four princesses and a player

I should have fixed Elizabeth's hair. You never know when pictures will be taken! Such a fun picture that will probably never happen again. Alley is really growing out of the princess faze.

I'm trying to figure out if Brady taking pictures of all his lego creations is normal?

Legos are found all over the house

When its a really good invention, he poses with it!

FOR POSTERITY

Eight Weeks and Counting....

Its true, I have never had ONE picture taken of me while this pregnant. I won't allow it! But I figured this may be the last time I will be in this state of being...So, I better have something to show for all my efforts to have kids.

Alley May

Alley turned 10 and wanted to get her ears pierced.

So we loaded up the crew to watch the pain take place.

All smiles before!

Still smiling with one earing in...


Ah, all done! And so Cute!

Someone got ahold of the camera and took a self portrat.

I guess I will blog it!!!

It's Just a Store Right?

I have been anxiously awaiting the opening of the New Super Wal-mart. Living without its prices and one stop shopping has been a tough price to pay (pun-intended) for the last seven years.

So, on Saturday I ventured out with all five kids, its the only way to really break in a new store, to the highlight of the town, apparently everyone else in the county had the same thought. Upon arrival I felt a sense of my young adulthood living in the Arkansas again, Wal-Mart as far as the eye can see. This store was beautiful! The prices incredible! and the Ilses, WIDE! Yet, I felt something was wrong...
I felt as though I was betraying an alli I had befriended over six years ago.

Before moving to the northwest Costco was unheard of, In fact I didn't know what the big "To Do" was about the place. However, being FORCED to shop there because of no competition, I learned to LOVE the warehouse shopping style. The free samples alone make a trip with five worth taking. I recognize all the employees and they are so polite and helpful. Costco has been a friend to me on those rainy days.

As you can see, I have great store loyalty, do I choose the Wal-Mart of my youth or the Costco that is always a friend? Oh what dilemmas I face!

Wickedly Fun

It was so fun to get out of the house, get dressed up and go on a date. And not just any date, Ben took me to see the musical Wicked! The music was incredible and the special effects were awesome. I'm not a great fan of the Wizard of Oz, (the monkeys always Freaked me out! And they did again in this show!) But if you like that movie you will LOVE this musical.
What a Night!

A Trip to Costco = Transformer Wars

Who knew that Costco could be so fun?


Now I know what they should be for Halloween!
