Where does the time go?

I have been really bad at posting. When I was looking at pictures on my camera there is some fun things that I know I never posted and are quite awhile back. Hope you enjoy looking at these pictures and memories as much as I have.

I guess I am not feeding her enough. Before I cleaned up dinner I found her sneaking a chicken leg.

I got a call from pre-school. Apparently Cooper got in his first fight????

Carter had this on his face one morning. Cooper waited for Carter to fall asleep and then colored his face with marker. (I remember when Carter used to color on Cooper, payback.)

Cooper enjoyed soccer more for the social aspect. We often were yelling stop talking to the kids and go kick the soccer ball.

Carter has become quite the soccer player. He liked playing goalie best.

Yeah. Yeah. I guess this is as creative as we get in this family.

Sleepover. All 3 sick with the stomach flu, when they fell asleep in the living room, we just left them.

We woke up one morning and decided to take a 3 hour drive to four corners.

Mommy's little helper

Carter was sick on his birthday. I kinda make a sick looking cake. Good thing Carter thought it was cool.

Santa Clause

Carter sat on Santa Clause's lap first and I was having technical difficulties with the camera, so this was the only picture I got of Carter. All of the kids sat on Santa's lap without tears, I think this is the first year this has happened. Hallie was unsure, but no tears and she actually sat on his lap. She was more excited about the candy cane she got after. She loves candy. Cooper was just excited to tell a story to someone who would listen. It took him awhile to talk but now all he does is tell stories, their great.

Spider-Man sheets and Hallie's doll, oh how sweet.

Thanks daddy for painting my fingernails for the first time!

Coop loved the lizard until it bit him on the finger.

Fun at the Lake

We have enjoyed the Lake. Carter and Cooper are no longer scared of the water, they have turned into quite the fish. Hallie is a water baby and is not content unless she is in the water with the boys.

Our Summer

Summer is coming to an end at our house, school starts Tuesday. It is crazy how much life can change in just two months.

Carter has grown, it seems that he will be taller than me before long. He is so excited to start Kindergarten, I on the other hand am not (it makes me feel old). He has become quite the big brother, he has a talent for making Cooper and Hallie laugh or cry, yes both. Today Carter made us pancakes for breakfast all by himself with a little help. The other night I went to check on him and he sat straight up in bed and started giggling. I left his room and came back and he was still laughing. After about 10 minutes he laid down and went back to sleep. He does not know why he was laughing.


Cooper would be content to play games on any electronic device or watch Tom and Jerry all day long if we let him. He is not sure about Hallie since she has become so mobile, we are trying to teach him not to carry her by her neck. Cooper kept telling me that he was going to "inderarten with Carter". I had know idea what he was trying to tell me. We have been talking about Carter gets to go to Kindergarten and Cooper gets to go to Pre-School. Now Cooper is excited to go to Pre-School.

Oh Hallie! She is into everything and is so happy. She is trying to walk, she will stand there on her own for quite some time and then will take a few steps. She loves pushing anything around that will move with her as she walks. Josh and I have been saying that she will start walking this weekend when my mom is here and we are not (isn't that how it always is). Her new thing is climbing. She loves to climb up on Cooper's bed or the couch and just hang out. Amazingly she knows how to get off feet first. She has two teeth.
