Have you ever seen cuter kids?

Granted it was slightly difficult to get them all looking at the camera at the same time, let alone smile, but they were adorable as I was trying to take their picture! Anything involving Olivia they are usually happy to oblige. I'm sorry to all the other mothers and fathers out there but I think I just might have the cutest kids on the planet!

My girls

The 3 musketeers!

They are all growing up way too fast and I wish I could just freeze time...usually. Olivia has continued to be a wonderful baby and so great at snuggling! Micah and Hailey say things daily that crack me up. Here are a few of my present favorites...

*One night Micah and I ran an errand together. I needed to stop and get gas and he wanted to get out with me. He looked at the gas pump and said, "Mom, is this diesel?"

*Any time I try and call Hailey my princess she very adamantly states, "No! I'm Daddy's princess!"

*Last weekend we ended up going to Disney On Ice. As soon as we sat in our seats, long before the show even started, Hailey proclaimed, "This is my favorite place!"

*I asked Micah one day if he thought we were done having babies or if he thought we needed more. At first he said we were done but then he said, "Never mind, I think we need 500 more!"

When you forget to push "defrost"...

So the other day I decided to make cookies for my visiting teachees. I was doubling the recipe so I needed to pull some butter out of my freezer. To quicken the softening process I put the butter in the microwave. Well, whether it was lack of sleep or just pure stupidity this is what I found when I opened my microwave. I could have sworn I lowered the power level to 20%!


You don't realize just how much 4 sticks of butter is until it's completely melted in your microwave!

Happy Halloween!

It was a cold and wet Halloween but we still had fun! As Micah said, "We went to 100 houses!" Well, not quite that many but the kids still got more candy than they need...which makes it easy to sneak some for me! I could not believe how excited b0th Micah and Hailey were and they already can't wait until next year!

Olivia bundled up and ready to go! She was perfect, even in the cold! Bless that Baby Bjorn!

For months Micah was adamant about being Spiderman. Hailey...changed her mind every time you asked her! I finally "helped" her decide on Princess Tinana ("Tiana") since we already had the dress!

They had a blast carving pumpkins Friday night. Thanks to Grandpa and Grandma for growing us pumpkins!
