Jack-aroni & cheese

Our little cuddlebug

Peytie & Jack were chit-chatting with Sawyer, it was pretty cute!

G-pa Matt came over for a visit the other nite. Peytie made him give her 'horsey-back rides' for like 45 minutes! Poor guy was tired when he left!

We went to the 'Vrbi down the street' to build a snowman last Saturday. They had a blast! (And I think Uncle Dave had to regain his sanity after all the kiddos left!)

Grammy Tami, Jackles & SJ

Peytie was pushing her baby doll in this stroller the other day. Well, her & daddy decided that it was just the right size for Sawyer, so he strapped her in & away they went. Peytie pushed her around the house for quite a while. (We got the umbrella stroller out after that & she now pushes her around in it. Makes mommy feel much better 'cause it's a little more sturdy!) Sure does keep her pretty content for a while! Who knew 4 yr olds could be such help!?

This is pretty typical of Sawyer lately. Gnawing on her clothes, blankie, hand, pretty much whatever she can get in her mouth. Oh, the joys of teething!



"Here's lookin' at 'choo kid!"

Our girls!

So, it's been awhile... sorry, things have been a little hectic around here lately. Ha! Who am I kidding?... Things have been ABSOLUTELY CRAZY!!! I've been putting a lot of overtime in at work, playing catch-up from my maternity leave. On top of that, Peytie has surgery next week to have tubes put in her ears & to have her adnoids taken out. Sawyer has been teething & has been quite the handful lately. And Joe has been working a lot of evenings as well lately, which leaves me little time to do anything other than be 'mommy' once I get home. ;o) I'm desperately praying for a lull in my life here soon! What I wouldn't give for things to get 'boring' around here again...

Here are just some pics of our girls I've taken over the past few weeks... Enjoy!

Peytie & Addie-Cat

Big sis, admiring little sis!

"Sister kisses"

This is how we hold our bottle around here...with our feet. Our "monkey feet!" LOL!

After a long day at school & daycare...Peytie is quite the ham. A funny little story for ya': The other day, she had an appointment at the ENT specialist. When Joe picked her up from Laura's to bring her to McCook, she was waiting at the door for him. When they got in the pickup to leave, she said "Daddy, what took you so long?" He responded, "Honey, I was busy working - and was just running a little late. Sorry." She came back with, "Yeah, well I've been very busy lately too, with school, work at Laura's & then all these Dr. appt's coming up..." Ha Ha! I tell ya', it's days like those that remind me that our little girl is growing up. (Faster than we'd like!)

Super Bowl Party

We had a little 'get-together' for the Super Bowl this year. (Since Joe's beloved Steelers were playing.) Well, as most of you know - they WON!! It was an AWESOME game & the Cardinals were pretty impressive. I haven't been that 'in' to a game in a long time. It was so intense! And of course... we were ECSTATIC with the turnout! Here are some pics from the nite. (For some reason, I only took pics at the beginning & the end of the evening, so I missed a lot of our guests.) Thanks to everyone who came. It was a fun time!

Daddy's cheerleaders!

Jerry, servin' up some gumbo.

Daniel, Tori, Jack & Peytie

There was a commercial in 3-D so ya' had to have these glasses to get the full effects. (Or so they said... it turned out to be totally lame.) Anyway, the kids thought they were pretty cool!

Some of the crew...

Mommy & Sawyer

Laura & the girls

Hank, Rodney & Joe - watching the ceremony after the game.

True Steeler fans!

Just stuff...

Peytie, munchin' on some popcorn! (Her favorite snack!)

Evidently, it's Jack's fav. too!

Not sure what he's doing here...? (Dave has been so kind to take some pics with my camera lately.)

The kiddo's - giving Tori loves. Poor Tori has a torn ACL & a badly bruised knee cap. We're awaiting word on surgery... We're so bummed that sports may be over for her this year. We look forward to a quick recovery & can't wait to see her kick butt in both V & B-ball NEXT year tho'!!

Our little munchkin! (She's been having a rough time with teething lately. Hence the drool all over her shirt!)

The girs, playin' with their Daddy.

"JACK"-ARONI & CHEESE! (As Joe likes to call them!) This picture proves that there's NEVER a dull moment when these 2 are around! Crazy kiddos!

Sawyer, just relaxed in her bouncer. VERY relaxed as you can see.

Bathtime! Jack spent the evening with us again last week & it was time for Peytie to have a bath, so I threw him in too! (Ok, you know I didn't THROW him in, he was ALL for it!)

Tori Rae & her swollen leg. She stopped by on her way home from the Dr. in Kearney the other nite. She was a little doped up on Vicodin. Can ya' tell? Poor thing...We luv ya' girl!

Another bath tub shot. Cheesetastic!

A few shots of Miss Sawyer

"Ok Mom, enough already!"
