Where's Katie?

Katie climbed into the empty cupboards today!

This just shows you she's on the second shelf.
At first she was screaming, but then she laughed when her sisters came over and saw what she was doing. Little show off.

Too Many lbs?

Katie was playing around in the bathroom while I was getting ready for the day and she climbed on the scale. A few minutes later she started to cry and make a fuss. I wasn't sure what the deal was... It turns out she was afraid to climb down. The silly girl was afraid of heights! The scale is less than two inches off the floor! Crazy girl...

Off to Grandmother's house Ashley goes...

Saturday night my mom asked if Ashley wanted to spend the night at her house... of course she did. So Ashley grabbed her jammers and clothes for church and headed off to grandma's house. She spent the rest of Saturday and most of Sunday with grandma (and the rest of the clan). After my mom dropped her off she told me a funny story I thought I would share.

While sitting in the bedroom folding laundry my mom said, "Ashley did you poop in your diaper?" Ashley told her she did and then my mom said, "Let's get a diaper and change you." Ashley responded, "Why?" My mom then said, "Because, you're poopy." My innocent little Ashley said with a funny expression on her face, "Who told you I was poopy?" (She's too young to have such short memory loss!)

Thanks, mom, for taking Ashley for the night. It helped us a ton! We were able to pack most of the apartment without the girls fighting as much, and Ashley had a blast! Thanks for making her so happy.

Little Climber!

Today while Andy and I were packing up the apartment, Katie decided to become a pro at climbing. This was about her seventh time climbing the chair... after she climbed up the step stool and the couches a couple times. Crazy girl!

Sparkle Toes

I know this seems silly to post, but I love my sparkle toes. Emily got me hooked on them! They stay on for about eight weeks... Yes, eight weeks! I had my toes done at the beginning of July and I just took them off last week. The only reason I took them off was because the tip of my big toe was chipped pretty bad from something falling on it... I don't remember what it was. But other than that they still looked great. This time I went for a fall/Halloween color... I LOVE Halloween, and thought I would get in the spirit of it early!

Aren't they cute?

Filling Daddy's Shoes...

Yesterday Katie pulled out Andy's shoes and tried them on...

How funny is that?

She was having a lot of fun with just the one shoe.
(This is a smile... not a cry.)

Fruit Loop Necklaces

The other day for breakfast the girls made Fruit Loop necklaces... although, Ashley didn't finish because she ate it faster than she could make it.

Sammy's was in a rainbow.

And Katie... she liked to watch Sammy and Ashley while she ate her Fruit Loops.

Ashley Is 3 Years Old!

Fun Hairstyles

"Uh, Honey... Come look at your daughters."

This is what happens when Andy watches the girls. (He told me I could write that.)

Samantha and Ashley mixed water with sidewalk chalk... and made their own creation of paint!
Of course they made sure their Barbie and Pony joined in the fun... I hope it all comes out of their clothes.
(Yes, the Barbie's hair is now blue... and the pony is just a little more colorful.)

St. Luke's Baby Book

Thanks, Dr. Hodges!

To all of those out there that had a baby at St. Luke's (Boise) they are doing a baby book. They are asking for photos of babies that were born there. It doesn't matter the age of the child. They ask that you write the first name of the baby (no last names, please), the birth date, and who delivered. It will be on display, so you will not get the picture back. It needs to be no bigger than a 5x7. You can either deliver it in person, or mail it to the Women's Clinic.



I took pictures of Katlyn today while at my follow-up appointment. The receptionists fawned over her. I think she's really cute, but it's always fun when someone agrees with you. I hope others I know will send pictures in.

Our Official Family Photo

Here are our official family photos. These were taken at the Wyne family reunion in July. Thanks, Emily, for setting everything up.

Yes, I think Ashley and Sammy both had a piece of candy in their mouths... oh, well... it shows their true character.
I love this one with Ashley and Sammy with their hands in their pockets.
This is my favorite photo of our family. (Andy's smile doesn't look as goofy with it enlarged.) Definitely going on the wall!

I just love this picture of the grandchildren (all 39)... I know all three of my girls are very unhappy, but I can't get over Noah. He looks like he is pleading with his mommy, "Please! Don't make me take this picture! I'm begging you!" (I'm sure those were his thoughts.) I think this one is going on a wall in the new house. Love you, Noah! Thanks for making me smile every time I see this picture.

Another Day of Endless Laundry

I know I talked about this before but this gives you an idea of what our laundry days look like. Isn't this ridiculous?!!! And this was after I already folded five baskets of clothes. Andy was teasing me that I was "documenting" to actually show he does the laundry sometimes... well, if you hadn't giving me the idea, Andy:) Love you for helping! We only have five people... and I'm so glad there aren't any more!

Doesn't Katie look like she's having so much fun?

Good job, Andy! Thanks for sorting the clothes.

Ah!!!

(Sorting the clothes was all he did in helping with the laundry. Love you anyway!)

Sammy's 1st Day of School

Today was Sammy's first day of preschool! This is her new outfit she picked out all by herself. When she saw the shirt she gasped and said, "This matches the flowers on my pants! Yes, I want this one." You can't see the flowers that well, but they really do match the shirt, exactly. Sammy said she had so much fun at school and she is already excited to go back on Wednesday.
