Happy Thanksgiving



Much luv to you GGpa Heins!
Kennie, you're beautiful, even hiding behind the camera. Dad, you look in your element.
Things I am thankful for this year:
1. All my kids have remained healthy.
2. Being able to stay home with my kiddos.
3. A loving hubby who adores kids as much as me and doesn't mind the chaos of having 5 kids under the age 4 in our home!
4. Our supportive families who continue to amaze us every day with their ability to help us, love our kids, and truly support our lifestyle.
We love you all and can't thank you enough for helping us, and supporting our lifestyle choices. You mean so much to us, and we couldn't imagine our lives without you.

CHUBBY CHUBBY sweet baby girl!


I seriously have the cutest baby girl in the world!

It's sooo frustrating when I finally find my memory stick, and have lots of great photos and stories to share, and my dog-gone memory stick won't upload pictures to the computer. I finally made time to update the blog, add pictures etc, and go figure!

Lost again

Saturday the boys and I went out and raked leaves for them to jump in. Okay I raked, they jumped, but anyway, got me thinking about taking some pictures. Guess what, lost my memory card AGAIN. I'm not sure which I hate loosing more, my memory card or my debit card. While I was preggers with Cecilia, I lost my debit card 4 times. It was a huge pain in the butt, however, not being able to record footage of the kids buried in leaves, throwing them in the air, jumping out to "surprise" me...I think I miss the memory card even more!

School Conferences

We had conferences for Ryan and Jazmin today, and both received excellent reports. Both are active participants, eager to learn, and get along well with others. However, both were reported to have short attention spans, guess we'll have to work on....oooh something shiny! what was I saying? Oh, yeah, got to work on their attention spans. :)

Nope, not preggers!

This last Thursday we took placement of an adorable little 2 year old. We're not sure how long she'll be with us, but we'll do our best to love her til she leaves. The count now, is 2 adults, 5 kids and 2 dogs. No we're not crazy, we just have lots of love to share.

Cecilia's in the highchair

Little miss is going to be 6 months old in 2 days. I can't hardly believe that, it's flown by so fast. I feel very blessed to be able to spend my days raising our kids. Some days I wish I still worked outside the home, but most days, I'm just happy to be with my family. Cecilia has graduated to the highchair. She refuses to sit back in her bouncy seat, so we pulled the highchair out of the attic and tried it out. She loves it. She can sit up and join us for meals, play with toys, and I can recline it and she can drink from her sippy cup....a task we're still working on (since she refuses to take a bottle). This evening I don't know how she did it, but she managed to get more juice on her onsie than in her mouth, thank God for oxyclean!

Happy Halloween

Taking a "cat nap".
Super excited to go trick or treating, Ryan missed his nap.

Little Lady bug, Scooby Doo, Miss Kitty, and Jake the Pirate!

Cats and dogs DO get along.

Tell me he's not the cutest pirate you've ever seen!
