Christmas Trees...

We had a great time on our annual Christmas tree hunting day. We took family pictures and it was freezing. My kids were in good spirits though! We bundled them in their snow gear, Dawson was not happy about it. We walked a little ways and then Daws and I went back to the car and Daddy and Soph continued on in search of our perfect tree. They picked a beautiful one and I can't wait to put it up!

Cheese...

This is Dawsies new trick. Is that not the cutest face you have ever seen? I love him to pieces. He is learning things so quickly now. He stands on his own and has even taken a few steps. He is very curious and gets into everything. I have had to put locks on all the cupboards, and now he figured out open drawers. He climbs onto anything he can and is really fast about it. He will only eat baby food if it is fruit. So we have pretty much given up and he is is eating a lot of table food. He is doing great with it! Soph is just as cute and as funny as ever. She loves her brother and can't wait until it's Christmas time! She saw snow on the mountains and said momma, that means it is almost time for Santa to come! I love my babes and am so grateful to be their momma.

Happy Halloween...

We had a fun and rainy Halloween. Sophie was so excited all day, she wanted to wear her costume the minute she woke up. I made pumpkin shaped pancakes with chocolate chip faces for breakfast. We hung around home all afternoon. We took some pictures, my Minnie and Mickey! They looked so cute. Soph loves that they matched! Around 5 we went Trick or treating to Grandma Webbs and Grandma Sharps. They were both so excited to see the kids. I love my cute Grandmas! When we were done we went over to Gram and Papas for pizza. We trick or treated a few houses in their neighborhood and got caught in a rainstorm. We came home and Cor took Sophie to few houses on our street. They came home and Soph helped me pass out Candy. Chris and Heidi and John and Lisa came over for treats and a scary movie. We talked for a while and then they watched Hide and seek. I couldn't do it so I watched Sense and Sensibility in the office. I am so not a fan of anything scary. I was happy with my choice not to watch it. I slept so much better that night. Sunday we had our spooky dinner after church. I really love holidays with my kids, it gets more fun every year. Dawson ate a candy bar for the first time. It was pretty funny. He was so mad when it was gone. We had a really fun weekend.

pumpkin carving

We got Chinese take out and then came home and carved our pumpkins. Sophie would not put her hand in hers to scoop out the guts. She thought it was funny, but wouldn't do it. Her first pumpkin was like trying to carve a rock it was so hard. We got her another one and she liked it much better. They turned out cute. Sophie carried hers around all over the house and wanted to sleep with it. We told her it needed to sleep outside with the other pumpkins. She was worried it would be too cold and wanted to get it a blanket. We told her pumpkins love the cold, she felt much better after that!

Winter Wonderland...

Sophie was so excited to wake up to snow. She said "It is almost Christmas Time". She can't wait for Christmas time. We pulled out all of our winter stuff and Sophie and Daddy went outside to play. She liked it a lot better than I thought she would. They threw snowballs, made snow angels and built a huge snowman. I am happy to see the snow!

9 months...

My boy is nine months old. I remember when Soph was this age like it was yesterday. He is so much fun and into everything. He just recently learned how to open cupboards. He thinks he is pretty neat and always looks at me with a smile whenever he does it. He also loves to play in the cup drawer and will throw everything in his reach out. He is crawling all over the place and can walk around things really fast. He loves balls so much. They are his favorite thing in the world to play with. He puts everything in his mouth and has almost choked a few times. He says mama and bobba. He is a stinker when it comes to sleep and will sometimes only take a half hour nap. He can run when he is in his walker, I love watching him do it. He is still nursing and I don't see him stopping anytime soon. He is also drinking a few bottles a day. His favorite things to eat are bananas and cereal puffs. He doesn't like vegetables. He still loves to snuggle and I love it too. He is wearing 9 to 12 month clothes and can still fit in a few 6 month and a few 18 month as well. He loves to go on walks and be outside. He unties every shoe he can fine and likes to crawl around with the shoelaces in his mouth. He isn't really into TV but will watch Mickey. He has started dancing anytime he hears music, It is so cute! I am excited to take him to his appointment to see how much he weighs. He is a mommas boy, I love him to pieces and can't imagine my life with out him.

Halliday Halloween Party...

Sophie has been so excited for her cousins to come to her house for a Halloween party. We had a potato bar, a pinata, cookie decorating and the candy bar game. The kids had a lot of fun playing together.
