Bye Bye Bottles.....

It is official, we are done with baby bottles forever and ever..... Claire and Christian had their last bottles about two and a half weeks ago. It is very bittersweet for me because I am glad to be past that stage but I also know we won't have any more babies to feed:( We have been buying diapers for almost five years, ugh! We have had two kiddos taking a bottle and in diapers for the past 2 1/2+ years (hopefully Claire will get the potty training down pat SOON). Can you believe that??? Neither can we! It has been tough at times but we would not change one second of it for the world!!!!!!!

Lost but not forgotten.....

I have not forgotten about my blog...... It has been really crazy around here the past couple of weeks. Todd lost his job two and a half weeks ago. Please pray that he is able to find a new job before X-mas. Christian was sick (again, poor little guy!!) with an ear infection and breathing issues but luckily we caught it in time that we did not have to spend another week in the hospital this year, two hospital stays was more than enough this year! We had to put our cat, Tigger, asleep due to health and age issues. He was over 18 years old and his age was getting the best off him. Then I went to Kentucky for the auction of my grandparents estate and property. It was very sad to see the farm for the very last time while it was still in our family:(
I promise to post some new pics of the kiddos sometime this week!!!

Black and White Photos

I love my three children more than ANYTHING in this world and I love pictures (almost as much). Pictures to me, are a memory of "that exact moment in time" you want to remember and treasure forever. If you have ever been to my house, you know this for a fact. I have pictures EVERYWHERE!! I love black and white, color, old and new, every shape and size. So, I was up late last night because I couldn't sleep (AGAIN!) and started fiddling with some of the pictures from the post below. And this is what I came up with....

I hope you enjoyed my "editing" and babies as much as I do!!!

Enjoying a sunny day.....

The kids and I have been taking advantage of this warm weather as much as we can the past few days. I took my love for my kids and camera and tried to combine the two. I hope you enjoying them as much as I do....

The Trio.....

Reagan, Christian and Claire

Christian Lewis..... who is going a mile a minute, giving kisses and still LOVES to eat!

Claire Marie..... who is talking up a storm, being very independent on everything, and LOVES her books and baby dolls!!!

Reagan Leeanne...... who is growing up WAAAY to fast, writing her name and numbers and LOVES Scooby Doo!!!

My Babies..........................

And I have not forgotten about Libby.....

HALLOWEEN NIGHT...............

Happy Halloween (a bit late)!!!!



Introducing my little fairy, Claire, my pumpkin, Christian and Daphne (from Scooby Doo), Reagan...




The whole group of "trick or treaters" before we headed out....


Claire was so excited and knew just what to do at each house and was very polite by saying, "Thank You" and "Halloween", her version of Happy Halloween.


Reagan fought over wearing her wig but we finally got it on her with about 10 bobby pins....
She showed Claire and Christian what to do when we first started out.


Christian was hilarious... He never once tried to take the hat of his pumpkin off, he loved going up to the doors and would get mad if we did not take him out of the wagon, and wanted to eat ALL the candy right then and there.

Here's a few pictures of them all checking out their stash...

I had to take this picture because Christian was trying to eat a Snickers bar thru the wrapper...

(Christian did get his hair cut to night, about 3 months too late:o) )
