You never know what you might find when you go digging through years of pictures!
Sierra was 5 years old here.....
What in the WORLD??
This is for sure a smile i'll be showing her prom date in the future!
Care to take a closer look?
C'mon, you know you wanna.......
And by the way....after being nursed most of his life back then, Carson had a jolly time with the statue's nipples.
Thats all folks.
Hope everyone is having a nice holiday weekend.
We've been taking advantage of the gorgeous weather, not a cloud in the sky, so we've been swimming all weekend!
I've been wanting to update pictures of my little angel, so here they are, one day shy of her turning 2 months old!
I can't begin to explain how much i love rushing in to get her out of her crib in the morning, and seeing her little face, or how much i hate putting her to bed at night because i dont want to let her go (she sleeps through the night by the way!)
She is more than I could have ever prayed for, and Im so thankful she is in my life.
These 2 big Brothers just adore their baby Sister!
Nattie's future boyfriends....BEWARE!
Bobby is so gentle and loving......
And silly Carson loves her "more than all the numbers"
Today was the perfect day to take much needed pictures of the 'bigger' kids.
We played outside for 2 hours and I was able to capture the heart of them!
Caeleigh is out of town with her cheerleading team, so I wasn't able to get her in the pictures, and miss Natalie was sleeping peacefully.......so just the 3 little "middle beans" today!
Where are my teeth?
This one of Carson cracks me up!
Throwing back his head and giving his evil giggle as he loads his water gun!
Notice the bubble near his head!
Cute.
Apparently, I wasn't dreaming when I woke up to a pair of cartoon buttcheeks that walks talks and carries a gun.
Half asleep and very confused......i just stared at the tv until i could figure out what exactly I was looking at, or if it was my over-active imagination.
Nope, this was real, VERY real.
Yes folks.....its Assy Mcgee.
Its a cartoon on cartoon network late late late at night, when only us who have newborns are awake.
Why? I have no idea. Whatsoever.
Disturbing? Very...VERY.
Make any sense? NOT A BIT!
But it was damn funny!
Okay or maybe its just me?
Who the heck comes up with this stuff?
P.S. Click HERE to go to the Assy Mcgee fartboard for a wide array of farts.
You know.....just in case your bored.
Hey everyone!
I know its been a while, but its also been a while since we've had a good routine going here!
Natalie will be 4 weeks old tomorrow, and 3 of those 4 weeks I have been sick.
1st with 2 back to back breast infections, and then with the sinus thing.
Carson had a 101 fever this past weekend, and Sierra came home early today with the same fever.
Add a bunch of not sleeping into the mix , along with 3 parent teacher conferences, a billion dr. appointments, trying desperately to get re-organized and clean after months of bedrest, taking care of 4 other children along with my newborn, and well.....
Its been crazy to say the least!
I feel though, that things are now getting back on track.
Its a good feeling!
Natalie is sweet as honey!
She is VERY alert and loves to be talked to.
She 's a good, good baby girl.
Only cries if she's hungry, or needs a diapey change.......okay and sometimes because she wants to be held......but thats okay cause I wanna hold her.........who wouldn't?
She is such a special little addition to our family.......she completes us.
Mommy, Daddy, Carson, and Natalie had a nice little outing on this beautiful spring day!
Miss Natalie had her 2 week check up at the dr's office this morning.
She is not quite 7 pounds again, but she's getting there....we are going to start supplementing just a bit with some formula to bulk her up!
We will still be breastfeeding full time as well.
Afterward, we went to daddy's store to show Natalie off to her Nana Wanda.
Natalie sure liked all of that attention, she slept peacefully the whole time.
Im thinking about taking my pillow and blanket there next time so I too, can catch some sleep!
All of the little old ladies that came in and out of the store really enjoyed looking at her and talking all about her.
Carson was right by my side the whole time, drinking his cool blue slushee.
The nice old ladies thought how nice it was for me to have "One girl, and One boy".
AS IF!
It was cute to see them react once they learned that I actually have 3 girls, and 2 boys.
After visiting for a bit, we took our One boy to stride right to buy him some cool new sneakers to fit his WIDE WEET.
Thank goodness those stinky fireman boots are history.........but, i will admit i 'll miss seeing him in them.
They were always together.
Carson and his red fireman rainboots.
Another bittersweet memory.
As far as the new shoes......he loves them, and dosnt want to take them off.
At least one of us will be looking sweet in her bikini this summer!!
Check out the hot little number Nattie's Aunt Niki bought for her!!
I can't wait to see her teeny little biscuits in it ......
Its been a while.......huh?
We've been a little busy having a baby, and getting over a couple of nasty breast infections, while breastfeeding.
We're on the road to recovery now, and more ready than ever to get back to "life".
After a long and ridiculous labor, thanks to our "doctor", which I'll spare you the details of, because, well, in comparison to having our special girl here with us, its just not important anymore.............
So........at 36.6 weeks, little Natalie Grace came into our lives on Thursday, March 27th, at 3:07 pm.
She weighed 7 pounds even, was 18.4 inches long, and more precious than anything we could have imagined.
The other little beans are in love with, and cannot get enough of her........ever.
Click on the video if you'd like to see what a single piece of candy can do to my children.
Thanks , Easter Bunny.
This specific child, happens to be Carson, the 4th bean.
Although the video is dark....he is wearing his red fireman rain boots, as always.
Be sure to turn up the volume.......so you can hear the wild man's giggles!
We've had an eventful morning, with having the house behind us catch on fire.
The kiddies are all into it, asking a billion questions.
They are sad, bewildered, nervous.....quite a bit shaken up and i can imagine they will be afraid this will happen to our house for quite some time to come.
Along with being able to stand on our back porch and witness the whole thing ourselves, it was also just on the breaking news at noon, on channel 11.
Click on this link below to see the WBAL news....and while you are watching, you can see our house, and pool, on the left hand side of the screen.
So sad when it hits so close to home.......

Thank goodness no one was caught in this fire, and the couple had no children.
Hopefully, they had good insurance!
Lets keep these folks in our thoughts and prayers.
According to the owners, the husband was in his garage, and went to start up his motorcycle when the whole thing burst into flames....it took the fire department 25 minutes to get here, and another 10 minutes to set up.
Here is the side where the garage was, the house you see behind it, to your right, is ours.
*i wasnt aware that the video was sideways the whole time.....sorry!*
"We" still have a nasty cold and cough, however.........
here "we" are at 9 months!
2 days shy of 36 weeks.
Medication stops at 37 weeks.
Nattie comes at the very latest, 38 weeks.
So.......if little miss decides to stick it out, all the way to her 38 week date, that means we have 16 days left!
16 DAYS PEOPLE!
16 or less.
It really doesn't sound all that far when i say it that way!
p.s.those of you who see me in person......will from now on, ONLY see me in this outfit.
Its officially the only thing that fits!
I think the kids are going just as crazy as I am waiting for our bundle!
She's all they talk about.
Caeleigh always wonders how many days are left.
Bobby hopes she has green eyes like "us" (he and i are the only ones)
Sierra just wrote a note on the Wii, stating "i love natalie and chocolate bars and vanilla bars" (i didnt know there was a such thing as vanilla bars.....but ok then)
and carson....he just continues to rub and kiss all over my ginormous belly all day.
This past sunday, Caeleigh and her team, had their 4th cheerleading competition, resulting in their 4th, 1st place win!
This team is on fire!
Only one more competition before they are off to their Final Destination spot!
(which i wont disclose due to the wide array of freaks on the internet)
Go team Go.
