GOD-PARENT REQUEST!!!

Maddie's god-parents wanted to see some photo's of her so this is really the only good one I have of her, the rest are a little crazy....she is either moving or grooving and they just didn't come out very well. This one she is telling me how big she is right before I tickle her!!

TACO FACE

The famous taco maker!!!

I was teaching Maddie how to make tongue tacos she picked it up pretty fast! Isn't it sad when you have to resort to making tacos with your tongue, because you are bored out of your minds!!!

My Sweet Red Annie!!!

My sweet red puff-ball!!! Ms. Annie had her Christmas play at school on Tuesday, she was a little disappointed when she didn't get a speaking part, but she had fun dancing around with her friend. She loves to be on stage!!! Maybe she'll have the confidence to be on stage for a career, nothing wrong with that. Do something you love and enjoy your life...life is way to short!!!!

Daddy's little helper!!

Mr. Charlie and daddy were very busy this weekend, it is really hard to believe that it was almost 80 degrees on this day and then the next night we got snow. Don't get me wrong it wasn't Ohio or panhandle snow but the kids were excited and that is all that matters.

It doesn't help when the bucket is almost as big as you are!!!

Leaning tower of boys!

This is a picture of my guys on thanksgiving at my moms house.

I just wanted to let you know that we are still alive and well, I have been crazy busy with finals.....but I'm done...I'm done....I'm done!!!! Praise the Lord!!!! I haven't been keeping up with the blog like I should have, but let's see where do I start? Kate and Charlie came down with double ear infections, Annie had a ruptured ear drum, Jarett had an infection that scared me half to death and on top of all that we had 3 birthdays, Thanksgiving and my finals. I am just a little tired.

But everyone is now healthy....hallelujah!!! This has been the worst semester for sicknesses, I don't even know if that is a word, but as of yesterday at 1:00pm, I don't care for a month. I will be adding more entries as I get used to not having anything outside of the house to do. So get ready for some Christmas pictures.

Love to all,

Liz

Not very many pics of me on here and for good reason, not the cutest hen in the coupe. This is the only pic I have of me and this is after 2 days of being sick and of absolutely no use to anyone. My bottom lip is a horrible mess (fever blisters), it seems to get worse when I have had a fever or fixing to get one, in this case already had one. I would much rather be Charlie with the chocolate on my face instead of fever blister medicine. Hope everyone is well, love to all.

Pa-Pa and Charlie

Here is a picture of my dad and Cha-Cha(Charlie), my mom and dad where up today for Kate's birthday and my mom caught this picture of these two together. I thought it was pretty cute!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY--KATE!!!

Today was Ms. Kate's birthday, can you believe she is 11 today. I can't, she is my baby and it is hard to let go and let her grow up. We let her get her ears pierced we did it last Saturday so her ears wouldn't hurt on her birthday....then we went shopping at Justice which is a "girly tweeny--bopper" shop. She got a gift card from her Godparents and some birthday money from her Aunt Donna and Uncle James and her Uncle Scott and Aunt Cindy. She also got a Tinkerbell bed set from her Grandma and Grandpa. We ended up rearranging her room and put her new stuff on her bed, so she has a "brand new room". I think she had a really great day at least I hope so. She is a great kid and she deserves a little TLC, sometimes she gets a little neglected being the oldest, especially when her Daddy and I get all wrapped up in the younger ones, and me in my school. Hopefully she won't hold it against us and loves us all the same.

Here she is with her new bed set, she loves it and will sleep like a fairy princess tonight!!

Happy Birthday---Grandpa!!!


We miss you and love you very much!!!


Hope you had a good day and had lots of goodies.





Love,

Happy Birthday--Jay!!!

If you can't come home and have a beer on your birthday what's the point. Jay turned the big 32 on his birthday and he seemed to have a pretty good day.

The kids and I made him a German Chocolate cake (his favorite) and Joe and Kate helped light the candles. We celebrated by having one of his favorite dinners and cake and ice cream. Just a nice little dinner with us and the kids...it was nice to not have to be anywhere else.

