Wyatt's 6 month Photos

Here are some of Wyatt's 6 month photos. I can't believe he is 6 months old already. Angela Tritle (the photographer) was commenting on how big he is, and then she was surprised to find out that he was only a little over 5 lbs when he was born. Now he has Michalen man rolls, I told you he would get bigger mom! He has his 6 month well baby in Jan. I will let you all know how it goes. Here are the pictures. Hope everyone enjoys them as much as I did. Angela did an amazing job.

Christmas 2009

I had a professional photographer friend, Angela Tritle, take some pictures of the kids last night. Here are just a couple that she has done since last night. I thought they turned out pretty cute. What do you think? I will post more as she gets them done. Enjoy!

Water Baby

Wyatt is definitely our "Water Baby." When we take him in to the bathroom and take his diaper off, he is kicking his legs and flailing his arms before he even hits the water. I swear he was part fish. He needed a bath last night and decided to take some pictures of him, I think we were more wet than he was by the end of it. He has such a great personality and is so much fun. If I am having a bad day all I have to do is look at him and he makes everything seem so much better. His toothless grin is priceless. We have been very blessed to have him in our family.


This is my favorite picture of them all.


He actually sat long enough for me to get a picture that didn't have a funny or silly face.



He is always smiling at anything and everyone that will pay attention.

Crafty Side

Tashina, Phillip's sister, celebrated her 22nd birthday on the 30 of Oct. Debbie had a craft that she wanted to do. It a homemade toilet paper holder. You use the big round metal coffee cans (we used the cans of Tomatoe sauce that she got from work, they got them from Sams), a towel (we just got a cheap towel from Wal-Mart), a hot glue gun, and flowers or other things to decorate it. She has her bathroom decorated in Lilacs so that's what we decided to for the flowers on the can. Here is a picture. I also did a can for me for my bathroom, mine is done in country fishing. I thought they both turned out really cute. Tashina had a good birthday, we got her a sentsy warmer and 3 sentsy bars for her warmer, a gift certificate to get a 30 massage, homemade bathsalts, and the toilet paper holder. We took her out to Chili's for her birthday and gave her the presents there. She seemed very grateful.



So when mom and dad were up in July after Wyatt was born they showed me how to make triangle binding for the blankets. My brother Kyle and his wife Tamara are having a baby in Nov. so I decided to make a baby blanket and some burp cloths and a bib. It was a lot of fun to do. It was so much fun in fact that I decided for Christmas I was making all 4 kids a blanket, pajamas, and a robe for Christmas. I went to Joanns and they had all of their snuggle flannel for under $3.00 a yard and their fleece was on sale to. I was able to get all of the fabric for everything (blankets, pajamas, and robes for all 4 kids) for under $50.00. It should be fun, I started making the robes this last week. You have to almost start this early with Christmas when you have 4 of everything to make. Hope you all enjoy the pictures of the baby blanket.

Halloween 2009

Here are some pictures of the kids on Halloween 2009. Liberty was a Cheerleader, Lily was a Clown, Cheyenne was a Tiger, and Wyatt was a Scarecrow. I made Cheyenne and Wyatt's costumes and Liberty's Pom, Poms. Lily wanted to be a Clown and had no idea how to make it, so I got a store bought one for $5. I couldn't make one for that. Anyway enjoy the pictures!

Fall Pictures

What an adventure! I decided to make use of my camera and take my kids pictures this year instead of paying to have them done. I got a couple of cute shots but Cheyenne was being a little stinker and would look away everytime I snapped the picture, or she would look at me but someone else would look away. Debbie helped keep the kids in line so that they looked semi ok. Hope you all enjoy the pictures.

Pictures of the girls

Cheyenne is our little adventurer, every time I turn around I have to pull her off of the table or make sure the bathroom door is closed so that she isn't playing in the toilet. She loves to get into things that she is not supposed to be in. She has gotten very independent in the last little while, but her personality is a pretty cute one.


Lily is getting so big, the potty training has been very successful. She still has an accident once in a while but she is finally catching on. Every day we take Liberty to school, Lily says she wishes that she could go to. Hopefully they will have a slot for her in November. We will have to wait and see, but it looks promising.


Liberty is doing really well, she loves school and every Friday gets upset because she can't go for at least 3 days. She goes to school Monday thru Thursday from noon to four. It has been interesting to she her blossom into a very independent 5 year old. She has been a huge help with her sisters and brother. I can't believe my oldest is getting so big.

Pictures of Wyatt

I was taking some snapshots of Wyatt last night. I thought they turned out pretty cute. There are some pictures that I was taking that he looks alot like my brother Kyle did when he was a baby. He is getting so big, I can't believe he is 4 months old already. Let me know what you think.

New Camara

I have been wanting to get a newer camera for a while now, but we just haven't been able to afford the one that I wanted. I went into town and found the one I wanted on sale. Gotta love sales. I absolutely LOVE it!!! Mom and I went on a walk and I took some pictures. ENJOY!!
