October...

I have been behind lately in the blog department. We had a really busy and fun/super stressful month! I feel absolutely terrible today with a totally yucky cold and should be resting, but as usual can't sleep with all my 'to do's' haunting me...Somedays I really wish I was less OCD!

Blakely and Parker both got dedicated at church. 

 Blakely did so great (they both did). She made sure to say hello to everybody...Mimi, Brian, Nikky, Kaki, Wolfie & Alli all got a shout out from the front of the church!
 Blakely got yummy cupcakes at Gigi's with Mimi =)
Followed by some major sugar crashes...
 We go around naked-A LOT (when it isn't cold of course...) Lately it is either naked or dress up-we have a major fight every day to put on 'regular' clothes. And yes that is chocolate on her face and chips in her hand...We do what we can to get by around here-don't judge
 been sick with a yucky cold almost all month...
 lazy, lounging around the couch kinda days for this one (wish I was right there with her!!!)


LOTS of dressing up!


 cuddle time with daddy (LOVING that he has more time with us at night with this new job of his!!!)


 dress up day at school! Blakely's best friend Sarah is to her left!
 Naked painting pumpkins party-hello red neck!





 cowboy trunk or treat at church











 super windy and cold...




Whew, I get exhausted even blogging about it all! Can't wait for all the Thanksgiving festivities to begin & CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7 Months Old

7 months old...My little buddy is not so little anymore =( 
Parker,
I have no clue what your weight is, but let me tell you something-it hurts to carry you my dear! I tried to carry you in your car seat the other day and couldn't do it. You have outgrown the car seat and aren't big enough for the other one yet...
 You are such a smiley boy! I LOVE YOUR SMILE! Mommy gets the biggest grins from you, if I do say so myself; although you LOVE your sisters VERY much! Zizi gives you lots of licks and love and you never complain about them. Blakely on the other hand is a bit more rough with you and that can make you uneasy. For the most part though, you laugh at both of them! You also smile for Daddy all the time!
 You are quickly growing past your rhino! Makes me so happy and sad at the same time. I love to see you advance, but miss my little tiny baby too! You sit pretty well when I am supporting you but are no where close to doing it yourself. You do roll from tummy to back and from back to tummy a lot. You love my baby can read. You like your jumperoo. You still like your rocking chair. You like your diaper changes.
 You are wearing size 4 diapers which means you and your sister are wearing the same size. It makes it easy for me when I go shopping =) You are wearing all the same clothes that I made for you two months ago in September which for the most part were 12 month-ers!
 This week you have just decreased the amount of Formula you are taking from 32 oz to 28. Still I am feeding you 4 times a day (8,11,3, & 7) 7 oz at each feeding. I started making your baby food at the beginning of this month. So far I've made you carrots (not a fan) apples (LOVE) bananas (nope), green beans (ok), peas (like), pears (LOVE), sweet potatoes (LOVE), and rice (take it or leave it)...All of which have been organic!
 You love your baths and night time. I have yet to put you down around 7 and heard even one cry. You always go straight to sleep. In the morning when you wake up, all I hear is sweet humming. I have yet to hear you cry in the morning either. At night however, you cry pretty consistently about every 2 hours-I go in there and cover you up and give you your bunny which you snuggle between both arms and go right back to sleep (I guess this is like your paci since you never liked that???) Naps are pretty hard to get regular with you. Since our schedule is never the same and we are rarely at home during the day you nap when you can. This calls for some major fussy times while we are out though so I know you would probably LOVE a regular nap routine-SORRY! I wanted to get you to sleep at 11 after your feeding and also at 3 after that feeding, but with B's school it just doesn't work!
 Here you are sucking that thumb...you love your thumb!
I love you Parkey. SO SO SO much! You bring us so much joy! Happy 7 months my baby!

On the Market!

For about 2 years Clint and I have debated back and forth about putting our first home up on the Market. Since the economy has tanked since we purchased in 2009 we kept putting it off in hopes of at least selling for what we paid...

Well we have decided that isn't going to happen before Blakely starts Kindergarden. Sooooo-long story short-here we are. We are listing it for a steal at $149,800! Some of my neighbors were at bidding wars once upon a time ending up buying for right under $200,000...Amazing what a really good president can do!
 It went up today! The pictures turned out great I think!
 Please please pass my blog address to anyone you know that might be interested! OR you can just give them the easy website that our agent created: www.565hackberry.com
 see isn't she pretty =)

 Nice open floor plan! Hardwoods throughout entire bottom floor!
 LOVE my kitchen-she will be missed!





 Here is our HUGE master bedroom! Also will be missed!
