Random Thoughts

I've been thinking a lot about blogging lately. I don't know if I'm going to continue it or not. I mean, sometimes I feel like I think 'in blog.' Do you know what I mean... you probably do if you blog. Basically, it is something like, when you are in the middle of a really special moment or something hilarious happens, you have to just about break your neck to get your camera so you can record what happened... instead of just ENJOYING the moment! But, then I have the dilema of wanting to record them so I can look back on them one day. Anyway, maybe here, maybe there I will do a post... we'll see. I'm still trying to figure it all out.

And, just so you know, I am soooo looking forward to the time change (March 13)! My boys should wake up at 7:30/8 instead of 6:30/7... oh thank you Jesus!

And now, some pictures....

Oh first, did yall see THESE and THESE from Harper's 2nd birthday? Nancy is soooo awesome for capturing these fun moments! It allowed me to be IN the moment & not worry about trying to capture it all the time. HEY! That would be the solution! Nancy, don't you want to move here to TN so you can follow us around all the time & photograph our life?!?! (hee hee)

Okay, and now some pictures from the amature photographer (I actually just wrote it as photogopher & it made me laugh...hope these pics load fast... I really need to go to bed. Sheesh... just looked at the clock & it is only 8:53pm. To me it feels like 1am -hahah... I really am LOL(ing)... I just wrote 1pm...guess it can feel like 1 pm too... that is naptime at our house:-D [if you didn't follow any of that, just move along]...)

Chris & I are trying to figure out who is who in this picture... we think...
W, M, C
The sweetest big sissy in the world!


Being "tunggie" (Harper's made up word for snuggie) after a very very long day that I didn't think I would survive. But I did. And I got this nice reward at the end of it. Do I look tired? I am.
...and because I love naked babies... I can't wait 'til summer!!!!



Love to all,

First Food

I seriously don't know where to start, so I am going to work my way through my camera & these are the first memories I captured with it. Well other than a few other shots that are very dark & just bad (but you don't want to see those)

So, here is the first time we fed the boys rice cereal. You can tell they weren't fans of it, but now... OH.MY.GOODNESS. I fix them one giant bowl of rice cereal plus two containers of baby food and they eat it all.

Boys are so different than girls, and one way of telling that is how they eat. Harper was nothing like this. It would take her 3-4 meals to finish one container of baby food. She is still a nibbler. Every now and then she will eat a gigantic meal, but usually we have to coax her to eat with some sort of 'surprise' at the end of her meal! The other morning she woke up, sat down to eat some eggs picked up her fork, and paused. She looked at me with her bright honey brown eyes and with all sincerity (while nodding her head) asked, "cookie after eggs?" hahaha...guess I will have to work on that. These boys won't have any trouble eating. I wish there was a way I could start stocking up on food now for when they are teenagers!!! I can only imagine!

haha... Warner (middle) is like.. what is happening? I'm not too sure about this!


We now have their highchairs on the ground. They just took up too much room on the table, so now they sit all lined up (see below). They get so frustrated b/c by the time brother #3 is being fed brother #1 is screaming for more. My pulse races & I sweat when I feed them because it takes lots of concentration! ha ha! I'm getting much better, but they are somewhat demanding little fellas!

Warner not too sure of the taste!

Mav with the majority of it on his bib.

Crews just wondering when it will all be over! haha!

Feeding time with Daddy:

double time!! He's awesome!

Macky thinks Daddy is soooo funny!!!

yumm

hey, give me some of what you got

clean up!

Edited to add: To get these shots from above I climbed up onto our island counter. While I was up there Harper looks at me and says, "Mommy!! Sit Down!!" Hey, at least the lessons on standing up in her highchair are sticking! :-)

We're Baaaack!

I have no idea where to begin. It has been a wonderful couple of months.

We are pretty much settled in our new house & are able to stretch out! So nice! Here is a picture of our cozy abode in the snow...

We had a great Thanksgiving (the day after we moved) and a crazy Christmas & New Years.

I think we have had visitors every weekend since, but it has been fun!

I am going to try to update with pictures, but I got a new camera (my surprise Christmas present from Chris!!!), and today when I went to download pictures I had taken 714. HOLY MOLY!!!! So, I have to go through them & figure out what is internet worthy.

The boys turned 6 months on the 16th & Harper will be two this month. I've been planning her party & I am sooo excited...can't wait to show pictures!

Warner, Maverick, Crews

Anyway, let me try to gather my thoughts and write a post that isn't like a ping pong ball. Oh well, guess you have to start somewhere. So, here are some pictures because I know that is what you all really want :-)
