Weekly Smiles :)

Oh, the life of a dog....  Isn't it nice?  Kids left a pillow on the floor so she thought it would be a good place to nap!

Hey, there's my feet!

That's so funny!  She was giggling over everything.  I love that sound!

Where's Waldo?  I mean Brooklyn?  :)  I was doing chores the other day and realized I was missing a child. I called for Brooklyn and heard a muffled response coming from the toy box.  I lifted the lid and here's what I found.  Silly goose.  Good thing she answered me or it may have taken a while to find her.  She had the lid closed and there were no toys out of the box.  NO CLUE she was in there!

Where's Madison?  Kids threw a bunch of toys around her and she thought it was so cool to roll around in the big pile.  "So much to choose from.  Where do I start?"

This little boy LOVES his baby sister.  He still wants to hold her all the time, is constantly hugging, tickling and loving on her.  SO CUTE!  He cannot keep his hands off her.  First thing when I bring her down every morning, he starts saying "Good morning Madison" over and over until she smiles at him.  She had an upset tummy the other day and he told her "Don't be sick Madison".  I love the fact that he loves her so much.  He's such a good brother!

No Wasting Here!

Madison is NOT liking the whole baby food idea.  I have made her several different options and so far the only thing she will actually eat is apples... and even then she puts up a fight.  I keep trying though and hope she gets the hang of it sooner or later!

In the meantime, her food is NOT going to waste.  Apparently Trenton likes baby food too :)  Brooklyn feeds him after each meal and he eats every bite left behind.  What a goof!  Brooklyn calls him over to eat his  "squished bananas" or "squished peas".  They crack me up.  He took a bite of peas from his plate and told me yuck, then proceeded to eat the whole container of Madison's peas and told my they were yummy.  They were the same exact peas, only hers were blended with some water.  He's weird.

And while I'm talking about my goofball boy, thought I'd share this.  He's been in his big boy bed for about 8 months now...  and has recently decided to explore new sleeping arrangements after we've tucked him in.  The spot of choice seems to be the stairs where Bailee sleeps.  And this night he had his pillow, blanket, monkey, pillow pet, baby and bear with him.    He was totally passed out.

He sure is a silly boy :)

Happy Halloween 2012

I like doing family themes on Halloween, but didn't have the time or energy this year.  I'll have to get started earlier next year :)

So instead, we have a beautiful Minnie Mouse, a handsome Spiderman...

And the cutest little bunny rabbit you ever did see!

My nephew was a zombie prisoner.  I love the look on Trenton's face when he first saw Tanner.  He couldn't figure out why he was hurt and still smiling :)

Spiderman with his mask.  Good thing I got a picture... He didn't like to wear it and I seem to have lost the mask while we were trick or treating.   Oops. He sure looked cute though!

 I love this little dude and all his crazy picture poses! He's so funny!

Brooklyn woke up sick and I thought we were going to have to miss out on all the fun, but her tummy seemed to have settled during the day so we decided to go anyway.  She fell asleep in the truck so we let her rest there while dinner was cooking.  I think it did her good because she woke up happy and ready to party!

Grandpa and Trenton:

Minnie:

 My sweet girls:

 Carrot anyone? Mmmm....

 The kids all ready to trick or treat.

Me and my crew.  Madison wanted no part of picture taking... She wanted milk instead.

Trick or treat Grandpa! (I think they hit him up at least 5 times)...

Snack time!  :)

We met at Kurt's mom's house this year.  This is the 11th Halloween in my house, and I've only been home once (when Kurt had surgery).  We always get the whole family together.  It's more fun that way.  This year it was us, my parents, my Grandma, my brother and his family, my sister in law's parents and Kurt's sister and husband!  Next year the kids will have a new cousin and they can show him the ropes!

Trick or treating.

I think my little bunny rabbit was worn out with all the tricking!  I had to laugh, we were handing out candy in the driveway and I had Madison in my lap. One of the mom's walking with her kids thought I was holding a stuffed animal until she moved.  She had to come check her out after that.  She had the perfect baby costume!

Back at home and totally wired!

Hope everyone else had as much fun as we did!  Happy Halloween :)
