Birthdays and Pumpkins

I can't believe my little girl turned three this week! Where has the time gone? I can proudly say she is almost completely potty trained though. Yea!! I took her birthday off work so I could leave the other two kids with my mom and spend the day with her. She rarely gets her own time with me anymore. We went to get her nails painted. Then we went to Starbucks and got a really unhealthy chocolate drink. We walked around with our drinks for a while. Then we went shopping for a new Tinkerbell dress and to pick up her birthday cake. It was a fun day. That night the family came over for cake and ice-cream.
Skylar asked for a baby crib. I found the cutest one ever! She loves it.

This is my little niece. Isn't she adorable?

Life as a Family of Five

Wow I thought life was busy before, but I had no clue! It's like a little zoo around here. We are working on potty training which is a blast :( I have sunk so low as to pay my kids money for going to the bathroom on the toilet. It was actually a pretty good idea if I do say so myself. They earned quarters over the weekend and then they got to go to the store with me and pick out a candy. They each went up to the register and paid for their snacks themselves. It was really cute. I wish I had taken pictures of Jordan in his pajamas last night. Talk about cute!! I love love love the kids in winter clothes! They just look so snuggly. Unfortunately it is going to start warming up again soon. Here are some recent pictures. The first three were taken by my cousin shortly after Maci was born. He is an awesome photographer! If anyone wants his info I will get it for you. He is very patient with kids and puts 100% into making his pictures come out perfect.
