ATTITUDE!

ONLY YOU!

Me: Dylan the girls are telling me you did something. What did you do?

Dylan: Um...Me did nothin mom

Me: Why are you hiding then?

Dylan: Ummmm.....Me don't know

Me: Dylan come out and show me what you have in your hands

Me: O....My.......Gosh. Dylan why did you color all over your arms? Where did you get the markers?

Dylan: Look mom me do it. I color on myself and laughs.

Then the girls realized that I didn't freak out to much but couldn't believe what he did..... so they showed me what Dylan told them to do. You know girls .....it's never our faults. I should have known that Dylan made them do it......right! Once again I turn my back for a few minutes and this is the outcome! Although I wanted to scream and freak out I couldn't. The look on his face made me laugh and I had to break out the camera. Dylan you are sweet but Why? Why must you get into everything. From the time you new how to crawl and until now your into EVERYTHING! Now I know why mommy's get grey hair!

Dylan you are a one of a kind kid and that's why mommy loves you!

Getting things done. With this guy on my back!

So this little guy is spoiled. I love all my kids the same and each one of them has something unique about them. But I find myself spoiling the heck out of Cole. Maybe because there's just one of him. It's easy to hold him all the time and I know I shouldn't but I think that in the back of my mind I know he is going to be our last baby. So I spoil him and as he follows me around I find myself following him around! With spoiling him although I love it....It comes with some downfalls. For instances I can no longer get anything done around my house. Laundry goes undone, dishes don't get done, sweeping nope, folding and putting laundry away NOPE..There are times where he will go and play for awhile on his own or with his siblings and that's when I get some time to do some stuff. So The other day I was thinking do I give into him and give him what he wants??? With the other's I never used a backpack carrier. We always had to many kids for that. Strollers worked fine and they always kept each other entertained they were angels....Great babies! So my sister had one from ten years ago....with her first. She gave it to me when I had the twins but I never used it because we never had to. I started thinking do I get this thing out and put cole in it?

Would he like it?Right now he's looking and thinking "what the heck is this thing mama" I could get so much done and he would love this because he love's me holding him and love's playing with my hair! NOOOOOOO! I'm not giving in. I didn't use it with the other's so he dosen't need it. I'll be spoiling him again! He's to big for this. All I can say is Yes, I spoil this babe but he's only going to be little once. I never used one before and I want to ! I only have one kid this time. I put him in it.....All I can say is ....We love this thing. This is what Cole thinks.....


I love this contraption. I get to play with my Mama's hair.


I get to help put laundry away with my Mama. Oh, and did I mention I'm loving this no walking thing. This thing let's me be on Mama's back!


Sweeping is fun! It's my favorite thing to play with!


Mommy says that my brother's and sister's need to start learning how to do some of these chores! I'm still to little so I get to be on my mama's back and watch instead!


Watching how to wash dishes!

Off to put another basket of clothes away! FINALLY we're gettin things done around here!

PARADISE. SWEET BEAUTIFUL PARADISE.

So I'm thinking back about a month ago when we went to Cabo! The picture above was taken when we were sitting in the Detroit airport waiting for our plane. We were going on zero hours of sleep. The trip was AWESOME!!! We had such a great time. Although we missed our kids it was a good break for AJ and I to spend some time as husband and wife. Not parents of 7 kiddos. We had a great time with our Aflac friends! Our or should I say my day consisted of sitting my bum on a chair by the pool.....It was so nice to relax. Cabo was amazing and I would love to someday go back and take the kids.....they would have LOVED it! So we made it back safe and now back to reality. Even though I loved my paradise...I'm right where I want to be enjoying my crazy life. Trading in the sounds of the ocean for sounds of screaming kids, Trading in the sounds of "Hey Catrina" for the sounds of "Hey mom" and trading in people waiting on me and cleaning up (was nice and a good break for me) but now I'm right where I'm suppose to be....Loving my kids!

GOODBYE CABO!

HELLO SWEETHEART!!!!!!!!

Having Some Fun!!!!

What kids will do for Cupcakes. Our kid's are great in public! Well that's only because they cling to us and won't leave our side. They have always been this way. Were trying to get them to interact a bit more. So when we were on vacation we went to the kids activity room and they had so much to do their. Kids running around everywhere....my kids were wrapped around us with no intention of playing....but when they called for all the kids to come over and play a game..to win a CUPCAKE.....Guess who's kids wanted to go! Yes, mine did. That's right. They participated in a game all by themselves....This is HUGE for them!Ah, Finally my kids are becoming "normal". So out of seven five of them won cupcakes and well of course we couldn't let the other two go without so here they are enjoying the cupcakes! Who would of thought you could still fly down the hills with a half of inch of snow on the ground!!! That ended quickly after Keegan wiped out....He wanted nothing to do with sledding after that. It took me forever to convince him that it would be fun. Go figure I talk him into it and the first time down he wipes out! Sorry Keegan! Next time I'll make sure their is actually snow on the ground so if you wipe out again... it wont be you wiping out in a bunch of hard,cold sand!
