End of Sept...

So far in Sept...

We had a a grilling pizza night--If you have never grilled pizza its a MUST! You have not had really super yummy homemade pizza until you try it. We are kind of grilling freaks. It makes pizza that much better and healthier! 

 We played in the rain. The older boys love doing this. They always are asking, "when will it rain again." They both love to count how many raindrops they can get on their tongue. Pretty darn cute to watch:) 

 Rugby, Rugby, Rugby!! Yes its season again and our Daddy has had a game every weekend. We go an support him when we can even though I really don't get the watch the game since I am trying to entertain and keep track of 3 kids. I keep porter strapped down with his monkey pouch so he wont run off and let him do his favorite thing which is color. Trey usually keeps himself occupied with his dinos and Kreed, well he is just a very well mannered baby in public--love to be outside. Daddy plays catch with the boys during half time. So really I just watch the boys while he plays but its the thought and just being there that counts. Chris is done playing in October so this will be it for his Rugby career so we are enjoying it while it last. 

My brothers Kirby and Kody came into town. They were doing a shut down on the paper plant in Cedar Rapids which is only an hour aways from us. The weekend they were up Christian had boards and then he had to work since missing so much work because of boards. It really was not a stellar weekend but nevertheless we always love having company especially family! We did the annual Hibachi which is always yummy! The boys really enjoyed the show and of course Kreed was an angle baby. It was nice to have them and for Kreed to finally meet his uncles. The older boys sure game them a run for their money too...haha! 

Of course its always nice when the Galea Trio is together. We have a good time. There is never a dull moments when my brothers are around. My cheeks usually hurt so much from laughing so hard. Gotta love the crazy funny pictures you can take with the computer:) 

 Zumba. I have been teaching 2 times a week plus subbing a lot. I embrace it though since it makes me feel so good and keeps my booty in shape..haha!  We had a Zumbathon the other night to raise money for United way. I know I have said it before but I love my job! I was actually running really late for the fundraiser since Kreed's feed time happen to fall right then I was supposed to be leaving. I was not in my official Zumba gear, I just threw on some yoga pants and wore my street shirt so I could make the class. I kind of looked like to odd one teaching...haha! Anyway, it was fun and we were all a HOT MESS by the time it was done. 

 We have had the missionaries over for dinner like always. The boys love them and we love the spirit they bring. Its a win win situation-- we feed them, then they always give such a great lesson. Thanks Elders:) 

 Oh yes and we can not forget that today is our crazy Daddy Biggs birthday!! Never was there a greater man then him. He is selfless, kind, and genuine--hes smokin' hot too:) He is away playing Rugby in Minnesota today--yes bummer! I just wanted to give him a shout out!! We just celebrated simple with some family facetime on the computer and happy birthday melody's. I mean what else can you do when this dude is never around...::SIGH:: Tomorrow we will celebrate with some ice cream, Daddy's favorite! I just hope he knows how much we appreciate him. Happy Happy Birthday-- Love you Hercules!!
Trey took this picture..lol

That about sums up our month September. 

WOW, 6 months!! {Kreed}

Yes, WOW!!
Kreed is already 6 months old! Its hard to believe. I swear the more kids you have the more time just goes faster and faster. Happy Happy 1/2 Birthday to our little handsome smiley Kreed-ster!! He such a charmer! Someone please tell me how to freeze him? I want him to stay like this forever. He is such a sweet little man cub. I honestly sometimes can not stop nomming on him all day long, he is just so irresistible. He smiles so big at ever thing, you just have to look at this boy and he smiles and laughs at at you. He melt my heart and everybody else with that toothless smile. He super happy but definitely let you know when he wants something! His new nickname is "Fester" since were wondering if he will ever grow hair...LOL! His loves to gibber-jabber all day long. We love his little squeals..LOL! He is still a pretty easy going baby except the last couple weeks we have been working on some teeth. He has been a little more cranky with attitude...LOL. He loves to play with his toys especially the ones that make noises. We are going to start introducing solids here soon since he has shown interest in food. He still love to eat alot thus why he always covered in spit up! Oh he is just a delight and fits right in with his older brothers! 

He is still a little pip-squeak, hes only like a whopping 14 lbs. He is hitting all his milestones just fine though. Sitting up, eye-hand coordination, ect. We just love our little lover boy. Oh Kreeder-kins you are just a perfect fit to our family of boys. Thanks for blessing our lives the past 6 months and we look forward to watching your grow even more. We love you our SONshine!

