The Carousel

I took the kids to Boomtown today so Abbi could ride a couple of rides.

This made a cute picture, but we didn't have any tokens. Oh well.

This is Alyssa, I babysate her for 2 days and Abbi had so much fun.

Here is Bug getting ready to throw up.

He is such a baby it cracks me up. He says to me,

"I don't remember this thing going so fast last time."

Here is Alyssa's Mom Nicole. Of course like always I was taking the pictures.

Oh well.

Stickers

My Sister I went to the Bay Area this weekend for a seminar. It's about a 3 hour drive. Abbi was playing with her sticker book in the back seats and I knew Thomas was asleep. Abbi was being a little to quiet. I asked Bee to look back there and take a look. She was laughing so hard she couldn't even tell me why she was laughing. This is Thomas covered in his sisters sticker. He never evn woke up. I think we have a cat, a pig, a cow and some dinosaur eggs. When your almost 3 year old is quiet for just a few minutes. You know it's trouble. (Bee your phone takes pretty good pictures).

The Crib

For the people who have been to my hooue, they know it is very small. So my kids share a room. The kids have been sleeping in the same room for about 4 months. I always kept the crib in the room, just because it was easier. Abbi is in a toddler bed and Thomas in the crib. I just put the bumpers back on the crib about a week ago. Because everytime I went in there to check on Thomas he had one of his limbs hanging out somewhere. A few nights later all of a sudden Abbi started to get into the crib with Thomas. It would make me so mad because she would wake him up EVERYTIME. So after about the 3rd night I sat her down and told her to tell me why she was getting in the crib with him. She told me she was just checking on him and because the bumpers where in the way and she could not see him. After that I felt bad for getting mad at her. It was my fault that she couldn't see him. What a good sister!

The Carhartt Boys

Trent and Thomas look so darn cute in their overalls.

9 kids on a couch one on the floor.

We went to a Bar-B-Que this weekend and there were 10 kids there and we tryed to get a picture of all the kids on the couch. Leah is under the table. Sam came off the couch and Stuart is putting her back on, so when I took the picture Sam is totally blocking Thomas. And Trent is upside down. Oh well. I think at one time we had all the kids crying they weren't very happy.

Anyone need a Doctor?

If anyone needs a new Doctor I happen to know a well qualified one.

She's pretty cute, BUT............

She tends to drink on the job a little.

But all in all she does a great job. Look Abbi isen't crying.

Play Dates

Rachel and I have started to meet up with our friends Misty and Sara and their kids. We meet everyother week, and go to new places in Reno. It has been a lot of fun. Unfortunatly yesterday Rachel and I both missed it. But I look forward to it in to 2 weeks

This day we took the kids to the park and they played on the play ground and then feed the ducks. The kids loved it.
Here is Abbi feeding the birds. I love this picture. Sometimes the pictures are better when they are not looking. Because at this age all I get is the cheezy fake smile.

Caution Nudity

Since it has been such a long time since I have had a chance to update my blog. I decided to post as much as I could in the time I have. Here is Brett and Thomas in the bath. Brett is getting so big just like Thomas. Time just flies. I can't believe Mindy has already had her baby.

Stuart and Lindsay came over the other night and we gave all the kids a bath after dinner. Bayliee was un-happy at first but later all the kids were playing.

Here's Abbi with Brett and Thomas. Brett and Thomas almost look the same size in this picture. Thomas just had his 6 months appointment. He weights 15 lbs 3 oz. and is 25 inches long.
