My friend Sandy took this photo while I was at school and I just loved it!

Soph standing by herself!!! It is so cute to watch her stand alone. She is adorable!

I just love the babies in their Michigan outfits! So cute!

Ri getting ready to go out for a day trip to the store and to get the boys from school.

Smile RI!!!!!!

Getting ready for the holidays yet? I can't believe that Thanksgiving is next week already! Wow! That is just nuts. It really is. We are making a turkey here at the house in the morning and then the kids are going to their great grandmas for a big family deal. I have to work second shift that day. Shouldnt be too bad. I am looking forward to the good meal with my family together. The babies will be able to have some of it too!!! Sophie is starting to walk and she looks so cute doing it and Riley is jealous of everything that is going on. He is learning to share others with Sophie. He can stand and take one step at a time. Spencers birthday is next week so we are having a little party for him and then in three weeks is the babies first birthday party with family and friends! A year old already! Wow!

All About Riley

Ri likes pushing his little care bear around the kitchen in his walker as well as Soph. He just laughs at it and smiles. He is so cute with it.

Ri loves to play ball and he will hit it back to us now and throw it...very sporatic but he likes to play at any rate.

This is what my little man looks like when he is done with his dinner. Sometimes he falls asleep with a sippy cup in his mouth!

Riley has this thing he does with his tongue and he does it all the time. He was hiding his little teeth. He has three teeth now and they are just so cute when I can see the little pearly whites!

Ri loves his walker. He walks all over the place. He is just starting to stand and let go of things. He likes to crawl up the stairs for bedtime.

Happy as a clam just knawing on his little rubber ducky.

All about Sophie

I bought this dress a year ago August as soon as I found out I was having a girl! I love it with the little sweater!!!

A little wobbley but this is Sophies first day standing alone-Oct 13th!!! Way to go Sophie. Now she is starting to take little steps for toys and our hands.

Sandy took this photo when Sophie was having fun watching the dryer tumble while she was standing in Tom's shoes! This is so funny! She loved it.

Sophie loves playing with the toys on her walker.

October 27th-Sophie gets SUPER cute new velcro bows for the hair that I can scrounge up to put in it. I don't care I love it and it looks so cute on her....in my opinion of course.

Sophie loves this care bear. She giggles and jumps all over it when she sees it. It is one of the boys but she goes nuts when she sees it and loves pushing it in her walker.

Christmas Cards for this year

I just loved this little art work that the kids and I made for our christmas cards this year. I took some paint and made the babies footprints and then the boys finger painted the snow. It is so darn cute! I love it. I really can't believe Christmas is coming up so fast! Where did the time go? and all four of my kids have birthdays surrounding the holidays-Spencers is Nov and the other three are in Dec! An expensive month for sure. Its so fun though. i love the holidays and this year I purchases stockings and took them to the embroidery place to get all of our names put on them and I am so excited to see how they look in front of the fireplace. I love this time of year and going shopping on "black Friday"!!!! Awesome!

GO MICHIGAN!!!!!

Sophie tackled Riley in the kitchen! Go girl!!!

Eddie hats? These hats are so darn cute! I loved them....

At the nine month check up. Riley weighs 21.1 lbs and Sophie is 18 lbs. even. They were really good and didnt need any shots! Yippie!

Geared up for the Michigan vs. Illinois game today! GO BLUE!!!!!

Hey Riley-Lets go MI!!!!!!

Smile Sophie Girl!

The babies

Here is my big boy so happy to go for a car ride. He will smile at just about anything and his latest is if Sophie toots or burps he sits there and totally belly laughs. Like it is the greatest thing. It is so funny and he is all boy! I can see it now.

Sophie was just so cute in this photo. I had to display it! She is so funny. I usually feed the babies right next to each other and one day Riley was being good so I put Soph in the high chair and began to feed her. Riley was making noise just under the tray and she kept looking around trying to find him. She would not eat until she saw him in the chair next to her. It was so cute!!!

BIG NEWS-SOPHIE GOT HER FIRST TOOTH!!!

Well that is our exciting information. Sophie got her first tooth in. It is so cute. Just a little line on her gums where it will soon emerge. Riley isnt too far behind her. Well the boys and I started school once again. It should be interesting. The boys are also in football and had their first practice. I think that I will like going to their games. Should be fun. I dont think that Isaac is going to be in scouts this year so I am not going to be a leader. I did like it though but just not enough time with school and all. I can't believe that summer is over. I really can't. I just love the fall. I really do. With the cooler temps and the upcoming holidays its fun.

In the bike cart waiting for ice cream from mama!!!

Riley is so cute in mint green. I love this little play/sleeper. It is really cute on him and he can zoom around becuase it fits him perfect. Nothing to get caught under his little legs...

This is a cute little summer dress that one of my favorite co-workers gave me!

I had to have this outfit for Soph! I found it at Carters! It was so cute with the matching baby doll.

I bought this little white outfit when I was pregnant last summer for my little girl! I never thought that she would look so adorable in it! PS-I really like having a girl! I really love my sons don't get me wrong....

This is Sophies little yellow duck outfit that i just love. It is comfy for her to wear and she can crawl around without difficulty.

Of course Soph had to get her nails done in pink-She did pretty well but I think that I need to find some of that 60 second dry stuff. Trying to keep these little feet still was a challenge. But well worth it.

Sophie had a good time at the mall crawling on the stuff in the middle of it. Her older brothers were right there by her side to make sure that she would be OK at all times. They are so good to the babies.

I got this cute little sun hat for Sophie! I just love it on her. It is so cute! Well she is so cute. LOL

We were doing laundry one day and put Riley in the clothes bin because he kept trying to get in it and once in it he loved it! he cried when we had to put clothes in it! He just chewed on the side...

I took the babies to the mall and they have all this stuff that the kids can climb on in the middle and it is so cute. The babies had a ball!!!!

I have a little yellow duck outfit for both babies and it is so cute! (in my opinion!) It is so summery!

Riley's turn for a photo shoot! I just love him in this outfit because his little chub arms are out for me to grab up!
