labor of love

Josh loves working outside and now has a total crew of 4.  Not sure the girls were dressed in the best outdoor raking clothing but I guess it didn't stop them.  Also, S3 is a new fan of Piper the dog.  She's always been deathly afraid of dogs but had REALLY enjoyed them from afar.  Piper is her new infatuation...begging to take her on walks, feed her and give her any kind of attention!  Great daddy, daughter and dog time.

afternoon read

I caught S1 up in the tree reading this week's favorite book.  It was an amazing day outside but don't think the tree looked the most comfy...

80's day at school

instead of dressing up for halloween the school hosted a "spirit day" 80's themed.  The bigs both rocked it with articles from their own closest and mine.  Stella settled for the pumpkin shirt and skirt I made S1 6 years ago.

ups

I am loving all of the one on one time spent with my babe these last few weeks!  One of her favorite activities is jumping.  Good thing we still have the trampoline I received for my 16th birthday.

bubbles

our trio bubble bath time is limited so when it does happen we cherish it.

soccer smash

my shinning star soccer player had her second game of the season today.  she rocked it!  scored some goals
and had a blast.

 

I'm not making any promises...

but I think I'm back...

so let the celebration begin.

Happy Easter

bunnies

these bunnies kept busy hunting for eggs in our backyard. I don't know what was more ideal for hiding, the options of the yard or the tall grass.

on the go

The hardwood floors may slow her down but this little one is on the go.

dinosaurs

I wonder if Stella is going to enjoy dinosaurs as much as her big sister?

Sisters

Saylor - 7 months

Sophia - 7 months

Stella - 8 months

I really never thought that Saylor and Sophia looked alike. Of course, as sisters I always thought they had similarities but definitely not identical. Insert Stella, now I can't tell who she looks like.

playdate

Sophia has been so amazing lately with Stella. She really is a great big sister and helper.

two friends

Bring on the steak!

go wildcats

Three little cheerleaders and three BIG K-State wins! Keep up the good work Cats.

then and now - Stellie Belle

Then - back in June

Now - 8 months later...

love our little 8 month delight!

then and now - dining room

We have finally moved in and ohhhhhh what a great feeling it is! I will post some then and now pictures over the next few days (weeks or months).

Let's start with the dining room...I LOVE the light fixture in our dining room, I'm pretty sure it's my favorite of the entire house. Our table is now a tad small for the room but it works perfectly for our family until I upgrade.

Happy Halloween

long locks

Sophia found my circa 1999 LONG lost pony extension and it instantly fixed her NEED for long hair problem. So glad that 5 minutes later she wanted short hair again. Easy solution!
