Newest Addition

Gwendolynn Judith Muldowney was born today at 7:54 am. Weighing in at 9lbs 4oz 21' long. Beautiful chunky baby who LOVES to nurse. She looks a lot like Rose. The kids got to peek at her through the window and are excited.

Milk vs Gas

It is sad when you pay more for milk then gasoline.

Snowy day

The kids were excited to get home from school so they could play in the snow. Rose and I enjoyed watching them play snowball baseball from the comfort and warmth of the couch.

Piano boy

William had his very first piano recital today. He did an awesome job. His teacher is always amazed on how fast he picks up on stuff.

Last 2 pumpkins

Halloween day we finished these two pumpkins (Jeremiahs is the one winking). We grew them in our garden and for some reason they were super hard. All our pumpkin carving knifes where broken on them. We finally had to use a drill just to cut into them.  fun times.

Carving pumpkins

We let the kids carve their own pumpkins all by their selves this year. It was fun seeing their creativity.







Rose what not quite sure what to do. And was even more unsure if she liked the feeling of the pumpkin slime. This is my favorite picture. William was so grossed out he gagged a couple times. I had to switch pumpkins (to clean out) with him since his was so slimy. I laugh every time I see this picture.





Me in my 8 month glory. Isabelle loved cleaning out and carving pumpkins. She was the biggest helper.

My finished pumpkin. Jeremiah always has the best looking pumpkins. This year I think I have him beat. Especially since he hasn't even carved his out yet.

Onions Galore

What do you do with old panty hose and 25lbs of onions?

You make Onion Hose.

 These beauties will be hanging down in our storage room through the winter. I found this clever idea on Pinterest. And when I need an onion I just cut below the knot. They are suppose to stay good all winter long. 

Watch out..... here comes the FLU....

The flu has hit our house and hit it hard. Micheal started throwing up Wednesday night with Joseph following with in the hour. I started in the wee hours of Thursday morning. Rose joined in Thursday night.
Micheal had a quick recovery and was back to school today. The rest of us have been slowly recovering... (poor Joseph is having the hardest time, I blame it on all the meds he is on for his eyes).
Lucky for me Jeremaih had a day off and was able to switch around shift so he could take care of us all. He is truely my Superman. I told him he was getting a little taste of what it will be like when the baby comes. Hopefully he won't be cleaning so much puke then. =)

Rosie turns two

I can't believe its been 2 years since this little one came into our life's. Rose is sweet and loving when she feels like it. Her favorite thing to say is "Ick" (look). She is often pointing out birds and other animals she sees with a "mommy ick ick". Her sibblings love to make her laugh.  She is still a mommys girl but since mommy took away the pacifier she is liking daddy a lot more. We sure love our Rosie and we are thankful for the joy she brings into our family.

Good-bye

My parents just sold the home I grew up in. They owned it for over 33 yrs. It is bitter sweet. I am thankful that my parents are living in a better home for them but it will be hard to say good-bye to the home with so many memories.

Watch out....There's a new sheriff in town....

New Do

Isabelle got her first professional haircut. We looked at some picture and she liked all the long thick curly hair dos. Her hair was past her shoulders but very wispy. So she got a bob to help even out her hair. When she saw it she frown and said it was so short.
Funny thing is when I was her age I went and got my first "real" hair cut and I remember going and thinking they would make it long with lots of wavy curls. My mom told them to give me a pixie cut. I was so excited until I realized what a pixie cut was. I believed I cried.
Luckily with in a couple hours Isabelle said she was getting use to it and I have seen her flip her hair around admiring herself. Funny girl. I told her aunt Abby had the same hair cut and she got excited.

Daddy Daughter Dance

Craft day at Home Depot

The kids got to build moving trucks and heart boxes today. 

Joys of the garden

We were gone for 5 days and this is what was awaiting us on our return.
Our garden also seemed to explode. Jeremiah has declared that he hates squash because it thinks it can take over the rest of the garden. I have to hold him back from cutting out a lot of it.
