The pirate and the princess

He is still not over the pirate thing! It's going on three years straight people.... I guess it could be worse if he wanted to dress up like winnie the pooh everyday! There's always a bright side to everything!!!!!!!!!!!

Ivy loves her BaBa's like crazy

This is my girl au natural

Jaxon is now in charge of shop vac-ing all the rabbit pellets every morning.. ( He loves it)!

Cinderella

This is our cute new home........

It's really coming along and getting cozier by the minute. Wait till I post pictures of the enormous mountain lion that digs in our garbage... Stay tuned!
I promise this is where our rabbit lives! (don't judge)
if you look close you will see her litter box right behind her. She used to use it for it's purpose. She now uses it only to snuggle in..........Dammit!!




Do you have a bunny that lives on the rock that surrounds your fireplace? well, we do... So strange, creepy and cute all at the same time. Little miss Cinderella is not so little anymore. The lady at the pet store promised she was full grown and would always look like the sweet little supposedly litter box trained bunny she sold us for $24.99. She is getting bigger by the minute and is refusing to deposit her little pellets in her litter box. Now I'm not even sure that she's a she. I promise we have a cage less rabbit in our house that eats (I'm not kidding), one cup of rabbit food, 2 huge carrots, 1 celery stalk and whatever fruit scraps drop from the high chair a day. Thank goodness for the shop vac that I have plugged in ready to go every morning. I am starting to think that catching 15 grasshoppers a day for Fred the frog(R.I.P) wasn't nearly as painful as I thought. Sidenote: What the heck do people breed rabbits for? fur, meat, pets... Is this seriously a lucrative business? I can't for the life of me figure it out! I don't know anyone that eats rabbit besides my moms childhood friend (long story). $24.99 per rabbit isn't anything to write home about and I can't remember the last time I saw a tourist walking around the square in Jackson wearing a rabbit fur... please help me figure this one out!!!!!

Long time no blog...

What have we been up to? I am pleased to announce we are no longer homeless. We moved to a great new house in the woods. I have been decorating like a madwoman and making my nest cozy for my little chicks. I love it here! We have been busy doing the fall stuff that I love. We have made Carmel apples, carved pumpkins, haunted gingerbread houses, had some backyard bonfires, and had the annual, "Dinner in a Pumpkin"...... Good friends post pictures on their blog of their friends when they look good even if you don't..

Make that pictures of their sisters too.

Yaya and Jax made a pirate face pumpkin..........

Ryan brought his main squeeze home for the activities.....

I am afraid this mountain living is turning us into people who really look like mountain people.

One priceless night away from the kids at the Knotty pine. Enjoy the peep show!

Dinner in a Pumpkin



1 small sugar pumpkin

2 onions, chopped
2 cups diced celery

Oh I forgot to mention that this little woman is now walking all over the house. She really does have to wear a necklace everyday and almost never takes it off. it's too cute.

Happy Fall Everyone!

one

Miss Ivy is officially 1. Time flies, blah, blah, and all the rest and of the stuff you say on you're little babies first birthday. This little girl is such a joy to have around. She cracks me up constantly and I am so happy she's in our family. lets just say her birthday party this year wasn't exactly the party of the year. I promised her that when she turns two she'll have a great party complete with a pony... I love this little one year old more than ever. Happy Birthday, baby sister...........

SWM seeks someone to love

SWM seeks a sexy guy\gal to have a little fun with and possibly something more. Must love: Flying, good food, family, coffee, spray tans, and life in general!


This young stallion holds a very special place in my heart. He is sooo good with all the kids in the family and so easy to talk to. I couldn't think of a bigger catch than Maxamillion.

Besides studying to become an EMT he makes a mean cup of coffee on the fly. Leave a comment and if I approve I may give him your digits.

"Bangin" bangs for baby Ivy

All geared up with treats and scissors, tori goes in for the kill My poor little girl could no longer see unless her bangs were pulled back.

This was not an easy job! It makes me wonder how many treats my mom had to feed us while she permed our hair in our highchairs when my sisters and I were little. I have the pictures to prove it!

She looks so retro! I love the bangs and Ivy is happy to be able to see little hairballs and crumbs on the floor now so she can continue her journey of eating any little nasty thing that crosses her path.

Breanne's neighborhood

Let me introduce you to Robert! This nice fellow lives right downstairs from my sister.
I just had to capture a picture of this late night cat walker to share with you all. Believe it or not Cat Walking isn't the only claim to fame Robert has. Robert proudly tells the story of meeting his wife on the Jerry Springer show. We are searching for the episode on the web to give to my sister for christmas. Robert is a great neighbor and even offers to babysit from time to time. Anyone need someone to walk their cats or watch their kids????

Carson-Shivley-Petersen-Sandoval-Zachary

So we had the whole crew together a few weeks ago and decided to take some pictures in the mean time. Family pictures are sort of a nightmare but every ones happy to have them when it's all over. The more babies we add to the mix, the more difficult it gets. I wonder who will have the next one? 123 not it!!!!!
Sophie is starting a new lawn care business! Any takers?

My little brother is finally taller than all of his big sisters!

We tried our best to get a good one..

Sisters are forever friends......

I just love this one..

Sometimes we pretend like we're still newlyweds!

Bubba Jr.

She really does have an outie belly button

and the cutest little pot belly to go with it!

For your viewing enjoyment

My good friend Desiree and I modeled a bunch of crazy western get ups in the western design conference fashion show in Jackson. I miss you Des!

Papa Leo and his littlest granddaughter. Ivy is finally warming up to him and lets him hold her now. That's a big deal for Ivy!

I love this picture of Blayke! She is made for wearing hats... Next photo shoot I want to find a baby cowboy hat for this little girl. I can see it now!
