Turkeys

Here's my little 2 month old turkey...

Where's the food?

A little grin.


And here is my first real turkey...

This is my 90 year old Papa and his 11 great-grandchildren, ranging in age from 2 months to 19 years.

Nate Update and Happy T-DAY

Quick update on the 2 month appointment...in case I don't get to doing the real thing anytime soon....

Nathan weighed in at 16 pounds 4 ounces BUT, that was with a heavy wet diaper and fully dressed! So, I'm guessing he's around 16 pounds or so.

His shots went fine...he only screamed briefly. And seemed to not feel great the rest of the day. He's back to feeling good now though.

I still haven't gotten his two month picture taken, but hopefully that can happen today!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL! We do have so much to be thankful for!!

The Cute Couple

So, I've really not held up my end of the bargain with the big boy posts. I do still need to get one done for Josh. Tomorrow I will probably be doing a Nathan post though, if I can get to it, because he will be 2 months and is having his checkup/shots.

In the meantime, I thought I'd share this photo of Craig and me. It was taken on Saturday so it's actually current. Hopefully, I'll be back tomorrow!!

Guess Who's 5 Today!

ANDREW DAVID!!! That's Who!

HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY ADORABLE BOY!

WE LOVE YOU BUNCHES!


The highly anticipated Screamin' Banshee!

Tractor Tipping Game (We never tire of CARS at the O house!)

All About Andrew

I thought I would do a post for each of the big boys, since so many have been all Nathan these days! Today is Andrew's day....

Andrew has a birthday coming up. He will be 5 years old on the 21st, so this may be part of his birthday post, since I will likely be very busy the next couple of weeks.

Andrew is such a sweet kid! I love seeing all his different sides. He has a tenderhearted cuddly side and a crazy squirrel side, and then there is the dancing singer and comedian!

Andrew always keeps us laughing. I so wish that I was better about writing down the funny things said around here. Of course I can't think of one good example right now!

One of the things that has blessed my heart lately is hearing Andrew sing along to the songs on our Christian radio station. One of his latest is a line from a Toby Mac song "I don't want to gain the whole world and lose my soul!"

And then today we were listening to a CD we have. It's actually a kid's CD of music that won't drive a parent crazy. No kidding, that's even what it says on the cover. (Something to that effect anyway..) There is a song on it called The Mom Song and one line is "If you work all day, but you never get paid....You're a MOM!" Andrew can actually sing the whole chorus and it's really cute.

Frugal Mommy

My philosophy....don't turn on the heat until layered clothing and hot chocolate no longer make a difference! (Don't worry, I won't let my babies freeze to death. I'm not quite that insane, although Craig may think differently! :)

Don't miss the post below!

The Three Amigos

Hello All!

I've been snapping away lately...particularly the big boys. I may share some in a series of different posts, but I can't promise they will all be tonight. I thought I would start with these because I think they are just too cute!

Sweet Brothers


Little Daddies


Nathan is getting SO big! He's finally beginning to give us a few grins, which is fun.

Go VOTE

I don't know this kid...but he's pretty cute!

YAY!!

After taking a few new pictures and getting ready to post them, I found the pictures I had lost. For some reason they are not in my Kodak program, but are still on the computer. I found them by accident, but am so glad I did. Now we don't have to re-do Halloween!

So, here are pictures both from Halloween and from today. I hope you enjoy looking at these beautiful faces as much as I do! Well, okay...I'm their Mother, and most of you have your own kids you love looking at....but you've got to admit they ARE cute! If I do say so myself!

"Barry Bee"


"Private 1st Class Josh"


"Buddies" (Look how tall Josh is! They are 2 and a half years apart.)

"Dimple Face"

"Green-eyed Monster"

"Bald Baby Lovin'"

"Happy Baby" (Didn't catch those eyes open, but can't resist the dimples and chubby thighs!)

*Sniff Sniff* Boo HOO

Would you believe? I had all kinds of pictures to share and somehow...I lost them all!? They are gone...not in the camera, not on the computer. I think I must have ended something before it was complete. I'm so frustrated and sad about it. The good news is...it wasn't anything so terribly hard to re-create. But there were some really cute ones on there! Waaahhh.....

I had pictures of Andrew in his Bee costume...too cute. And Josh looking handsome in some of Daddy's Marine gear. Plus, some of Nathan tonight showing off his chubby little thighs. I even got him almost smiling and with eyes open! You can at least see some dimples. Or at least...you could...before I lost it. He has grown and changed so much. He's getting more alert and wanting to be up more. I can tell he's going to have quite a little personality!

Thankfully, I did NOT lose his one month pics, taken a week ago today. I'm SO glad I didn't have those on there too! He wasn't wanting to wake up for them, so most of them are of him sleeping. Maybe tomorrow I can work on gaining back the pictures I lost. In the meantime...here's our little pumpkin head at exactly one month old.

And our first picture of me and my boys...
