WOW! THINGS HAVE BEEN SUPER CRAZY BUSY! BESIDES ME COOKING A BABY, AND HAVING TO "REST" BECAUSE I'M HAVING EARLY CONTRACTIONS....THE FAM HAS BEEN UP TO A LOT. THINGS LIKE FINISHING THE BATHROOM. SASS 'HELPED' AND BRYTON USED A HAMMER DRILL FOR THE FIRST TIME! WE'VE BEEN CARVING PUMPKINS AND HAVING A SUPER FUN HALLOWEEN. WE'VE BEEN 'BAKING' WITH PLAYDOH. WE'VE BEEN GOING TO THE CABIN AND HAVING A BLAST WITH COUSINS. WE'VE BEEN FINISHING THE BASEMENT(YAY TAFT) AND DOING DANCE SHOWS(PICS TO COME!). WE'VE BEEN FIXING OUR TRAMP AND OUT ROOF BECAUSE THE DANG WIND CAME OUT TO PLAY...WAY TOO ROUGH. WE'VE GONE TO THE FIRE STATION. BRYTON EARNED HIS WOLF IN SCOUTS AND IS NOW A BEAR. THE KIDS ARE DOING GREAT IN SCHOOL AND THEY CAN'T WAIT FOR THE CHRISTMAS BREAK! I AM NOT TOO SURE HOW READY I AM...BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE!

WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO....

THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN UP TO! SWEET ALIZA MAY WILL JOIN OUR FAMILY IN FEBRUARY 2011. WE ARE SO EXCITED. IT WAS PLANNED, AND I AM KICKING MAJOR DIABETES REAR END! WE WERE DONE AFTER AVERY BUT THEN HEAVENLY FATHER CAME KNOCKING AND BOTH MINE AND MATT'S DOORS AND WE COULDN'T IGNORE IT. WE LOVE HER SO MUCH ALREADY AND SO DO THE KIDS. THEY ARE SOOOO EXCITED. OBVIOUSLY I THINK AVERY IS THE MOST EXCITED OUT OF THE KIDS! HERE'S TO ANOTHER FISHER!!

LIFE!!

Life has been busy! My blog is being weird, and it doesn't show the pictures so I can't comment on each. So here's a run down and you'll have to fit it with the pictures! First off, is my newest completed project, a pillow cover for the pillows in my family room. I am quite proud. Then we had Avery's FOURTH birthday! Yes....4...can't believe it! She has the cutest friends ever and they made her day so special. She had a "Tangled" part. She's obsessed. We then had EASTER! They were SO excited to wake up to their baskets! We had to hurry and get dressed for church, so they didn't get a lot of time to look through their goodies. But the Easter Bunny visited while we were at church and the kids went on an egg hunt in the backyard when we got back. They loved it! And...Bentley finally lost a tooth! His two bottom ones are now missing. He was SO excited he could barely contain himself!
The weather is getting better, I love my kiddos, I love my hubby, life is GOOD!!

OUR GOING ONS!

These are a few of our goings on the last couple of months. Sass had a dance show back in December where they did a part of the Nutcracker. It was so stinkin' cute. I posted pictures of that, but ran across this cute picture of Sass and Matt. He brought her flowers. It was so cute. Bryton had his animal habitat fair. He chose to do a tiger and he did a GREAT job! There are some funny pictures I thought Mom and Dad would appreciate. And....I made new pillow case covers for the pillows that go on the couch in the family room. The first one is the most horrible. I got the hang of it after the second!
I got released from YW today. It's a bitter-sweet feeling. I'm going to miss the girls very much, but it will also be nice to be at home with my family on Wednesday night. The new people they called will be awesome.

Love ya'll!

PLEASE MEET TITUS!!

Meet our new baby, Titus! On Saturday, Matt's aunt called and said she'd gotten pressured by her daughters to buy a purebred Chihuahua. She said she got home and realized that she didn't want a dog, and she's never home to take care of a dog. So she called us to see if we wanted him. He is 9 weeks old and he is the sweetest thing ever! He is such a good boy. He has such a fun, cute little personality. Meow just watches him, and if he gets too close she might hiss at him as a warning he's too close, but she doesn't really care about him. We LOVE him!

CHRISTMAS!!

Christmas was so fun this year! Christmas Eve we went to Jamie's and had pizza. I attempted Mom's cookie cake. It was okay...definitely not the same! Then we had the kids open their jammies and they LOVED them! It was so fun seeing the cousins run around so happy together in their Christmas jammies. We didn't get home until about 9:00, which was good...because the kids would've stayed up anyway! Bryton was up ALL night long, and they were up about 7:15. They came running in with their stockings so happy. I love that look on their faces. It makes me remember that I love being a mom! :) We went downstairs and they were in awe. We opened Nana and Papa's presents first and they were so happy. We had a day full of sewing(yes...I got a sewing machine! I'm horrible at it right now, but just you wait!) Wii playing, Lego building, barbie playing, Grandma visit, Grandpa visit, Skype with Nana and Papa......good day!

Just about to open jammies!

Cute cousins playing!

Sweetest baby!

Sassy's Dancy Dance Show!!

Sass had her first Dance show today! It's a little in class show, then at the end of the year they do their big one. They did a little version of The Nutcracker and it was so cute! Sweet Matt showed up with flowers and a Diet Rootbeer for her. She loved it. I think she did maybe 5 steps right. She was too interested in looking at herself in the mirror, and us! It was really sweet. Here are just a few pics to get a taste!
