Boxes

Next year the babies are getting boxes for Christmas!Avery admiring Kae-Pae’s Steamer with Me-Mom!

Now she’s on top of the diapers! Gunner overjoyed about some new diapers!!

The diaper boxes were even a hit for Sissy!

The next best thing was the paper!!!She was literally inside of the bag!!!
Can you tell she’s the one that pushes all the limits?
And where was Lauren??? She was snuggled with Pae-Pae getting fed Powdered Sugar by Pe-Pop!!
No need to ask where Cannon was, odds are he was in my lap!

We were able to celebrate Christmas with the Pater Family (my mom (Me-Mom) my dad (Pe-Pop) my brother (Coach) my sister-in-law (Kae-Pae) my nephew (Jayce) and my sister (Pae-Pae)) the week before Christmas because my mom had to work Christmas night back in South Carolina! That made Christmas last for over a week, it was WONDERFUL!!
Still to come Christmas with the Cochran’s, the Kirkwood’s and then our family Christmas!

Hope your Christmas was everything you hoped for!

OOH, I ALMOST FORGOT!!!
We have a new addition to the Pater Family line-up,
Uncle Dan!!!
You may remember the post from Easter where this picture was listed as Pae-Pae and Mister Dan, well, he decided he wanted to be a part of our crazy family----- well, maybe he just decided he loved my sister so much he’d put up with our family and he popped the question Christmas day! We are so excited to welcome Uncle Dan (it’s at least four syllables, just ask Hannah Noelle) to our family!!  
 

Introducing…….

Rocky Cochran Who, Me?

This happened over a week ago and according to my pediatrician, “This is the first of many!” On this specific day he pulled an entire table over on top of his head! LOVELY!! We’re not talking about some rinky dinky table I should have had secured or had safety latched, we’re talking about a for-real-deal table that you nor I would have ever thought of as a hazard! We took him straight in to make sure everything was okay since A) there was a cut (although I told the pedi on the phone, I’ve cut myself shaving worse than this!) B) it was on his face and C) there were multiple bruises!!! Everything was fine and she assured me it would happen many many more times! Since then he has had 3 more should we go to the hospital experiences!! I’m thinking Cannon and Reid should start researching padded college campuses real soon or maybe her Mom’s Website should carry helmets and full body gear!
Merry Almost Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas

I’m skipping a lot of the in between stuff and I’ll get back to that later, but I just wanted to share our Christmas Card.  We were late sending them out so if you haven’t received yours yet, hang tight, it may take another day or two!
We have been super super busy around here with Christmas Parties, dentist visits, a new configuration for the playroom (and mommy’s sanity)!
Everyone please take time out this Christmas Season to remember the Reason for the Season and give everyone in your family an extra hug from the Cochran Crew!
Merry Christmas!
If things stay as crazy as they have been, the next time I get around to blogging I’ll be 30! That’s right, I turn the Big 3-0 in 2009!

Halloween in December?

Sorry I’m just now getting around to posting Halloween pictures! We had a blog-eye-opening experience in the middle of October and let’s just say there are some very strange, sick people in this world.  I had thrown in the towel on blogging with pictures, but then I realized this is how some of you actually get to see my children grow up! So with a few new safety precautions, we’re gonna give it another whirl!Group Pictures are IMPOSSIBLE!
Two Frogs, Two Princesses and a Rock Star Princess!Sweet Avery bug!They did SO good and then a dog barked and it was all over!
Avery who we always have had pegged as our Punk-A-Rella loved dressing up!! She played with the tulle the whole night! Lauren, however, could have cared less.  The boys weren’t concerned at all with their costumes and Cannon had his Pappy-Frog in his mouth so that’s all he was worried about!Yes, there were some girls Trick-or-Treating dressed up as our kids!Rock Star Princess, Hannah Noelle! 

I’ve got lots to catch up on, we’ve been very busy!
Hannah Noelle’s birthday, Thanksgiving and Christmas pictures!
