Rebecca's World: September 2009

Sick babies are soooo pitiful:(

The dress up is escalating!

The pics say it all...

September 11th

I still cannot believe it has been 8 years since this tragic event. But as much as it has changed all of our lives, it has brought some of the best in people and has produced many heros. We decided to break out the red, white and blue to show our support for those who lost their lives that day, have lost them battling for our freedom and those who have and continue to protect our country with out a second thought! God Bless America and God Bless our troops!

So Kaiya was sick on Saturday...

So Cassie decided to play with all the toys at the same time and even transport them around the house.... it was a rare oppurtunity for her to play without anything getting taken from her:) Of course representing her team at the same time. Win or Lose we love our Buckeyes!!!

Craft time at Aunt Boo Boo's

For the first time we sat all FIVE kiddos around the table and let them make some pumpkin crafts! It was Austins first time and he was pretty pleased to be involved.. although he was not totally sure if the items were crafts or food... after a taste test, he decided they were crafts and had a ball! Everyone made a great pumpkin magnet:) CCAD here we come:)

Airborn......

Before Charlie's bday party, the girls decided they wanted to wear little pettycoats under their outfits, so I of course found one for each lady and slipped them on... and naturally, they took to the couch (one of their new favorite places, sans pillows of course!) and wanted to have their skirts bounce with them! I was lucky enough to catch each lady off in the air:)

What a nice night celebrating Char Char's 3rd Birthday!

Nothing better then a night with the family to celebrate my sweet nephews 3rd birthday. We gathered at GiGis and had a great night (minus my daughter having a meltdown!). Charlie loved his cake and his presents! One of the things he got was a Cars bedspread for his room at Grandmas and Em put it on his bed and he said... "This is Charlie's room for sure, a boys room with cars" :P too cute! Thanks for letting us be a part of his birthday Em, you threw him such a nice, sweet party. It was perfect!

When all else fails...

Let them play with make-up!

This is what happens when you cannot get your toddler out of her carseat...

Oh... so many Weddings :)

It was a lovely day for a wedding! So we sprinkled all the white pedals to make an isle and the brides just kept coming! Hannah (Tinkerbell Bride), Kaiya (Snow White Bride) and Cassie (the Wiggles Bride). With their fabulous bouquets from Nicole and flower pedals.... it was quite the occasion!

Such a goofball! When Cassie is on... she is ON:P

Now this is a power nap!

Cassie seems to have inherited my talent for sleeping! Whether she is asleep in full majorette gear or sleeping sitting up... she can sleep! God bless her:)

Nicole, the girls fairy bride mother :)

I was thrilled when Nicole agreed to come over the day after her Wedding to surprise the girls with their very own brial bouquets, cupcakes, pedals and monogramed chocolate bars. The girls were dressed and ready for the event! And they just loved it. Nicole, I cannot thank you enough for making my girls so happy... they have talked about it everyday since and we had several weddings yesterday once Hanni got to get in on the action! Nicole was nice enough to give Hannah her actual bridal bouquet that she walked down the isle with... Hannah was thrilled! Those pics are coming!

The girls seem to be going through a tiny dress-up phase....

Or maybe a HUGE dress-up phase!!! Old dance costumes - CHECK, butterfly/fairy wings - CHECK, dresses shoes - CHECK, tutus - CHECK... what else could a little girl want! Hanni, Kaiya and Cassie have been having an absolute blast in all the dress up stuff we have. I have tons of stuff from the baton, dance and pageant days and I have hoarded quite the collection of little girl princess dresses - thanks to Once Upon a Child! Kaiya and Hanni are currently wearing dresses everyday... Cassie only occasionally... here are just a few samples!

I love me some babies! And there are lots to love!! :)

Look at these teeny tiny beauties! AMber and Josh were nice enough to let me, Kaiya and Cass invade their house for another visit with Lucy and Emma. We also got to meet Butch and Scout, Amber and Josh's dogs that were kinda nervous around my two wackos! But it was lovely... other then Cassie and Kaiya trying to break the girls swings and Kaiya knocking Cassie flat on her back off the ottomen onto hardwood floor!!! Amber and Josh were so gracious and lovely to have us and never even gave me a second look for my two loonies:) I got the pleasure of feeding Lucy and feeling such a tiny baby in my arms again - it was so sweet! Amber and Josh already look like naturals rangling their sweet little newborns! Thank you for having us guys!

Ahhhh... Bryn, such a doll baby! She was just too adorable and had an entire group of admirers and helpers! Thank you Carrie for such a lovely visit... even with 3 adults and 8 kids... we still had time to talk and of course ooohh and ahhh over baby Bryn!
