Table

Here is a picture of our dinning room table I promised :)

Thanksgiving :)

This year was the first year we (as in Colin, Me and the girls) got to have our very own Thanksgiving Dinner. I was actually kind of nervous. We ended up inviting my sister and her family over because we werent going to see them at all on Thanksgiving Day. We had it on the night before Thanksgiving. It was a lot of fun. The kids had a BLAST in the playroom and it got totally destroyed which I have come to expect now. And we had good company! I cooked it all by myself except the turkey which Colin fried :) It was AWESOME by the way! My man is such a good cook. I made some sweet potato casserole, rice dressing, Paula Deans Cornbread dressing, gravy, green bean casserole, and a cheesecake. All from scratch :) I was super proud! And I honestly loved every minute of it. Being in the kitchen all day then family over at night. Maybe my sister and I will make this a regular tradition. I am definitely looking forward to next year!

New House :)

Yep thats right! We are in our new "Monster" house!! As the girls call it. We ended up painting the Master bedroom, the big girls room, Abbys room, and the girls Bathroom. I left the living, dining and Kitchen alone because that was a LOT to paint! LOL! Although we do have the paint already! HA! But all is great here! The girls LOVE the house! And so do my doggies! They love to be outside! And they espeically love the big hill! My camera is dead right now so I will have to post some updated pictures later :) We got an awesome table for the breakfast area! I LOVE IT! It fits WONDERFULLY in the area and the color is great! We ended up getting it from World Market! (My new favorite store LOL) I dont have a picture of it yet but here is the link to it! http://www.worldmarket.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3557631 that is the link just to the table but it has a picture of it all. We have the 4 chairs and large bench! Fits our family Perfect!!! We have my sister and her family (boyfriend plus 3 kiddos!) And we all fit wonderfully at it! I am sooo excited! It was the first piece we bought for the house! I am going to get some kind of green cushions for the seats.
We do not have a bed for us or the big girls yet. Big girls will get theirs when Colin comes back in January so he can put it together. I dont want nothing to do with that! HA! Our bedrooms set will wait a little while because we want a super nice one that will last us a lifetime! LOL! Hopefully! And our Formal Dining room set will be even longer! LOL! But I dont mind at all because the I know I will get the one I REALLY want and not just have to settle for something because I think I have to have it!!
This year will be our first Christmas in a HOUSE! We got to decorate outside and its so cute! Of course we didnt get everything we wanted this year but I can get all that together after Christmas and next year we will be decked out :) We have the lights around the trim of the house and it looks great! The girls love it! We also got a BIG blow up Santa the girls are obsessed with! It looks so cute! We also put up a HUGE tree! Its 9ft and awesome! I love it! Of course our ornaments do not cover even half the tree since I had ornaments for a 6ft tree :) But the girls love it and are excited and that is all that matters right!
Well I will hopefully post pictures of the house and all soon!! Cant wait :)

Abigail 4 months :)

Baby girls is FOUR months old now...Time has flown by! Her stats at the doctor were as follows: 25 3/4" tall and 12lbs 9oz. So that puts her in the 80th percentile for height and 25th for weight :) What am I going to do with all these tall skinny girls! Daddy is going to have a hard time with these three :)
She has started LOTS of new stuff! She is starting to sit up more on her own and loves to stand! (While you are holding her of course) She coos and talks and giggles all the time. She is SUCH a happy baby! So glad she is over her reflux/throwing up/lactose intolerant phase. I call it all three because we wont know exactly if it was lactose intolerant until 9 months I think :)
Abigail has started her veggies! AND loves them! She loves to eat with a spoon and is VERY good at it! VERY different then the other two that we had to teach them how to eat with a spoon.

We stay Busy :)

We are all still here. We have just had a SUPER busy month! We got a house, new Table, girls started a new school, Rylees THIRD birthday, lots of friends birthday parties, Rylees Birthday Party, Thanksgiving Feast at school, Christmas lights, Christmas Tree and of course Thanksgiving. I will post later tonight on all our new adventures....stay tuned :)

What do you think?!?!

Here are pictures of ALL three around 3 or so months! I honestly do have to say before I looked at these pictures I honestly thought it was the other way around BUT now wow! Its very obvious who Abigail looks like as of now :)

Madison

Abigail

Rylee

So I always said Abby had Madisons hair (for obvious reason LOL!) And looked like Rylee in the face! WELL Now not so much. Rylee had a much much rounder face and the biggest eyes EVER :) Wow! Amazes me now looking at all the pictures of Abby and Madison how much they look alike. Its crazy! YAY for me though! I get TWO that will look like me :) Colin has one! LOL!

Finally Pig Free or are we?!?! lol

It has been a week. I do have to say yes this flu could have been a lot worse but man I am glad that its over now. It amazes me the different ways it affects each person. There were 2 other confirmed cases from our playgroup. All ranging from a slight cold to brutal hell :) Excuse the language. Yes I know it could have been MUCH worse but it was still pretty rough. Even in our family we had different varieties of it. Madison had fevers, chills, hot sweats, sore all over, and very little coughing. Rylee had a slightly lower fever but not by much, chills, soreness, achiness, coughing like CRAZY and wouldnt move. Abby had a max of 101 fever twice :) I had a super high fever, chills, soreness, cold then hot spells, sweating bad, and no coughing until AFTER the fever was gone. So although I am truly grateful we had it how we did and it wasnt worse, it was horrible while it lasted :) But now we are good to go I hope! We have been fever free and everyone has rid their cough BUT me. Mine only comes out during night or if I am running a lot. So it isnt too bad. I am just so happy its over. That was not fun.
Thanks to everyone that was sending well wishes, and praying we got over it quickly. It was not a fun 7 days!! But we all appreciate you caring :) Thanks!!!
