I do believe in Fairies! I do believe in Fairies!

Last night was the annual Halloween Festival at school.

We had so much fun getting all dolled up into fairies... Mom, Dad, Aunt Ree and Uncle Will were all in the kitchen with Adeleine, Josie and AnnaKate while I was putting the finishing touches on the big girls..

Then I hear Aunt REE: "I don't believe in fairies",

then THUD down goes Adeleine, "dropping dead", on the floor, still as a dead fairy.....

then someone would say after some time...."I do believe in fairies".... then slowly she would "come alive"..... then louder..."I do believe in Fairies"....Addie, more alive....then louder..I DO BELIEVE IN FAIRIES".... Adeleine is up and ALIVE!running around ! YIPEEEE!!!
we did this about a million times before we headed off for the festival!! hahah...

Evie's favorite part about Halloween was giving out her candy "prizes" that she won,

"here ya go, Happy Halloween", she would say to:
1.her little friend boy from school,
2.a little 10 month old baby,

3.every classmate that she saw,

she gave them candy..so benevolent..her little heart swelling with goodness... and everytime she would do it she would look at me so PROUD...she knows how it impresses me when they "put others before themselves" - that is like our family mantra! So I was especially pleased when Addie popped her butterfly balloon, Addie started to have a meltdown....

and Evie proud as ever, stepped up to the plate and gave Addie her pink butterfly balloon!!!!
...she looked up at me with those baby blues and just smiled!! She knew I was so PROUD! My heart was swellin' too!!

Bella was flittin' around, in lala land.. (she takes after me) miss social butterfly fairy!! She will make friends with the whole world! Her favorite part was the horse ride and being chased by Hasting and Mills! AND OF COURSE eating cotton candy! I thought she would just die if she didn't get any! And when she saw her teacher, mrs. karen, she almost tackled her down.. she loves that lady!

Josie's favorite part about Halloween was PAWEE! She and Paw hung out the whole time and visited. Then Paw let her pinch and feel his face and then Josie went to sleep on Paw's shoulder... He is such a good Pawee! Josie also had fun walkbouncing with mr. craig! I know some arms were sore that night!! Thanks pawee! you are the best!

OMYGOSH!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS.......Tonight Josie is going to mawee's (the first time for her to be away from me - ever!!! , and the 3 big girls are going camping with grammie and poppa! David and I are headed to New Orleans for the night!! YEAHHHHHH!!! I am a little nervous about being in N.O. on Halloween, with all the voodoo and crazy people! Y'all pray for us!! AND PLEASE PRAY FOR MY BOOBS TOO!!!

Have a Happy Halloween!

Fun at Pine Grove

We always have fun when we get together with the Dawson's. We joke and say that no one else wants to be friends with us b/c we have 4 small, wild, children! hahaha!!Well, they do too, so we can all relax when we get together and not worry if our kids are bothering anybody! Screaming babies, squealing kids, nothing really bothers us! We can hold wonderful, fun conversations amidst all of the chaos, while we are nursing our babies, and while the guys have kids jumping all over them...!!

Last weekend we went to Pine Grove to visit the corn maze. Our favorite part was watching the kids ride in barrels they made to look like cows! It was so cute. Later we had dinner at our favorite restaurant in Amite. I know the waiters and waitresses want to run out the door screaming when they see us coming! Evie almost pushed one of the little waiters down to his surprise!! We are just a WILD bunch... but we LOVE each other. One of these days we will find a babysitter brave enough to keep all of our children so that we can enjoy a nice quiet evening together b/c being around kids is getting to us... just ask RYAN , he told the waiter "Night night" when we were leaving!! hahaha!! But then again, what fun would that be?!?! We wouldn't know how to act!

We LOVE our cousins

Our Cousins came to visit! We had so much fun racing and painting rocks and riding bikes at our Grammie's. We wish they lived closer so that we could play EVERYDAY!

"Pootie Pootwell"

What can I say!!!

She will forever be my one and only

POOTIE POOTWELL

Dancing with the Darts

The Dip




Evie and Bella's version of "the lift" below what technique!!

Our little trailer was Rockin' tonight. As it does every Tuesday night. Four words. Dancing with the Stars. Every Tuesday night, we clear the kitchen floor and it becomes a serious dance floor! Our special judge tonight was little miss Josephine. She can be really tough sometimes in her critiques. We regret to say that one of our better contestants (adeleine) could not make it tonight. She was over at Mawee's cha chaing on their dance floor. She's the one that Evie and Bella better watch. A serious contender! She has some hip action that could put Elvis to shame!

As a former ballroom dancer (1996 USL ballroom dance elective class), I have to say that I am pretty proud of my girls. They have watched my partner, their daddy and I, do plenty of dancing. I can't believe that it has been twelve years since I would come home from Lafayette with a new dance (jitterbug, Tango, waltz, Etc.) to teach my handsome football player partner. We even had "the lift" down pat!! We could put Baby and Johnny to shame! !! Don't get me wrong girls....My husband is NO SISSY, right now, to my dismay, he is watching The Ultimate fighting championship on TV. He really needs that after watching Dancing with the stars and project runway!

