Little A Personality

Little A is so much fun right now. He is always in the middle of ten different things and wanting us to help him with it. He has become the best big brother to Miss M. As you can see the other day he thought she was cold so he got her another blanket and then decided that she needed him to read to her. There is not a single thing in our house that he can not use to entertain himself. He loves to build and stack things. In the bottom right picture he has taken the tubs that biscuits and cinnamon rolls come in and stacked them to make a spaceship. His imagination just runs wild all the time. On Saturday he got to go hunting with his daddy and you would have thought it was Christmas morning. Bottom left is him all ready to head out bird hunting. He was awesome at pointing out the birds for his daddy to shoot even if they were the wrong kind. If you ask him he will tell you that he and tuck (our dog) found a good bird and daddy shoot and missed it! Really his daddy missed on purpose because last week he got one and their meat was really gross. When we drive places he will point out everything that he know what is. He loves to say "Hey mom ..." before telling me anything. Some of the other things he says that I love are: When he is hungry he will say I want something in my mouth or I want something really tasty. When something breaks, Do not worry mommy daddy can fix anything! Mom toss sisser to me, and I hold her on my legs. Something other things about him his favorite color is orange, he loves tractors, trucks, animals, balls, and playing as if he is an animal. I love this little guy and how he makes it so there is never a dull moment in my day!

Miss M sits up!

It is official Miss M can sit up. She has been trying for a long time but today she has been sitting a lot. She can sit for a long time and play with toys and when she falls she does not cry she just rolls until she can find her toys. Little A wanted me to take a picture of his scary face today and I just loved his other one. He is such a happy kid and I love all his energy he has.

Little A loves Miss M right now he wants her to be a part of everything that he does. The other he was laying and watching a movie and he asked me to toss her over so she could cuddle her. As you can see in the pictures of Miss M sitting up Little A always has to put a fence around her to protect her. I love the relationship they are already forming.

Also I Miss M long hair has gotten longer and I was able to put it into pig tails today!

Halloween 2010

Halloween was great this year! Little A went around asking people "What you gonna be, or what is your costume" for about 3 weeks before Halloween. When they would ask him what he was going to be he would say a skeletor (skeleton). When it was time to put his costume on he did not want to for 2 reasons: He did not want to scare Maddie (our neighbor who is like 75 years old) and the it was not dark outside (I had told him during the week that he could not put on his costume every time he asked because it was not dark outside). Miss M was a Monkey and Little A decided that she needed to be a Monkey in a tree and that daddy needed to be a tree. Adam was a good sport and dressed as a tree. I was a witch and made this big tutu. Little A asked me when I put it on if that was the dudu I made!

Before trick-or-treating we went to Grandma Willa and Grandpa Bob's house. Willa had made these cute mummies out of a chocolate milk. Little A loved that her was going to get to drink it with his breakfast and that it was all his! We went trick-or-treating with Kendal after we went to my parents house for a Halloween party. I remember when I was a child going to my Grandma Pickett's house for her Halloween party so I love that my kids can start to form these memories. A few of the adults dressed up I loved Lance and Tonia's costumes. All the grandkids looked so cute, each one of them have such cute personalities and the come though in this picture. After we ate my mom and dad had a fishing pond where the kids fished for all different kind of prizes. Little A love the plastic farm animals the most that he got. TayTay as Little A calls her is so great to help out all the time with both of my children.

I am so lucky to have a great family that all lives so close together and get along so well.

Miss M 1st Cereal

Miss M had her 4 month check up and is in the 50th percentile in height and weight and her head is in the 25th. With that she now gets to eat baby cereal and she loves it. Little A loves being the big brother and helping her eat it. I will tell him stories about him when he started eating cereal and he now tells me those stories every time we feed her. Next week I am going to introduce baby food!

Miss M wanted to eat the bib and grad the spoon more that eat at first but now she is a pro and loves every time she gets cereal. Little A looks so cute in this picture.

Chillin with Daddy

Miss M has perfected watching TV the same way her daddy does. She also know how to rock his to sleep! On another note Little A is into having picnics he set this one up in Miss M room the other day. He got the big pillow, I got the little on, and Miss M got to sit in the bin! Pizza is one of his favorite foods. Wooden food is better than the play dough that we have been eating lately at these parties.

