Merry Christmas

Ashlynn and School

This picture documents Ashlynn's first day

of school (back in August).

She enjoys having fun hair dews to go with her uniform.

Including these.

Ashlynn's 6th Birthday

We celebrated Ashlynn's 6th Birthday in late October.

She especially enjoyed her super large chocolate cupcake with peanut butter buttercream filling.

What Ashlynn Likes

Ashlynn likes to hold her baby brother.

And wear her homemade (doesn't it look like it's homemade?) Rapunzel wig.

And play with her brothers.

And smile for the camera.

And go trick-or-treating.

Chillin' in the Crib

Decorating Christmas Cookies

 The best part, of course, is EATING the cookies!

A Meager Return

As you've probably guessed, life with three little ones

keeps me on my toes. Hence my absence from blog land. 

Try as I might in entertaining the thought of abolishing the Bobbinoggin blog, I cannot.

So, I'm keeping it simple and posting some pictures from the last six months, 

through the rest of the week. Enjoy!

Polish for the Day

OPI: Lincoln Park at Midnight.

Happy Birthday Bud!

On Friday, August 12th our Buddy turned 2!

Here's a little taste of the party.

Whistle While You Work

Need something for that busy toddler to do while you clean?


Prop them up to the sink of course.


Water bubbles. Bubbles water.


Bubble beard. Blowin' kisses.


Soapy smile. Perfect.

Who Does The Bud Look Like?

I always receive questions like: Who does Aiden resemble most? Or, who does Rowen resemble most?

I've always thought The Bud looks like me.And I'll show you the picture I've always thought of when answering:


Yep. That's me. Dressed up in a Union Pacific Railroad pair of overalls and hat (my Dad drives trains for them). I had boy hair and all. Including, might I add, one ginormous head.
