just for fun

can't believe cheech is almost 4 months old

i love these pics of her, i stare at them often!





this is the one i used for her announcement



LOVE her! she is my best pal

around here lately

-i love, love, love FALL

-it has been ridiculously warm and cozy here (sunny, blue skies and 60's)

-we have been out soaking up every last drop because once winter hits, i am going to be one depressed momma (i cannot stand being indoors)

-the boy's are killing me...i love them and they are so much fun but boy have they learned to really beat on each other. i honestly let them duke it out and then they are done with it.

-nolan is talking up a storm. putting little sentences together finally. yay!

-magz is....oh man, i love her. i love her for her, of course, but i love her for being my chill, laid back little momma. she is still girly though. she scares easily and pokes her bottom lip out about a foot when she isn't happy. i am eating her up every minute of every day.

-that being said...i am going to have to do some serious soul-searching about the decision to have another baby, or just be done. once you have 3 it sort of puts you at a crossroads, am i right? (there is so much more to it, i could do a whole blog post about it)

-i feel bad but i am slightly sick of nursing. but now she is getting to the stage of looking up at me and smiling while she nurses. love that. tried giving her a bottle the other day and she was PO'ed. i guess that's that.

-super excited for the holidays but i have no idea what i want for christmas and no clue what to get the kids. caca.

happy november everyone!

* i am so behind on the "happenings" around here.

halloween

or as nolan calls it: ween's




griff is OBSESSED with halloween

he is pretty crazy about almost every holiday but halloween takes the cake

we did a lot of fun hallween things leading up to the big day so griff was pretty darn happy

we went to mema and pepa's for halloween night and started by carving pumpkins, griff chose the designs

we had yummy soup and mummy hot dogs and then set out to hit up a few houses

the boy's did SO good!

griff was a tiny bit shy but nolan wasn't shy one bit!

griff was a nascar driver, nolan was a pit crew guy and sweet magz was a little ladybug

sweet sweet girl

just chi chi and i tonight and i am loving every minute of it.

boy's are off to kanab with daddio.

with 2 wild boy's to take care of (and no hubby to help and give relief) i feel like i give her nothing sometimes.

totally bums me out.

hoping she is getting all that she needs because i love her so so much!

three months

talking a ton

smiling a ton

bats at the toy's in her bouncy seat

lays in her crib and laughs and talks at her mobile

sleeps so good at night (hallelujah! nolan takes care of the night waking for her)

sometimes hardly naps at all and sometimes naps for suuuuper long stretches

loves the bath

99% in height (still!)

and dropped to 76% in weight (from 99%)

size 3 dipes, big ol' girl!

maggie you are the sweetest thing! we all love you so so much!

we all love squeezing your chubby thighs and kissing your fat cheeks

can't get over how much you look like daddy!

happy 3 months baby girl!


mini-kason, right? the eyebrows, the dark hair, the ears, the nose, the body! love it!

side note: my friends little daughter told me that chi chi means boobs in spanish. ha. really? does it?!

four

i really can't believe i have a FOUR year old!

happy birthday, griff.

we love you so very much!
