For the past two days Brooks and I have had the pleasure of eating yummy lunchroom lunch with Griffin, Peyton and Reece! ;) I really love our school, it’s very small and feels like family. Well it’s small compared to the school we were at before we moved!
On Tuesday we ate with Reece! I wish you could see her cute turkey also!
I LOVE my turkeys SO SO much and I am so thankful for them!
Yea, just now getting to this. Oops.
Halloween was a rainy one this year! We still had fun! We have started going to my sister’s neighborhood to trick or treat each year since we don’t live in a neighborhood anymore. It’s a win-win because all the cousins get to trick or treat together! We also continued our tradition of stopping by Big Mama’s house! She looks forward to that every year!
As soon as Reece found out that my little nephew, Noah, was going to be Jake from Jake and the Neverland Pirates, she wanted to be Izzy! Then I just decided it would be too cute if Brooks was Scully! Peyton was a knight and Griffin just wore a skin suit. Those things weird me out!
A few weeks ago we met with Julie Stone and took family pictures. In all honesty, this day really stressed my stress. It was a beautiful Sunday…but by the time I got SIX people dressed and ready for pictures it had started to rain. Hindsight, we should have rescheduled I guess…because it sprinkled on us most of the time and by the time we were to the end of our shoot it was pouring! The older boys were not cooperating AT ALL so that just added to the stress! But, Julie still did a fabulous job and hopefully we didn’t drive her too cray cray! haha!
Here’s a few of my favorite’s!
PS-he tee-teed on the concrete when we took this! haha! And, no, he’s not standing on his own yet.
I love family photo shoots! Here’s to the next one being WAY less stress on Mommy! ;)
This past weekend we decided to take the kids up to Birmingham to stay at the Wynfrey Hotel and SHOP! I grew up doing this about once a year with my mom and sister and it’s SO MUCH FUN. For those of you who don’t live around here, the Wynfrey is adjacent to a huge galleria, so you can shop literally til you drop! haha!
The new Von Maur store opened while we were there & I’m in LOVE! They have the cutest kids clothes, including a HUGE selection of Mud Pie!
Love my boys! Even though one was too busy to take a pic for me!
We had a fun time but I can see how this trip will turn into a girls only trip in the future! Boys just can’t HANG! ;)
It happened. Two of my babies had field trips on the same day. Boo. Peyton to the Indian Mounds and Reece to the Pumpkin Patch! In the county that we live in, it is the County Board Policy that siblings are not allowed on field trips. Since Brooks stays with me, this means I couldn’t go. Double boo. I can’t leave him for more than a few hours since he’s nursing so leaving him with someone else was not an option. I probably could have talked to the principal and she would have let him go but really the logistics of taking him would just not have worked out. I mean, I’m not going to nurse in front of a bunch of kids! I understand the rule completely and I wish that ALL schools in the system would follow the rule! It stinks that I missed out BUT nursing my babies has always been top priority for me so it’s just something to deal with right now!
Thankfully, it was Gigi’s birthday and what better way to spend it than with a bunch of kindergartners? HAHAHAHA! She’s a trooper and Reece had fun!
Our sweet little love celebrated his 1/2 birthday yesterday! I can’t believe he is 6 months old! His little personality is really starting to show, and he’s a cool little dude!
Here’s what you’ve been up to B!
You weigh 18 pounds 7 ounces and are 27 inches long! 75th percentile on both!
You are SUPER close to sitting up all by yourself. Actually, when we took pictures last night, as long as nothing distracted you, you were sitting up perfectly! You are mobile. You roll EVERYWHERE! Just roll, roll, rollllll!
You are reaching for people! And you also started trying to reach for Daisy! She’s very curious about you also!
You like to give kisses! Like, you hold us down sometimes and just kiss and kiss and kiss! It’s presh!
Our little photo shoot would not have been possible without the help of your favorite sister! You LOVE Sissy! And, the feeling is mutual! Actually, you think your brothers are awesome too! I most definitely have lots of help!
I’m sure you’ve all heard about Olivia. I meant to do a post on her, but haven’t had the time. She went to high school with my brother…they were both seniors. At the football game the Friday after her accident everyone wore purple for her! It’s kinda hard to find a way to dress a boy baby in purple(especially when everyone already thinks he’s a girl!) so we made a purple do-rag. 
Happy Griffin Day! Our sweet boy is eleven years old! Time please slow down! We had Griffin’s birthday at Super Skate over the weekend. Not my favorite place to partay but it’s not my birthday! Plus there’s NO where to have an eleven year old party around here. I DO have an awesome idea for next year’s party though…going to be SUPER FUN!
