SLACKER!

 

Well, I have failed already to make a weekly post.  I guess it was inevitable with three kids AND……a NEW PUPPY!!!

Meet Miss Dixie.  She is now 13 weeks old and we are loving every minute of her! Okay, not every minute….I am not fond of the accidents on the floor or the toys I am constantly taking away from her, but how can you not love those big ol’ floopy ears and droopy eyes?!

As you can guess, she is a Bassett Hound! She is very smart…except when it comes to potty training LOL.  We are currently crate training her, so hopefully the potty training thing will start clicking soon!

 

Last weekend I took the kid’s Christmas Pictures….now I just need to get my Christmas Cards done! They will be arriving sometime around Christmas Day I am sure!  

Here is a sneak peek…I cannot decide which ones to use…especially Kaden’s! The boy who hates to look at the camera was a total show off! There aren’t many of Charlee, but I have a few more to edit before I make my decision.

Picture Post!

Here are some pictures from my phone from the last few days! We have been busy picking out a new puppy, carving pumpkins, and getting ready for Halloween! 

First up...our new puppy! She is a pure bred Bassett Hound and oh so adorable! She will be coming home to us on November 21, and we have named her Dixie. :)

We had dentist appointments last week. Olivia loves the dentist. Kaden- not so much lol. No cavities for Liv! Not sure about Bub's since he pretty much refused to let her see. ;)

Finally ordered our canvas wall grouping! This is a screen shot of what it will look like. Can't wait to get it up on my wall!!

Uncle Haw came over to help us carve pumpkins last weekend!!

Almost 7 weeks of nursing this sweet little one and going strong!!!

Olivia's Kindergarten picture. :)

Sleepy little princess....

My sweet babies having some morning cuddles in our bed! ❤️❤️

Family picture time with Zack as the photographer. They kids were crazy naughty, but I love it just the same!

Kaden did this the entire time lol!

Love this!!

One month!!

Fall fun!!!

We babysit this cute little face yesterday!

Cornbelly’s Pumpkin Patch

 

Last weekend, we took the kids to Cornbelly’s Pumpkin Patch.  We started the day off right by completely forgetting to bring diapers for Kaden.  Well, we cloth diaper now and they don’t exactly hold 8 hours of urine like a disposable does! We had planned to stop at the store and by a small pack of disposables on our way out of town, but we totally spaced it.  Luckily, when we got there, he was still dry so we decided to just go with it. 

First thing we did when we got there was get some oh so yummy fair style food! Kaden was in food heaven when we presented him with a giant piece of roasted corn on the cob, a hand dipped corn dog, and an orange pop (Three of his most favorite things). 

I was super worried about our little diaper situation….especially after I let him drink all that orange soda! But, we went along with our day and soon forgot about it (for awhile at least).  The kids had a blast playing on slides built off of hay bales and bouncy houses.  They got to make their own snow cones and eat kettle corn.  They even went inside a giant blow up lizard.  Olivia said it was really scary and that it growled at her the whole time.  She then proceeded to tell me that she was wanted to go into the haunted house.  I told her that if she could handle a growling monster, she could not handle scary dead people jumping out at her.  Her response: “Oh, I can handle dead people Mom.  I can definitely handle that.”  I love that girl!

The whole trip, Olivia was so excited to go on the mechanical bull. Honestly, I doubted that once she saw it, she would even go on it. Well, she surprised us all! That girl got on that thing twice and didn’t have one worry in the world about it!!

 

 

It really was a super fun trip looking back on it. At the time, I felt really stressed out with all three kids and both of us were definitely ready to go home after just a couple hours, but it was a great first “big day out” with all of the kids.  Kaden made it to the car and of course, soaked through his diaper.  I ended up taking out the inserts and stuffing his diaper with a couple of Charlee’s diapers.  It held him over until we got home. 

 

I am a couple days behind and we had a pretty big event occur today, but I am ready for bed ( I only have a few hours before Charlee wakes up), so I will write a new post tomorrow. 

 

Love you all!

For those of you that do not have Instagram or have trouble finding all my pics on fb, I'm going to try to post a weekly update of Instagram pics to my blog. :)

I will get you all caught up on our trip to cornbellys and Liv's bull ride when I get a free minute to get on my computer. Love being able to blog from my phone!
