Brookie, Kittens, and sewing.

When Zach is working at night homework is extremely stressfull for me. Usually, the stress is caused by one little Brookie not letting me help Chase. She believes she has to be up at the table and pulling at his paper or finding a crayon or pencil and coloring on it. So, tonight Chase was reading his homework with me over on the couch and I kept hearing a thump, thump, noise. This is what I turned around to. Not a great activity but we got Chase's homework done quietly. Her face is so serious about the project. She is a determined little baby. Then she got a bumblebee pillow pet for christmas and she loves to ride it around the house, with the help of Zach or I. This is her telling us she is ready for Barry the Bee to take her for a ride.

Santa must have had a return after Christmas and thought we needed one more gift. We came home Christmas night and found a little stray kitten waiting for us. She is a very sweet kitty and our kids love her. Chase drew a picture of "Charlee". He really is a good artist, just like his dad. He draws all sorts of things.

Cute kids and my sewing adventures

This is the one of the dresses I have made lately, Brookie's dress is still not done yet. Just look at our cute little Belle. Oh, I have to also mention what a smart hubby I have. I found a free sewing machine on-line that was broken and he fixed it. So, I now have my very own machine!

Super-Baby

Chase is always asking for a brother. Well, today he just figured that he could dress Brooke up to play. They came out of his room and he had taped a super-man cape to Brooke's shirt and they were running and wrestling all over the place. If was really funny.

Our pictures

I am so grateful to have such a great husband and sweet little kids. We had a lot of fun having our pictures taken, (especially Chase) he's the little model of the family I guess. The picture of the tree was mine and Zach's place to go in high school to hang out and talk. All the memories we had there and now we have the pictures to remind us. Thanks Ashley for the great pictures!

My sweet girl

I had asked Belle to unload the dishwasher while I took a shower, I was 100% sure she wouldn't. Well, I checked on her after I got out and she had unloaded the dishwasher and was busy loading all the dirty ones. What a great kid I have!

Happy Halloween!

Our Halloween was fun, the kids dressed up and we met G-ma and G-pa Baldwin,Brandon and Holly and cousin Lacey at the mall. It was pretty crowded but, the kids still had fun. Little Brookie even liked it although, she spent most of her time eating suckers and trying to eat through the packaging on other treats. Zach had to work this year so that was a bummer, we missed him! By the time we got home Brooke was really hyper and looked like it too. Hope everyone had a great Halloween!!

The night before we carved our pumpkins. The kids did really great at it and liked it.
