Halloween 2009

So, this year all the Self Boys and Lombard Boys were pirates. I realized when I uploaded these pictures that I had Ashley's camera when I took pics. So, I have some good ones on there of all the kids too...maybe I'll post later. We didn't dress Harley as anything...she slept the entire time! Lawson literally ate a sucker for two hours. He just kept trading them out. Jax ran the whole time. I seriously don't think he stopped at all! It was loads of fun. All the boys have so much fun when they're together. And, honestly, its just easy.

Boys loving on Harley

I think this is the first real pictures I have of Harley with Tyler or Blake. They are both so sweet to all my kids. They are always so helpful to me with Lawson and Jax. Since Harley is showing some personality, they have started asking to hold her. It's so precious. I hope they are all so 'protective' over her! I mean, there's got to be some advantage to having 6 older boy cousins and 2 older brothers, right??

Loving the park

Harley's dedication

Last weekend after my birthday celebration, we dedicated Harley. Jeremy did an excellent job in the chaos. I had to watch the video to know what was said. (I guess that's life now). Lawson was bringing me the lightening McQueen car - as it was making loud noises- the whole ceremony. Harley is truly a little blessing in our life. She's so go with the flow and chill. Dont' get me wrong, she loves to be held a lot. I can't wait to learn more about her personality and see the role she plays in our family. God is so good. He has given us three healthy babies, and for that I will always give him praise. We love you Harley Jane.

The BIG 30

Well, as Wade keeps reminding me...I'm 30 now. We all celebrated at Kobe last week. The kids loved it! Parker wasn't too much of a fan. But Jax and Lawson loved seeing the fire.

Austin Children's Museum

Ashley, the kids and I went to the Austin Children's Museum the other day. It was a lot of fun. The boys loved it. Harley enjoyed herself too - just chilled in the stroller. At one point during the trip, I coulnd't find Lawson. He had made his way back to the drums for the third or fourth time! Jax loved just hanging out with Sam.

Doing Life

I honestly can't even remember when a couple of these were taken. I usually don't put bibs on kids, but Harley is becoming a slobberer like Lawson was, much to my dismay. I guess I'd rather see a bib than a sopping wet shirt - which Lawson has a lot!
