Rocky finally got to meet some family! My brother and his family came to see us all the way from Virginia! It was so good to be with family. My kids loved to be with cousins!!!!
We love to make homemade pretzals! Man are they yummy. Especially when you coat them in butter, cinnamon, and sugar!!!

I just had my 6 week appointment. I absolutely love Dr. Watters (Aegis) and her darling nurse Erica. When I walked out of the office, I felt like I was walking away from some great friends. Thanks ladies!!!
I ahve had the hardest time getting all three of my kids in one picture at the same time. I did it!!! Cooper hasn't wanted to hold Rocky much, so when he did I had to get a picture!

Going crazy....want to come?

Rocky is getting so big. I wish I could just freeze him in time, he is absolutely scrumptious! He is now 10 lbs 14 oz! His 0-3 month clothes are getting too small! I feel like he is one of those toys that expands when you put them in water and they grow right before your very eyes!

(Dang it, I had a great picture that needed to be cropped of Rocky loving the shower. Now that I have made him more modest I can't get it back)

Speaking of water...Rocky LOVES taking showers and baths. He is a fish!
There have been 7 Hoosier Babies born in the past 8 weeks (2 of them are missing from the picture)! The "Hoosier Mommas" got together for lunch. Rocky doesn't realize how happy he should be in this picture surrounded by all of these lovely ladies! I love his shirt, it say "IU fan since birth".
Cooper loves to classify and sort things. The teacher in me LOVES it when he does stuff like this.
Lake Lemon (it sure made me want a Lemon Bar)
I love having a twin who is just as crazy as her momma! We went to a Mary Kay party together right before this photo was taken, that is why we look like we are wearing stage makeup. I am so happy to have my gal to do girly things with!
We have had beautiful weather lately (the calm before the storm, I am sure!). Yesterday we went to Lake Lemon and played on the beach. It is funny how my kids could be just as happy on this tiny, goose poop covered beach as they would be in Hawaii!

I became a great aunt yesterday!!! My nephew Ben and his darling wife had a baby boy. It is crazy that I am a mom x 3 and a great aunt all within 6.5 weeks. I told Ruby that Papa is now a great grandpa. She got a sad look on her face and asked who would be her Papa now. I assured her that he will be her Papa forever and that he just keeps getting better.

Crazy story#1
3 years ago we had an old beater Honda Accord that we loved dearly that was STOLEN out of the CHURCH parking lot while we were at the Christmas party. That is crazy in itself but get this; a few days ago my dad's girlfriend, Sharon, same car+same party+same location= stolen car! Hopefully her story will have a happy ending like ours did and they will find the car. I told Ruby the story and she said, "There sure are a lot of Criminals....at CHURCH!"

Crazy story #2
We got a threatening letter from Matt's insurance company this week letting us know that he would loose coverage if his outstanding balance was not paid within the next 30 days. I panicked until I saw the amount of $.04!!!! I have had several very generous friends offer to cover it for me:)

Crazy story #3
Last but not least. Rocky and I were on a walk the other day. I saw something out of the corner of my eye and turned to look. There was a BUCK with large antlers running right at us! Luckily he saw us and changed his course or y'all would be singing Chris Rich got ran over by a reindeer!

hALloWeEn!!!









Warning, this post is rated G because every picture contains GLUCOSE!!!! Wow, what a SWEET weekend we had! We went trick or treating 4 different times and have 4 gallon ziploc bags stuffed with CaNDy!!! Ruby was a cat at all of the events and Cooper changed from Obiwan, Venom, Batman and Superman. Rocky was a bear cub named dROCKula and I was (am) a WITCH!

We have a tradition of graphing all of our loot. Laffy Taffy was the winner this year followed closely by Kit Kats (my favorite). Another tradition we have is a festive Halloween meal. I carved oranges into jack-o-lanterns (which took about an hour btw) Cooper got on my black list because he said they weren't scary enough!!!

We spent Friday in Indianapolis wanting to do the tourist thing. If was raining so hard we spent most of our time at the mall in Payless enjoying the 1/2 off deal from Oprah. Funny we could have stayed right here in B-town to enjoy that deal, but then we couldn't have enjoyed the Nestle Toll House Shop! Ahhhh..............sugar!!
