Getting ready for Christmas...

Even though Thanksgiving is still on it's way we are looking forward for Christmas. I think it's time to start getting ready, for me this includes getting shopping done before it gets too cold and crazy, , looking for the best deals on gifts, finding the perfect p.j.'s for the kids to wear Christmas eve, stocking up on the hot chocolate, and of course our favorite, it's finally time to use the " you better be good so Santa can come" line. Looks like Cooper may need some reminding...




Doesn't he have the cutest sad face ever? I sure think so!!

Leaves are falling all around!

You know it's fall at our house because there is always plenty of leaves to jump in! We have two enormous trees in our yard and the kids love it! It seems like everyday we can go out and rake up a huge pile of leaves. I'm so glad it has been warm enough and not wet so they are fun to play in. Also, I am so glad to have the best mother in law who just shows up with her rake in hand to help! Thanks! Melia even scared her Dad and Uncle Jared by hiding in the leaves and waiting until they got home to pop up and say boo! I make it a tradition every year to take pictures of the kids in the leaves. Here are a few from this year...







If your wondering why Melia has her helmet on in every picture it's because she is attached to her bike lately. But we are so proud of her she learned how to ride her bike without training wheels! She came to Dad and asked him to take them off and in three days she had it down! I couldn't believe it! Here she is with her class "friend" that they pass along she wanted to take her for a bike ride!

We hope you are all enjoying the great fall weather as much as we are!

Halloween Halloween...

What does it mean? It means lots of spooky fun!