Charlie seemed to like the brownies we got for the kids and I (we don't like coconut), he just couldn't wait for his fork. He said that it was "YUM"!

My CRAZY Babies!!!

He looks like an orphan!!! Look at how dirty he is, I am not quite sure what he was eating, but from the picture it must have been good!!

Here are a few pics of the girls just playin' around the house, gettin' into stuff and having fun!!

Cub Scout Camp Out!!!

Here is a picture of "Cowboy Jarett", I think he looks a little cheesy he gets mad at me because I don't like his hat and won't let him wear it where we might be seen by people we know....and I know a lot of people and I don't want to be seen with him if he has it on. It is completely CHEESY!!!!

Mr. Joe went on a camp out with his Dad and his cub scout pack last weekend and had a BLAST!!!

They cooked out, saw a ton of deer and Joe got to sleep in a tent with his best friend. What more could a boy ask for!!

These pics are of him running an obstacle course, he was totally diggin' the whole thing and was blowing everyone away and loving every moment of it.

Kate's Growing Up!!!

She didn't want the plain ear-rings so she pick out some pink daisies, I don't know if you can see them very well, but she doesn't hold still very well. She didn't want the plain ear-rings so she pick out some pink daisies, I don't know if you

We went to get Kate's ears pierced today, she has wanted to get them done for awhile, but she finally got enough nerve to do it. She was a little scared at first, but she did really well. Her eyes watered a little. We got home and Annie started to cry, she wants to get hers done but she is to scared. This is was Kate's birthday present from her Daddy and I.

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to let ya'll know that Joseph's 1st Holy Communion will be in May on the 2, it will be here at our church in P'ville @ noon. Hope all can make it, we are going to celebrate with a BIG'ole Catholic P-A-R-T-Y afterwards!!!! He is really excited and a little nervous too. Lift him up in your prayers over the next few months. Hope all is going well with all of you and we'll post soon.

Love to all,

Annie's fish story!

This is a pic of Ms. Annie and her fish that she caught while we were at her godparents house the last time. We knew nobody would believe us so we took a picture. She was so excited, I think her hair curled a little more...ha-ha-ha.

Maddie and Joe-Joe

Found this picture of my two little darlin's, thought I would share.

Love to all!

Here is Mr. Jay at the beginning of the day at a Habitat for Humanity site. He is such a good sport, he donated his time for his "fabulous wife". It was greatly appreciated and I do love him for it, I have to have so many community service hours for my National Honor Society obligation and I get half of his time when he comes with me, so I SUCKERED him into. It was right up his alley he loved it and had a really great time. I had to leave early b/c Maddie got ill and I had to take her to the dr., he stayed and finished out the day for me.....and that is why I love him!!!

The Great Humanitarian!!!

She's doing what?

I know, she just isn't old enough to be shaving her legs, but guess what she is!!! Can you believe it? She was so afraid to get her shorts wet, I told her to worry more about cutting herself.

My guys

Here is one of my favorite pics of my Charlies', had to share it will everyone!!!

Charlie and Joe

Now if this doesn't look like trouble in the making your blind!!! Mr. Cha-Cha sure does live up to the whole little "monster" thing. He gives us a run for our money, if he would have been first he would have been the last--ha-ha. I think I might have said that about all of them, but this time I mean it. He is such a good little boy when it is on his terms, he has been going pee-pee on the potty at school, (I can't believe I just wrote that), but trust me it is something to be excited about!!! No more diapers!!!! YEAH!!!

Will you just look at our boy, look at how big he is!!! We took this pic for his cub scout stuff. He wants to be an "army guy" so bad but I just don't know if I can handle that. He is turning in to one handsome little boy. We just received report cards yesterday and he had straight A's, in math he had a 97 and in science he had a 98.....wonder where he gets that from? It sure isn't me!!

LOOK, we really did go on vacation!!! I am so horrible at this blogging thing, but since we have a new one maybe it will be easier. Who am I kidding, I will try to stay on top of it and post more pics as we get them. I am hoping Jay will buy me a new digital camera for my birthday, that way I can just click and download and everyone can see us faster.
