Diaper Change

Raleigh always wants to change the baby's diaper and always helps me and asks if she can do it all by herself. I decided I would let her do it herself and had to take a picture of it when she was done. Not too bad! I did ask her to go check on Sandon and see what he was doing so I could fix it. She never knew.

ECLIPSE

A group of us girls got together for a special early time showing of "Eclipse". It was a package deal with bowling, dinner. shirts. popcorn drinks and movie at 7:30 instead of midnight. It was a lot of fun. Ahhh what us girls do for Edward and Jacob. Thanks Ang for putting this together!!

Piper @ 2 months

My sweet baby is already 2 months old....I can not believe how time flies by and how fast new babies grow. Piper has brought so much happiness into our family and reminds us how precious all of our children are and how sweet and innocent they are. I love being a mother!!! Life is ever changing and right now at this point in my life, things are so much fun :)

Our little ray of sunshine

Daddy & His kids

We went to our city carnival and firework show tonight......After the fun we all came home and watched a movie in the kids room. When I walked in this is what I found. All 3 of the kids smothering Dad. He loves it!

Picnic at the Park

Here are my sun babies having a good time at the splash pad.

Good Mornings

This is what takes place in the morning at our home. Piper wakes the other kids with her cries of hunger and everyone rushes into Mom and Dad's bed for 45 minutes or so. This is when Piper is the happiest and the kids love to talk and play with her so she will give them smiles and coos.

Hair cut DISASTER!!!!!!!

To start this post off, I posted photos of Raleigh with gum in her hair about a month ago. So Wednesday she came down stairs whispering to me that she needed my help. When I asked why she told me she got gum stuck in her hair again. I took her in the kitchen and set her on the table to look at her hair and noticed it was wet. When I took a closer look I noticed she had cut her hair. The left side of her hair above her ear was gone. She didn't want to get in trouble again so she took my cuticle scissors out of the bathroom and tried to cut the gum out herself. She cut her hair alright, but didn't even get any of the gum. I thought I would try peanut butter in the hair....this only led to a body full of hives and a swollen face. I guess when your kid has an allergy to nuts it effects the hair too!! After a lot of reprimanding, dosages of benadryl to get rid of the allergic reaction and crying, we managed to have some laughs when I got the wigs out to try on. SEE BELOW ;)

Raleigh wouldn't try the wigs on at first because she was still upset, but Sandon didn't hesitate and thought it was so funny.

Notice Raleigh's red face and hives around her mouth...good going MOM

My kids have been watching the "Little Rascals" movie and this picture totally reminds us of when Spanky was dressed as a ballerina with the wig on

I will never be a blonde....just not natural on me

Piper's First Sunbathing

The kids and I headed out early this morning to go to the splash pad and have a little picnic and fun in the sun. When we got their, the grass was soaked because they had the sprinklers on. Needless to say we couldn't sit out on the grass and sunbathe or lounge. Piper ended up sleeping in her car seat by a bench, and I had to sit on the bench and read my magazine. Sandon and Raleigh had a good time though and that is all that really matters.

**OTTER POPS**

Sandon and Rals best buds Avery and Luke came over and asked the kids if they wanted to come and sell otter pops with them on the corner. They were so excited standing there yelling to every car and person that came by holding their sign up high. They sold them for .25 and one customer gave them $10. WOW!! They ended up making a lot more money than I ever would have thought. They had quite a few customers and who wouldn't buy from such adorable kids. Thanks for inviting the kids to do this Avery and Luke!!

Mom & Piper

I am never in any pictures with my kids because I am always the photographer. So when Raleigh said she wanted to take a picture of Piper and I, I jumped at the chance.

Notice the top of my head is cut off in this picture and Piper's body is cut off in the photo below....Raleigh needs a little more practice in positioning, but I'll take what I can get ;)

CURLS * CURLS * CURLS

My mom use to put my hair in curlers Saturday night and I would sleep in them and wake up to have beautiful curls for church on Sunday. I decided it was time to let Raleigh try it...It turned out so cute. The lame mom that I am forgot to take pictures of her before we went to church, so when we got home they had fallen a little. Raleigh loved it and I'm sure she will want to do it again next week for church.
