Happy Halloween

So we decided to try carving pumpkins again 

this year and see how J. did touching the 

inside....

 And once again he was excited to carve it....

 Until he realized what he was grabbing 

and then another year of NOT LIKING the

pumpkin "guts"!!!

Our Lady Bug just lounging!!

 A. with cousin T.

 Happy Halloween from 

our Firefighter (didn't think my flash would reflect

off his costume!!) and our Little lady Bug!

Hope everyone had a great Halloween...

I will try to post some of our crawling baby this week!!!

So big....

Lil' miss A.  thinks she is so big

now that she is sitting on her own.

She is starting to get up on all fours 

right now and rocking 

back and forth...

I am not sure I am ready for her 

to start crawling yet...

But ready or not she is trying!!

 Just love her smiles!!

 I must say she is the happiest baby 

and has a smile for anyone that is willing 

to look at her!!

First snow!

Tonight it snowed some and a certain

little boy just could not WAIT

to get out in it and play...

Thank goodness

I had bought him a coat and 

snow pants not to long ago and 

his boots still fit from 

last year.

Only problem...

Couldn't find his gloves....

So we only lasted a short time

before his hands were really cold!!!

But I can see lots of time will be spent

outside this year!!

Fire Fighter Jaxson

All J. says is when he gets big he wants to be

a Firefighter.

So we found a firefighter halloween costume.

So he was wearing it the other day and was going 

to run an errand with me...

And next thing I knew we were at the 

fire station getting a one on one tour!!

 They showed J. every tool they carry and what they 

do and what every button is for. 

We learned A LOT!!

 J. getting to drive!!

 J. trying out the water sprayer. 

He thought that was pretty cool!

 Getting to hold the BIG ax!!

I think his dreams were fulfilled today!!

Thanks to a few great firefighters that 

made a little boys day!!!

Flag Football

J. has been playing flag football 

for the last 3 weekends.

It is 3-4 year olds.

So the attention span is 

pretty short...

J. trying to run by the kid without getting 

his flags taken!

 He is suppose to be running backwards while

looking over his shoulder....

He has the shoulder part!!

 Daddy trying to give him some directions!

 J. kicking the football!

 Warming up!

I must say... I do get a pretty good laugh watching these boys!!

Mount Rushmore and Bear Country

A few pictures of Mount Rushmore 

and our trip through bear country...

We had a great weekend with my family

camping and seeing the Go Fish Guys...

Thanks Grandma and papa for letting us crash in your camper!!

The Go Fish Guys!!

Waiting patiently for the concert to start...

in the hot sun!!!

 J. doing some dancing!

 A. enjoying her toes!

 The Go Fish Guys singing. It was a great concert!

 Some more dancing...

 He was in ahh of them!

 Papa really enjoying the Go Fish Guys...

or maybe we were enjoying the shade!!!

 And just a little clip of J. favorite song and

favorite part of the song too!!!

Day 2 of activities!

Day 2 activities started out with some more 

slides and bouncing. 

Then we moved on to face painting 

and arts and crafts.

Ema was the first brave one to get her face painted!

 A. and I working hard on trying to make 

a beaded cross necklace.  Lil A. was a lot of help with this!

 J. getting his face painted for the first time ever!!

 Actually did very good holding still.

 Adi getting her face painted next!

The kids making bandanas!

 A. just waiting to get her hands on something!

 Next we moved onto tie dying t shirts for 

all the kids!  We started out by putting rubber bands 

around the shirts to make patterns.

 Next we dipped the t-shirt in the die

I choose to do this for J. so we did not 

have a complete mess!!

 E. waiting for her turn!

 J. lost interset and moved onto panning for gold!

 S. and A. dying her shirt.

 A. sound asleep!

 J. and A. panning for gold.

 Next J. and J. moved onto golfing.

 Quickly distracted by the fire truck.

A fun day with lots of activities to do!!
