A few of our favorite things.

Ok, so maybe its more like- "an excuse to blog with pictures I just got off my camera." 

But in al seriousness, after browsing through the photos, 1 thing popped in my mind....

These are all of our favorite things right now!!! 

Stetson James:

Loves drinking with a straw.

 is overly obsessed and in love with electronics.

WIith each kid I'm like-- ok, seriously, there is NO way my next kid could possibly be more obsessed with "electronics" then that next kid blows the last outta the water.

 Loves food. and yes, he's standing on the counter looking in the "pantry" and no I don't care!

 Loves, loves, LOVES his ba-ba. Oh my soul, that kid watches you pour milk into his bottle and he just grins and laughs like you're pouring liquid gold. I think that will make it harder to take it away from him.

 Miss Priss:

loves the Iphone. How on earth did I ever live without it?!?! All those fun Apps.... and NETFLIX.... on mama's phone??? Say it ain't so?!? She loves to watch her own little private movie all by herself. And yes, she can work that thing better then 50% of the ppl who own them.

 We've been living LOVING the outside. Quite possibly me more than them?? It just seems like they all get along so well and have so much fun together outside. Not to mention I know I might (apart from checking on them) get 30 minutes to do what I wanna do. I might even just sit my butt in my chair and watch somethin on TV!

My pretty blue eyed babygirl loves anything on wheels!

I love the evening time as the sun is going down. Its just so beautiful... and most of the time were outside to be able to watch it.

Madelynn has finally mastered  her "power wheels" that we bought her a million years ago! She has really enjoyed riding it around... (and I can't wait to get her a BIG one for Christmas this year!!!)

RAIN!! It rained and was cold, dark, gloomy for almost 2 days straight! It was magnificent. There was mud everywhere!! Lets just say between letting the dogs in and out, a husband who doesn't take his boots off till he crawls into bed at night, and kids running in and out, I swept, vacuumed and mopped A LOT for a few days. Were (I'm) just now recovering from all the mud!!

I knew Nathaniel had a good day when he got home and his truck looked like this: (which doesn't do it justice)

He was grinnin from ear to ear and I knew that he thoroughly enjoyed driving down muddy roads all day.

Axel man... well he is just that. He's the man. I just love that dog. As I've mentioned before 1 of the main reasons we got these pups was for protection... and he does just that! If the kids are outside he is always up on his guard.... as you can see:

He stays right beside them and is constantly looking around, watching, waiting. He loves to chase rabbits, and he is soo close to catching one. Not that I want him to.... but there's no stoppin that dude when he's rabbit chasing.

Along with sunsets, another thing that I love is sunflowers. They're just so..... beautiful. If I could have vases all over my house full of sunflowers all day, every day, I'd do it! I just love them. So awhile back when Nat and I were weeding our garden (that never grew) After all was said and done he proceeded to tell me those were sunflowers. Grrr... I was pretty upset that we had just pulled up the beginnings of my favorite flower. So I hoped that they'd grow back and some have!! I love walking out the front door and seeing them. Can't wait till they produce enough flowers for me to pick.

This is one my my favorite things. ;)

Stetson loves to climb. Like he tries to climb anything.... and 99% of the time, he can mange to get where he wants to be by climbing. So far we've found him:

On the dinner table

on the toilet

on any chair

the couches.... up into the windowsill 

up on any bed.

climbing up the baby gate.

in the bathtub

Its pretty funny to see him as the girls NEVER dreamed of climbing anything!! 

Here he is climbing the girls bed. He's pretty darn quick getting up there and he thinks he is thebomb.com when he gets up there.... 

and then we do it all again. Over and over and over and over and over again.

and  I feel kinda sorry for him cuz Its like he has 3 mama's... and this pic just proves it.

Here are his sisters "helping" me get Stetson to look at the camera. Meanwhile he's actually sitting still and smiling and they're desperately trying to get Bubba to look at the camera. (and no I didn't ask them to do this.)

a couple of not so favorite things going on right now. TEETH! Madelynn complained of her mouth bothering her and asked me what "this" was in her mouth. Upon evaluation, I saw that she had a molar coming in! Payton is also getting her molars and she has had a low grade fever for a couple days now Not fussy, but just clingy. Stetson.... well he is another sad, sad story. Holy cow. For such a lovable little boy who is NEVER unhappy or upset he turns into a very unpleasant little guy. Naps are  few and far between making him even more cranky! 

So the JBF sale is this Oct in San Angelo and I've finally come to terms with parting with some of my clothes. (Some because I'm still saving 1/2 for my SIL) So I've had to go through the winter clothes.... and I have 3... yes 3 HUGE tubs full of just GIRLS winter clothes. To justify that ridiculousness, I do have 2 girls, and girl clothes are really, really, REALLY cute and hard to pass up???? 

Its sad. I really could clothe an army of 1 year olds. I've spent the last 3 days going through stuff and I've set aside some, washed, dried, hung and tagged others and in the 3 days.... I've only done 0-12 months. Granted, I do have kids that need me and don't allow me to sit in the back room for too long by myself to just go till the job is done. When I finished with the last bit, I did not have the energy or the mindset to go at it again for the 12-24 months. Alls I gots to say is I hope all this stuff sells cuz 1.) we could make a lot of money to pay off debt (hooray for the new and revised Rose budget)  2.) buy winter clothes for the2 out my 3 children who need them!! and 3.) I don't think I'd be sad if I never saw these clothes again!!!! Anywhoo... Nat's off for the next 4 days so I'm hoping with his help with the kids, I can knock out the next round of clothes.

oh and P.S....Another favorite thing..... when going out to the shed to get the kids old clothes, I spotted my Fall decor... and I couldn't resist!!!!  Well I kinda did. I told myself I would let it stay in the garage till it actually felt like fall outside. Hard, because it was right in the middle of that cold front and I wasn't gonna give in cuz I knew it would warm right up.... well......

I gave in. and I love every minute of it!! I even got a fall candle burning. Mmmm its smells and looks so yummy. have I ever told you hoe much I LOVE fall?!?! 'cuz I do!!

P.S.S... I just read back and realize this has WAAYY more Stetson than the girls and that is NOT because I love him more, but simply because the girls do not let me take their picture all to often.... and Stetson is kinda a camera ham. The End.
