Thankgoodness....

Hair grows back right?? My wonderful husband volunteered to take the boys to get a haircut. Little did I know they were getting their heads practically shaved. All I can say is if he offers to take Layla in for a haircut I will kindly decline:) Sooooooo glad their hair grows back and quick for that matter!! Thanks babe but no thanks next time.

8 Months Today!

Mommy and Me!

Bath Time!

I just love this little girl to pieces!! I don't know where the time has gone but it has gone to quickly. If she isn't the cutest little thing I don't know what is. She weighs about 17 lbs, is great at rolling and getting where she needs to go. She has the army crawl down and even buries her head in the ground, kicks and then looks like a fish out of water! It is hilarious. She loves her baths and has her two bottom teeth. She is a good little eater and loves solid foods. I LOVE to dress and do her hair everyday. She is my pride and joy and is so happy all the time. It is so fun to have a girl! So that is the update on my little Layla!

Game night.....

So Ryan and I got a new game for Christmas called "Would You Rather...?" and we had our friends over last night to try it out. Needless to say it was a success.....absolutely hilarious!! If you haven't played it, well we all recommend it. Okay maybe not Allen as you can see above...he had some fun "challenges" but completed them all with flying colors as well as his wife. She got the privilege of licking sticky syrup out of his hairy belly button. We were all laughing so hard and poor Melissa was gagging. All in all it was fun. Can't wait to play it again!!! Thanks for a good time Allen and Melissa!

6 Months and Crazy Hair!

My little princess is over 6 months old now and growing up way too fast. She is so much fun. Her hair is getting so long and just does its own thing. I put on her headband and her hair stood straight up. It is hilarious. She is so much fun and so happy all the time. I am so blessed to have such a sweet angel. I love her pretty blue eyes and chubby little cheeks. Don't you just want to squeeze them? She is a dream come true and I am so fortunate to be able to stay home with my 3 little munchkins! I love and enjoy each of them.

I just wanted to show the difference between "mom" feeding Layla and "dad" feeding Layla. I am sure many of you can relate to this. Of course the first picture of Layla is after her dad finished feeding her and she is covered in mush literally head to toe. And the second picture of her is after me (mom) feeding her. I just find it so funny. This picture is not taken on the same day even though she happens to be in the same outfit.

Dawson made this snowflake for me at preschool. He is so funny. He brought it home all wrapped up and set it under the tree. The next morning when I got up, the wrapping paper was on the floor and he had hung the ornament on the tree. Guess he couldn't wait for me to open it so he did it himself!

Chandler brought this home from church last Sunday. It is so sweet. He said, "Look mom, I sounded all the words out and wrote it by myself." It was so dang cute and he was proud as punch!

Carrie Underwood Concert!

Can I just say that I have loved Carrie Underwood since her tryout on American Idol?!? She is my favorite female country singer by far. So my husband got me tickets for our anniversary last August for her concert that she put on at the E Center last night! Not only just tickets, but on the floor, 8th row tickets!! We were 2 seats away from the cat walk. We could reach out and touch her. It was amazing! I even got one of her guitar picks that she herself threw out to the audience. It was exhilarating!!! And of course I got a t-shirt. If you like country music at all, I definitely recommend going to see her. She puts on a fabulous concert!

In memory of my best friend....

This past weekend my kids and my dad went down to Centerfield to see my mom's headstone that they had just finished. It was the first time being back there since her burial at end of June. Her headstone was just beautiful. It was perfect. It was her to a tee. It was very emotional as we walked to her grave. I don't know if any of you have lost someone extremely close, but as for me this is the hardest thing I've ever gone through losing my mom who has been my best friend my whole life. My dad is just the sweetest. We brought her some flowers (gerber daisies her favorite) and pulled the weeds off her grave. They haven't planted grass yet so there was a little work to do. We then sat down in front of her headstone and talked about her a bit. It was nice. I felt so close to her and it felt so good. We stayed there for a couple of hours. It was fun to spend some time with my dad and kids. It was a beautiful day!

I love you mom..........miss you more than ever!

Me, Layla and my dad

And here is Halloween the night before.

Chandler my pirate, Layla my flower and Dawson my Hulk!! We had a lot of fun. We went trick or treating with their cousins. It was nice weather.......such a plus!!
