Sometime you just have to....

When you have one of those days that the dog steals the bagels, the boys bless you with extra loads of bed sheets to launder, toys everywhere, makeshift outhouses in the backyard, dumped buckets of rocks on the dining room table/floor, etc.....and then when the baby steals the oreo cookie from her brother.......well, you just grab the camera and shoot away instead of attempting to take it away.

She only liked the chocolate cookie part and as soon as she got to the white filling part, she threw, (no exageration) the cookie and immediatly broke out into a screaming fit.



On a side note, for anyone that really knows these brothers of hers.... Prestyn was mortified at the mess she was making and Braedyn was gagging.

6months old

The Princess is 6months old! Where did the time go?
Here are her stats from her 6month check-up: 15lbs 4oz (25%) and 25inches (25%)
Just a little thing. Taking after Braedyn for the most part. She is wearing 3-6month clothes and still has room to grow in the majority of them.
She is attempting to sit up on her own but gets distracted by her feet, attempts to get them in her mouth and topples right over. She rolled over, front to back, for the first time at her appointment. Possibly just a fluke because she hasnt done it again since then. She absolutely adores her big brothers. They are constantly pulling her around in the walker ( I know they are unsafe, but our basement stairs have a door) or her bouncy chair so she can be where they are. She has no desire to eat baby cereal or baby food, but LOVES mashed potatoes and these awesome organic baby bisquits I found at Whole Foods....they are the least messy thing I have ever found so I tell everyone with babies about them. She also loves to chew on carrots. No teeth yet, but the cold carrots feel great on her teething gums.

Denver Zoo

I (bravely) decided to take the kids to the Denver Zoo FREE Admission Day...ALONE! The weather was pretty nice, mid 50's and the kids were well behaved. phew!

Braedyn could sit and watch the sea lions all day if I would let him. We stood here for about 20min watching them before Adalyn decided she was tired of them. Of course, about 10min after we left, they did a sea lion show. We would have had a front row seat if we would have stuck around.

The boys tried the Polar bear exhibit out for size.


Adalyn's favorite animal......

The Zebras...and how cute is that baby zebra?!?!

And finally an unsuccessful attempt at 3 kids in one picture.

Shes not mine...

but she is pretty stinkin' C.U.T.E.!!!

and there's a good posibility that, (based on the first 5 months of Adalyn's life), Adalyn might look a lot like this in about 15months.

Braedyn

5 YEARS OLD!!!

on a side note....Adalyn definitly takes after Braedyn.

Its the little things...

Harley was sticky from a dumdum lollie pop. Prestyn refused to smile. Adalyn actually let someone else, and a stranger for that fact, hold her. Braedyn looked at the camera....

we got 4 kids under the age of 5 to sit on Santas lap/chair...but most importantly...

NOONE CRIED!

Prestyn is....

THREE!

and what better way to celebrate than with a Halloween Costume Birthday Party for him and his cousin MacKenzie who turns 6 on the 29th.
