My Halloween ghouls!! Cameron was a Nerd Herd from the show Chuck, Seamus was a little lemon, Terrilyn had a fancy dress, and Alexander was superman. We had a ward trunk or treat the night before Halloween and then after picking up my mom from the airport we went out to a couple of streets and trick or treated this sadly was the only picture that I took.

We had some nice rainstorms that came through this fall...here are pictures of a hailstorm on Oct 4. This was taken from out our front door.

Seamus has had a phase of being so excited to bath that he has hopped in numerous times with Alexander before taking his clothes off...finally had the camera upstairs when he did it.

Seamus has had the cutest curls out of all of our kids. When we went back to Oklahoma in July they were adorable...well this is how long they are when his hair is wet.(Sept 14)


Sadly though I was tired of the "oh she is so cute" seriously he is in blue wearing shirts with dinosaurs and cars and trucks. But what really did it was when the EMT said "so your 2 boys and 2 girls" when they were verifying we had everyone after the accident.
Now he looks so grown up and different. It took a long time to get used to him in short hair.

Here are the other 2 and their haircuts(we did the haircuts Oct 15).

Cameron lost yet another tooth(beginning of Sept).

Seamus LOVES wearing this fireman hat I wonder if this might mean a future career path.

Jennica one of my BFF's from high school was in town(back at the beginning of Sept), so we girls spent a morning shopping at the shops in Planet Hollywood. Terrilyn LOVED spending time with the girls. We stopped and watched the rain fall. I bought a necklace and Terrilyn insisted on getting a picture with this turtle necklace on. She even snuck in a picture with Elmo and come to find out they were asking for money, there was a Woody that she really wanted to get a pic with to show Alex but I wasn't paying them money. We of course had to go to the M&M store obviously she was overjoyed to take a picture with me.

Chewy's favorite spot to sit....his nose out the doggy door silly dog.

First Day of School

YEAH!!! School has started. The kids' first day was on Monday. Cameron started 2nd grade and Terrilyn Kindergarten. This year we decided to put the kids in a Charter Montessori school, I am really excited to watch the year unfold. So far so good the kids are liking things. Terrilyn is in half day kinder(please hear the heavy sigh as I typed this, they have all day for an extra $300 a month CRAZY) the last 2 days that I have picked her up and she has been devastated and near tears. "Mom you didn't pack my lunch"(those that stay all day start eating their lunches as the others are leaving) or "Mom the teachers are so mean they wont let me stay" Breaks my heart but what do you do. Luckily I have found a couple of other moms to help carpool so I don't have to make so many trips to the school. It is about 13 miles from the house and with the half day kinder that's 3 trips in a day. Alexander is sad that he doesn't have school to go to, when we drop Terrilyn off he is ready to be left at school as well. More to come but I think somehow I might have volunteered myself for the PTO as treasurer.

Happy Birthday Terrilyn!!!!

Terrilyn's birthday isn't actually until tomorrow but with school starting and all we celebrated her birthday yesterday. She wanted to go to Chucky Cheese so there we went. For 8 months or so she has been talking about how when she turns 5 she is getting a pink Nintendo DS afterall that is when Cameron got his(now really he got it after his birthday Jeremy promised him that if he was good while he was in Alaska he could get one. I on the other hand felt like he was too young but only went for it because we were about to take a 12+ hour flight to England to see my parents for a month) The look on her face says it all. She was exstatic to get it and the games. Mom she loves the jewelry box and listens to it often. She wanted a princess cake but with out new tips I didnt want to try and conquer that so I talked her into a castle so we had a pink cake and pink frosting. ***some of these pictures not so good but LOVE the expressions on their faces still learning how to use the camera and that random boy next to Terrilyn was sharing the virtual ride with her***

Splash Park

On Saturday we were having the carpets cleaned downstairs and to leave the poor guy alone to work I took the boys to the splash park and was playing around with my camera(still learning).

It was really windy and after a while I had the boys take off their swim shirts so they weren't as cold look how white my poor babies are.
