My little cheerleader boy

I was busy doing dishes this afternoon and I hear my oldest daughter say "Hey! Look Mommy!" I turn around to find my precious little boy dressed up in her Barbie cheerleader outfit. He was fine with it until I grabbed my camera and then he got all embarrassed. It was too cute not to share. This was him whining "MOMMMM" when I got the camera out.

Fart Bubbles

I totally forgot to tell everyone about this. I posted the pic on BBC but not on here. Ellianna was swimming in her little pool while the big kids were playing on the slip-n-slide. She farts a couple times, and by the second fart she's trying to figure out where the bubbles are coming from. She lifted up her leg and was looking down trying to figure it out. It was hilarious! The other kids had to run over and find out what was going on because I was laughing so hard. I'm sure this'll be an embarrasing picture for her when she gets older.

Big boy and his baby bear!

Here is a pic I just had to share of Ethan with his bear that he calls his "baby". He got his "baby" around the time my belly started getting big with my last pregnancy and he has slept with it every night since. It is a little brown teddy bear dressed up in a pumpkin outfit. I just recently started trying out black and white pics. I love pictures of sleeping kids!!!

Catch up again

Thanks to my faithful reader Pauline for reminding me to update this crazy thing!

Oh gosh... let's see what we have been up to. Warning: These are not in order. I'm just going through my photobucket!

1. We were flooded out of our house for about a week. Our house didn't get any water in it, but our road was completely covered. We've lived here long enough to know when the water is getting too high and we left early enough not to get stuck here. I'm so thankful that my grandma has enough room for the 6 of us to stay! Here is a pic of the sky before it started storming again!!! We were already flooded out and then the next day it rained again.

2. My neice had her 9th birthday party. It was a luau theme and the kids loved it. Here is a pic of Aiden doing the limbo. He was making the funniest faces.



3. We drove down to the river a couple miles from where I live to check out the water levels before we got totally flooded and there was a cool face carved into a tree stump. Ethan just had to have his picture taken with it. He asked me if he could touch his nose. It was so funny.



4. We went to a local event called "Safe Night". It is basically an event they have for kids to teach them about being drug-free and things like that. They had a lot of fun games and things for the kids to do. They even had an area that had live baby bunnies, chicks, and ducks for the kids to hold. My boys really didn't want to hold any, but Addy loved holding them. Especially the baby ducky! She was begging to take one home, but thankfully the lady said that they are only for playing with there. She must have kids of her own. She saved me from having to tell her no and breaking her heart.




5. Ellianna has been doing great with her potty training. After her bath today, I actually let her run around the house in just panties. She just turned one year old this month so she didn't actually have any of her own to wear, but big sister's worked just fine. It's crazy that the same pair of panties will fit a 6 yr old and a 1 yr old. She was so proud of her big girl panties and kept going over to the mirror to check it out.



6. My son's team won their final t-ball game of the season last night. They are undefeated!! WOO HOO! They start the tournament next week. I hope they win the tournament too. He scored 2 runs last night and was so proud of himself. The final score was 20-10.

I'm sure there is more that has been happening, but I haven't uploaded the pics yet. I guess I'll just have to update again soon. Well, for all of you that have stuck it out and read this whole post, please leave me a comment so I know I'm not just talking to myself.

Ellie's party

I know I'm late in posting this because Ellie's birthday was a few days ago, but we've been having horrible weather and I've been really busy. Anyways...

Ellie's party went great. She was a little shy at first because she's not used to so many people being at our house all at once. There were 18 total including our 6. Me, DH and our four kids, Both my parents, my grandma, my aunt, my cousin and her two kids(9yo + 7yo), my BIL and his 2 kids(6yo +5yo), my other 2 cousins who are 8 and 4. We all basically just hung out for a while and snacked on finger foods while watching the slideshow I made of her first year. Then she opened presents. My Dad was totally clueless as to what to get her so I helped him pick. He got her a soft Dora chair which she absolutely loved and sat in to open the rest of her presents. Her favorite presents from me and DH was her own baby laptop computer and a Sesame Street remote control. She always wants to play with mine, so we got her one for herself. Atleast now she can slobber on her remote instead of mine.


After presents we moved on to cake and ice cream. I bought her cake at Walmart and they gave us a free small cake for her to destroy. She played in her cake for about 20 minutes or so and ended up with icing in her eye so I had to give her a bath. While I was washing her hair to get the blue icing out, I noticed her rubbing her belly. I watched her a little more closely and figured out that she was wiping the icing off her belly and eating it. Poor girl didn't wanna waste any I guess.


After her bath, she played with her new toys for a little while and walked around visiting everyone. She started getting cranky so I put her down for a nap. She passed out hard and fast!!!


My two nephews ended up spending the night as well, which was more for my older kids to enjoy.

It was an exhausting day, but I'm glad she had a great time. Definitely made some awesome memories and took some great pictures. I will never forgot my baby girl's special day!

I'm waiting for Photobucket to upload the rest of my pics so I'll have to edit to add later.
