Soccer Season Ends...
Brylie's soccer season has come to an end. On saturday, at her last game day, she scored her 1st goal! We were all so excited for her! She really has come a long way in a short amount of time. She has learned to really get in there and get the ball. It has been so fun to watch her play. She got a medal for participating. Kaden is jealous of all the attention and says she will be going out for soccer next season.

Tooth Fairy time
Brylie lost her first tooth at her soccer game this weekend. She ran over to us with a bloody mouth during the game. It was obviously coming from her tooth. Greg said let me see...and popped that tooth right out of there! What a great way to loose a first tooth! She rinsed her mouth out a little and was right back in the game.
The tooth fairy came last night and she got $5 for her first tooth! She is saving her next tooth to try at dads house to see if the tooth fairy there gives more money :)
Way to go Brylie!

Halloween Preview:
Presenting:
Ellie
as an
"Ellie-phant"
Greg and I have had so much fun with the elephant theme since Ellie was born. Elephants are so in right now! She has tons of clothes with elephants on them, the cutest stuffed animals, Gma made her favorite blanket that has pink elephants on it, and we even decided to redecorate her nursery with the elephant theme after she was born.
So of course for her 1st Halloween she had to be an elephant. And since she is bald and everyone thinks she is a boy, we went with a PINK elephant!
We know our elephant obsession will have to stop bc we are sure she will end up hating elephants.....but until she can talk, I think she is out of luck :)

A week at the Dombeks...
This week went by so fast, I can't believe it is already Friday night.
We have so many activities lately that keep us pretty busy.
Here is a look into our week-
MONDAY: Get the girls off to school, babysit, coupon clip and check out all the ads. For FHE we went to Trey's football game in Savannah. I babysit, so we didn't make it there until half time. Everyone had fun.
TUESDAY: Babysit. The girls had a Walk-a-thon during school. Brylie had to take show and tell in. It was 1st grade reading night. Brylie and I went and we won a prize!
WEDNESDAY: It was Picture Day at school, we were up early to curl everyones hair! Ellie and I had water babies class. We did a weeks worth of meal planning and grocery shopping. Brylie had soccer practice.
THURSDAY: I took Kaden to the eye doctor and she had to get new glasses, which took us 2 hours! The big girls had Gymnastics class. There was a Rollerskating PTA party that we went to right after that.
FRIDAY: Babysit. Brylie had soccer practice. We had a church party to attend this evening.
Tomorrow: Brylie has 2 soccer games!
I love that my girls are involved in things, they really are having a blast. Its fun to watch them try new things. They sure do keep me busy, but I wouldn't change a thing.
I love being home with Ellie (and the girl I babysit). It is so great to not miss out and to help them learn and grow. I am so blessed for a husband that works so hard everyday so that I have live my dream life. Being a mom is the best thing ever.

Playing catch up...
Ok, well I haven't been blogging like I would like to. I can't seem to find the extra time. I have been busy with other things as you can imagine. I like to think that my blog is a type of journaling that one day the kids can look back at and read. I got way behind with my scrapbooking though, and it has taken all my time to get up to date with that. I always just did a scrapbook for each child (so I did two). Now, I have been scrapbooking for the girls, Jaren, Ellie and I do a big family book. So now I have been trying to keep up with 5 at once.
I want to get back into blogging though because it helps keep my extended family up to date. All though, if you are my Facebook friend, you will probably get the most updates and pictures.
Also, I have had requests to go public again. Im not as worried about someone stealing my newborn anymore.
So, lets see what I need to catch up on.
Ellie is getting a lot bigger. She is such a happy baby now. Ever since she started eating real food, so is so much better. Also, we FINALLY let her cry it out at night to learn to go to sleep herself. Greg's parents came to visit and his mom convinced us to do it! I thought it would be so hard to listen to her cry for hours and hours, but she was still waking me up at least twice in the night. So, one weekend when it was just her at home, we decided to do it. She cried for about 20 minutes and that was it. Then about 5 the next night. And now she is our sleeping champ!!! If we would have known it would be that easy, we would have done it months ago! She sleeps about 11 hours a night now!
She has two teeth now. She is not interested in learning to crawl at all. She has started to stand up against toys, so we think she might just start walking. :)
Jaren is getting bigger and talking a lot more. We can actually carry on conversations with him now and he tells us all kinds of stuff. He still loves hanging out with his big sisters. The 3 of them love playing and doing everything together. But he is also very sweet with Ellie, he calls her "Baby Ellie" he likes to make sure that she is taken care of. He is defiantly a daddy's boy though. He loves having daddy throw him around, tickle him, chase him and snuggle with him. He cries just about every time that Greg has to drop him back off and keeps saying, "Daddys house, Daddys house."
The big girls started school and are both doing great. They didn't have any friends in their class this year so it was like starting all over. They both like their teachers though. Both girls are signed up for gymnastics again. Kaden also goes to achievement day activities and Brylie has joined the city soccer team.
I have just been staying home. I babysit an almost 2 year old girl three days a week. We spend our time playing, reading, coloring, going on walks to the park, and playing in the backyard. Then when its nap time, its cooking and cleaning time.
We really have been so blessed. Our lives couldn't get much better then this. We have 4 awesome kids and love the great family times that we get to share together.
