Orangutan Hair?

Do they look alike?

Jason and I have decided that Sadie has baby Orangutan hair. What do you think?

Another Crazy remodel

Jason and I have been discussing opening the wall between the kitchen and living room for quite a while. I would always say to Jason how nice it would be to be able to move around in the kitchen. I had talk to him about is so much and I thought he would never do it so I just gave up talking about it. Well all of the sudden her starts talking about getting it done soon. So here we are with some pictures.
Will is a big helper and so Jason gave him a hammer and let him bang on the wall. I am not sure that was a good thing because now he thinks he can hammer all the walls.
Any way the wall came down pretty easily and I am loving it. This picture above shows how crazy this house is. We had 3 layers of sheet rock on the walls. Jason joked that we increase the square footage of our house little by little with each remodel because of all the sheet rock we take off the walls. He may be right.
So now the wall is open. I am really loving it already. Of course now we have the finish work to do and that will start tomorrow. Come by anytime to experience the new openness of my house.

Who needs Milk!

So I am sitting on the couch feeding Sadie. I realized I hadn't seen Will for a little while so I just holler "Will" He answers from the kitchen "what" I ask what are you doing? No comment from the kitchen. Hmmmm! This could be scary. I send Corinne to see what he was up to and all she can say is "whoa! I am glad I already had some chocolate milk." 

William thinks Nesquik is delicious right out of the tub.

Going Private

I have decided to go private with my blog. If you would like to be invited to view my blog please leave your email address and I will let you know when I go private and you will still be able to view my blog.

Happy 12th Birthday Whitney

Today is Whitney's 12th birthday. My sweet wonderful Whitney is growing older and that is scary. Whitney is my best helper and such a sweet heart. We had a fun party for Whitney on Sat. All her girl friends came over and we made cards, played with jewelry and had a yummy chocolate fountain. Whit is my angel and I love her to pieces. I will put pictures of her as soon as I clean the Will finger prints off my camera lens. 

My mom always cursed me with a daughter just like me and Whitney is it and I love it. We went shopping at Ross tonight. She was so cute trying on clothes and then she used her own birthday money to buy them. She got 3 shirts and a pair of jeans for $35. That is my kind of shopping.

Ben's Poem

This was one of Ben's assignments in his english class. He had to write a poem.  I love how he feels about his little brother. I don't know if I am just slightly emotional right now but it made me cry.

Sadie is 2 Weeks!

Can you believe how time flies? I can hardly believe Sadie is 2 weeks old today. She still sleeps all the time so I haven't gotten any pictures of her awake. She is a great baby. I am still trying to adjust to having 5 kids but I think we are doing well. 

Sadie went for her hearing test today because she didn't pass the one when she was born. My kids have all had that problem so I wasn't concerned. She passed with flying colors. The lady who did her test just kept saying over and over how beautiful she was. I would certainly agree. I told her that is why we have 5! 

I hope to get some good pictures this weekend and send out birth announcements. And I will post some to the blog.

Post-Partum Insanity (Halloween Fun)

I decided to have a little cousin fun here on Halloween. Yes I have a 1 week old so Marianne called it post-partum insanity. She may be right but we had a lot of fun. We had all the cousins that could come over and we decorated trick or treat bags and halloween cookies. We had lots of fun and lots of mess. 

Corinne thanked me before the party saying she would pull her hair up for the day. Amazing, it never really happened but that was her way of saying thanks. We had 14 kids at our house and we had a lot of fun. I really wanted to do something but didn't want the pressure of people over. That's when I thought of family. They don't care if your house is clean or if you have to stop everything to feed a baby. They just keep on playing. It was a lot of fun.

Here are my kids in their Halloween costumes. We were in a really big hurry so this is all I got of them. Whitney is a flapper girl, Sadie a kitty, Corinne a witch and William was Super Why. You may wonder where Ben is in all this. With him being 14 he doesn't trick or treat anymore. He stayed home and handed out candy. I think he enjoyed being home. Then Will came and shared all his candy with Ben. It was great fun.
