catch up...

Claire LOVES to play babies. She likes to line them all up, and play with each of them. We spend a lot of time cleaning up babies after she has gone to bed. This is what we did with them today. It makes me laugh to look at these pictures.
This is sooo funny to me. Caroline wasn't really a fan, but Claire and I got a kick out of it.
She couldn't be much cuter.. She is handful though. A big, huge, giant handful.
Corby and Claire love to jump from the coffee table to the couch. Yes i know I shouldn't let them, but obviously they do it.
Sweet Caroline has had a cough for a few weeks now, and she just can't shake it. She has gone to the doctor three times for it, and is now on breathing treatments. they are helping more than anything else has, but she is still not 100%. I think we are moving in the right direction though. Corbin woke up with spots all over him. They are dime and nickle size circles all over his legs.... hmmm...
I have some pretty adorable, wonderful. silly, lovable babies.
My blue eyed kiddos.

Mom and dad had birthdays this month. We had a good time celebrating with the family!
Corbin got a little football game going in Grammy and Pa's backyard with Uncle Jimmy, Joseph and Chris... All the kids loved it.

pics from the last few weeks....

I went through the pics on our camera from the last few weeks and here are some of them. Claire and Corbin are happy and busy little kids... They love anything to do with art... Painting, cutting, glue, drawing, markers... they spend a lot of time doing these things. They are both doing well in school, and by the end of the week they are tired and ready for a few days at home!
Minute to Win it???? Chris, Corbs and Claire all three tried this game... no one was able to do it.
Hanging at the beach... I love that Caroline just waits under the table. She does this here at home too. She can't wait until she is big like the other two.. I can wait.. .
Our kids have some crazy sleeping patterns. Here is how I found them one morning. They sleep together every night these days. They both have huge beds, and precious rooms... neither of which is being used.
We like to play dress up around here. The kids are excited about Halloween. They both went through a catalog that came in the mail.. their costumes are on order, and they are sooo excited.
Junie and Claire hanging in the rocking chair with their bottles.
Caroline hanging at the door wondering why the dogs are on the outside.
So happy.
Claire feeding the horse from a little bit to far away. Poor horse.
Caroline and her boyfriend Maddux.
I think it is pretty cute when kids fall asleep in their highchairs.
Caroline is getting better. She still threw up at least once every day this week. We washed a lot of clothes, sheets and couch cushions this week. She doesn't have a stomach virus anymore, she just is a super sensitive kid & even coughing more than once makes her puke! Corbin starts soccer again tomorrow and is really excited!

Labor Day Weekend

Lucky for my kids they have an aunt that always has a camera in hand and took these adorable pics this weekend. Thanks AUNT NAT! Caroline reall.y LOVED the beach! She was all over the place. She really had the best time at the beach and pool
My sweet boy just loves anything outside. He could spend the whole day at the beach.
Uncle Jimmy caught some fish, and the kids had the best time playing with them. Claire is giving June a little love squeeze.
The weather this weekend was perfect. The kids really enjoyed the nice weather and no mosquitoes.

My girl...

I love this picture. Corbin thinks fish are the greatest. He was so proud of Jimmy's fish. He wanted a picture holding it. I think what I love best are his painted fingers holding his manly fish...
adorable


Sweet Shelby and Caroline. It is soooo easy to tell Caroline is the third kid in this picture based on her attire. She has mis- matched bathing suits on from when Claire was little.... She still looks pretty darn cute yo me though....

The weekend was fun, but ended on a sour note. Caroline started throwing up early Sunday morning,and so we came home. She is still sick, and just not her happy little self. I just hope no one else catches it, and that she gets better soon...

2nd post of the night...

Here are some pictures I have taken over the last week or so. Now that I am back at work, I haven't been taking as many pictures. It is really hard to believe that summer is already over and we are back in the swing of things at school. The kids and I had a really awesome summer together. We really made the most of the time we had to play. Claire is doing better at school as of last Thursday. Corbs still loves school, and is WORN out when he gets home. I pick them up at 3:30 or so, and they are both worn out. This is a picture with Claire and her ridiculous amount of babies. She doesn't just play with one at a time. She always has them all out.
Baby girl..
Having fun at the jumpy place
Chris went in Caroline's room to get her after her nap. He found her standing up in her crib. She has learned how to pull up on things. He went and got the camera and took this sweet picture. That night he lowered her crib. Seems like yesterday she was born, and we are already having to lower her crib.
I love it when they play so well together...
my sweet bub
my sweet princess
This picture makes me smile more than you will ever know. I just love this face, and I just love that bow. To me the bigger the bow the better. I just love that little girl.
She loves the door stop.

Wedding Weekend Fun!

My little brother Joseph got married last night! Honestly, it was one of the most fun weddings I have been to. Corbin and Claire were in the wedding, and surprisingly did a great job! The kids were running like wild ones during the rehearsal, so I didn't think there was a chance they would compose themselves and do well at the wedding. They proved me WAY wrong! The wedding was just beautiful! We are very happy for Uncle Joseph and Aunt Brittany!
Here are Junie and Claire in the cry room. As soon as the kids walked down the aisle we moved them all straight into the cry room for the ceremony.. this is why... I had tons of snacks to entertain them.. Lets just say the cry room was a happening place. You can tell a little in this picture that Claire has a little black eye. The day of the wedding she hit her eye on the headboard of our bed... At least she didn't knock out her teeth...
Corbin and Claire LOVE to dance at weddings... Corby took off his jacket and was ready to go. At some point the shoes came off too.
dancing kiddos... i love watching kids dance at weddings
Claire and PawPaw.. PawPaw held Claire a lot of the night right in front of the band. She was memorized...
Dancing the night away....We were at the wedding until after midnight, and everyone kept telling me they were surprised that the kids were still awake and in action....

My kids and all their cousins after the wedding...They all looked so precious

Mom and Joseph


This picture makes me laugh. This was right before the wedding. I promised the kids toys at Toys R Us if they walked down the aisle without crying... In this picture Corbin is telling me he gets three toys for being good. We went today and let's just say the kiddos got the toys they were promised.

My babies at the rehearsal dinner. Let's just say they made a mess. a HUGE mess..
Not even sure why Corby was feeding her a bottle...
My mom had the rehearsal dinner decorated so well. She did a fish theme, and it was really perfect.

This was at the church during the rehearsal. I had my kids and my nieces all lined up on the ground like little chickens feeding them starburst trying to make them behave.
My sweet Caroline. At the wedding they played SWEET CAROLINE.. and she danced....
