The end of the night...

My Grand Entrance

I think the pictures really tell it all... So driver's beware... There is a Median at Howard-McVay Park! I'm just glad Christine is the only person who actually witnessed the actual running over of the median..... Where as as Jamie, Jewly, and Cat just drove past with shocked and slightly amused faces.... Thanks goodness for the nice men who stopped and helped me! One of them told me I was the mother of world...WOW! What a compliment!

Also.. I need a new song... (any suggestions)

Our House in the Middle of the Street.....

I need help! What should I put on the top shelves? They are empty now..
Card table still serving as kitchen table till something comes along.
Half bath downstairs
Living room... View 1
Living room view 2
Backyard- yes there is a basketball goal out there... why I don't know.. Hey Eric aren't you supposed to come get this!?:)
Playroom... this is only half of it.. it's hard to take pics of a whole room.
other bedroom..
Our backroom downstairs we are going to use it as a craft/guitar room.
Dining room... we are thinking about during into something else though
Kitchen
The Girls share a bedroom. We painted it pink--- BARBIE pink
Yes, that's claire's mattress on the floor but don't worry she sleeps in it now!!! Don't ask me what happened ... I don't want to jinx it!
Our Bedroom.... yes,, our bed is on the floor and might be for awhile... gives me something to look forward to..
Our bathroom... yes you can come over and borrow the tub! Not pictured is the other side of the bathroom which is where my sink is.


Not pictured is the Landry room.. Boring! and the upstairs bathroom that is a total mess.. we had the wall paper removed and we have not yet painted that room.

Hope you enjoy! Come and visit us any time! And I KNOW you like this song!

Guess the baby

Okay- so I am currently working on taking pictures for a virtual tour of my house... however now that I have taken them all.. my camera is dead and since the move.. I don't know where the charger is! So... instead I have posted newborn pics of each of my kids... Do you know who is who?

My Kids-The Broccoli Lovers

Don't ask me why or how I did it but my kids love broccoli... It's totally bizzare.

Claire is Thankful for....

Last night, when it was bed time, Claire decided she did not want help saying her prayers...

This is how it went:

Thank you for apples, grapes, tomatoes (which she has never eaten), lettuce, brocolli-Amen.

I am suprised PB and J, chicken nuggets, ramen noodles, and pizza did not make the list.

Happy Birthday Claire

Opening Presents at Family Party

Wow!
Smile Oma! Annie waited very paintently before she proceeded to steal all of Claire's gifts.
Morning of Friend Princess Party... Nightgown was a MUST.
Pink Cupcakes and Icing!
Kids love this bar in our playroom... they think it is a jungle gym.
It takes two Grandma's to put some of decorations together... (apparently)
Huggin Cuzins

I decided after looking at several people who children's birthday's were after my child's that it was time to give Claire her shinning moment.

Claire turned 3 on August 7. I have found that it's hard to explain my children in just a few words. So, i guess what I'm saying is that I don't know if I could describe her the right way. She has definitely never given me alot of problems... although I do wish we could get the kid to stay asleep in her bed instead of on the floor by the door. But, she's just happy, bright, and content. I'm excited that she has begun to express interest in things such as ballet, that help her personality shine.


So here's to the party girl.... She had two parties. One with her church girl friends and another one a couple days later with all her aunts, uncles, grandparents (minus Pa Pa who hadn't quite made it back from ATL) She sure is lukcy! We love that lil Girl!
