Lucky Seven

Has it really been seven years already? I know it's cliche, but it really does feel like just the other day that Eric and I were just having fun and dating without having to hire a babysitter. Now we very rarely even eat out because to feed a family of five takes more than this cheap mom wants to spend. I do have to say though, we still have just as much fun! Love you babe!

For Uncle Jimmer....Laid Up in the Hospital

I had to share this conversation Jacksen and I had on the way to get Ty from school today.

Jacksen: Mom, do I have blood in me?

Me: Yep

Jacksen: Why?

Me: That's just how Heavenly Father made us.

Jacksen: But I came in a box.

Me: What? Came where?

Jacksen: You know, the customers picked me, and then I came to you in a box.

Me: Honey, you came out of mom's tummy, remember when Ady was in my tummy?

Jacksen: I DIDN"T WANT TO COME OUT OF A TUMMY!! I WANTED TO COME IN A BOX!!
(literally yelling...so funny)

The Princess and the "Pee"

That's right....23 months and potty trained! I just wish I could take credit for it. Okay, I did purchase the adorable pink throne, but as for the rest...Ady did it pretty much on her own. Once she got that she couldn't stand up and pee (she has two older brothers), she had it figured out. I have it figured out that it has been almost six years straight of buying diapers and I am one happy woman right now!

Halloween

Gotta love Halloween. The costumes, the candy, and yes...the screaming, sugar-filled children too. This year, Tysen was an army ranger..."G.I. TY." Jacksen was a horse, and Adysen was a bumblebee. It was lots of fun and even though Eric had a game, we survived another Halloween!

This is J and his cousin Mykenzie. I love this picture, I just know we will laugh at it someday.



This is the end of the night. Would it really be Halloween without Hocus Pocus and popcorn?
