella's birthday today! She was so sweet, and the kids had a great time!

Happy Halloween!

Such a sweet little Tinker Bell!

She loved this costume and truly felt like a princess!

Olivia and Parker...it doesn't get any cuter than this!

Olivia and Kaleigh...going for the scary look this year!

Started to get a little colder, but nothing is gonna stop them!!

On a mission....

They had to ctach a ride towards the end of the night...that's a lot of walking!!

The Erxlebens

We went to Aunt Jenny's this evening before trick or treating so that Jenny and Dina could see Olivia in her costume! She wanted to be Tinker Bell this year, which Aunt Jenny had picked out for her at her birthda party! So, that was even more exciting for her!! She loved her costume and looked so stinkin' cute!!! After Aunt Jenny's, we went to Dave and Joyce's to meet up with that clan and walked around Lake Camelot. The kids always have a good time, and although it is exhausting, they get lots and lots of candy! Another successful Halloween!!!
