Lora and Cole Keep Spencer's Life Exciting!

This is a triple trouble combo. This toilet paper spread throughout the whole house happend while I was working on my blog the first time. It is no wonder I don't do it more often!
Funny Cole!


Lovely Lora knows she gets good reactions when she plays with her big brothers game boy!
Today while I was showering I came out to see she had a tube of hemroid creme and was smearing it on the walls of our newly painted and carpeted front room. It's a good thing we love her!



Out of Order But Fun Beginnings With Spencer

What is the best medicine for really tired parents of a new born and five other busy kids?
Just have Aunt GiGi come and help for a week! My kids still say she is super lady! I am a little behind on my laundry and Sam recommended that I call Gina and ask her to come and visit again to get me back up to speed! She was amazing! My kids and hubby had hot breakfast every morning and lunches nicely packed. They didn't even have to race for the school bus. David had a little bit of a rough time - he left our house with a black eye and two or three goose eggs. I also did a whopper and took several wrong turns when getting Gin and David to the airport and made them miss their flight. Oh well, keeps life exciting! How grateful we were for them coming.



Grandma and Grandpa Stevens Fabulous Visit!










Grandma gave Spencer a bath but unfortunetly he hates being cold so he screams!!!





Grandma and Spencer like this rocking and snuggling much better!






Grandpa was a hit. He came and took a Cole, Josh and C.J. to the coast crabbing. They didn't catch anything but they had fun.







How great it is to have Grandma and Grandpa visit. We were spoiled! I got to sleep in, and got help with laundry, meals ,soccer games, and baby relief. The worst part is when they leave.



Pictures With Grandma and Grandpa Cahoon were taken with their camera and will have to added later. We had a great visit from them too!

My sweet hubby kept tradition and bought me flowers. Since we weren't really prepared for Spencer to come three weeks early, C.J. had to do a lot of last minute jobs for me. I didn't get flowers from him at the hospital so I thought they might be waiting at home. We got home and no flowers - bummer! The little kids were at a friends and the big boys at school so C.J. and I decided to take a nap. C.J. told me he was putting "do not disturb" signs on the doors. In reality he was giving directions to our friend the florist to come on in and leave the flowers on the table. What a great surprise to wake up to! Way to to pull through hubby. These were my favorite roses ever. They lasted two weeks beautifully!









This looks like a very complete family to me!


This is the first picture of all of us together.


The boys were showing their Halloween costumes to Grandma and Grandpa.
