September is almost over...

This little cutie started pre-school this year and she loves it already...

she asks me everyday if preschool is on 'this' day...

here is the obligatory picture by the desk...

look how excited she is...

miss creepy eyes here has been my little buddy now for a few hours each week...

she misses her sibs so bad and can't hardly wait for them to be home...

Jenner and her BFF Claire were giving their babies 'blessings' so they would eat good and sleep good and be good for their mommies...

I almost peed when I saw them doing this...

I had a birthday and my adorbs chillins made my day so perfect...

they made me a GIANT poo cookie with custom card and cleaned the ENTIRE house for me...

I was off playing with my sis and my ma shopping and stuffs...

my ma spoiled me also...

this right here is my mostest favorite dish right about now...

Brushetta if you must know...

and it consists of the freshest tomatoes you can find with a few other ingredients that will send your tastebuds into overload...

all without making the calorie count go up too much for the day...

recipe anyone?

this right here almost never happens...

sleep before 10?

what the what?

a girl after mine own heart...

enjoying her sit down with a diet coke...

bliss!

got my toes did for my BerfDay...

thank you Miss K for the devilishly awesome gift!

a sleeping photo at it's finest...

seriously?

went to the rents' house this last weekend and celebrated a BerfDay or two...

this here is a cousin train...

this here child who swore to me that he would never ever ever grow up has turned 12...

12...

seriously?

dropped him off at mutual last night and I found myself making up all sorts of excuses to say, walk him in...

talk to his leaders for a few...

make sure he found a seat...

watch him for a minute...

it was hard y'all...

so hard!

But, he had a great time and can't wait for next week...

UGH!

whilst these sleeping beauties were snoring away at G-ma's...

I was playing the role of insomniac for a few days...

Oh so fun...

BLEH!

gots my hair did in the cutest salon evah...

loved this saying so much I just had to take it's pic!

And there you have it...

our September in a nut-shell...

wanna come play with us in October?

15 things for 15 years...

Today is my Anniversary...

it's been FIFTEEN YEARS y'all...

sigh...

I know right?

This past MD weekend we spent some good quality time with some of my fam at the cabin and it was fabulouso...

so relaxing (well except for the no sleep factor), and so fulfilling watching the littles enjoy their cousins so much...

there was little to no fighting and little to no sleep with loads and loads of food...

I think I gained a few...

but not to worry, it was worth it being around family for 3 whole days!

I thought a lot about this post and decided that because we had such a great weekend and all, that I would list fifteen things that have made me happy in the last fifteen and in the last few days...

This guy makes me happy...

like so giddy and silly happy with a cherry on top!

in his own words..."you complete me!"

HA

About fifteen years ago we carved our names in a tree by the cabin...

you can see it everytime you leave the 'driveway'...

and it makes me happy...

I didn't think much about it when we carved it but now it really is pretty cool to look at it and realize how old it is and how long it will continue to exist (like us)...

so very cool...

Littles on four-wheelers makes me happy...

they all love them so very much and if their isn't one running at all times, trucking around all the kids...

then there must be a problem of course...

I learned to drive these suckers when I was only 8 years old...

now my kids are learning to drive them...

at around 10 years old...

hahaha...

This picture makes me happy...

you see my man there...

he is very very silly...

and makes me laugh at the most ridiculous things...

knowing that my man isn't to manly to ride on a four wheeler with my brother and their two babies makes me happy...

and it also makes me laugh...

Taylor makes me happy...

she is silly, serious, usually content and pretty weird...

she is very strong in her morals and convictions and doesn't ever waver from her belief's and that right there couldn't make me any happier...

Rhett makes me happy...

he's smart, compassionate, goofy, a bit air-headed and very loving...

he loves to read, loves to be home with me and loves to watch all things football...

he makes me very proud to be his momma...

Grady makes me happy...

he's silly, sensitive, strong willed and super crazy...

he loves all animals and wants to be a zoo keeper someday despite the fact that he allergic to 95% of all animals...

he is still my little buddy and I love to take him along with me to the store for some reminiscing of the old days...

Jenner makes me happy...

and this picture makes me giggle...

she is strong willed, smart, very silly and very cuddly...

she just started pre-school and loves it dearly...

when we had her, it felt like having my first baby all over again...

but this time around I knew more about what I was doing and was more comfortable with myself as a mom...

she has brought so much joy to our home...

Addy makes me happy...

she is crazy, silly, imaginative and has such a great singing voice...

she can play for hours with nothing but a few baby wipes and a couple of stuffed animals...

she plays house with all sorts of weird objects...

like marbles, candy, shoes, wipes to name a few...

weirdo...

she is so funny and has even found a way to be a little jokester at her young age...

This picture of Chris and his brother makes me happy...

Tyler has been such an important building block to our family dynamic and has been such a blessing to us for the past decade...

Chris is lucky to be able to work right along side with his brother and his best friend...

that right there makes me happy times a million!

My crazy, un-photogenic baby girl makes me laugh all day long...

I don't think I have even one single decent picture of this little cutie...

and I don't care cuz this is exactly how she is all of the time...

silly...

Diet coke makes me happy...

very very happy...

that first sip of the day makes me the very most happiest!

Pedicures make me happy...

the fact that someone else is taking care of my tootsies is somethin sorta special...

so very very happy...

and we are back to this guy...

he gets to be in my Happy List a few times cuz he deserves it...

having a family with him has made my life so fulfilling and so challenging and so beautiful...

he has brought me to such a great place in my heart and I feel like myself more than ever when I am with him...

So...

Happy Anniversary to us!
