Our Family Tree
Of all my earthly possessions my family is my most favorite! I can't thank God enough for everything He's done for me and blessed me with. I am one very blessed girl!!!

Rayleigh- 8 Months
Rayleigh is our easiest going baby. She smiles a lot and entertains herself well. She has long dark hair and lots of it. Her eyes are brown. She's taking her bottle well. She loves baby food. She sleeps the best at night. She is talking and cooing at lot more these days. She loves to laugh and she usually always gets the hiccups after she laughs. She loves her feet and can get them in her mouth. She always pulls her socks off. She's quiet but very mischievous. She tries to play with all the babies, however, Mia doesn't appreciate Rayleigh messing with her. She likes to steal everyone's pacifiers. Rayleigh weighs 15lb 4.5oz.

Gracie- 8 Months
Gracie Lou is still our diva. She makes a noise that isn't a cry, it sounds like she's complaining about something. She will let you know when she's not happy. On the flip side, she's such a sweet and funny baby. Some of her looks crack me up. She'll look at you sometimes like, 'what the heck are you talking about'. She's hilarious. She loves her paci. She can sit up for a few seconds on her own. We noticed yesterday that she has her first tooth. She likes to be held and talked to, she's very interactive. Just like Tessa, she likes to scoot backwards on her back and therefore, she doesn't have any hair on the back of her head. She's also starting to get up on all fours and is trying to scoot around. She weighs 15lbs 4.5oz.
Brant: 8 Months
Brant is such a little turkey. He loves Brady. Brady can make some funny little noises and Brant will laugh and laugh. Brant watches everything that Brady does. It melts my heart to see them two together. Brant has brown hair (with maybe a hint of red in it) and I think his eyes are going to be bluish/hazel - I think eventually they'll be hazel. He is loud, he laughs out loud, he squeals, he screams, and he cries loudly. He is getting better about intertaining himself. He rolls everywhere and he's fast at doing it. He is trying to crawl, he'll get up on all fours and tries to push forward...he's got the army crawl going on. He's also getting better about self-soothing himself. I think he sometimes gets overstimulated and he just wants to be put down and left alone. He's also doing much better at night, in fact, he slept through the night last night. He weighs 15lbs 4oz.

Tessa: 8 Months
Tessa is our first baby to get a tooth (she now has 2)!!! She drools all the time; we usually have to change her clothes at least once a day because her shirt is so wet from the drool. When she's on her back, she will push with her legs and inch backwards...therefore, she doesn't have any hair on the back of her head. She's so big and cuddly. She's got the biggest and sweetest smile. She still doesn't have much hair. What hair she does have looks like it's going to be light brown. She's got beautiful blue eyes. She cries when you try to put her down, she loves to be held. She holds her head up well, reaches for things, she loves to stand up and bounce. She's starting to roll over (she's the last baby to get this technique down). She is fascinated by her hands. She'll look at them for the longest time just trying to figure out what they are and how they work. She can also cross her fingers. She drinks most of her bottles and loves baby food. She weighs 15lbs 3oz.

|Caught in the act... She's sucking, chewing, or biting Gracie's finger. Gracie and the rest of the crew better watch out now that Tessa has two teeth. They are very sharp and she's not afraid to use them!
Mia: 8 Months
Mia is our oldest quint, but you probably wouldn't guess it due to her size. She's still the smallest baby, by a lot. She weighs 13lbs 7oz. She is consistently gaining weight and is doing well in the growth department, she's just a small baby. I was concerned about her growth and talked to the pediatrician about it, he said she has "failure by comparison" --- I was like, what??? He explained that because she's a multiple, she's compared to the other babies and it looks like she's not doing well, when in all actuality, if she were a singleton, we wouldn't have anyone to compare her to and we'd think she was doing just fine. So, I'm going to stop worrying so much about her being small and except the fact that she's probably going to be my small kid. Mia has the sweetest smile and loves to snuggle. She's got a weak cry and she growls when she's trying to talk. She just had another surgery to have her airway stretched and it was very successful. She's much louder now. The doctor told us she shouldn't need the procedure done again unless she gets sick &/or starts having trouble breathing. She rolls all over the place. She's reaching for things and can put her pacifier back in her mouth when it falls out. She chews on her hands a lot, I think she's trying to cut a tooth. She will respond when you say her name. She's getting lots of brown hair and it's getting longer. Her eyes are hazel.

