I'm so behind on my blog. I'm still having camera computer issues! Sorry! I'm also crazy busy these days working out and preparing food! Gosh being healthy and getting in shape is super time consuming! Just wanted to say Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband! He is the greatest! It's so fun to have spent the last 16 birthdays with him! I am taking him to Outback Steakhouse tonight his very very favorite! He is super excited! Thank you Conny for babysitting the munchkins!
The other night Carter was playing with our new computer making silly videos and Emmerie said "Carter make me a fudgit!" We were all like What? Then Carter realized she meant midget. The video distorted them so they looked like short pudgy people. She is always saying funny little things like that and making us laugh! I'm glad to be able to write these things on our blog to remember them! Love ya Em!!
Ben is working on turning a space in our attic into a play room for the kids so the other night while up there we hear Emmie talking about cotton candy.......then I realize she is holding a ball of insulation. How funny that she thought we had all this cotton candy up in our attic! She is such a funny girl!
I'm very close to giving up on this stupid blog thing!! It's driving me crazy! Every time I figure something out something changes and I have to figure it out all over again. Our camera died so I started using my phone so Holly taught me how to email the picture but then our computer died and this new computer does not like me. So then I had to save them somewhere new and turning them is too hard! I figured it out for my last post but tried 4 times today with no luck so you have to turn your head sorry! Ben hates when I take sideways pictures so I guess it serves me right! Anyway....Ray had a great birthday! He really loved his cake! All his cousins stood around his highchair and watched him! It was super cute! I was a little sad because this is most likely our last one year old! We sure love this adorable little boy! He missed all his cousins who couldn't be there though!
Happy anniversary babe! I can't believe another year has passed! It has now been 15 1/2 years since we began dating! It's weird to think that I have loved you for 1/2 my life! Pretty cool! Thanks for being such an amazing husband friend and father! You are the greatest! I love how I still get excited when I see you calling on my cell phone like I did in high school...unless the kids are driving me crazy and then I answer the phone with a loud mean "what?" Ha Ha I love how we laugh together at the stupidest things and have so much fun just watching a movie! Thanks for putting up with all my craziness! I'm excited to spend another 13 with you and many more! I love you!
Ben holding Ray
Even our cat got in on the fun!
Emmie had Sage and Bailey do her hair in a cup just for fun! It's so long now that she can almost sit on it!
Sage and Bailey were thing one and thing two only they were dead! Silly girls!
Nolan was a zombie with his brain spilling out of his head!
I realized while I was doing the girls hair that it would be fun to do something silly so I put a cup in my hair too.
Ben holding Ray....we gave him a sucker and he thought he was so cool keeping it in his mouth with no hands!
Ray the pea pod and Emmie the bunny!
Just wanted to put a cute picture of my honey as he was leaving for work! I love that he has a job that he loves!!! He sure deserves it after working at so many crummy jobs over the years! I'm so grateful to have a wonderful hard working husband! He is the best! Love you babe!

I can't believe how big our baby is!!! He will be one in about 2 weeks! Wow this year has flown by! He is such a fun little boy! He says Mom, Dad, bye bye, hi, cat, and just learned uh-oh! He isn't walking yet but crawls all over the house...usually with one knee and one foot. He is mastering stairs, waving goodbye, opening and closing doors, and knows how to get his way with everyone in this house! We just love this little boy!
Carter turned 13 on Friday! I took him out to lunch...his favorite El Cupidos a big jake with extra cream cheese jalapeno sauce. For his birthday he wanted 4 things.....
#1 The new Kingdom Hearts game
#2 His cousin Marlee to come over
#3 My yummy chicken enchiladas
#4 cheesecake
So Marlee came over after school and they sat on the couch for almost 3 hours playing their new games (Marlee got it too for her bday on the 5th from her sweet brother!) They each got it for the DS so they linked them and played together. Then we ate yummy enchiladas a recipe we got from Aunt Brandy! Then before cheesecake time Carter said he started feeling yucky so he didn't have any. Then Marlee started feeling bad so by 10pm they were both asleep on the couch! Poor kids....pretty crappy birthday for Carter! Stupid flu! Now Bailey and Nolan are sick too. Carter hasn't gotten off the couch except to pee all weekend. btw I sang " What time is it? cheesecake time!" like from High School Musical and my kids thought I was a dork! I guess that's what happens when you have a teenager! "
Last Saturday we were driving to Nolan's soccer game and we were talking about where the kids were born. Emmie says " I was borned on the wall". We were laughing and asked her where she heard that. She said " Dad told me." So Ben finally remembered that a long time ago he was looking at a map hung on the wall and showed Emmie where we live now in AZ and then pointed to the other side of the country to show her where she was born. The other side of the map was missing so he put his finger on the wall about where PA would be and told her she was born there.....apparently on the wall.
We have been keeping busy! I'm so excited for Fall! I love this time of year! Our yard is filled with leaves and the kids leave the house with a light jacket on in the morning...Fun Fun! Nolan has soccer games on Saturday and has started cubscouts- which he loves! Ray is all over the place...still just crawling but he's really fast! I can't believe he turns ONE in less that a month! The rest of us are busy with work, school, and keeping up with life but we LOVE it so life is good!!!
