Halloween 2008

This halloween the Older kids wanted to do a High
School Musical theme so Braldey was "Troy" and Brent was "Chad" my niece
Abby was a "Wildcat Cheerleader" and to get in on the fun Dana, my sister
thought it would be fun for us to dress up as Sharpay and Gabriella. So I
was "Sharpay" and Dana was "Gabriella". We all had fun! Enjoy the pics
because I am not dressing up for Halloween again!! Madyson was of course,
Cinderella, Miles and Marshall were Spiderman and my nephew Mason was a x-ray!!

Church Choir Performance and Madyson's fall festival

I know I am behind on posts!! Sorry! We have been
super busy around this house. With choir, dance, field trips, halloween,
and just the normal routine with 5 kids. Brent and Bradley had a choir
performance at church a few weeks ago and they played musical instruments as
well as sang. They both did very well. Bradley even put a "little groove" into
his singing but I was not able to get a picture because he was standing behind
his choir teacher. Hopefully when I get the video I will be able to show more.
Here are a few pics!!

And a few pics from
Madyson dance performance at the Fall Festival

And here are some pics from Parents night at Dance. Her class has been doing so well that they
got to advance to the bar which is normally not done until next year. She loves
Ballet. And is very good at what she has learned already. This years
dance recital in the fall they will do a tap performance and a ballet
performance. I can not wait. The costumes are adroable. We got to
see a sneek peek in book last Tuesday night.

The Field Trip to Green Meadows

Well we had a great time to the Green Meadows farm. Miles, Marshall, and Madyson had a great time. Some of the things they did made me think of when I was a kid at my grandparents farm. We use to chase chicken and roosters around and catch them. Which is what the kids got to do at the farm. At first they where all scared to touch them and then Marshall started picking them up. That was a big suprise to me. I figured it would be Miles. Madyson wanted nothing to do with the chickens nor did she want to milk the cows that the boys did. They all had a good time and at the end they all got to pic a pumpkin. Enjoy the pics.

They all had a great time and got to even go on a hay ride. That was an adventure. Our driver liked to drive fast but the kids enjoyed it. The parents and teachers held on for dear life!!

Our Crazy Life

Sorry I have not blogged in a while. Things have been a little crazy around here. The kids and I are moving right along with school and the little guys actually have thier first field trip this week. They are very excited. Brent and Bradley also have their first field trip it is with music to the see the 5th and 6th grade sympony at one of the middle schoools. Thier big trip to Bass Hall to see the Nutcracker will be coming up soon and Brent is very excited. He loves nutcrackers so he can not wait to see it. Madyson had a dance performance last week I will try to get pics posted one day this week. She was so cute up there doing her little dance. She loves to dance. This year is her dance studios "BIG" performance so they are gearing up for that. She will be in two numbers and have two costumes. Hopefully her hair will have grown back a lot by then. It is growing back so I am thankful for that. Well that is about all that is going on with the kids and I. We did all have a fun weekend away from home. They boys got to announce at a rodeo they went to with my aunt. When she told me it reminded me of when I was pregnant with the quads and I was standing in the baby department at Target and hear a little boy say "Attention, Attention, everyone listen" I thought to myself at that time that poor mom. Then my cell phone rang and the fear came across my face. That child was mine! It was Bradley!! After the day at the rodeo my Aunt took them to see a magic show where they got to help the magician they really enjoyed that. Miles and Marshall stayed with my sister and got to do some early trick or treating with Mason and had a blast. Abby and Madyson got a girl trip with me and Nana. They had fun and mom and I had a great show and fun seeing my cousins. As soon as I get pics from my mom I will upload them from the fall festival. I am also starting back into photography so look for my photography blog to be coming soon.

Comparison Pics!!

Ok I have been ask by a few of my online friends to see pics of what I looked like when I delivered twins and what I looked like when I delivered quads! So here you go.

37 weeks with Brent and Bradley

Every inch of me was swollen from head to toe. My feet were so swollen I could not wear shoes. I remeber going to the hospital in a pair of flip flops of my sisters and they would not go on my feet but part way.

And this is me at 29 weeks on the way to the OR with the Quads. I was WAY bigger!! I did not know my stomach would ever stretch this big but apparently our bodies can do a lot more than we think it can.

Now I am in the mood for a few more comparison pics. I started looking at my online album and found this pic of Madyson. She was about 1 1/2 in this pic. What a little angel or should we say "DIVA" she loved these overalls and sunglasses. She actually still has the overalls and will not let me get rid of them. I am going to have to sneak them out while she is at school, and that is on my list. Cleaning closets.

Somethings Never Change!! She is still our "little diva" and still likes to wear sunglasses.