PS. I have a video montonge of him but for some reason I can not get it to work...grrr. Hopefully I can get it to work soon...

Tay's "un-official" Senior Pics

First, I can not believe my "little-big" sister is a senior this year. Sniff, Sniff. She had turned into such a lovely young women. I just love this girl. I am so thankful I get to call her my sister. I am grateful for her love and friendship no matter what. I cherish our late night phone calls, random texts, and just our sisterhood. I love you Tayli!!

Ok enough with the blubbering. Randomly at the family reunion Tay and Mama C. decided that I should take some senior pictures of her. I only have a 12mm point and shoot camera but I love taking pictures so we thought ok let try some--maybe even just to practice some of the poses for when she takes professional ones. No, I am not a photographer and I know their are probably many mistakes in the pictures I took...LOL! I still feel we got some pretty great pictures of her though despite the randomness of the photo shoot.

She wanted to take some with Nana Christensen's old hats and we honestly just found some random dress in the closet to go with the pretty hats...LOL! Like I said this was spur of the moment pictures...LOL! I thought they turned out pretty good for just throwing an out-fit together, then again its easy to take pictures of someone who is so photogenic:) 

 BEAUTIFUL!!! 

Ok, I am sucker for serious face photos! I am not sure why I just am. They are more non candid to me and you get a different look every time. 

 Oh yes and we just had to take a photo on Great Grandpa Reuel's old car. She really worked the camera! 

We just tried various different spots, shots, angles--it actually was really fun! Tayliann stole every picture with pure beauty. I mean she was wearing her everyday clothes and close to no makeup and we still got some killer poses. 

We both loved this one. 

After a while I gave Tay my earrings and vest to give some more layers to her outfit. Again, she can me anything look good!
This is by far my favorite photo of her, look at those eyes!!! 

 Tay really can make any shot look gorgeous. 

This is one of my favorites too....

:::SIGH:::

I really can not believe she will be graduating this year. I am so proud of her and just love her so. I am so thankful for the gift of sisterhood:)  

Here is a poem I found that reminded me of Tayli and I.

My Sister

"What you mean to me,
Is more than I can express.
You see, I had no sister when I was little
To call when I was in distress.

When we first met,
We had no clue,
What was getting ready to happen,
Was not completely out of the blue.

God had a plan,
Throughout all the years,
He was making us for each other,
To share life's smiles and tears.

I never could have imagined,
What a sister's love was about,
Until I met you,
And then I really found out.

A sister's love is unconditional,
It's a love has no end,
A sister's love wants the best for each other,
It's a love that will always defend.

Sometimes we may get mad,
Or we may begin to fight,
But that's the fun part about having a sister,
We both think we're always right!

I'm so glad that I did not have,
A sister in the past,
It's made me much more thankful,
For the sister I have at last."-Jennifer Brock

Labor Day & Babies!

Labor day was somewhat productive around here. Christian is never home due to his very demanding schedule with clinic, rugby, and work, thus it's very hard to keep up on the yard work with 3 little kiddos. Please don't judge our lawn and house by its cover...LOL! We pretty white trash if you will:) Labor day we worked hard to make it look decent. We did not get all the way there since the heat was so bad. We could not start until around 5 but its looks better.

The older boys played with the hose and in the pool while we worked

I was not as much help as I wanted since Kreed took most of my attention but he sure was enjoying being outside. 

 So thankful that our Daddy worked so hard on his day off! 

 We made a fire with all the branches we collected. They boys were pretty much memorized by the fire...LOL! 

 Even Jax really had a good time being outside most of the night. 

Now on to the babies. I have had 13 friends have babies over the past 6 months...yes lots of babies!! I have been making tons of freezer meals for the Moms most in which helped me when I was on bed rest with Kreed. Paying it forward, trying to anyways. 

Speaking of babies--with all the craziness in life, I forgot to mention that Cody and Camille had their baby girl Brielle in April. Yes I am like 4 months late but isn't she a beauty? Kreed and her were due the same month. They would of only been about 10 days apart but Kreed had other plans. They are still very close in age though. Anyway, she is the first grand baby girl on the Cutler side and super cute! Congrats again guys, sorry the shout out is so late! 

 Oh yes and MORE CUTLER BABIES!! Casey and Kimber are having a baby BOY this coming November!!! I thought it was a girl but I have decided that Cutler don't have girls first--its tradition..LOL! We are super excited for them and she is looking super cute. Congrats guys, we can't wait to add another little man cub to the Cutler fam:)   

That's all for now...

Happy September:)
