My good friend Natalie likes photography and just got a new camera. She wanted to test it out on my kids so I let her have at them! She did a great job, these are so much better than in the studio. We (I mean She) just did them at her house and look how good they turned out!
My little man.
What is sweeter than that?
Audrey enjoyed being the center of attention for her photo session, she LOVED the umbrella!
I have more I want to post, but I can only do six at a time. I'm amazed I got this far-we are all home sick today and poor little Alex just feels miserable and wants to be held all day. The boys are feeling okay though. They better because they ARE going to school tomorrow!

Did you get my package?

a strange sight....

Well, for anyone that hasn't already figured it out, the animals are Crowley childeren numbers 6,7 & 8. Mom and dad..well okay not so much dad but definitly mom treats all of them, especially zoogie, like her babies! i will often walk into a room and find mom starring down at zoogie and laughing at how cute he is being as he stretches and purrs on the couch. Whenever he walks into the room mom immediatly runs over and picks him up, often knocking me over as shes on her way to zoogie. Well, this is a problem not only because mom is turning into one of those grandma's that love cats but because since i don't have much on my plate right now so i've been hanging out at home a lot and i've been around mom and her new boyfriend (zoogie) a little too much. Yesterday, mom and i were on a walk and we wanted to play a trick on my brother duncan so we hid behind some trees and waited for him to find us...only after he found me i was thinking how that was the type of game i would play with cam or caitlin..and then i knew it was too late...i have accepted the animals as my sibilings!! anyways, so it's fun being home with the other three kids! Well, mom was on her way to work this morning and i thought she was gone but she ran back in panting and told me i needed to go look at my brothers sleeping on her bed! haha so i did and this is what i saw!!

Lizzie's birthday

Lizzie had a good birthday (well, I think she did)...even if you can't tell from these very grumpy pictures. Lizzie just woke up from her nap a little bit before dinner and was still in groggy mode. That wore off pretty quick as dinner went on and she saw we were having a made-for-Lizzie dinner of homemade mac-n-cheese, diced up lunch meat, peas and applesauce. She loved it!! She got a new shirt and jacket from mom and dad and a toy block from her and Caitlin's blocks (Caitlin wanted to give her a present, so she chose a block and wrapped it up- Lizzie loved it!!!)

The cake was a scrumptious cake carrot with cream cheese frosting- not from a box!! It's a really really really good and super easy recipe from a friend that truly makes box carrot cakes taste like cardboard.

Anyhoo, these are just a few birthday ones and some from the last week or so:

One day while Caitlin was still napping, Lizzie was playing outside and I was in the kitchen. I looked out later and she had hoisted her little chair on top of the big one and was just chillin' on it, checking out the scene. It was so cute!