Pumpkin Carving

Little A was so excited to carve pumpkins this year. He found a picture on the computer of what he wanted his pumpkin to look like and luckily he has a talented daddy who could help him create it. Little A loved putting his hand in the pumpkin and getting the gooey stuff out in his words. The big pumpkin is Little A's and the little on is Miss M's.

I thought it would be cute to put Miss M in the pumpkin and take her picture. Little A thought it was so funny. The pumpkins looked awesome with the lights out in the lit up. Little A was so excited to put them out side and light them for Halloween.

No more Binky

A few Sundays ago Little A woke up from his nap and said he was ready to send his Binky to the Binky fairy. So we went a got a box and put it in it to mail it off. He said that he wanted Grandma Tamra to help him take it to her mail box. On the way over to her house he put his Binky in his mouth and I asked him what he was doing. He said he was saying good buy to it! So far so good. Afternoon was the hardest time for him but now he does not even ask for it. The Binky fairy left him a note that he got to take to the store and pick a toy. He decided to get a garbage truck. A few times he has asked to sent the toy back to the fairy and get his Binky back.

A few days ago we where in the store and Little A wanted a toy and I told him he would have to earn it. He looked at me and said no I do not you just need to call the Binky fairy and she will send me another note and I can get it!

Pumpkin Walk and Parade

A few Friday nights ago we wanted to go to the Pumpkin Walk as a family. I have never been there at night and I will never go again. The walk was cool but if we would have waited in the line to get in we would have been there for hours. Instead we snuck in the exit and went though it backwards. The next day mu hubby had to go into work so Kim and her girls and my kids and I headed to the USU homecoming parade. It was lots of fun. After the parade we all headed to the Pumpkin walk and it was so much better . It was funny because Little A acted as if he had not been there the night before.

The kids loved putting there faces in these pictures, but my favorite is Kim as Harry Potter.

Farm

Over UEA we went to the Farm with our cousins but I forgot my camera. Little A loved it so much that we decided that the next week we would go back. So Little A, Miss M and I headed to the farm. We had so much fun there was only like 6 other people there. Little A loved the ship and the mazes. Miss M was enjoying the sun and the warm weather. I think that Little A favorite thing was to ride the train and sit in the Caboosee (as goofy calls it on one of his fav. movies). Little A loved it so much that I think I am going to get a membership so we can go more often when it is warmer.

FHE

This post is random, or should I say each picture has a different story. The top left is Miss M, she was playing under her toy and I was working in the kitchen, I noticed I had not heard her for a while so when I went to check on her she had fallen asleep under it. I guess she had played too hard. Top Left a few weeks ago for family home evening we learned about families and I thought is would be fun to paint these people and put them together to show our family. By looking at the picture you can see that my Hubby is the one with the art ability so I sure hope our kids follow in his foot steps. Little A painted his and Miss M.

Pony tail, Miss M hair is so funny and I have found that the long hair on the top works great in a pony tail! Little A is so funny he asked me to take this picture of him I think it is because I was taking one of Miss M.

Canning

This year my sister Kim has an amazing garden. I can not wait until next year when I will have one too. Kim made a goal that she would not waist anything that she grew so we canned and canned and canned some more. The only kids involved we mine and Sam for parts of it when she was not at school. Sam was a great help with Miss M and Little A just needed a box to keep him happy.

Also I love this picture on my hubby and our 2 kids they both woke up from naps at the same time and wanted to cuddle with daddy, what a lucky daddy!

Green Tomato Jam, Cucumber and Green Tomato relish are pictured.

Miss M and Mr K

Miss M is about 6 weeks older than her cousin Mr K. In the picture Miss M is about 4 months and Mr K is about 3 months. The bottom picture is of them right after Mr K was born and as you can see Miss M was like a beast compared to him. Mr K is catching up last Sunday we weighed them and they weigh the same and I think that Mr K is longer. They are so cute and I can not wait for them to grow up together!

Jill's Birthday

I have decided once you are a parent you live your birthdays though your children's'. On my birthday we went to eat and My hubby and the kids got me a cake and some flowers. Little A loved being such a big helper and like always Miss A just enjoyed the day. My parents gave me a new garbage can my niece said that it is sad when you get to a stage of life that you want boring things like that for your birthday.
