Fabulous Fall Part 1

Krazy hair Kamby


Smiling Susi


The Fab Five


Kamby is my easiest to take pics of, she always smiles, looks at the camera, and is so happy. She is just so darn cute too!


Susi loves playing outside, she crawls around, plays in the playhouse, drives the cars, and now she even likes the dog.


Graci and Susi swinging


Thad and Kamby learned to swing all by themselves this fall. Thad still needs a little help pumping. But Kamby can do it all by herself.


Sweet Dax


Lunch on the patio. We always joke that we should just build a feeding trough and have everyone line up to eat. We would actually save alot of money if we could collect all the food that hits the ground. But then the dog would not be happy.


My seven are a true blessing!


Silly 7




Kamby can get on the swing and pump all by herself, she is quite proud. Miss K is very indepenent, she says "my turn, my turn" and does not want any help. She figures things out on her own and always succeeds. She is amazing!


Susi's favorite outdoor spot, the sandbox.


Graci playing in the sand with Susi.


Sissy Sanana and Kamby


Thad think he can do the monkey bars just like Dax.


Best friends, brother and sister.


Roasting hot dogs on the fire. At first, Susi was terrified of the fire but then when she saw the purpose, she had so much fun.


My sweet boys! Too bad that when they grow up they will never find a woman good enough for them. I will pray, but they will never find a wife who loves them as much as their mama does! Ha-Ha! (But seriously, they won't) . I heart these sweeties!

In addition to the above fun, Graci and Dax have begun home school kindergarten and are doing great. They are both anxious to learn to read and are working really hard. I can't say they love school, but they love to learn! So I am happy! Thad and Kamby are successfully potty training. They are almost diaper free, give or take naps and bedtime. Susi is doing incredibly well adjusting to her family. She is always happy and having fun. Everything is new and exciting to her, which is so sweet to watch. She is a true blessing and joy to our family! Alyx is well underway to tenth grade and she is interning with the theatre that she performs with. She got her driver's permit in September and is doing great learning to drive. Since most her driving time is with me and all the kids, she is learning to drive with distraction. She will probably be the best teen driver eve
