The Marshall's classic atempt to take family pictures, hehehe
 Nice butt Keelie.  Kirsten is way too excited!
 Maya practicing her karate
 Don't know what uncle bill is doing. Mckay, you have a great gut.
 Maya if you don't turn right now I am going to...
 Hey we did it, kind of
Captin John, you look wonderful!


Our trip to Idaho was wonderful!  Mckay only cried through 90% of the drive, Thank goodness he was with us because I don't know what we would have done to stay busy for 44 hours in the car otherwise.  (He's lucky we didn't leave him in Wyo)  Speaking of Wyoming, I can decide if I am proud or disgusted, but 4 of the 5 members of our family peed on the side of the road in that wonderful state!  Well except for Maya, she decided to poop instead!!!!!! Jordon drew that short stick, and I, being the good wife, handed him some wet wipes and got our my camera!  Jordon is such a great dad.  
I would also like to thank my Favorite Aunt Diane who taught my girls "I am a mean old witch with a hat"  I have been singing that song with actions in a few different stores because I can' t get it out of my head.  Once again Diane, thanks!  
 45 degree Wyoming wind is cold on the cheeks.
 Maya being her usual clean self
 Mckay looooves black beans.  One bit up advice I have to share is the importance of  cleaning it off while its wet!  If not is turns to concrete.
 I love naked bath pictures
 We love going to the pumpkin patches here in IL,  This one was great.  They had baby kitties running all over the place.  Addie is turning into our animal lover!!!  ( I am so excited)  Jordon told me I can't have a cat but I want to see him tell that to Addie when she really starts to beg.  I won't encourage it of course.  bahahahha For now she's content with knowing she can "get one when she moves out." She doesn't understand what that means, I think.

 Our wonderful neighbor Natalie.  Her dad is the Pastor at a Church down the road, and they have a wonderful Halloween carnival that we have gone to for the last two years. 


 Mckay wanting to get a good look at the camera.  (sorry, random order)
 The girls with Rae Jean, their surrogate GRANDMA. 
 Mckay's new found talent.  We call it the tripod
 He is not crawling like this, but he just puts his head down and waits for people to look between his legs.  Addie and Maya love playing this game with him.
 Addie is just not as cute in that pose
 Addie's costume parade at school.
 Jordon looked at me like I was smoking something when I asked him to put Mckay in his horse costume, but being the good husband he is he did it anyway. I can honestly say Mckay was in and out of his costume in 3 minutes.

 The girls waiting for the trick or treating to begin. 
 I just love this picture. 
I had the girls in the bath and stripped Mckay naked in his room thinking he would head straight to the tub, but I was wrong.  He needed to make sure he was hydrated before getting in the water.  He also felt the need to mark his territory. 

Every one always wants to know Maya's latest, so here it is:

Addie: Gross, mom and dad, stop kissing.
Mom: would you rather us fight?
Addie: No! that would not be good.
Maya:  I want to see you two battle.  I want to see who would win.  Battle, mom and dad, battle.

FiRsT DaY oF ScHOol

Addie's first day of School.  We had to talk her into letting Jordon walk her to school.  She wanted to do it all on her own.  The problem was she didn't  know where her class was.   






 Lady's bring on the birthday cake cuz I am oNE!!
 Addie's broken arm.  Dad and Maya the first to sign it.

We buzzed Mckay's hair. 
 We spent labor day with some friends.  There was fishing and Canoe riding.  If you have ever been around 4 or 5 kids all fishing at the same time I would not recommend it.  I am sad to say we didn't catch one fish, but I am happy to say we didn't catch a single person. 
Mckay loves straws
We are all doing wonderful.  Addie gets her cast off in 7 days.  The novelty is wearing off and she is ready for it to come off.  Maya is loving the time home with out Addie.  Maya can get a word in now.  Mckay has been a little more easy going.  Lets just all pray he stays that way.  Jordon is work hard.  He is on peds sedation right now so we get to see him a little more which has been a blessing because I have thrown my back. I am slowly getting better after Narcotics, muscle relaxers, ibuprofen, 5 different injections into my back and three trips to the Chiropractor.  Thank goodness for my neighbor Rea Jean.  She has gone with me to Mckay doctor appts, She didn't want me driving when she found out all the meds I was taking.  (probably smart)  She took me to my Chiropractor appt and made us dinner.  She is a God sent. I am glad to say today I can pick Mckay up with only a little pain.  To all of you who have back pain I feel for you now, it SUCKS!!!
