Our New Pet

Oh, did I say pet? I meant invader...

This is what we have woken up to this week...



This means war! (With a Godly attitude of course!)

Hallie

Here is a video of Hallie...it is a little dark, but still cute! I will try to get one during the day for all of you that have not met Hallie yet!

Friday night

The men...

The baby...

The girls...

and the boys...

Why do boys find such great joy in making sure that EVERY toy gets played with?? :)


*Makenna and Steph (my sis in-law) were both sleeping.

A little taste of heaven...

This wonderful man came to visit me...


and made me this...

The picture truly does not do it justice, but these tacos are the best in the world! Thanks Dad!

Okay, so I could not resist throwing in this adorable picture of little Hallie!

Stories to tell...

My little Hallie is now 3 months old - wow, does time fly!


The above and below pictures are what happens when I sit down to nurse without occupying my little 2 year old! (The bottom one was while I was nursing in my room- my mistake!) I am beginning to wonder why I still have stools in my home!


We are so ready for winter to end! My children are in great need to be able to RUN around outside. On this particular day, Brenden really needed to run off some energy...so I had him run back and forth across the yard!


Hallie is such a happy little girl! Always willing to share a smile!


Katelyn dearly loves her baby sister! She is always willing to help!


Cloth diapering is going great! I just had to show off how adorable they look in them!
