Things have been busy around here. Keeping up with three kids and a dog is def. a job~one that I enjoy!! The kids have been doing GREAT. We went to Odon for Thanksgiving and spent it with both sides of the family. We split the day in half~ first half my mom's, second half Jesse's parents. We got back home around 830 ish, and we were all EXHAUSTED!!
Jesse hung up our outside Christmas lights over the weekend~ the kids were excited!! Oh and on Friday night we took the kids for some hot chocolate and drove through Martinsville Park to see all the Christmas Lights. They loved it!!
Over the weekend the kids enjoyed playing outside with some of the neighbor kids. We also watched several movie together like "Are we there yet" and "Are we done yet" ~lots of laughs:)

And now it is Monday.......... I am not sure why I dread Mondays most of the time. I think it is just that I now I have so much to get done through the week and well Monday starts it so.... Jesse goes on call this week so it will be an interesting week. Hope you are all doing great and have a nice week.

Over the weekend...

Last weekend~ Jesse, Bodie, April (sil) and I went shopping in Edinburgh at the Outlet Malls. We had lots of fun laughing, and shopping all those sales:) It was def. a trip though with a newborn. I had to stop lots to feed and change diapers but he did really good!! I was glad that I had two awesome helpers though!! Anyways it did feel good to get out of the house and shop!!
The kids had fun at Mamaw and Papaw's. They rode the pony (Calli) and did all sorts of fun stuff.

Royal Treatment

Austin and Hailee are loving Bodie so much! They are great big brother and sister to him, and have helped me out alot. Things have been going good around our house. Here are my three kiddo's.
Bodie enjoys sitting in the highchair and watching the kids/me. Of course it is laid back, but he still loves it! Here is the big boy in his highchair!

Austin is growing up so much. I can't believe next month he will turn 10. Wow!

Yesterday Hailee and I had hair appt. I was so glad to get my hair cut, but even more excited was Miss Hailee Brooke. She loves going in to the beauty shop and always recieves the ROYAL TREATMENT!! Here are a few pics of our princess getting her hair done:)

She loves when Jessica washes her hair:)

All finished and cute as can be!!

Cookie Time

Hailee is a BIG helper, and loves to help do all kinds of things. She loves to help clean, give Bodie baths, fold clothes, and bake!! The other night she helped me bake some YUMMY cookies, and she made sure she was the first to taste them too:)

Catching Up

Over the weekend the kids went to Mamaw and Papaw (Hillbilly's) Swartzentruber's. They had a blast from the stories told, but were so wore out!! Lots of playing, laughing, and quality time with gparents and cousins!!
Jesse, Bodie, and I didn't do much while they were gone. I don't think we even really left the house. It was def. quiet around here and I could tell Bodie missed them. He always wants to know where they are and looks around for them lots!

On Monday, we had homeschool group. We celebrated a few birthdays, and did some crafts. The kids had fun playing with other kids. Other than that we haven't done to much. Well other than the everyday things... This coming weekend Jesse, April (sil) and I are heading to edinburgh to do some Christmas shopping!! I am looking forward to the great deals and using my COUPONS!! Bill and Cindy are going to watch the kids on Saturday while we go. This is a tradition!! We do this every year usually the weekend before Thanksgiving~ due to Kevin(brother in law) being gone to deer camp. We always have fun and have lots of laughs:)
Hope you all have a great week!
