Long Overdue!!

Here are pictures that my good friend, Katie, took for me. She is an amazing photographer, and of course, I think my kids are gorgeous.

ATTENTION FAMILY:
I will be ordering these pics soon, so.....tell me what pictures you want and what sizes. Any picture that you want, I can change to black & white, vintage, or just leave in color. You tell me! :) You can either email me or leave a comment....

Katie put these in "real" vintage, aren't they so cool?? I don't have that capability. So don't ask me to do that in any of the other pictures, but you can order these :)

And if I recall correctly, Katie, wasn't it a cloudy day??? I love the bright blue sky in all the pictures. You are the best!

FOR ASHLEE AND PAM!!



When I posted some pictures of the girls, you asked for some of the boys. Ask and you shall receive!! :D I am going to miss the boys, I always tell them they are my favorites! I am very proud of Tyler, and I have always loved having him in the youth group because he is just so much fun, without being disrespectful! Even once, he thought I was upset with him, so he wrote a poem for me during church (he said it was a joke, but I still thought it was really nice) I was going to post it....I thought I still had it in my Bible, but it disappeared. :( So anyways, here is Tyler......

BIG SPLASH!!

Buying passes for $20 was the best thing we could do! We go at least once a week and the kids love it. The first 3 times, was a little frustrating because Austin wanted to only hang out in the toddler area, and Brenden wouldn't go down any of the kiddie slides, unless me and my fat pregnant self went with him, and that was no easy task. Well, the fourth time is a charm. (and Jeff went with us, and he has a way of persuading the kids to do things.) Austin finally went down the slides, rock climbing wall, diving platform, and master blaster. Not without, earning a toy and a snowcone in the process. We had to resort to bribery. BUT here are some pictures of his success!

I love that he really didn't climb, and he is already holding his nose.

A little better the second time around.

I am happy to report Brenden now does all the slides, and I don't even have to stand at the bottom!! I can now sit and be lazy! :)

Introducing my cute little niece who joined us at Big Splash, Callie. (not to be confused with my other niece, also, Kallie, but who is 5 years old :)

Also, in case you are wondering about my whole bedding fun. I went to buy the blue star one. When I saw it in person, though, it just looked really cheap for some reason. Wrinkled, thin, strings already coming out of the quilt on display. So I spent the next 2 hours, trying to decide what to do. I finally came home with a bedding set that wasn't on my blog, and I ordered the Jungle one with circles (#2, and Jeff's favorite), so they are both now in the room and I am trying to decide which one I like better. Thanks for all the help!!!!! In case you were wondering, my favorite was #3.

ONE MORE LAST HELP....

Are you tired of me asking for opinions??? Next I will post pictures of my cutie pies (and my belly for some of those asking :D ) But you guys have all helped me so much make decisions. Can you tell that I am a very indecisive person and have a hard time deciding things for myself??? Thank you for all your responses on my frames, we will be doing black and white or sepia, I will try them both (not together). AND the pressure of trying to figure out a "pattern" to put up there has relieved me. NOW, you helped me before on bedding, but we are now actually ordering it. I seriously want opinions though. I love hearing from people. AND please be honest, I know it is my house and ultimately I will decide but I love to hear what people think. My feelings do not get hurt!!!!!!!! That being said, here are my choices. I have two favorites and Jeff has two favorites (which are of course, completely different than mine), but he really doesn't care. So.......

Tell me your favorite, and if there is one or more you looked at and said, EW! You can tell me that too. I really do want to know!

CALLING ALL INTERIOR DECORTATORS....

and anyone else with an opinion :) Jeff and I just redid our living room, and I must say we LOVE it!! I posted a picture of our sofa table. Hanging above it, is a group of 9 frames, and now I have to put pictures in it. Here comes my dilemna....do the pictures need to have any rhyme or reason. Like the kids at a certain age, should it be uniform. If so, three rows of 3 makes it hard. So what should it be? Or just random pictures of my kids at whatever age, would that look good?? Then Jeff, thinks they should all be in black and white, so it still looks uniform. I prefer color pictures, but I see his point. What do you think!! I need help!!!!
