Sock Monkey

Wow, how did this happen???? This picture loader thing is being weird on me tonight. Anyway, you will notice in most pictures anymore that Cullen likes to accessorise with socks...only not on his feet. He does NOT like them on his feet but, rather, on his arms! Can't figure out why......

Kelley Family Pumpkin Day 2010

I LOVE this shot of Cedric and Liam! Every year for the past few years the Kelley side of the family has had a pumpkin day. Usually we combine it to celebrate Trisha's birthday too. This year we didn't go to a pumpkin patch but we hung out at Jeremy's parents house and had loads of fun! I'm pretty sure that this year was the best so far....we did a ton of stuff! Magnets, cookies, and homemade pizza too!

We had halloween cut-out cookies to decorate. The frosting was awesome....and I don't normally like frosting. Liam really had a good time with the sprinkles! haha!

This was Eden and Chase's first time hanging out together!
They were both really good babies for us.

Asher wanted me to take a picture of his playdoh creation which he says is a robot. hmmmm.....I think I might see some hints of robot in there I guess. Anyway, that's home made playdoh, the boys had fun playing with that.

We made candycorn people.......

Owen hung out in a tree.........

we played in the leaves and the swing......

we carved pumpkins!!!!

Tristan really stepped it up this year with his carving! He did two pumpkins and they both turned out amazing!

WE tye-dyed tshirts.....

we had ice cream cake for Trisha's birthday........

we roasted marshmellows.......

Just how many people does it take to light all the candles on Trisha's cake?!?!?! haha!

Tristan Makes Us Proud

I sent Tristan to the mailbox a couple of weeks ago and he came in holding a letter and looking confused/scared. The letter he was holding was addressed to The Parents of Tristan Kelley and came from Carthage Middle School. I took the letter and read it. He had just been talking to me about his origami business he started with some friends at school. So instead of telling him what the letter really said, I told him that he was been summoned to the next school board meeting to answer to allegations of operating a business illegally on school property! He looked like he was gonna crap his pants so I couldn't keep it going for long. HA! Anyway, what the letter really said was that he was being asked to the next school board meeting to be honored for achieving an "Exceeds" score on last years ISAT tests. What that means is that he scored higher than most other students in the state of Illinois!! Way to Go Tristan!!!

Can't Wait!!!!!!

Tomorrow we are heading to St. Louis for the show!!!! Can't freaking wait!! So stinkin excited! Now if only I didn't have this whole mouth problem still....UGH!

My Face

I'm pretty sure the oral surgeon made it so I can never smile all the way again. My face is still bruised and slightly swollen. And it hurts bad. This vicodin prescription is gonna have to be refilled me thinks. What's up with all the pain? Apparently Cedric told Debbie that I was laying on the laundry room floor the other day and I was on drugs! That's just GREAT! I was laying on the laundry room floor which is right off the dining room watching the kids eat lunch because I took the vicodin and it made me rather dizzy. Joy. Let's hope he's not telling this to random people.

Cookie Comment

Asher said:
"I should get milk and put it in my cookie. That would be a good thing."

I'm making cookies today.

The New Meow-Meow

HA! If you are a Big Brother fan then you will get the title. Anyway, we have a new kitten. She was hanging around Grandma Kelley's one morning when Jeremy went to pick up the boys. I've been wanting a new kitty anyway. The boys wanted a pet too. We can't think of a good name. She is a weird little thing and likes to sleep with her head stuffed in the kitty pillow. She's really friendly and likes to cuddle though. Any suggestions for names???

The Spider On My Lamp

There was some loose strand of thread or something similar hanging out the top of my lamp shade and it was blowing in the breeze from my ceiling fan. I thought for sure it was a giant spider crawling out from behind the shade until I finally got up and touched the darn thing. On a related note, I am full of vicodin after having mouth surgery today.

The AM Hours

This morning I got up at 5:00AM to go on a walk.......either I am insane or stupid, I'll let the reader decide. Anyway, it was really dark.....and cold. I took Tristan with me because he and Cedric were up anyway watching Dirty Jobs on Discovery. I don't know if I'll do that again. I would rather walk at midnight. But, I got to show Tristan some constellations so that was cool. We had a nice talk and when we got home I made breakfast for everyone.

Eden Again....

Last week I got Eden's Pictures taken. This is one of the outfits that she wore. I can't wait to get the pics back! they are going to be cute for sure! Eden is growing by leaps and bounds! She likes to have us prop her up so she can look around and she's starting to grab at things! Especially my hair! Why can you never leave your hair down as a mom? Or wear jewelry?

I love this dress that Sarah gave her! Too bad it was to chilly without something underneath it! It's super cute either way though!

Fun With Asher And Cullen

One day near the beginning of October I picked Asher up from school (he's done at 10:45) and we went to McVeigh's Pumpkin Patch. side note: we will be going as a family on friday. Anyway, it was really nice out so we went there and got 9 mini pumpkins, two small and 1 good size one for carving and only spent $6!!! And Cullen and Asher each got a free halloween pail!

New Baby Boy!

Jeremy's sister, Trisha had her baby boy on October 9th at 4:25pm! They named him Chase Patrick Mitchell! He's just too cute! He weighed in at 8 pounds 4 ounces which is exactly what Eden weighed, and was 21 inches long. We were so excited for her and Josh! Now the craziness begins for them too! haha!

My Naughty Boy

Just a few more random pics of Cullen being naughty. One of his favorite past times is stealing popsicles from the freezer...then running outside to eat them secretly. He has started jabbering away pretty much all the time now. He repeats me all the time now so I have to watch what I say!
