Recently At the Crockett's

Recently at the Crockett's, life has been pretty normal BUT there have been moments.

So here they are.

Walking down the hallway to my room the other day, I was asked not to look into the girls' room by a very confident 5 year old that wanted to surprise me with her pretty outfit. When given permission to look after she was fully primped I found a princess in place of Novalee.

Can you see the boxes of makeup and jewelry she has behind her? That's not even everything. She's a very interesting mix of a tomboy/girly girl. I kind of love it.

During the time she was dressing up, a young fan of hers admired her from afar.

It's a mixed feeling that I have for Sadie's growing admiration of her older sister. :)

Wesley had a birthday! Yay! I was lame and forgot to get him a birthday card or even make him a cake or even breakfast in bed, which he does every year for me without fail. So to try to make up for it I spent a little time writing this lovely message for him only to have it rain before he could see it.

(Good thing I'm familiar with Oregon weather and took a picture before it was ruined. Proof that I'm a good wifie). :)

I've ALWAYS been Sadie's favorite until recently. Every now and again, lately she has preferred Wesley. Whatevs. It sort of bugs me...haha. Good thing it wasn't the other way around, I wouldn't have been able to handle her ALWAYS preferring him. :) The other day she just wanted to snuggle Dad and watch TV. Here's Wes relishing the moment with his little girl. :)

The other day we celebrated Oreo's 100th Birthday. All the kids love Oreo's. Wes doesn't really care for them but this time I froze them and he couldn't get enough of them either.

Here the girls are helping mommy eat them up.

This picture of Sadie makes me laugh because it's just about how I feel whenever I eat oreo's because I tend to eat A LOT when I have good intentions of just having one or two.

Please note the belly sticking out of her shirt, yep that's totally how I feel. But they are so oh oh Good!

Two weeks ago Jared brought home a cold with him from school. Then Novalee got it and then Sadie. It hit Sadie the hardest since she wasn't able to clear her throat as well.

Because I'm sick (in the head) ;) here are some lovely pictures of what sick babies are capable of.

She did try to wipe it up with her blanket. :) Which we thought was pretty sweet. Let's just say we no longer own that couch (we had plans to get a new one anyways).

Here is my favorite moment. About a week ago I walked into our room to see Wesley trying on this sweatshirt.

Naturally a little bit of a Miss Need to Know It All, I asked, "Honey, whatcha doing?"

And here is the best part. He replied, "I was trying this sweatshirt on to see if it was worth keeping."

What? Do you really HAVE to try on something like this to know whether or not it's worth keeping?

Just look at it!

Haha! He's too funny!

After looking at all these pictures of the last little bit I am just wondering one little thing. Where's Jared? I need to remember to get more pictures of him. Though if I did it would probably be of him wanting to take pictures of his new Skylanders. :) I do have some really fun video of him dancing, which makes me feel a little less guilty for not taking pictures. :)

One thing I would like to note about Jared is that we got his report card on Friday and it was ALL improvements! We are very proud of all his hard work in school and how much he is learning!
