Baby K

Gotta love taking a picture of a picture!! So this is my first baby photo shoot....not that I am a professional by any means! It was really fun though and so glad I could get a few good pictures in, she was not in the mood that day to play dress up!!

Thanksgiving

We had a nice family Thanksgiving. I woke up with a migraine that day but managed to get in a small nap and work through it all. Garrett fried the turkey again this year..YUMMY! And I made green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, and chicken dressing. Baked some crescents and opened a can of cranberries and there you have it...thanksgiving dinner! After dinner we went over to our newest neighbors house for dessert. I made a pecan pie. We had a great time with our "family" there and even got to cuddle with the new baby on the block! She sure is a cutie! Soon after that it was off to Walmart for pre Black Friday sales, where I stood in a group for 3 1/2 hours for our new computer. It was crazy and fun, but I'm not one who will do it every year....unless there is a killer sale of course :) Sure hope everyone had a blessed day!

First Snowfall

He fell down and got snow inside his jacket!

Austin throwing a snowball at Madison

So happy :)

The kids literally woke up and wanted to go play.

Week 3!!

Its been 3 weeks since I've started potty training Austin and I must say its been going really good! (knock on wood) :) He's so much different than Madison, in a good way....and bad. On one hand the peeing is much easier and he's gotten the hang of it really quickly. And if he does have an accident its little cause he stops and finishes in the potty. Madison just soaked everything! Going #2 is becoming a bit of a challenge, but we did make progress last night. So all in all I'm glad I started before he turned 3!!

Ok so its been pretty busy around here since Halloween. Of course the potty training takes up alot of time and energy. We tore down the wall where we have been wanting to build our computer nook. Garrett did the sheet rock and texture. We had someone come do the taping though. So its all painted and ready for a cabinet and a counter!! It looks awesome and opens up the hallway so much. Garrett really did do a great job making his vision come true!!

Austin's 3rd Birthday party was Chuggington themed. He loves those trains!! I had a great time decorating and getting creative with it all. We had a small party at the house with his buddies and family. We did a small game, colored some pages, hit a pinata, and ate hot dogs and cake. It was so relaxing!! And thank you for all the wonderful gifts!! Hope you got the pictures I sent through Walmart.

Up next is Thanksgiving and then Garrett is off to California for a business trip for 2 weeks. Not sure what we are gonna do without him. Aunt Traci and Uncle Phillip will come up for a few days to visit and that will be so nice. And thats about it here. Madison is loving school!! She's reading and spelling and just being a 5 year old girl....she loves dancing and doesn't care who is watching. I took her to the mall yesterday and she was just dancing away. It was so fun!!

Trick-or-Treat

Ok so this is two weeks late, but its here....finally!! Once again it was just me and the kiddos this year on Halloween. We met up with our friends and went trick-or-treating together. Me, her, 4 kids, and 2 hours of fun!! It was a blast. The kids really got into it this year and had a lot of fun.

No More Training Wheels For Madison!!

Its been a couple of weeks since we've taken off her training wheels and we are so proud of her. She took a pretty big fall the first day, knocked her teeth loose and scrapped up her face in a couple of spots. But just a few hours after her fall she was back on her bike. We couldn't believe it! Now her and her friend Kesler zoom zoom around the neighborhood :)

Halloween Pictures

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Took the kids out today to get some fun pictures in their Halloween costumes. The bottom two of Austin we did a few days ago . They said they had fun and kept thanking me for taking them out to do their pictures, but i'm not sure if that had anything to do with the skittles I bribed them with LOL!! Anyway, there are tons more that I will send through email later today.
