mmmmmmm sour gummies

A bitter sweet love between Deagan and the sour patch kids. We have been super busy around here getting things ready fo the holidays. So far we have all managed to stay healthy and safe and we pray that continues through out the winter. Hope you all have a VERY happy holiday.

Larkin and Niah locked themselves in the laundry room for a few minutes until I figured out how to get them out, but in the meantime I had a good laugh. Hope you enjoy.

Otherwise, we had a great Thanksgiving and we hope all of you did as well. Half of our life lately has been in Bay City. Thank you guy for letting us use your apartment. The roads are getting poopier so we are trying to keep eric safe yet keep our family together so say a little prayer someone would buy our home soon. Everyone please stay safe this holiday, we love you all.

some much needed time

AAAAHHHHH!!! We are feeling refreshed. Eric and I got to spend some alone time this past weekend. We went to IKEA, which is an awesome store. Then off to Great Lakes Crossing. We got lots of christmas shopping done but most importantly we got got some much needed alone time.

OH WHAT FUN!!!!

What a beautiful week. If only it would last right? Well we have had fun this week, lots of playing outside, still playing with our costumes, allergies :( , fun with our cousin Mollie, and our country made HISTORY! Yeah, OBAMA! (how fun to be part of it). Last night we went to our first parent teacher conference and the teachers had nothing but good things to say. Everybody loves him, wants to sit by Deagan. He is exceeding any expectations they have for him. he likes to talk a bit to much when the teacher is. I guess you could call in a social lite. They were impressed with his leadership skills where problem solving was concerned, even getting involved when other kids he wasn't even playing with are having a disagreement. Needless to say we were very proud of our little man. One night this week Mollie and Grandma Foltz and Grandma (smoke) Foltz came over to play for a while. We had lots of fun as you can see in the pics. Finally, mommy is getting EXCITED because tomorrow I get some time off. Every year myself and 4 other ladies I graduated with go to Birch Run for our "Old Wives Club" :) trip. We have lots of fun and stay overnight so it is a relaxing break.

Halloween FUN!!!!!!

Here is a peek inside what our Halloween looked like. Deagan, I have to say looked pretty awesome. The girls were cute but nothing very imaginative or difficult. it was a fun night but long and tiring for all of us. Enjoy, and check back again soon. We are tring to accomplish getting video on here of the ggirls singing twinkle twinkle little star.

growing babies, and big girl panties!

Sound like a funny topic? Well, we have seen lots of growing going on around here. First of all, I went scrapbooking this past weekend for an overnight event with Jamie Buckley which most of you know as "The mother of the triplets". But before we went I got to spend some time with the kids which was so much fun. They are all turning into there own little person, doing their individual adorable things. Anyway, I took some pics of them while I was there.

Next, when I was on my way home Eric told me that he and my mom bought the girls their first big girl panties (it gets old buying so many diapers). I could harldy wait to take a picture of that. They were so funny, they felt so free : ~ ) They also went to the Dr. for their 18 month check up and weighed 25 lbs. and were 33 3/4 inches tall. They have always been pretty neck and neck as far as there size. Always within a few ounces and a 1/2 inch. That put them at average for weight but 95th percentile for height. Check back for halloween pics next week. God bless.

WAY OVERDUE UPDATE!!!!!!

Wow, haven't given anyone an update since March??? That is not what I promised when I started this whole journey of blogging our family. Well Life has been crazy. We have had a very busy summer. We started off spring with the girls birthday, they turned the big "1" and we can't believe it went so fast and now they are 18months.

Then we had Deagan's Knight Birthday and Memorial weekend all in one as usual and had lots of fun that weekend. As usual aslo, this ends up being our kick off weekend for all the crazy summer events.

After those two parties Deagan had his dance recital, we went to the zoo, we had lots of weddings, we went to Krebs cottages as usual, we camped at sleeper, watched family who participated in the rodeo in bad axe, and were kept over all VERY BUSY!!! Here are a few pictures from the summer.

Since fall has finally come upon us, we have had good and bad days. Eric's Grandpa passed away at the end of September after a battle with cancer. It was hard for everyone in the family and he will be missed by all. Then my mom's cousin also lossed his battle with cancer at a young age, leaving 2 teenage children and a wife behind. Then we all have gotten to embrace our niece Mollie for a year while her mom is at officer training for the army out of state. I am sure that will be hard for them both at certain times throughout her stay at Eric's parents. Then to finally bring everyone up to date, we went to Sleeper State Park last weekend for there Halloween bash and had so much fun. Our entire group did a zoo theme that ended up looking really cute. Here are some pics from that. I will try to stay up to date now that things are finally calming down.

Our week in pictures

Deagan was at his Boo's so there isn't any pics this week to share of him. The girls are getting closer and closer to taking their first step but I think that they think their feet are glued to the floor. The pics I am posting this week are kind of random so I will just give a quick run down. The girls have discovered Mac n' Cheese and they love it as evident in this pic of Larkin. I was playing with some window lighting and got some kinda neat shots of Niah. The time change has thrown the girls schedule off and we had a hard time making it throught dinner.

I know alot of you have been wondering about our friends triplets and I got to take some pic's of them this weekend so I will share one. If you would like to see more I added some to my website under newborns. Love to you all, till next week.

Our Big Boy

Our Deagan is getting so big. He is Mr. Independent always wanting to go to his Boo and Papa's for a couple days here and there. I guess grandparents are always better (they get away with more). Anyway, he has been pretty busy with dance and going to open Gym time at a huge gymnastic's center near us. I swear sometimes I think he is smarter than me, the stuff that comes out of his mouth lately is just hilarious. I can't believe he is just a few short months from being 4 years old! WOW, where has the time gone? Really? I feel like we just brought him home. We couldn't be prouder of him and the aawesome child he is developing into.

Fun new stuff

Well it has been a couple of weeks since we last updated our blog and things are always changing and crazy around here. We did have a few new firsts though. The girls have begun to stand on their very own. Niah is especially good at it. It is so cute because when she stands if you say YEAH he starts to clap her hands and gets the big old grin. Larkin is doing it pretty well but if you say yeah to her she just stands there and stares at you with the typical Larkin stare down. We learned to make some new faces as you see below with Larkin :) so funny. We learned that Larkin absolutely HATES loud noises and Balloons. If a balloon even enters the room she FREAKS out. And finally the girls are eating pretty much only big people food which is GREAT! Now when we can just ditch the formula life will be sweet and less expensive. The last we were at the Doctors the girls were just over 19 pounds each. Talk to you all real soon when I put a post up with the fun stuff Deagan has been up to.

More pics.

I couldn't fit all the pictures on here that I wanted in my last post so here are some more but check out the post below for more pics and the update on the things goin' on around here.
