Family Pictures




Wow Finally got it done. My brother is a professional photographer and a great one I might add. And as long as I can remember he has been taking mine and my family pics. When Devin and I first started dating he hated getting pics taken, but after the last 13 years, he is accepted the fact that my family is picture freaks.
We usually get new family pics every 6 months but since we had been living in Florence we haven't had any taken. Makes me so sad, Poor Daxton was neglected. We don't have hardly any of him as a baby.


Then picking out the outfits to match. That is really hard for all five kids and then for the parents to match. I guess I am just not very good at that part. I figured out we would do red shirts and black board shorts. Do like a summer theme. But couldn't find anything red for Aeden. Went to too many different stores just gave up and he has red shorts but sad part is they are hidden so he is the odd ball. Oh well he is still adorable. exceptionally with his hair hock, that is one hundred percent natural. CUTE CUTE.

Scary Day


Well, let me just tell you today was one of those days when I really wish Devin had called in sick for work. As many of you probably don't know I am a panickier, if that is even a word. I don't think when there is a scary situation I just panic. Well today was one of those days, The kids were playing games inside all day and then we had to leave to go get Abbi, Taylor's friend. And all of the sudden, Taylor said she felt like she was gonna throw up, so in a rushed mood I said hurry up and get too the bathroom. When I was all done loading the kids up in the car I went too check on her. She looked really pail, but had not thrown up. So told her too get a bowl (thinking that she was faking it, bad mom) and go get in the car. We went to get in and all of the sudden I looked at her and she fainted. I caught her. And just screamed. Thank goodness my neighbor had just pulled up and I yelled at her to call 911. She ran into her house and did, thank goodness. It was a nice way to meet my neighbors. A friendly hey I need help already. HHAHAHA. She then woke up and was coherent, and then proceeded to throw up. Thank goodness for the bowl.


Well she is OK the paramedics came and checked her out and said that they thought she was just dehydrated. So we have been keeping her inside and drinking lots of fluids. I told her to never do that again. Exceptionally when dad isn't home. The joys of being parents. We are given trials for a reason but let me tell you. They just keep getting harder and harder as we get older. But we learn from them. Hopefully???????????

Reunion

Family Reunion

Well had another camping trip, This time it was really nice during the day and we froze our BUTTS off at night. Aeden didn't sleep at all the first night. And I had the worst headache because I was so cold. But then I got a nice nap and then the second night was better. Taylor slept with her cousins in their trailer, so we used her sleeping bag on top of us and it was much warmer and so we slept like a good baby, hahahaha.



We went up by strawberry, next too a nice big open field so the kids could play pretty much anything. My family gets together once a year and usually camps. Lets just say the adults are way over powered by kids. But its nice because there are more older kids to keep the younger ones happy. We always have the usual dirty face and someone always leaves with a bruise. Well this time as usual Daxton always had the dirty face and this time Aeden had the bruise. He is getting active since he started crawling and he crawled right off the front seat of the car and right past his dads arms. Dad felt horrible. But won't be the last time he gets a bruise if he is anything like his brothers and don't forget big tomboy sister. hahahaha. Was fun but next time we will not go that far up the mountain this early in the summer.