I hope and pray that my girls will one day find a partner like mine! One who is not ashamed to dance and sweep his girl off of her feet!! Their is no greater joy in our house than dancing.... we may not have the perfect technique, but in our book we all get PERFECT TENS!!

Pouting Adeleine

Several weekends ago we stayed the night with the Greers. We had so much fun with them as always!! Addie took the liberty of finding some of Hazes underwear to wear b/c she spilled water on hers. Amy and I could'nt contain ourselves when she walked into the living room with her new undies on! She found them herself in Haze's dresser. Later the kids played soccer and Addie pouted a bit b/c of course she could'nt keep up - it's tough being the little one! Don't worry, she finally got her chance to shine!!

TGIF!

Look what we picked after school today! Thank you Lord for the beautiful flowers and Thank you Lord for my beautiful GIRLS!

A word from Josephine Paige Dart

Hey there!

Just letting everyone know that I am now 6 months old now! I am getting to be a Big Healthy Girl at a whopping 18 1/2 pounds! My mawee calls me thunda thighs!! Whatever maw! Pretty soon I will be crawlin' and cruisin', and I might not be thunda thighs anymore, so you better enjoy my thundalicious thighs while I've got them!

Things that I LOVE

1. My sister Adeleine. She calls me Josie GURWA or Josephina. She drives me nuts but she does make me laugh alot! She wishes that she could just squeeze me to death and kiss my head off, but momma won't let her. She always says, "get out of her face addie." Pretty soon, me and Addie, we will be the best of friends, just like Evie and Bella are, tight as tics!! We will surely be a pair!

2. My big sisters. Evie and Bella LOVE ME TO DEATH!! They get in trouble alot for picking me up and packing me around. I am getting heavier now and they are starting to struggle a bit! It worries momma. They just think that I am there very own little baby and they love to make me laugh too! They are so silly and so dern pretty. I know that someday I will look up to them and want to be just like them. They love to dance and cheer right now, so I hear lots of Go wildcat cheers around here!! The craziest part of the day is when we pick them up from school. They get into the suburban and immediately start kissing me a million times. It's like we have been separated forever, but it's only been like 7 hours! They just can't get enough of me and then momma yells from the front seat, "Girl's no more kissing, get out of her face", phew relief!! They just love me so much, they can't help it!

3. My silly daddy, I get a twinkle in my eyes everytime I see him. He calls me 'blessin from above'. That is what he wanted to put on my birth certificate, b/c momma could'nt figure out a middle name suitable for me. It was going to be Josephine Rose (written on my birth certificate and everything) but then my nurse came in and said "Josie Rosie" and then daddy said, Get me some white out!!! ( he thinks rosie odonnel is a little coo coo). So, it is Josephine Paige and my aunt jessi sometimes calls me "J. Pezee." Like a rap star, oh yeah baby that's me, Jaypeeze. word to ya mutha. Anyway, my poor daddy is surrounded by girls. When one of us starts to whine he tells us to" dial 1-800-drama"..He is starting to like girls stuff too, like the other night he was watching momma's favorite show...project runway... and he was saying stuff like, that is so cute, that dress is so pretty, she is definetly going to win, she has good design! my momma just stared at him and then started to laugh. He always makes my momma laugh so much! There is never a dull moment when he is around. He can make my belly and my cheeks hurt from laughing so much at his silliness!! Just ask my big sisters. When daddy tells them stories at night (he makes them up and acts them out) they are roaring laughing at him... he is the BEST daddy!

4.My Momma - a.k.a. Kelli Kleinpeter! I love my momma b/c she knows just what to do. I am her little "poottapot." I love to snuggle with her in the bed. I fit perfectly beside her when I need to nurse or go to sleep. God's perfect design. She tucks my chunky little booty next to her and she kisses my fat little cheeks, my chubby little hands and feels my soft hair and I am in heaven. I also LOVE when I get out of the bath and she puts lotion all over my body and massages me. She always smiles when she sees all of my rolls and the dimples in my booty! My ears stick out like hers and we have the same eyes and same color hair. I wonder if mine will be curly like hers!

Well, that is all for now. I am discovering new things everyday ... like today, when Addie let me borrow her purple tinted sunglasses! Don't I look so cute!

I am loving my family, these people seem to Laugh alot, there is always dancing and cheering going on (even my daddy) and i am feeling really LOVED! This is a fun family to be apart of! Thanks momma and daddy!

Little Jo, Little Kell

We had a surprise visit today from our little "Buster."

Deacon came over and ate lunch with us! He has the softest, squishiest skin that you would ever feel and his ears are so floppy that Addie just could'nt resist giving them a little tug! haha! He did'nt mind, momma said that he practically pulls them off of his little head when he sucks his bottle. Hey, some babies have comfort blankets, others have comfort ears! He is so darlin', he reminds me so much of my brother!
