46

That’s the number of pictures I took of Sydney today, I think I’m addicted to her.

Here are a few of them…

Clayton’s phone

This is when I wish Clayton had a nicer phone, for better quality pictures. I love seeing the photos he takes- 1st time ice skating (I guess he fell a lot) & a pile of fish he caught with friends.

quotes I like-

little Rose

I came home to find Sydney asleep in Laun’s arms, sucking her thumb. I think her little hands and red hair are the cutest. And I love when baby’s suck their thumbs, both my girls have.

these sisters

On the soccer carpool rounds and while waiting for practice to be over, I caught some precious sister moments. Marlee’s been waiting 7 years for a sister and Sydney was worth the wait!

cute babies

I adore these little babies of mine.

Sydney looks so sweet in her sleep. Her soft little hands and her binky in mouth.

Carter lining up all his animals on the iPad. It’s the age where (almost) everything they do is so sweet and cute.

Batman & FHE

Carter has an obsession with Batman and Halloween. He talks about both things on a daily basis, so why not combine his loves and get him a Batman costume for Halloween?! I took him to Sam’s Club today and he was so excited to get his costume. I let him try it on today and he loved it. He’s convinced he’s a superhero. He would say, “I’m not Carter, I’m Batman!” Worth the $20 right there. In fact, he prays about Halloween on a daily basis, so I decided to put his surgery off until after Halloween, so he can truly enjoy the holiday.

I don’t think he even knew what a super hero was until he got his foot braces which had superman on them. And ever since then, he’s been hooked, but likes batman the most.

For FHE we got outside. We had a fire, little Caesars pizza and rode a 4 wheeler (we’ve got to get one of our own someday).

Got to get outside while we can, it’s getting colder, there’s snow on the mountains.

pizza & pop

I love how Marlee was helping Carter get his helmet on.

I think it’s pretty safe to say we adore this girl.

I feel a little emotional looking at this picture of my first & last. How did the time go by so fast? I did it, I’m a mother of 6!

4 wheeling & rabbit hunting

Fun family night!

Pictures of my kiddos together always make me miss Cooper. I’d love to see all my kids together and know what Cooper would look like and be like.

find the joy

Sometimes I struggle to be positive, especially on Sunday mornings. If I’d get up earlier and be ready before the kids woke, it would probably make trying to get to church on time less stressful.

As you can tell, Laun is much better at finding the joy on Sunday mornings than I am…

I love how he’s letting Porter do his hair.

I was such a rush this morning, I didn’t even realize until we all sat down at church, that all of us girls happen to be in blue and polka dots!

Carter is certain he needs to be in every picture and I don’t mind a bit.

Sydney is certain that her mom is obsessed with taking her picture.

Marlee lost a front tooth!
