I took all of these pictures on a cloudy breezy night right before it started to rain. I put her in Jamie’s birth announcement outfit which is 0-3months and its really too small so she won’t be wearing it again but its one of the few pieces of baby girls clothes that I can’t part [...]
Jillian just turned 9 months! She now has 4 top teeth and 2 bottom. She sits up well and gets places by rolling and by inching forward on her belly but she is making some progress with crawling. She did her first clap hands last week but she mostly claps her feet! She is still [...]
Well I might as well be the 3rd mom to blog about our day yesterday! Between the 3 of us we took a gazillion pictures of our combined 9 kids swimming and having fun together. I admit I am not back to my normal “invite the world over” self since having the 4th baby but [...]
Ben and Jamie really liked their party yesterday and I’m so happy! I think we had 19 kids, 2 babies and 15 adults. This was the EASIEST party that we have ever had for our kids! We had it at the roller rink during “trike trot and roll” time where the kids can use skates [...]
Ooh you can never get too many snacks to review and this time 5 readers can win some too! Hostess sent us 3 flavors of 100 calorie snacks to try: crumb cake, chocolate and carrot cake. We liked them and they didn’t last that long! Only Ben, Jamie and I tried the snacks. Apparently I [...]

We missed our chance to get a video of Darth Pooh, but here is Jamie doing her Darth Vader impression.
Here is the birthday boy on each of his birthdays: Baby Ben all 9lbs 10oz of cuteness! Ben looking like a cupie doll with his first birthday cake! Grandma got him a big wheel for his 2nd birthday, its pretty worn out now. Ooh we started a Chuck E Cheese tradition on his 3rd birthday, [...]
I like mixing up the snacks my kids eat and I love when I find something new that they like. Nature Valley Nut Clusters and one of the healthier options for kids snacks and they are great adult snacks too. Any nut lover would have to enjoy these crunchy and sweet nut and granola filled [...]
Now that I’ve rediscovered one of our camera lenses, I thought I’d try for some cute pictures of Jillian. I really love this Canon lens. All these pictures were taken using full auto and the built in flash. The only pain is that there is no zoom, it is a fixed lens. So if you [...]
