MY FAVORITES!

I don't have any "big" exciting news for my blog, but I thought I would change the tune of my blog and move onto something a bit more uplifting! I was going through some old pictures on our computer (putting together a picture book for Haley) and I came across some of my "favorite" pictures of the kids! So, I thought I would share them with you!

P.S. The Brooks & Dunn song is also one of my favorites!

THIS IS LAURYN SLEEPING WITH HER DADDY AT GRANDPA & GRANDMA's HOUSE THE VERY FIRST DAY SHE GOT HOME FROM CHINA!! THEY WERE BOTH EXHAUSTED!!


THIS IS LAURYN's FIRST DINNER IN AMERICA (OLIVE GARDEN)! DOESN'T SHE LOOK TOTALLY THRILLED?!! IT LOOKS LIKE HER DADDY WAS HAVING MORE FUN THAN SHE WAS!

THIS WAS DYLAN's FIRST DAY OF WEARING GLASSES! HE WAS SO WORRIED THAT THE KIDS WERE GOING TO MAKE FUN OF HIM! HIS DADDY REASSURED HIM THAT ONLY "COOL PEOPLE" WORE GLASSES!! SO, THESE TWO "COOL DUDES" POSED FOR A PICTURE TOGETHER!!

THIS PICTURE WAS ONLY TAKEN A FEW YEARS AGO! CARLI WAS MOMMY's ONLY "LITTLE GIRL"! SOON, I WILL HAVE 3 LITTLE GIRLS!! WOW, HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED!!!

I REMEMBER THINKING HOW CUTE SHE LOOKED WITH HER HAIR LIKES THIS ! SHE WILL PROBABLY THINK THIS IS A HORRIBLE PICTURE WHEN SHE GROWS UP, AND SHE'LL SAY "MOM, WHAT IS UP WITH THIS HAIR-DO?"!!

THIS WAS DYLAN AND CARLI's BIRTHDAY (JUST A MONTH AFTER AUSTIN GOT HOME FROM RUSSIA)! OH THE DAYS OF LOSING ALL THOSE TEETH!!!

THIS WAS AUSTIN AT THE BIRTHDAY PARTY, ONE MONTH AFTER HE CAME HOME FROM RUSSIA!

DYLAN & AUSTIN (CHRISTMAS 2004)! ARE THEY CUTE?!!!



DYLAN & AUSTIN (CHRISTMAS 2004)...DAD IS A BIG MICHIGAN FAN!!

MY CARLI!! I'LL MAKE A LADY OUT OF HER YET!!

THIS WAS TAKEN IN THE FALL OF 2004!

THIS WAS LAURYN ON HER 4th BIRTHDAY LAST JULY (WHAT A LITTLE ANGEL)!



CARLI & LAURYN (SILLY GIRLS)! I'M SURE THEY'LL THANK ME SOME DAY FOR TAKING THIS PICTURE OF THEM IN THEIR LONG UNDERWEAR!!

ARE THEY ADORABLE, OR WHAT?!

I LOVE THIS PICTURE OF JESSI! THAT's A PLANT BEHIND HER (SHE'S NOT WEARING FEATHERS)!! DOES SHE HAVE A GORGEOUS SMILE OR WHAT?!