Quints: 8 Months
I can't believe I'm already writing this post. It can't be real that my babies are 8 months old now. This time last year, I was finally coming to grips that this was going to be my reality. I was finally convinced that we were going to have 5 babies (at the same time!!!!). I'm so thankful that our story has been a happy one. I know things could have gone much differently for us, it could have been a sad and tragic story, but thankfully God blessed us with five wonderful babies. They are getting so big. I'm amazed at how well they are doing. They're gaining weight consistently, which is great. They are meeting milestones (for their adjusted age of 5 months) and developing well. They are interacting with their environment more, staying awake and alert longer, and are very expressive and sociable with people. They all love to be held and played with, and they are noticing each other and Brady now. They all like to grab the closest pacifier and put it in their mouth. They will also put the closest hand or foot in their mouth (no matter who it belongs to). It's so funny to see one of them sucking on another one's hand or foot. They are always going to share such a sweet and special bond. They're starting to laugh a lot more. They like to eat baby food. It's a mess and takes several people to get them all fed, but they enjoy it and I'm so thankful that I had several friends go in together and buy us a baby table. It makes feeding 5 babies at once so much easier. They roll everywhere and it's a job to keep them still while they're eating through the g-tube (the girls). They have discovered their hands and feet. They grab for toys, are holding their heads up well, and are all over the place. They've all stayed pretty healthy this past month, thank the Lord. They are still wearing size 2 diapers. And are in 6-9 month clothes.

A short video that documents artist Richard Wilson's intervention into a building in Liverpool's city center.
"One of Wilson's very rare temporary works, Turning the Place Over colonises Cross Keys House, Moorfields. It runs in daylight hours, triggered by a light sensor.
"Turning the Place Over consists of an 8 metres diameter ovoid cut from the façade of a building in Liverpool city centre and made to oscillate in three dimensions. The revolving façade rests on a specially designed giant rotator, usually used in the shipping and nuclear industries, and acts as a huge opening and closing 'window', offering recurrent glimpses of the interior during its constant cycle during daylight hours."

Jessica Biel (in a scene from 'Valentine's Day') will play a scientist in the sitcom 'New Girl'.
Mrs Justin Timberlake will make a return to television as a scientist in the popular sitcom.
Jessica Biel is coming to Fox's New Girl as "the hottest scientist in the world", TheWrap has learned. The stint is just for one episode, the Season 4 premiere.
Here's Fox's full description of this fall's first half-hour: "It's the last wedding of the season, and the gang challenges each other to see if each of them can get lucky at the big event. Jess (Zooey Deschanel) sets her sights on a cute guy at the wedding – only to be taken on by Kat (Biel), the hottest scientist in the world."
New Girl returns to the airwaves in the US on Sept 16, sandwiched in between a new Utopia and the season premiere of The Mindy Project. — Reuters

Kentucky senior A'dia Mathies was one of 20 players named to the John R. Wooden Award mid-season watch list on Tuesday.
Mathies leads the Wildcats in scoring (15.4 ppg), 3-pointers made (43) and 3-point percentage (.422), while ranking third on the team in rebounds (4.3 rpg), assists (2.1 apg) and steals (1.6 spg). The 5-foot-9 guard has posted double-figure scoring in 17 of 19 games this season, including four outings with 20 or more points. Her strong play and leadership has helped Kentucky (18-1, 6-0 SEC) earn a spot in the top five of both national polls during a 17-game winning streak.
The Louisville native is one of only two SEC players on the prestigious watch list, along with Texas A&M junior center Kelsey Bone.

