Boston Dean Cook 11 weeks old!




He started cooing and smiling about a week ago and I tell you what I can not get enough of the little guy. He is so cute and I'm in love with him!

A cure for the blues.....


I had been feeling a little blue and ornery. It had been snowing all day and I needed something to lift my spirits. I first went out and shoveled the walks, jumped in the snow with Savannah, went back inside and bundled the rest of the kids up so we could all enjoy a night in the snow. We had so much fun! The kids made snow angels, pulled each other around on the sled, and threw snow at each other for a good hour. Some neighbor kids also came out and I tell you what....I felt so much better when I went back inside. When we got inside my sweet husband had a cup full of hot chocolate ready for all of us. It was a great way to top of the fun night in the snow with the kids. So if you're feeling a little bit blue and there is fresh snow out side, bundle everyone up and go play like you used to when you were a little kid. It brought back all kinds of great memories! Here are my sweet little snow angels minus one!

Auttumn is pottytrained...kind of!

I'm sitting here feeding the baby and thinking about how Auttumn is potty trained and that I should blog about it. So yippee right....well kind of yippeeeeeeee emphasizing the pee part of that word. She was doing great for about a week and a half, going pee all by herself, even wiping all by herself. The only thing that was a little tiring was that she would unravel the whole role tp every time she would go. That's nothing to what she's doing now. Yesterday I caught her throwing tp wads at Noelle. And yes she was getting them wet from the toilet water. I could hear her laughing and of course Noelle screaming, so I went to see what was going on. Noelle informed me that she was throwing tp wads at her and that she thought it was so gross. "Yes that is descusting" i said, trying to stifel a laugh. Really that's not the worst of it, if Auttumn doesn't make it to the bathroom she'll just sit on the floor and piddle like a little dog. This morning while I was teaching pilates and she pooped in her panties while crawling around the equipment. "Don't worry" I say to myself, it didn't get anywhere but inside her panties. Some days I think I'm going to loose my mind........so Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
