Wow, It has been way too long...

Facebook has taken me away from blogging...as I'm sure it has done to most others as well, it's just so much quicker, not a lot of words need to be written and you can communicate at the same time, where as with blogger, to communicate you have to go to every ones individual blogs and read and look, and before you know it, you've been on the computer for three hours and the baby has put every bit of toilet paper you have in the house in the toilet! No? Not you? Well, I'm sure it has happened to someone at some point. I would LOVE to have a Facebook fan page for my photography business but I have limited computer up keep time on my hands with three busy little ones so for now I am uploading Michelle Jenkins Photography images to my personal Facebook page. If we are not already friends, please be-friend me! :) Michelle Miller Jenkins.

The kids are growing growing growing and learning more with each passing day...learning how to out smart their mama for the most part! Anderson has passed his 18 month old mark and that kid is crazy!!! He is my baby that I must keep an eye on at all times, because he is fearless and could care less about discipline. He just started singing songs and even yodels :) Landon is in 3 year old preschool now and loves it! Loves his teachers and his friends. He uses such big words, and correctly!! He is very strong willed, so active, strong and has a wonderful imagination, not to mention a smile that will melt your heart. Alli is doing wonderfully is school and she will start 2nd grade after the new year. She is such a big help to me and a great big sister to her brothers. She is very into nature right now, and loves catching butterflies and making homes for them in the flower bed. She has moved a bit away from Hannah Montana (thank goodness) and just loves Taylor Swifts music right now. My little diva :)

Here are the most recent pics of them all together this late Summer and early Fall:

(I'm sure there are more little guy, it's just hard to think of them off the top of mommys head)

He can take his diaper off in the morning and throw it in the trash (love this!)

He washes his own body parts, loves taking showers and just standing with the warm water to his back

Has the cutest little fast run

Can clean up

When he spills something he goes straight to the towel drawer to get a towel and clean it up

Doesn't really care about being potty trained

Loves giving kisses, and they are oh so slobbery

Still missing four baby teeth besides his molars

Loves chicken and dumplings, spaghetti and pizza, ranch and sour cream

doesn't like graham crackers or pop tarts

climbs up into his high chair yelling "eat" when he sees me setting the table

loves using a spoon and drinking from a cup with no lid

Stopped using a bottle at 14 months old

Still sleeps in bed with us or on his own little bed on the floor in our room

sometimes takes a nap during the day, if he does he goes to be about 10pm and wakes at 9am, if he doesn't get a nap he goes to bed at 7pm and wakes at 7am

Favorite songs: Ittsy Bittsy Spider, Row Row Row your Boat, ABCs, Twinkle Twinkle, Fly me to the Moon
