~ Back to the Proctors ~ Summer Fun ~

We went back to the Proctor's today and as you can tell, the Peeps all had a fabulous time! They raced right to the playroom as soon as we walked in the door ~ hehe~ they know where the toys are! Pooh here was content to crawl around the family room... Once outside it was sand, sun, water and more toys....

I just love this one of Chloe...she's just so darned cute!

Brian tells me that these beautiful plants will be pumpkins just in time for Chloe's birthday { which is just inching closer MUCH too quickly..}

Gotta love Jacob.. a hot summer day and there he is with his camo crocs and RED socks..yup, that's our little Pea!

Grandma & Grandpa...Looky here...Brian has HELP cleaning the pool!! { It should be noted that most of what he is cleaning are the toys Jacob threw into the pool! }

Hmm...what is this? After 4 little grandsons, there's not alot of little girl toys there, but I bet that's going to change...hehe { Chloe doesn't seem to care really...if the boys play with it, it must be fun..}

However...please note the PINK shovel { giggle }

To those of you that know me well... look for this picture to show up in MANY places! OMG! CUTE!

and this one of Jacob..... hehhehe....

All he has to do now is learn how to stomp his foot and glance at his watch...{giggle} we were NOT ready to go out when he was....

An amazing and fun filled several hours later we cleaned up the house.. and loaded our tired Peeps back in the car. Grateful that we had the chance to take them out and have some fun on one of Brians breaks. It was a blast and we hope to do it again! Thank you Sarah & Daniel!

PS...in case you are curious..Brandon is with his Dad...on vacation... and I miss him terribly!

~ A day ~ legos,a potty, aan adorable girl, the boys have fun...~ A day ~

Now that she can crawl...Chloe gets into the oddest places....hehe...the little potty.. and then she peeked in on the boys as they played in the tub.... o, this girl...

Wordless Wednesday

We snapped this as Brandon was getting out of the car to go to his Dad's for vacation... I miss him already...

Chloe....on the move

she loves the boys toys....

she always smiles when she see's me and the camera...LOL

I LOVE this picture of her... looks just like her .....so little and so cute!

Chances Are

• Chances Are

This is a little parady of sorts that I stumbled across on www.thisfamilyof4.blogspot.com and it was so cute I just had to run right over and do one for myself!


.....if the freezer is open..Brandon is looking for something to eat............

.......if the regrigerator is open, Ethan and/or Jacob are looking for something....


.....if there are toys all over the floor....Chloe did it... Jacob helps....

.......if Brandon is awake...he is eating, on the computer, or bored....

....if the boys are inside....Ethan wants to be outside........

.....if the boys are inside...it's loud....

......if Chloe is awake....she's crawling all over.....

.....if I am here.. I am cleaning something...

......if I am home all day... I am still in pajamas....

.......if Brian is home....he is about the leave again....

......if I am awake... I am thinking, planning, worrying, taking pictures....learning about ME....

Look who's 9 months old ...

Yes, It's true...Chloe is 9 months old...already... it's really going by so very quickly....I can't get over the days just speeding by...

At 9 months Chloe is

about 14 lbs and 25 inches...

she loves to giggle

she has the brightest eys

she has the biggest and most beautiful smile

she smiles all the time

she eats cereal... doesn't like baby food...loves cheerios,cucumbers and apples

she sleeps all night

she is a pumpkin by 630 and goes to bed then every night..

she sleeps in her crib for naps ~ down the hall

she still sleeps in our room at night

she is loved and cared for but a gaggle of older brothers...

she has just enough hair on the top of her head for me to long for more...

her hair is starting to look more and more like Jacobs...and I love that..

she is paitent...most of the time...

she loves baths and swimming and water in general..

she loves to play with her toys and especially the boys toys...{giggle}

she loves to crawl and goes all over now...she's so little!

she is my Princess...our Pooh and we love her more everyday... we think she is Perfect!

Praying In Orange... for baby Stellan!!

This post is a prayer warrior and support post that is flying around Blogspot and all the Mommy Blogs... this is baby Stellan...almost 9 months old....he is severely ILL and needs PRAYERS from all of us. Go to this site to read more about his amazing and beautiful story... http://www.mycharmingkids.net/ I have been following Stellans journey for awhile now and have nothing but respect for him Mommy... she handles this all with grace and literally holds nothing back on her posts.. they are laced with the hard and funny truth that only another mother can see... Stellan got terribly sick late last week and had to be readmitted to the hospital. He has been in SVT for DAYS.. and was getting worse.... he will be airlifted to Boston sometime in the next hours to seek the care of world renound physicains. Please read his story and lift this beautiful baby and his family in prayer as you go about your day today.
As some of you know... I am an AGGIE... and as such, the color orange really only exists in my house for Halloween.. I saw the McLinky and for this and had to throw in my orange for support of baby Stellan. This is one of my all time favorite photos and it always makes me SMILE.. I am praying for BEAUTIFUL Halloween pictures of a HEALTHY Stellan this year!!

A fun weekend by all accounts...

It's been a quiet weekend... a long one we all needed... It didn't seem like we did that much { after the pool the other day } but then I looked thru the pictures... and we did get to quite a bit... this could explain why I am still so darned tired! It would of course have nothing to do with those two little boys... the teenager...the Princess... NO... it must be the... um...help me here.... the HUSBAND.. hehe.. or the laundry... whatever it is.. we hope you had a great weekend as well and an even better week!! I love this age...a plastic yogurt container keeps them happy for how long?
Brandon and the boys color...played with a little play doh.. and tried to crawl ON the table...


Chloe... with her new found freedom in crawling has been found in some very interesting places...hehe
She cracks herself up...{giggle}


To beat the heat, we emptied the Turtle Sand box, washed it out, filled it with a little water and placed it under the canopy on the back porch...the boys had a blast! Chloe had a blast watching... hehe { we had gone actually swimming just the day before and this was literally right before dinner so we didn't want to do the whole pool thing..}


Jacob fell down on a walk this morning and scraped himself up good... he is fine and I swear.. we all think the scrape on his nose is really kinda cute...in a Jacob way {giggle}
Look who isn't napping?!
