Nightly Walk

The weather has been so nice lately that we have been enjoying a family walk after dinner.  I couldn't resist getting a picture the other night when both our little girls grabbed their dolls to go with them.  They sure LOVE their babies.

 

 

Girl and Her Glasses

I think I have mentioned in previous posts that this little girl enjoys putting on dress up clothes just like her older siblings.  The other day she found some glasses and she thought she was the funniest little girl walking around our house.

 

 

 

When she walks around the house, she puts her arms up and down as she goes. 

 

 

 

The next day she found another pair of glasses to wear.   

 

 

She makes our family laugh - big brother and big sister think she is quite funny.

Fall Photo's Together

Like I mentioned in a previous post, I did try to take pictures of all three of the children together.  One precious Little Girl was not interested in "posing" for the camera (or even just standing still).  So, here is what we got of the three. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These two did such a great job and did let me take a few pictures of them together.

 

 

 

 

Note to self:  Next time bring someone along to man the one year old or the camera.  And maybe some super glue to keep the one year old in one place!

 

 

Little Miss Busy Bee - 14 Months

Our Busy Little Girl - she has started walking and now loves this new freedom.  This little girl keeps our home moving right now.  She has plenty of smiles to give out as well as hugs and kisses.  I often hear her little voice saying "ma ma ma ma," as she comes up behind me and grabs my legs.  Her big brother and sister adore her and have daily hopes that she can join them in their games.  She might not be quite ready for that yet, but she is determined and tries hard to fit in.  If you came into our home, you most likely would find this Little Busy Bee climbing on something, being followed by her sister, or pushing her baby in her stroller.  She is yet another blessing the Lord has given us and we are so thankful for her.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Little Miss - 3 Years Old

Our Little Miss!  This girl brings such excitement, energy and fun to our home.  We never have a dull moment when she is around.  She LOVES her brother and sister so much and often shows it to them.  If there was a tickling contest to see who was the most, she would win.  Any time of the day, just grab her and start tickling - laughter will start and if you stop - she will ask for more.  If you came into our home, you most likely would find this little lady any where that her little sister is.  She also might be rocking her baby dolls, singing a song, or hanging like a monkey from any bar she can find.  Our family would not be the same without this girl - we love her excitement for life and are so grateful for her.

 

 

 

 

 

Little Man - 5 1/2 Years Old

This Little Man brings so much joy to our home. I cannot believe he is already five years old and has started school. He is an amazing big brother to his two little sisters.  He enjoys working at the land with his daddy and riding his new motorcycle.  If you came into our home, you most likely would see this Little Man reading a book, entertaining his sister's, or playing with his Lego's.  He loves to learn; it is exciting having him tell us new facts he is learning through his reading.  He is a great helper and encourager. We love him so much and are so grateful for him!

Fall Time Photos

I (mom) attempted to take the three kids to a nearby trail to take some Fall photos of them.  I should always go without any expectations and just see what happens.  Of course I had hopes that all would be in a great mode and ready to pose.  I was two for three!  Can you guess who would not sit (or stand still) for a photo?

 

By the time you are done viewing these photos

I think you will know.

 

 

 

 

My hope of getting a photo of all three of them together, happy (and still), quickly faded!

 

 

Stayed toned the next few days for more photos!

 

Family Picture

Helping Mom

These two little ladies love to help mommy in the kitchen.

 

Who lives in my house today?

If you follow this blog, you know that our children LOVE to dress up.  This love has been carried on to our littlest.  You can place a hat on her head, and she will keep it on for a quite awhile.  She enjoys doing any thing BIG brother and BIG sister are doing.  She loves them SO much!

 

So, who was living in my house the other day?

 

 

Looks like a Bear with her "cape" around her neck, a Lion, and a Speed Racer.

 

Both Little Sister's were curious about BIG brother's mask.

 

Jewelry

What little girl doesn't love jewelry? 

This is one way I can keep our Little Miss Busy Bee entertained. 

 She loves to sit and put multiple necklaces on...and then come show mommy.

 

 

End of Summer Praise Party

We had our traditional end of summer praise party.  It was fun for the kids to think back over the summer as they found many things to thank and praise God for. 

 

They enjoyed making signs and then holding them up for a picture..

 

 

They also always enjoy showing daddy their praise journals, in which each week they draw pictures of something they are grateful for.

 

 

 

 

 

Our Littlest can't draw yet, but she still thanked God with us.

 

 

 

Our Little Monkey Lady

This little girl is our "monkey" girl.  She LOVES to find any type of bar and use it to climb on, flip on, and try to cross on.  This did not work out so well for her (or mom and dad) when she tried climbing on the towel rack in the bathroom.  Down came the rack and down came Little Miss.  She decided after that that the "monkey bars" in bathrooms are only for "monkeys,"

not for little girls. 

 

So, since then she has decided to use

other bars to perform her talents.

 

 

Our Little Climber

This Little girl LOVES to climb.  She loves to get to the top of any thing, and then when she gets to the top - she loves to stand up and see if she can balance.  These picture tell her story....of course this truck isn't so scary to try to stand up in.  It is when she tries standing on top of tables, stairs, slides and so on that it makes mom nervous.

 

 

 

 

 

Couldn't we just sit?

 

 

Yes, she can, but never for long! 

 

 

 

Fun at the Land

 

Sunday we enjoyed a family day at the land.  The men (including Dad and Little Man) usually go out to the land to work.  Us ladies would love to join them, but for right now, it just doesn't work that well.  So, we are excited to come along to work a little, but mainly play.

 

The three girls enjoyed "driving" the tractor.

 

 

We went on a family four wheeler ride - Can you believe we all fit? 

In a few months, I don't think this work quite as well.

 

 

Little Miss decided to put on her brother's motorcycle helmet while he was taking a break from riding it.  She can't WAIT to have her own motorcycle - which she says she will have when she is five (since that is when Little Man got his).  She has already gone for a ride on Big Brother's and is quite certain she could do it "All by herself" if only Daddy would let her.

 

 

 

 

The new trailer brings excitement as the four oldest love to hop on and go for a ride.  This was at the end of a the day, so everyone was getting a little tired.  A little longer ride and some of them might have fallen asleep.

 

Visit with Great Grandma and Great Grandpa

On our way home from Michigan we stopped at Great Grandpa and Great Grandma's for a visit.  The kids enjoyed seeing their grandparents and spending some time outside picking apples and feeding the new baby cow.

 

 

 

 

 

First Day of School Photos

Although we started school in the beginning of August, I finally got a chance to take the children's First Day of School photos.

 

Little Man is more than excited to be started First Grade!

 

 

 

And Little Miss is in Preschool!