Nina Ultra Pro Bossa Nova
Hope y'all had some great food yesterday for Thanksgiving! It has been a great year and I'm thankful for a lot of things. I have already started a little bit of this Thanksgiving sale craze last night and will be continuing a little bit today. Today I have another oldie but a goodie from Nina Ultra Pro. Y'all know by now that I found these pictures when going through an old folder in my photo account online. Here's Nina Ultra Pro Bossa Nova.
Bossa Nova is a pretty bright dusty blue creme shade. It sounds kinda confusing cause bright and dusty can be seen as negating each other but it's really not. Again, I have no idea how many coats this is or evem how the formula even is being that I took this years ago.
I'm pretty sure this was the shade that caught my eye in the store and I ended up leaving with the entire collection. Sounds familiar?
Shimmer Polish Mary
Happy Thanksgiving y'all! I had a great Thanksgiving with my husband's side of the family and I am stuffed to the brim! I also managed to do some online shopping with Black Friday deals that went live early. I'll keep this post short and sweet as I have to check out a couple more deals online. Here's Shimmer Polish Mary.
This shade is packed with glittery goodness. It is described as "red, silver & black" according to the creator. That is a pretty spot on description for this shade really. I like red glitter shades like this because it's not a safe color combo per se with silver and black. It's kinda unique really. Just like other Shimmer Polish shades I've used and reviewed, glitter pieces are abundant and no sinking glitter at all even though I've had this bottle for more than a year. Formula is nice and applies beautifully. Shown is 2 thin coats with no top coat.
Shimmer Polish retails for $12 each and you can purchase them on the website or through their Etsy store. If none of the shades are quite right, you can request a custom polish to be made in any name you want for $15 each.
*Some products in this review may have been provided by the PR company or manufacturer for an honest opinion.*
Nina Ultra Pro Tango
Here's another oldie but a goodie from Nina Ultra Pro. As mentioned in my earlier post here for another shade from the same collection, I found these pictures when going through an old folder in my photo account online. Here's Nina Ultra Pro Tango.
This reddish creme shade looks so shiny! I have no idea how many coats this is or what the formula's like since I took this a long time ago (and I still haven't located this in my stash).
I think the color for this one is pretty accurate since it seems to be red still in the direct sunlight shot. The direct sunlight shots have always been the most accurate when it comes to color in my experience.
Nicole by OPI The Gold Shoulder
Hey guys! How has your weekend been? Are y'all ready for Thanksgiving and all the sales surrounding that? I'm not going to stress over the sales at all this year. I haven't really in the past few years. I just do some light shopping online cause I'm pretty much done with what I need to get for gifts by now. I'm looking forward to the food more really. We're deep frying some chickens while my SIL will be roasting the turkey. I'm going to probably bake some Nutella cupcakes and help my husband with the homemade apple pie. Today's post is on another shade that the sweet Polish Insomniac sent me for a giveaway replacement package (read about it here). Here's Nicole by OPI The Gold Shoulder.
If I remember this right it's a Walmart exclusive shade. This shade is packed with gold glitter in silvery gold shimmer. The gold glitter bits is more sparse but it's definitely there. Formula is a little bit watery but applied beautifully. Shown is 2 thin coats with no top coat.
Nina Ultra Pro Salsa
This is an oldie but a goodie. I found these pictures when going through an old folder in my photo account online. I got 2 sets of some shades from the Nina Ultra Pro Sultry Samba Collection a few years ago and I remember selling one set off to a nice reader. I'm not sure where mine is right now cause I can't seem to locate it. This calls for going through my collection sometime over the holidays I suppose. Here's Nina Ultra Pro Salsa.
I like this green a lot even when it's not a glitter, holo or shimmer. I tend to shy away from cremes so I'm not sure what possessed me to get this, but I'm sure glad I did! It looks so squishy that it makes me think of jelly shades. I have no idea how many coats this is unfortunately since I took this a long time ago.
Excuse the poor state of my cuticles in those shots. I believe this was just about when I started my blog. It actually looks kind of weird to me now since I hold the bottle very differently as well since the angle looks very different.
