JJ

This is what I find when JJ gets a hold of my camera! I usually delete them but I thought, what the heck, lets show the world what my baby boy can do!!
He is such a nut ;)

Pumpkin Pie

Last year Jacob discovered pumpkin pie and watch out! He loves the stuff. Neither Brian or I have ever been a fan so we just let him go with it and for his birthday or whatever occasion we celebrated, pumpkin pie here I come!!
Of course we had one for Thanksgiving and this is a note we found 2 days later:
Dear Mom & Dad,
I don't like pumpkin pie anymore.
That's the truth.
It tastes soggy to me now.
Love, Jacob

Ha!! Isn't that hilarious??!?! Apparently he ate it the last few times because he didn't want to hurt our feelings ;)
I love him!!

Tis the Season

We put up Christmas lights!! Well, Brian and the kids did lol ;)
We had a great Thanksgiving and now we're ready for Christmas.
We have a Santa and 2 reindeer blowup for the front yard and sadly, it's seen better days ;( It wont turn on so now we have a bare yard but that's ok our neighbors have plenty of lights and decorations to look at!
Can you believe little Haylee on the roof??

Lunch Duty

Jacob was offered the job of lunch duty!! He loved it, I don't know if it was more of getting out of class for awhile or getting to each lunch before everyone else lol!!

Encouragement

This is what I came home to the other day.. It just makes my whole day to know that I have my little ones with me and even when I'm grumpy they still love me!!

Haylee's Diary

Haylee is so cute! She loves writing and making little books. This is what I found in her room the other day...

My Secrit Diree
Ellstratd by Haylee Stratton

On a ton of pages she traced her hand and wrote our names on the fingers.
How cute is she??

On the back pages she wrote out the whole song Families Can Be Together Forever, which just happens to be one of my favorite songs :) She was singing it out as she wrote it and it melted my heart.

I love my little family and I'm so grateful to know without a doubt that we can be together forever!!

Halloween!!

For Halloween we went to the mall, a radio station was broadcasting and the stores were handing out candy!! While we were outside the DJ came up to the kids and put them on the radio, wow that made their day lol!!
The employees were all dressed up, here are some funny costumes we saw....

There were WAY to many guys dressed like girls!! It was so gross, the kids wouldn't even look at them... hairy legs in booty shorts and tank tops with their bellies hanging out, yuk!!!

Haylee was Cinderella, Joey was Phineas, Jacob was Ferb, JJ was Perry the Platypus, and Brian was Dr Duf........
It was so funny to watch JJ, he had no idea what we were doing but after about the third store he put his bag up with a smile and said "Thank you!!"

He refused to wear his little beak but he was still adorable ;)

When we got home we took the kids around the neighborhood. Halloween is not my favorite but it was fun for the kiddos ;)
