Design Blog
So I decided to start my own design blog. Its called Cove Street, just some fun ideas, projects, etc. for my house. Feel free to check it out and let me know what you think (or maybe don't let me know yet because I have kind of a sad background page for it. A new one is in the works, so it will get cheerier:)) But check it out and stop by often. I plan to post a couple times a week. Have a great week! Click here to head over to covestreetblog.blogspot.

Super Cute Gift Idea!
I found this darling gift idea over at Isabella and Max Rooms, and thought it would be a fun project for my kids to make for their teachers or grandmas this year. It's a tray for holding jewelry, keys, drinks etc. Simple, but fun and pretty. I might even make one for myself! Head over to her blog (she is on my decorating blog roll) to check out the details. My boys always love a fun craft so we'll see if this one will keep their interest:) I'm excited! (all images are Janell Beals')

First Ever Booth Family Vacation!!
Ok, I did this in two posts and so now it is backwards, just read on and it will eventually make sense. This is my brother and his bride during their ceremony.
Wild Mens!
My boys and their cousins. My parents have 6 grandsons and 0 granddaughters. These boys love getting together. They have a blast! And it gets a little crazy! Love these boys!
The wedding was the funnest I have ever been to!! It was seriously one big P-A-R-T-Y! We had so much fun dancing, and catching up with people, and watching these 5 little boys cut a serious rug. They tore it up on the dance floor. And their clothes are ruined to prove it! They were seriously sooo cute!
Kara and I, love this girl, so grateful to have her in our family!
My dad doing his "face" that my boys love. He is the greatest and pretty much the funniest.
Kent "dancing" with Owen.
We met up with Trevor's sister Ashleigh for a fun day at the zoo. That zoo is way awesome and its free! It was fun to spend time with Ash and catch up.
Baby O's- this boy was a trooper, he seriously couldn't have been better!

First Ever Booth Family Vacation!!
My brother Aaron got married on October 9th and we headed out to Washington D.C. for their wedding festivities and a week long trip to see the sights. We had a blast, and I can see why Aaron and Kara love living in that area, it is beautiful!!
We visited Arlington National Cemetery- there is such a reverence there.
It was cool to see all of the landmarks, the kids even had fun even though they are a little young to get the history behind it all.
Trev, my brother Chris and all the cousins (except for Owen) at the Washington Monument
Me and my bros. (Chris looking a little...gomerey)
My mom, grandma, Kara and Sarah and me at the rehearsal dinner. I loved their rehearsal dinner it was a fun, casual, hot dogs and burgers thing.

My Boys!
I just wanted to update you, and my "scrapbook" (this is as scrapbooky as I get) on the boys. Lately, especially, I have felt so blessed to be the mom of these three beautiful little guys. I am in awe at what the Lord gives us.
Will
Will started 1st grade this year, it is an adjustment for him to go all day and has been pretty hard for him to get used to being away from home that long, but he is doing better every day.
(He has tried to convince me several times that I should just home school him. Um.... no thanks!) His teacher, Mrs. Mickelson is darling and he has some fun friends in his class. Will has always been a really good student, and I think he is going to have a great year. He is way into playing with his friends lately, in fact that is pretty much all he wants to do, and maybe his DS once in awhile. He is such a good big brother and includes Charlie when he is with his friends. He also loves his baby O's. I love this boy, can't believe he is 6!
Charlie
This kid is too much. The stuff that comes out of his mouth seriously makes my day. Last week he told me I was wasting his time. He keeps having these random dreams about birds and turtles in his bed, and the other night he was crying in his sleep and told Trevor he just wants a Peps (Pepsi). He started pre-school this year and loves it, mostly because it means he is big. He has gained an opinion about what he wears (which I could do without), has gotten quite sassy, and is a little potty talker (no swear words, just boy talk that you could do without). He loves his baby brother, and thinks Will's friends are his. Recently Will's friend Gavin invited Charlie to his birthday party and you've never seen a kid so excited. But despite being so big he still likes me to hold him and cuddle. Sometimes I wish he would just stay little.
Owen
This baby boy went from being kind of a fussy little guy, to a melt your heart smiler (like big cheesy grins), gooer, and laugher. He is seriously so much fun at 3 months. He just rolled over last night to much applause from his parents and brothers. And I could seriously gaze at him all day. He is losing some of his hair so its hard to tell what color it will end up being, but his little face looks just like his brothers' did. He brings so much fun and joy to our house.
I had to include this picture of my dad, Trev and the boys. Typical Sunday afternoon at my parents. I love it!!

I am THAT mom!
Three kids has kind of thrown me for a loop. There is most definitely no napping when the baby is napping, therefore I have relied on a new found adrenaline to keep me going throughout the day. And as much as I enjoy the bonding of nursing, it has turned into me, the baby and his two brothers who just have to check on Owen and make sure he's eating good. But the biggest loop has been the grocery store. Since my boys have been older I really haven't minded taking them to get groceries, but I have now learned that 2 older boys and a carseat in the cart, although sounds do-able is not (at least for me) when I have more than a few things to get.
I was kind of excited for my Smith's shopping trip because I had a ton of coupons for stuff I needed to stock up on. So, although my friend Suzanne offered to take my boys, I said "I've got this." I had a plan, me: shopping cart with baby and a few groceries around the carseat. Will: big shopping cart of his own with all the TP and paper towels, etc. Charlie: kids' size cart filled to the brim. It made sense to me before we entered the store, and quite honestly the boys were awesome helpers. We were a small train of carts and Owen decided he had had it in the car seat so I held him as I pushed, and then I continued to hold him as I picked up the tomatoes that had fallen out of my bag all over the floor. At this point the sweat was beading up on my forehead and I just kept telling myself, "don't cry". We made it through checkout and were on our way to the car when Will's cart caught on the curb and tipped over and sent all his groceries onto the pavement. He handled it so good and about 5 super nice people helped us put it all back in and a cute little lady who didn't speak much english helped him to our car (I still had the baby in one arm). As I drove off I thought, "what made me think I could do this?!" The logistics of it were all wrong. Lesson learned. Needless to say I was that mom in the grocery store that you think to yourself, "Bless her heart..." or "What an idiot!"
