Picture Perfect...

So, in an effort to get a family picture for Christmas pictures, I thought it only appropriate to show you how picture perfect our family really is when it comes time to sit down for pictures!

Friends and Family

What an amazing hubby I have...he volunteered to watch six kids so that we could have a girls night!! These kids love each other and we love these kids!!! Cooper and JulianneRachel drinking her pre-Thanksgiving smoothie!!The kids cracking up!!Poor Jake broke his femur in two places the night before Thanksgiving. So, we spent as much time as possible with him on the sofa!!Oh my, these girls are growing up into such beauties!!

Halloween 2011

Halloween was a huge success again this year. Daddy and the kids have it down to a science. They track out their route throughout the neighborhood. It's a hunt, a competition, an annual candy greed-fest!! They succeeded! :)
Here's Spider-Mommy with her Spidermen and Batgirl!Super-Daddy with his Super-kids!When we asked Eric to give us his best Spidy-pose...this is what we got!! Ha!! Love it!!Cooper's Spidy-pose!Fierce Batgirl!!Here with our besties...Taylor and Rachel, Cooper, Eric and Camden! Love this family...When Cooper got his face painted and we would ask him to show us...this was his "show-us" pose! So cute!! Oh yes! Of course, there was pumpkin carving!!

For Halle's Birthday...we got to dress up...so, here are FOUR superheros!

More Fall Stuff 2011

Sometimes you just can't be with the kids every second...this is what happens when a curious four year old finds your make-up drawer. I suppose I should be flattered that he wants to be just like mommy...Coop-a-loop all pimped out in his God's Team pink hat and bubba's sunglasses!

There are times when a seven year old will smile that really funky toothless grin that makes you all annoyed and you say, smile pretty!!! Well, sometimes, you catch her before her silly's and you get this gorgeous little face!!Oh man, this boy loves his daddy!!!We took the kids to the annual church Fall carnival and after going through an interactive storybook walk-thru, the kids got to sit in God's thrown and be crowned into His kingdom!! What a great idea...Rachel and Eric loved being crowned!!Breakfast at the McHouse...this is how we roll!

Bikes and Boots!!

While the big kids are working on their bike skills (no Spiderman has no issues with wearing a pink helmet)... ...little man is busy working momma's rain boots!!!

Pumpkin Patch 2011

It's Pumpkin Patch time of year again! Once again, Mommy was blessed to be able to go on Rachel's field trip to the pumpkin patch again this year. We had a great time riding hayrides and trains, hunting for pumpkins, playing on the playground and bouncing on a really cool air-filled something!!! I know how blessed I am to have this time with Rachel...and I love every minute of being with my girl!!!

Terrific Kids!!

What a proud Mama and Papa we were when BOTH of our kids were awarded the "Terrific Kids" award at the first assembly of the school year. Rachel and Eric are great kids and were are so proud of their behavior at school!! The are kind, respectful, generous and helpful!! The best compliment a mom can receive is when one of their teachers says, "he's a keeper!" Yes ma'am...they both are!!
