My Wild and Wonderful Life as a Mother of Four

Solomon's Island, Mariner's Museum

2010-11-08T08:43:00.000-08:00

So this is like the best place on Solomon's Island to take the kids. They are entertained from the second the get there.

At the beginning of the museum is this grate hands on string ray pool. Occasionally you may get a little splash from one. The kids like getting wet even though mom is not so keen on it.

Then you can sail a way in a real wooden boat. Well you cant really sail away but the kids sure have fun pretending.

Lots of old time dress up clothes for the kids to try on. I think Kayla was trying to reenact how she would have felt in the dress on a hot day.

Of course they had to have these cute would cut outs for the kids to model.

Let's Hit the Beach

2010-11-05T15:51:00.000-07:00

Everyone enjoyed walking alone the sandy beach and letting the sand squish up in between there toes.

The girls may look dry in these photo's but they did not stay dry for long.

These have to be my favorite pics of the entire summer. My wonderful girls with the ocean behind us.

Even Kaden was getting into the action.

Sisterly love.

Grandma and grandpa are watching while every one else is collecting crabs.

The Many Faces of Kaden

2010-11-05T05:52:00.000-07:00

Kaden is the kind of boy who is comfortable playing in his sisters hat's and necklasces, along with holding there purses.

He is best at being a little charmer and making us all laugh.

He is most often found singing a song and giving out hugs. My most favorite saying of his is " I love everybody".

Back to school

2010-09-08T06:23:00.000-07:00

Maddy all ready for her big day in middle school. I'm not sure who it was harder for me or her. I felt like I was feeding her to a pack a wolves. I can only trust that Justin and I have taught her to make good decisions.

Jordyn was very excited to get on the bus and meet new friends.

The most exciting part of the morning was having our neighbor the Sheriff park his car on the side of the road. Lets just say all the cars passing by make sure they are going slow when the see his car.

At the end of the summer we watched these two sweet little girls who have become good friends with Maddy, Kayla and Jordyn.

Turner Christmas

2009-01-01T12:39:00.000-08:00

We had a wonderful Christmas with my brother Justin, his wife Chelsea and newborn Jackson in town visiting us. I think holding the baby won over playing some of the new games and toys. The top toy for Kaden was his choo choo trains.Kayla is enjoying her new DS Lite playing Super Mario and Diego. Jordyn is enjoying her time fixing her new American Girl doll Mia's hair and clothes. Maddy cannot be pulled away from her new camera and her dads gift (Rock Band).

My house has been shaking since Christmas and I have learned I may not be able to hold a note but if I scream the songs I get high scores. Rock Band is definitely the number one gift in our house this year.

First Anual Family Chritmas FHE

2008-12-22T14:05:00.000-08:00

This year I decide it would be fun to invite a few of our friends to enjoy a FHE filled with carols hot chocolate and the Bull Run Festival of Lights. We had allot of fun and shared some wonderful holiday memories. This will be a first of many I hope.

Girl's New York Trip

2008-12-15T19:18:00.000-08:00

The Turner girls went to New York with grandma last weekend. It was allot of fun. We has a blast at the American Girl Store. Where we had lunch in the wonderful cafe. This cafe is all girly girl, pink with frills every where. They even had a special chair for the dolls to sit in at the table and little mini mugs for the doll to drink out of. It was definitely a little girls fantasy world.

Getting ready for Christmas

2008-12-15T19:01:00.000-08:00

The kids had alot of fun decorating the tree and drinking hot cocoa. This was also our first year to have a real tree. The sad thing is I keep forgeting to water it. Thankgoodness for Justin who seems to remember at like 10pm.

2008-11-24T11:12:00.000-08:00

The girls had a lot of fun dressing up for spirit week. It took alot of conviencing Maddy that the 80's was not the time of the hippies. She realy wanted to wear bell bottoms and my 70's wig.

Kayla's Preschool Graduation

2008-06-13T09:26:00.000-07:00

My last girl is graduating form preschool. Kayla has been a joy to be around this year as she is growing into such the young lady. She has become a little mother to her brother and enjoys doing everything I do. I will miss my little buddy come September, but I will also enjoy that for the first time in eight years I will only have one child to take care of during the day. (oh the things I will accomplish)

The Baltimore Aquirium

2008-06-12T09:19:00.000-07:00

Justin and I enjoyed watching the kids learn about sea life at the Baltiomore Aquirium. The kids enjoyed posing for pictures.

Kaden Birthday

2007-11-09T11:12:00.000-08:00

It's hard to believe that it has been a year since we brought Kaden home. We celebrated his birthday on October 18th. The girls made Kaden a Halloween cake with orange frosting and a black icing in the shape of a cobweb. As you can see from the pictures he really enjoyed it
