Complete.....

8 years ago this day....our family became complete....
We welcomed this beautiful person into our lives...

Lindsey Mae was the perfect completion to our family

She has brought so much love and laughter to our lives..

She has such a beautiful, fun, full of life spirit about her...she has a great, tender heart and truely cares about others....(unless they are her brother or her sister, then all bets are off!)

We love you so much Lindsey! We are so blessed

and thankful to have you to love!

Happy 8th Birthday my baby girl! Yea! Your birthday is FINALLY here!

Halloween 2008~lots of new Posts!

Don't you just love the TEETH?

We decided this Halloween-(well, me!) to go Cheap this year with the costumes and use something we already had......My version of "homemade." So, the kids dressed up as, Monster, Distressed Raider kids....Lindsey kept saying, "Dead Raiders" but, I just don't like using the word,"dead" in anything.
I thought they looked pretty good...
Daryle made this "family" pumpkin out of the pumpkin we grew. It turned out so cute and we got a lot of compliments on it.

It took some convincing but, he finally let me paint his face,,,

The girls had so much color, glitter and hairspray...that

it took a few washes to get it all out..!

They made out in the candy again! We're good on candy till next year!

Pumpkin Time!

I was so glad to make it to a Pumpkin Patch! I really wanted some Fall~pumpkin pictures...
This place had so many different kinds of pumpkins....
Pumpkins I didn't even know existed..
Cheese pumpkin, Spaghetti pumpkin...weird, weird pumpkins!
Tyler told me this would probably be the last year he will pose for pictures at the Pumpkin Patch...yes...ok....?
I'm not quite sure what he is thinking....!?!!!?

Time to C*A*R*V*E!!

They all COMPLAIN about scooping the

Pumpkin guts but, they all do it!

We grew this little BABY! We probably should of weighed it...

.....it was pretty heavy!

I think Natalie might of accidently picked a Spaghetti pumpkin...

Natalie turns 11!

Birthday Girl....for $5 bucks, you can let everyone at school

know who's birthday it is!

My pretty 11 year old daughter......
Present time!
The much wanted.... Nintendo DS

The requested birthday meal of....Ham, Bratwurst-(sp?), Ceaser Salad, Garlic bread and of course....it would not be Natalie's birthday without Macaroni & Cheese!

We love you Natalie.....we hope all your wishes come true.......

Happy 11th Birthday & many, many more..............

The slumber party......

Natalie's High School Musical 3 + Slumber Party!!
Getting ready to go into the movie! Everyone seemed to like the movie but, they all seemed to agree that it was too long and too much singing! (ummm, H*E*L*L*O "musical")

We then came back to our house and made Pizza's for dinner....

It was a nice evening so, the girls sat outside and decorated pillowcases to keep...

We had 6 girls stay the night + my own 2 so=8 girls total! It actually went really well...Nat got her feelings hurt a few times by one of her friends though, who liked to throw-out the, "I'm bored!" I don't know why she was bored but, I can only do so much!

The TRAMPOLINE....best purchase we ever made! Always a party hit!

Until next year......
