Carving our pumpkin

Where did she come from?

Where did she come from? This is my little girl, and I say little in the figurative way, because she is just big. I have little babies, I'm a fairly small woman, so my kids are small.

Kaleigh had her 5 year check up she's in the 25% for her height and weight, Jordan 10th percentile, Jaden barely 5%, Madison 70th percentile for height and 50% for weight, I can barely carry her she's so heavy, and yet she's just my sweet little girl. I know my kids will all be bigger than me, I mean come on it's not hard, but I'm hoping she's not bigger than me at age 10! But she will always be my little baby.

Getting ready for Halloween.

My Sweet little Boy

He looks so much bigger than he actually is, it's incredible.

She just loves him.

Catching Up

We have been busy the last couple of weeks, Michael had pnuemonia, the girls have sinus infections, so we're just getting a chance to catch up.

All of us at Cox Farm. The kids love this place and we went with my parent when they were here for the weekend of Kaleigh's birthday.

She's not a big hay person.

Kaleigh's Cowgirl Party

We had a birthday party for Kaleigh and being in October the weather is always a little iffy, but so far we have been really lucky over the last 5 years it has only rained once and hopefully we will continue to have great weather for birthdays. We had some horse races, shoot out gallery (with a nerf gun and plastic cups) and of course a Pinata.

Cowgirl Kaleigh

I love this picture of Jordan, just sitting in the tree in our back yard.

Getting ready for the races.

And we're off.

Our Horse Pinata!

And of course our moonbounce!

Gang's all here!

And of course Michael did the cake again, a cowgirl thrown by her horse!

Happy Birthday Kaleigh

October 10th, 2003 the date of my second beautiful child was born. It's hard to believe that 5 years ago, I quit my job to stay home full time with my two beautiful daughters, who knew what a ride the past 5 years would be. Kaleigh is an amazing little girl (I say little but she acts like a teenager). She's smart, spunky, sassy, funny, loving (she's a momma's girl), and even as she's testing every limit she can possibly test she will still turn around and hug my leg as if she just knows she still needs me. I know with her smarts and strong will she will be an incredible woman. Please God that I would help channel her will and guide her in God's direction.

Madison is figuring out how to jump and the victory dance that goes with it.

A Date with Jordan

Finally I got to have my date with Jordan, she revels in one on one time with us, I was surprised she picked me to go out with first, she usually picks Michael (she's a Daddy's girl by far) but she wanted to go out with just me and we decided to go minature golf. She loved it and we had a blast. I love this little girl. I get so caught up in the dailyness of life and the work that I forget how much fun she is and how sweet she really is. No matter how much work I have to do with her, I can always think about the special little girl that God has blessed me with she's such a gift, even when I can't remember it every day.

Postings

So it's been a while since I have had a chance to post, it's been a little crazy around here but we are managing (managable chaos) we are getting ready for Kaleigh's birthday it's the 10th and we are trying to get into the swing of things. Hopefully I can post somethings soon.

Three Months Old

So Jaden turned 3 months on October 1st and although it's been a rough couple of months, we are working through it. I often tell people we are managing the chaos. At any given time if you call my house someone is crying and sometimes it could be me. Jaden is probably about 10lbs now, he's got a double chin it's very cute, he smiles a lot (especially for the girls it's very sweet), he loves it when anyone talks to him and he started giggling a couple of weeks ago (his favorite person to giggle for is Daddy) it took us a few weeks to try to get it on video but it is too cute. He's not sleeping through the night, he still eating every three hours and it's getting old fast but we are managing and we know that we will eventually get some sleep.
