Sleepy boy

Who needs a bed when there is a perfectly good floor next to mommy! I was on the computer last night and he came in the room while he was brushing his teeth, well he was kind of in his own world talking to himself and such then he was really quiet, I looked over and saw him asleep like this!

P.S. You like my Christmas decorations by his feet...the tree is going up THIS WEEK! yea

And I know that he is skinny...I promise he eats like a horse he just has a lot of energy!!

WE MOVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YEA we are finally done with our house!! It was almost a year from the time we started to the time we finished, not too bad! The last year has been long and hard and terrible to have to leave the kids but we are done and moved in...mostly, we still need to decorate but hey we have the rest of our lives to do that! Here are some pictures...sorry that its a mess but we are still unpacking and stuff so bear with me :) I will post more pictures once it is all decorated! Enjoy!

Owen and Reagans room...I know his blanket isnt very boyish but this is the first time in a big bed (he was in a toddler bed in the last house) so as soon as I am all decorated my first project will be to make him a blanket! I am thinking about decorating this room in camo...pink for Reagans crib and green for Owens bed...Let me know if you have any ideas!

Playing in their room

The living room, dining room, kitchen area. Its so nice to have these rooms all together!

Oppsite view...no we dont have a dining room table, thats on our "to get" list, we have never really had room for a table and have just used the bar to eat at but I would like to get one...

I love the black appliances!

This is our computer room / visiting room, we don't have any couches for it yet so for now its just a computer room! :)

Kids/hall bathroom.

The laundry room

The "big" girls room. This will eventually be pink and light green and flowers and girly stuff :) ...That is a full size bed that they share (it looks like a twin in this picture!)

The master room....I would like this to have a "hunting or outdoors or log cabin" theme. If anyone has any ideas on how to decorated PLEASE let me know! I really need help!

I've been tagged

Well I have been tagged so I need to think of 6 things about me, so here it goes....

1. I have four wonderful children. Bailey, Morgan, Owen and Reagan. I am so thankful for them!

2. I have a wonderful husband, who is the best father in the world! We've been married almost 10 years and we'll be married for 100 more! He is perfect for me!

3. We have spent the last year of our lives building a house. It has been the hardest year but also the most rewarding year of our lives...we should be done in just a few weeks and the kids are so ready for us to be able to spend more time with them!

4. I have a babysitting buisness. Currently I only watch 2 kids, but once we move I will try to get more. :)

5. I am trying to loose weight, I need to loose about 60+ pounds, and I have lost 12 pounds so far. I have been doing the Weight Watchers program, and I love it!!

6. I love to cook but HATE to clean up the mess afterwards. I excited to move to our house where I will have a dishwasher so that will help with the dishes part of cleaning up!!

I know not very exciting but thats the way it goes :)

Fairy Reagan

I was bored waiting for the kids to come home from the town trick or treat so I was taking some pictures of Reagan walking around, sadly my lovely camera was on the wrong setting so some of them turned out blurry...:(
Picking flowers

Run away!!!

Sword fights

Owen didnt know this kid for more than 5 seconds before they were sword fighting!

he can even fight with both eyes shut!

Halloween

Bailey (a punk)

Yea shes 8 going on 18!!!! YIKES!!

Morgan (a sweet princess)

Shes really into the headtilting thing right now!

Owen (the blue TMNT)

He didnt want to pose so this is all I got!

Reagan (a fairy)

She didn't like those wings at all, they made her back heavy so she couldn't walk very well!

All the kids, as you can see Owen did not want his picure taken, he would rather sword fight!

The triplets

Here are more pictures of Reagan, Abi, and Elsie. As you can see Reagan was having a hard time that day. I was off working on the house, she didnt have her afternoon nap, she didnt eat a good lunch and she is getting two new teeth. She just wanted to go home!

"Be strong..."

"why are you doing this to me?"

Pretty in Pink

Sweet babies!

"Why are you guys not crying too?!"

As long as she sat on Rachels lap she seemed to be happy!

Holdaway House Project

The last 10 months of building our own home have been challenging but now we are seeing that it is all going to be worth it! The only things we have left are finish plumbing (putting in sinks, toilets, etc.), carpet, and appliances. We are excited but it still feels like it is going to be a while. We were hoping before Halloween but now we are hoping before Thanksgiving!

Our house!!

It looks sad now but this is our tree a fruitless mulberry. We will prune it in the spring and it will look better!

Our kitchen. That empty spot is were the dishwasher will go.

Another look at our countertops. The sink will go under the window and the stove next to that and then the fridge will go against the wall next to the pantry!
