When I was 6 I had a 'Harry' doll that I took everywhere with me. When we moved he got lost. Tonight Kay brought this book home to read. It is like Harry is speaking to me from the beyond. I miss you Harry!!!!!

Short order cook

When I get home I feel like everyone in the house is waiting for me to feed them.  The first thing B says when he calls me is 'So, what is on tap for dinner.'  The girls both want food as soon as they walk in.  So, it was only fitting that I snap this picture of the 5th member of our household anxiously waiting his food as well.

Just call me Flo.

Hand-me-downs

Aunt Karie was nice enough to hand down her girl's old dance costumes.  My girls are in heaven.

Thanksgiving - The Z's

Kacy was nice enough to let us have it at her house since Gaga's back is still hurting her. 



We may or may not be slugs on Thanksgiving. 













I promise I did not eat paint chips when I was pregnant.











Kendall may be the skinniest kid ever.  Also... watch Kaylen in these next two pics.  We were all jumping for Kendall.

Thanksgiving - The Merritt's

As per our normal Thanksgiving tradition... we start our day at The Merritt's. 

The girls waste no time grabbing their toys and start playing.



Brothers




Don't think they even realized they were doing the same thing.



Picking up pecans. Don't worry, they were given permission.




Uncle Neal teaching the girls to look both ways.






Next...off to Kacy's house....

Christmas shopping

When going through Walmart ad, Laney picks 6.00 doll for x-mas. We say 'What else do you want?' She said 'That is all. I dust want one sing.' Me 'you don't want a trampoline?' Laney 'No, that is too many things.' I'm liking this attitude.

Sounds from our home.

Kay: I know I don't have homework but I'm going to read you all these books. (About 7)
Me: that is a lot.
Kay: Well, it makes my brain grow to read. I'm just a kid, Mom. I need to grow my brain.

I think I have been put in my place by a 6 year old.

Sisters

The girls have really started getting along much better.  It warms my heart.

When we pick Kay up from school.  Bugs runs to her screaming 'Sister!!! It's time to go home!!! I got your pack-pack'

Sounds in our house.

This conversation will not surprise my mom or sister.

Me to Kaylen: Yes! You don't have any homework tonight!
Kaylen: Are you sure? Not even one paper.
Me: nope.
Kaylen: Library book?
Me: Nope. I'm so excited.
Kaylen: Awe Man :(.

Park in the Fall

The girls and I went to the park tonight.  It was so neat to be there as they set up for the Festival of Lights. 

Happy Fall Y'all

Just some fall pics in the leaves. 







Kobe and Kay jumping in the leaves.




Kobe Photo bomb










Kobe is becoming an old man.

Field trip - Veteran's day

Kay's class walked down to the park to talk about and view the Veteran's Memorial they have there.  Each class picked some names to put on their paper and got to play a bit.  It was a very nice day so they had a great time.  I brought Bugs with us also. 





Her friend, Lacy.  She is the sweetest little girl.  I'm so glad she has made friends with her.

Pinterest Fail

They liked being in the shirt.

Happy Birthday, My Love!!!

The girls and I made B a cake for his birthday.  50% of my family does not really like cake.  Yes, they are crazy.  Bugs was the only one who actually ate any of the cake.   

And so...

...it begins.  16 is going to be fun.
