Im alive!

So, the house is done and the shower we threw for Presley at my house is over....so my life may be getting back to normal! Now, if I can just get a baby and screw up that normal, I'd be happy!! We have family in on both sides for the holidays..so the lack of posting may not improve anytime in the next week, but soon!! Honestly, I am working off the laptop since the computer is dead and that is the real reason for lack of posting...I do not love laptops at all!

This picture was at the park yesterday for Kirkely's one year birthday..I am truly impressed that Amber only took pictures for 30 seconds and managed to get this one...everyone has a smile on their face!!!!!!! Bottom Row:Charlie, Noah, Mom, Presley, Brady

Top Row:Katie, Sage, Addison, Kirkley and Dad

....all eight kids together...Mom and Dad are in HEAVEN!!!!!

BTW..anyone think that I need a girl...Addison, Sage and Katie have each other...

Noah, Brady and Charlie have each other....

Kirkley and Presley need their next friend to be a girl!!

Boo in the Zoo!

So, we moved recently..to be more specific we did the bulk of our move on Sat the 31st..yup, Halloween. Big surprise that I could not find anything that night..my costume, my decorations for my trunk at church..um towels to dry off with so I could go clean to the Funnival!! So, the only Halloween pictures I have this year are from Boo in the Zoo, which was about a week before Halloween! These 2 crack me up!

Staring at squirrels..cause that's what we came to the Zoo to see...

I cannot remember if she was a runway diva or a runaway diva..one of the two!!

Our giraffe looking at the giraffes!!

I never asked Addison what she was, cause I know I was supposed to know..a blue haired kitty cat??!!

Its hard to see in the pictures, but the Elephants were soo close to us that night!

Insert.. "Don't take my picture" and that will be every caption for Charlie that night!!

Mom and Dad and 2 of their 8.5....

Please look at my child's expression..can you tell he is 2!!

Okay, Charlie was terrified of these tall people, and I do not blame him..they were freaky looking. Even Addison and Katie were a bit scared!

No way could I push both boys and have a kiddo on my shoulders..only a Daddy or Grandaddy can pull that off!

My one smile for the night!!

Love the lollipop through the missing teeth!

Another great year at Boo in the Zoo..and it was just what I wanted to do for my birthday!! Still working on the house..and it is kicking my butt!! I will get pictures up once we get the office going!

Bless our hearts..

Bless our hearts..were the people that I used to talk about (i know, serves me right huh)..we are now the featured couple..the ones they cannot get rid of...ughhhh. If one person tells me to be patient...well, don't, it wont be good for either of us!

Great birthday gift!

One of my favorite birthday gifts this year was from my mother-in-law. She surprised me by taking Charlie to get his pictures taken..and she got some super cute pictures!! I put these on the blog from Shutterfly so there is weird spacing..anytime I tried to fix it, I lost pictures..so don't mind the weird set up!

Now this is a face I recognize!!

He looks like such a little boy here!

Now, if this is not familiar...!!

This is his serious face that I see all the time!!

Cute! But I am guessing they are making some big plan to get in trouble!

LOVE IT!!!

I know I am his mom so that makes me biased, but how precious!!

I thought this turned out great!

Big Boy

Already framed!!!!
