Someone pinned this on Pinterest last night, and if I'm being honest, it made me all teary eyed. 

Gosh. I just want to do it right. I want to be the kind of mom that when they grow up, they will say that there are so many things they learned from me, & things they loved about growing up & that they loved their childhood. 

I'm so thankful for the opportunity to be their mother.

 God loves and trusts me enough to send me these most amazing gifts.

I just want to do right by them. 

That's all.

Always a good reason to set some new goals! 

 The kids cook with me every day. Trey can crack an egg perfectly! 

 Lot's of baths around these parts. My kids love the water! 

Joslynn is 6 months already. How is that even possible?

 My Babies on Valentine's day! 

 Swayzee is potty trained, and loves running around naked! 

 Joslynn's first ponytail

Mykelle is losing her teeth left and right.

I think Joslynn looks just like her daddy! 

 My hair is getting so long again. It sure is a lot of work when it is long, but I really love all the fun things I can do with it! 

 I've been running again with the kids in tow, and she is just a delight when she is in the stroller. She loves it.

 Trey is such a fun kid to be with. I'm going to be so sad when he isn't around all day! 

 Jackie and I went to Globetrotters last week, and we had a blast with the girls! 

 Dinner with the Hunters

 Joslynn is crawling, and almost sitting up!

Catching Up

As you may have noticed, I am way behind on this blogging business. Let's start way back in October when I had a 2 month old. She was very spoiled by her siblings. They loved to hold her and cuddle her.

This is when Swayzee had burnt her hand. Poor little thing. We bought her Elmo jammies. She loves Elmo.

Headed off to another Doctor's appointment in her Halloween outfit. My friend Stacie made her this adorable skirt.I think she is pretty adorable.

Trey and Mykelle love their little sister's so much. Mykelle is so helpful! I honestly couldn't imagine having 4 kids without her help sometimes. When I have my hands busy with Joss, Mykelle will get Swayz off of whatever she has climbed up on!

We all hang out while Mykelle is at School!

These were some of Joslynn's first smiles! (This was in October) Since this, she is quite the smiley little thing. She is one happy baby!

Bunko in October happened, and was quite fun! Stacie hosted a  "Something you wouldn't be caught dead in!" theme.

Candice thought she was sooo funny! Ha. Ha. Hurry up and have some kids already, Candice.

The babies in their matching jammies!

My cuties at the Pumpkin patch!

Another pumpkin patch with Cousins.

It even had a petting zoo.

Swayzee loves animals, just like Mykelle. What am I in for? 

Trey, Mykelle, and one of their favorite cousins Alliyah.

Poor Trey. There are never any boys around. Ha Ha.

Two of my favorite siser in laws. Dawn, and Samantha.

I can't get enough of Swayzee Brynn.

Halloween Party at Grandma Sharie's House! 

Aren't they both beautiful!?

 Before trunk or treating on Halloween. I think Swayzee had her fair share of candy.

 For the real trick or treating, we went to Mike and Jackie's for all the fun! It was a blast, and I almost peed my pants when some guy with a chain saw chased me down.

 Trey came up with this pose by himself. What a stud!

Swayzee loves scary stuff. Her first Halloween experience was so fun.

 Love him.

 Scary faces!

 annnndddddddd...... she's out.

 It snowed at some point in the last 2 months, and the kids loved it! Swayzee played outside for about 1 hour!

 We had a great time!

 Bunko in November was hosted by Ailee, and it was a pajama party! She made delicious food!

 Mykelle is losing teeth like crazy! We call her toothless around here!

 Mykelle talkingto Jossy girl!

 Seriously. She's cute! I know, I know. I brag about my kids a lot, but I can't help it. They are so adorable!
