Day 11 ( and 8 and 9 and 10... oops)

2 Flashback Friday pictures--
sweetest thing ever



 School Morning -



 Science Fair - 







Jack's writing - 

Colin bought Jack Brian Urlacher's new children's book. "This book is awesome. A football player wrote the book. It's called Middle School Rules. I am ordering the book."

I'm told this is a Notre Dame football player. "What are you  doing? Playing football. Hike One, Hike Two, Hike Three. Pass, pass, throw it."

Days 6 and 7

I don't have any new pictures today. Since I'm always down for going through old photos, I'm sharing an old picture taken in February 2010, when only-child-Jack fell asleep in his cozy coupe.


And here's one from February 2011, the 2 sweeties playing together. 


And lastly, couldn't leave out baby Erin, taken in February 2012. TIME FLIES!!!



Sour Cream Noodle Bake - We've been making this so often lately. Plus it freezes well, so I always make 1 dish to eat that night and 1 to freeze for later. We only do about 1/2 of the green onion it calls for and I put extra meat and extra tomato sauce in it. 

Meatloaf -  We all love this recipe!!

Days 4 and 5

Yesterday was super busy, and so I skipped blogging. I had a maternity shoot in the evening, and here are a few that I edited last night. 




Grace was asleep, and Erin was going to pretend to be sleeping, but she couldn't contain the smile. :)


Celebrating the big win this week with our Purdue outfits, and I had to include my black and gold shoes, too!


Colin had taken the kids to the park, and I was doing the grocery shopping for the week yesterday. When I returned home, this is what greeted me at the front door. The dogs usually stay out back on nice days, but apparently he wanted some new scenery. 


Our Day Today: 

 All of Gracie's babies this morning-

Jack was writing in church this morning when Colin glanced over to see this. He wrote out the Our Father. Missed some parts, but overall pretty good! 

After church we went to Panera and got bagels. It was such a beautiful day that we sat outside.




 Then I had noon mass nursery duty, so the girls and I went to do that. Here is a picture from the "picnic" we had at the church playground.


Next we met up with Colin and Jack at the Farmer's Market. Jack got a bag of tangelos. We got mini donuts, Italian sausage, Kona ice slushies, chips, hot dogs, etc. etc. They like to eat!


Since then we've just been doing laundry, cleaning, relaxing, and hanging out at home getting ready for another week!
