New Years Eve Photo booth fun

New Years Eve Photo booth fun

Our oldest Landon, is finally at that magical age where we let our kids stay up to ring in the New year.We decided that when our kids turn 8 they would be able to stay up till 12 with us playing games and having fun. I think each kid should have some one on one time with mom and dad every now and then. When you have 4 kids its really hard to have time with only one kid with both Noah and me. We do … [Read more...]

Texting my sweetheart

Texting my sweetheart

It may sound silly but I miss Noah when he is at work. I love when he has some time off and we can just be together as a family. I am grateful that he works so hard but not getting to see him for 8-10 hours a day makes me miss him something terrible. He is an Air Traffic Controller and doesn't really have a lot of time to talk or text but he can check his texts so I started texting him … [Read more...]

Home Tour

Home Tour

Ive had a couple of friends ask for a tour of my home, so here it is. I am not a great photographer either so excuse my lack of talent. We live in a military house that does not allow us to paint on the walls or change out any of the features of the home. I honestly cried when they told us we could not paint. I literally already had all the paint colors picked out. I can't wait to own a house … [Read more...]

Back to School

Landon started school on September 4th. He is now in 1st grade and growing too fast. I can't believe my baby is in full day school.He loves it. I love that he loves it. (but I still really miss him a lot.)I wanted to make sure I got pictures of his first day of school and who Landon is at this point in his life.I made him hold a sign for me and on the sign I listed these things:He … [Read more...]

  • This bums me out so much. I love Instagram and I don't like what changes they are making. If you comment or like my posts often it will automatically calculate to add my feed into your updates, otherwise make sure you turn on your notifications from me. Thanks 😉
  • I am a sucker for freckles. Little kids with faces sprinkled with freckles make me weak. Tiny noses and adorable checks with those little flecks all over them kill me. Anyone else have a weakness for little kids with freckles? #freckles #kiddos #momof5 #mommy #cutekids #tinynoses #lovethem
  • Swoon!!! All of it!!!! 😍❤️ @paigemcewen_amodernrustichome has the most gorgeous space!!! #diningroom #decor
  • The leprechaun came to visit us last night. Totally left footprints everywhere, peed in the toilet, pooped on the table, and peed in our milk. Sneaky little guy! At least he left us a good present. I can't wait to eat some corned beef and cabbage later today! We are Irish (all our kids have Irish or Celtic names) so we like this holiday, who am I kidding, all Holidays are so fun. 😂🍀#stpatricksday #leprechaun #holidays #green #tricky #funwithkids #everythingisgreen #irish
  • This beauty found its way to my home! I think we finally have all the dressers we need (for now). I can't wait to get to painting this. I'm thinking I'll go cream on the frame and faux stain the drawers a dark brown. This will go as our entry "table". The dresser that's there now will move to the boys room so they have more drawers and the chest of drawers in their room now will move to the babies room. Now I just need someone with muscles to help my poor hubby move all those pieces around. 😂😜 @mrs.amykelley I think we'll put @mrzekekelley and his muscles to work when you're here! 😉#fauxstain #painting #chalkpaint #chalkpaintpowder #bbfrosch #bbfroschmagic #bbfroschmaster #furnitureflip #movingfurniture #redo
  • I think that's one of the coolest cakes I've ever seen. My boys would all LOVE this. #coolcakes #cakes #cake #starwars #disney #mickeymouse #disneymom #disneyfan #dis
  • I really want to put shelves like this in the older boys room. I think they would work great to hold all of their stuff. I'm planning on putting in a desk for Lego building and then putting these above it so they can store their creations away from the hands of smaller little brothers. 😍 I bought the wood, now I just need to buy the metal pieces. @beneathmyheart totally killed it with her boys room. She is amazing. I've been following her blog for a long time but just recently realized I wasn't following her on Instagram! Fixed that right away! She is my inspiration with her 4 boys, One of whom is currently on The Voice! I was listening to his song last night on iTunes and my hubby (who is a huge music fanatic) walked in and said "who is that? They are really good, I don't think I've heard them before." He is amazing, you should totally go check them both out! #boysroom #makeover #industrialshelves #4boys #1girl
  • Seriously... I just want to move into @lizmariegalvan house! Think she would mind?! 😂😉 it's always just so swoon worthy. I absolutely love everything she does! She is insanely talented! I love following her and getting great ideas from her!!! ❤️ #follow #thatchairthough #thatclock #thecabinet #okayallofit
  • I finally had a bit of energy and made the baby one of the 3 blankets I bought fabric to make. 😍 we'll see if I ever get around to the other two. 😂 one works for now! #fabric #elephants #sewing #babyblanket #babyboy #babies #pregnant #thirdtrimester
  • I get compared to the energizer bunny a lot. People tell me that they have no idea how I do "it all" and have so much energy. Usually I just want to laugh because I'm not even sure what "it all" is but I definitely know I don't do it and most days I barely have the energy to get the basics of life handled let alone do much more. Yes some days I am a ball of energy and I go to bed feeling like I accomplished a ton and other days I can barely think about doing a project without needing to go take a nap. I pace myself ALL THE TIME and for every 30 min-1 hour project I do I have to take at least that much time (usually double) to rest up. I hate that I ever make someone feel like I can "do it all" because truthfully I'm a hot mess most of the time. I'm still figuring out this journey of life just like the next mom. I love the quote "comparison is the thief of joy." It's so true! How about we stop comparing and start celebrating each other on those good days and know that we also all have those hot mess days. I think we would all be much happier people if we took that road. 😀 #motherhood #mothering #parenting #mom #parenthood #hotmess #life #challenges #livingwithgravesdisease #theycallmemom
  • I am officially swollen everywhere! Literally my fingers and toes look like little mini sausages and none of my shoes fit. I started wearing handsome hubbies basketball shorts to bed because it feels so much better, the kids think it's pretty funny. I can't hardly get out of bed on my own and rolling over is a serious work out. Touching my toes is out of the question and putting shoes on is the same as running a marathon. Little man packs a mean punch and kick combo! I am officially exhausted all day and want to sleep every second of the day. I don't even have the energy to nest. 😁 I don't know if it's because it's a fifth baby or because it's the first one I've had in my 30s but man oh man has this pregnancy been the most exhausting one so far. I've been having contractions off and on for the last two weeks so I'll be surprised if he stays in there till his due date. I realized today that if he comes the same time as Tayton did he will be here in a little over two weeks and if he comes when Aowyn did it will be 3 weeks. Gah!!! So close! I've started calling him he same thing in my mind every time he kicks or rolls over and I'm talking to him, but Noah's not on board with a name yet. He has the one he likes and I have the one I like. Every baby we have taken 2 names to the hospital.... So we may just have this guy's name narrowed down to 2, lol fingers crossed. 👶🏼🍼💙 #baby #fifthbaby #fourthboy #pregnant #swollen #exhausted #babybump

Words to live by

“Give your child a compliment and a hug; say, ‘I love you’ more; always express your thanks. Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved. Friends move away, children grow up, loved ones pass on. It’s so easy to take others for granted, until that day when they’re gone from our lives and we are left with feelings of ‘what if’ and ‘if only.’ … “Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey and share our love with friends and family. One day, each of us will run out of tomorrows. Let us not put off what is most important.” - President Thomas S. Monson
