STEP BY STEP

Notice how Sully is already licking his lips...

Right behind fire, Jon Favreau, and running over take-out containers on my list of favorite things is icing... yummy...

the architects...
and masons...

and icing thieves...

Sully practicing for his food styling career...

taaa-daaahhh!

SIX CHILDREN... HOW HARD CAN IT BE TO GET A GOOD ONE?

First try isn't so bad. Cute shot, if I do say so myself...Ok. Sully look at the camera. Harrison and Talon, look up. Rylee, sit up. Someone make Addison smile. Harrison, look up. Rylee, sit up. Somebody make Addison smile. Sully let go of Reese's head...

Seriously. Sully, let go of Reese's head.

Harrison, look at the camera and not us shouting at Sully to let go of Reese's head!

ok... we are back on track... now, smile...

CHEESE! ...or not.

yep... I give up...

calf rope... uncle...

should have stopped with the first one...

IF IT'S BEEN SAID ONCE, IT'S BEEN SAID A MILLION TIMES...

That's what you get for jumping on the bed!I laid down on the sofa to "rest my eyes" and found a monkey ER when I woke. I love how Sully's has the same injury as Harrison's. Monkey see, Monkey do...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I ALWAYS WANTED TWINS...

MAMA SAID WASH YOUR HAIR

ROCK-PAPER-SCISSORS-WINE

The boys were a little disappointed when I told them no other kids were coming to the last potluck. Things soon changed when they brought out the Bakugan basket. Note: Bob Loblaw and Bakugan are not related unless you are Jennifer and in that case, they are forever linked.
and the hippos had to be fed...
and we practiced counting to one in Spanish...

So the boys learned that the chaos created by mom's friends is just as much fun, if not more, than the chaos created by their friends.

guess we'll have to start calling them play-dates instead of potlucks...

MACE & MO

our neglected puppy finally gets a little attention...

FALL HAS ARRIVED!

FESTIVITIES...

Trunk or Treat at our church was so much fun! this was my favorite trunk-
Han and Boba

Bob went as a Dad...

Harrison thought his costume was pretty funny...

Talon and Rylee decided to join us at the last minute!

and Tyson...

Addison stayed out of the rain.

The boys are on a wanting a baby sister kick again. Harrison also wants a pygmy monkey... not happening...
