The Post with all the Pictures

This is the post where I suck you in to life around our house over the past month. I take so many pictures with my trusty phone and then forget to share them. So take a glimpse into the more random parts of our lives.

Morning Science Experiments: Jillian says, "Wear your safety goggles!"

This is what my teenagers look like when they go shopping around town. Honk and wave if you see them.

This is what the littlest sister looks like when she is trying to be just like her big sisters.

___________________________________________________________________________

This is what a typical rowdy playtime looks like at our house. DOGPILE!

This is what Jillian looked like on Christmas Eve just as guests started to arrive for our celebration.

These are the ingredients I used to make all my Christmas goodies!

This is the fireplace heater I got for Christmas. It resides in my room where I can blog and be nice and toasty.

This is the beautiful Gabriella in her shirt from Secret Santa. Her Secret Santa was Genevieve.

This is the fabulous Madeline in her Christmas coat and scarf/hood combination.

This is the stack of games the kids got for Christmas this year. Lots of fun for all!

This is a house that Caleb built with his new Lego set from Jessica.

These are the matching shirts that Maddy and Gabby bought at Aeropostale for $5. Don't they look adorable?

This is how Jilly fell asleep the other night.

This is Jillian's hair after her first haircut. Her hair was waist length but scraggly on the ends. I miss her natural shaping but she needed the cut.

This is how I have been braiding Ginny's hair. It's a little dark but hopefully you can see the curved french braids.

I keep forgetting to tell you: Danica ia absolutely inlove with the naked baby Jillian gave her for her birthday. (weirdos...both of them lol) and she has been using the pillows Ginny made her to put the naked baby down for naps. They crack me, all 3 of them and they are so sweet. Please give them hugs and kisses from me and Danica. =)

Who We Are

Lisa- The Blogger

This is me. I like to think I am complex and multi-faceted but I think much of the time I am a silly, zany, free-spirited person who really enjoys life. I like to make people happy, I like to be happy. I am a sanguine through and through. I love crafting, Pinterest, gathering ideas, computer stuff, watching movies, sleepovers and hugging on my offspring. I don't like internet haters who assume to 'know' me just by what they read here. There is a reason this is called 'Pieces' Of Us. It's just a small peek in the window. You may think you know, but you have no idea.
Mike- The Sportsman

Mike is more than just a sportsman but he does like to shoot a deer now and then. In his other spare moments which are few and far between he is taking college courses to finish his degree or tending to his pack as Cubmaster. He loves to spend time with the kids and they think he is pretty great even if he is a goofball who loves to embarrass them.
Madeline- The Free Spirited Bohemian One

This kid could be happy with just some books, a drawing pad and a pencil. She has an aptitude for art and has really excelled at drawing over the past year. She is patient and kind but has a mischievous twinkle in her eye. Maddy is dependable, if you want something done, she's your girl and she does it with a cheerful spirit.
Gabriella- The Creative Ray of Light

Gabby has sparkle, she has pizzazz, she has talent. She is the kid you never have to tell to practice the piano instead you tell her to take a break. She loves to chat with her friends on the computer (what teen doesn't?) and write stories with her twin sister. She's a practical joker and has a terrific sense of humor. Did I mention she is also a talented actress as well?
AJ- The Deep Thinker

This boy is going places! AJ is always thinking. He is a true philosopher pondering the whys of everything but he is also an inventor/engineer also determining the hows. He spends hours building and taking things apart. We worry that he will one day blow up the house but for now he is pretty darn useful at optimizing our computers and rewiring things that break around here.
Genevieve Audrey- The Spunky One

Spunky doesn't even begin to describe it. She is a social butterfly and she loves to sit and chat as long as her victim will listen. Ginny is a tiny little thing but her spirit is huge and she's smart to boot. She is proving to be an excellent big sister and is teaching Jilly the ropes.
Caleb Allen- The Littlest Man

He doesn't like it when you run your fingers through his hair so we do it all the more. Caleb is just so cute and snuggly. He is always full of enthusiasm whether it be positive or negative. He either really loves something or he doesn't like it at all. We love him regardless.
Jillian Clementine- The Boss

She may be small but she makes up for it big time. Jillian likes to let people know who is in charge and we often have to take her down a peg... or five. She says funny things so often that she has her own blog Jillyish. She loves to use huge words like intrusive and incredible or any other adjective that shouldn't come out of a three year old. She will also tell you that she is too shy to say Hi but don't believe it because she is pure drama.
Jess..ica- She hiccups

She may not be blood but we claim her as one of us. Honestly, I don't know what I'd do without her around. She makes us laugh and she can sing like a hamster. Everyone needs a friend with a hamster voice. Now she'll probably ask me to take this down but I'm not gonna. Because we love her.
