More of what's on my phone...

I'm almost caught up!  Well, until tomorrow. I have a few other videos and special events to post from my phone, but I think they deserve their own post.

These are of my child (errr children) playing with my phone at Target.

Addy modeling her new owl pj's from Jana, Aaron and Ellie as well as her love of the remote. Aren't these jammies the cutest?
Photobucket
So sad :( Addy getting her allergy test. She is allergic to milk and eggs, but will likely outgrow them.  She is also allergic to peanuts and cashews, which are quite severe at this point. :(  Booooo
Photobucket
Her poor back.
Photobucket
My mom had surgery at the beginning of August and Addy and I went and visited her and Papa at the hospital.
Photobucket
My children Looooooove the bathtub. :D
Photobucket
Sometime mid-August Liam drew this little guy and named him. I thought it was a GREAT drawing and a very original name.
Photobucket
This is Liam during his kindergarten evaluation. The night before his eval he got the stomach flu. He cried and cried because he really wanted to meet his teacher. He had gone 2 hours without throwing up, so we went.  He threw up about 30 minutes after it was over. Poor baby. He did awesome, though and his teacher, Mrs. Butler, is great.

This is a photo I snapped in the middle of nowhere Nevada waiting for Antelope to come and water so I could hopefully get one. Unfortunately, I wasn't patient enough and the antelope were too fast for me.  I did wait under this tree for about 2 hours.
Photobucket
Addy loves pushing her babies in her stroller.
Photobucket
Liam decided he was going to help his sister and gave her 'some cheerios because she likes them so much'
Photobucket
I just love a sleeping baby :)
Photobucket 
Me and Addy shopping away while Brother was at school. I just love her in piggies. :D

We finally got a pumpkin in our garden!! It's orange now and harvested- sitting on our front porch.
Photobucket
Think the tights are big enough? Wes thought she should just go like this to church. lol.
Photobucket
Since Liam has started school, he's been very into writing and rules and cutting and pasting, etc, etc, etc.  I've had to put a limit on the amount of paper he uses. lol.  These were rules he made for our bathroom one day.  For some reason he spelled 'sink' 'sech'.  But, can you tell they had a problem with kids pooping in the sink at school? ewwww.  Regardless these made me laugh. :D

What's on my phone?

It's been far too long since I've done one of these, which means I have a LOT to post. :D

These start with Liam's birthday.  Here he is playing with his awesome Angry Birds game.
Photobucket
A friend of ours sent us a "Flat Ellie" (similar to the Flat Stanley books) and we took a picture on one of our evening walks with her.
Photobucket
I've been collecting old pictures for a photo collage wall that I wanted to do.  I finally got it done and am soooo happy with the results. We have lots of old family pictures. It's so fun and everyone loves seeing it.
Photobucket
In July Addy figured out how to climb stairs. :D
Photobucket
I made some delicious roasted beet raviolis for dinner one night from scratch. They were a lot of work, but definitely were delicious.
Photobucket

I've been addicted to pinterest and have had a lot of fun making crafts from ideas on there. I loved this initial wreath and did my own spin on it for our house. I'm very happy with it.
Photobucket
Addy just being cute and 'helping' me fold clothes.
Photobucket
Me and my babies snuggling before bed.

Addy speaking parseltongue. Harry Potter fans will get it.  Scroll down and pause the music to hear video.


This was in August, right before our trip. Addy learned to say Bye Bye.


This is from our trip to Washington at the beginning of August. We had such a relaxing afternoon at the beach.
Photobucket

Addy enjoys texting her friends on the way to the beach. ;)

The girls did enjoy our trip to JoAnns even if they don't look like it.

Wes and I at his10 year reunion.
Photobucket

Adelyn on her first airplane ride because she screamed the entire drive to Washington.  We decided we couldn't handle another 12 hours of non-stop screaming, so we found some cheap tickets and Addy and I flew home. She loved flying. ;)  Little Stinker.
Photobucket

You know I can't get enough of thumb sucking photos. What a sweetie.

Goofy Girl

The other night Addy was being a total ham bone and goof ball. I snapped some photos just because she was making us laugh so hard with her silly little antics. :) We sure love this girl.

Bike!

A few months back we found some bikes at a yard sale and got them for Liam. They needed some fixing up and an addition of some training wheels (for now), so one afternoon Liam and Daddy got out the tools and went to the hardware store to fix one up.  They did a great job and Liam has a lot of fun learning to ride his big bike.  Pretty soon we'll ditch the training wheels and go for the big bang.  I wish I had some photos of him riding, but for some reason I don't. :(  I need to take some on one of our evening walks.

A Hideout

This past weekend we moved Addy from her infant carrier into a new convertible car seat.  That means that we had a nice large box from our car seat purchase. Liam immediately called dibs on the box and created a nice little house that he dubbed his 'hideout.'  He drew windows and had me cut them out and then he decorated it with lots of his awesome drawings.  He tried his hardest to get his sister to join him in the hideout but she wasn't going to be any part of it!  :)

He ended up taking it to his room and setting up his sleeping bag inside and sleeping in it all weekend.  :)  This little adventure reminded me of making big boxes into houses when I was a kid.  I think I had just as much fun as Liam with this little project.

First Homework

Liam's teacher has started sending home weekly homework packets. Liam thinks this is the greatest thing. I had to take his picture doing his first homework assignments.  He gets the new packets every Friday and is up and working on them Saturday morning. I hope his enthusiasm continues.  His desk that his daddy refinished for him is the perfect homework desk.  :)
