Celebrate! 11-23-07

Grandma planned a birthday party for all of the grandkids where they all got a present. What a thoughtful grandpa. We love YOU!!
Grandpa and Grandma gave Brianna a Barbie horse and Barbie. She loves it and will not let any one else touch it. It makes her smile ever time she plays with it.

They got to decorate there own cupcakes. Clark cried when we sang happy birthday to them.

While we were at grandma and grandpa's we were able to celebrate two birthdays. Brianna which was turning 6 in a few days and Clark was going to be 2 a few days after her. It was nice to have some family around for her birthday. Since her birthday is in the winter she doesn't get to have a lot of family around to help her party!!!!

Playing 11-23-07

Lauren loved her little toys. Everything it good in her world.

There is always fun to be had when lots of cousins are around. The kids love the play house that took some convincing to get out. But- it was well worth the work.
These three girls were cute together. They all sat on this chair and Alica pretended to read jokes to them.

I have a cute video of this but it won't let me put it on right now. I'll try again soon.

Thanksgiving Day 11-22-07

After dinner the kids put together some treats that formed little turkeys. It was fun to see each kid express there own style. I think that one think that they enjoyed the most was making a mess!!!!!!!!!



Later that day I caught my girls sitting together playing a game. It was cute.

Thankgiving Dinner 11-22-07

This year we were able to get together with Shane's family and have Thanksgiving. We did miss Taryn though! Mom made a great dinner and Cherylyn did a awesome job on the rolls and apple pie! Thanks for all the hard work. We were happy that we could join you even if it was just for four days including traveling. The girls loved seeing their cousins and goofing around with them.

Dad's hat 11-20-07

Dad loves to put his hat on Lauren's head when he comes home from work. Doesn't she look good!

lauren's check up 11-01-07

Lauren had her six month old check up. It included her shots that were not fun for either one of us. She got weighed and she is now 15 lbs. That means that she is in the 23% in her age group on weight. She is 27 inches long which puts her at 84% for her age group. Her head is 16.4 inches which is 28%. So- over all we have another small kid. But- who knows she might be the tallest of us all. Time will tell.

Halloween 2007

Trick or treating at dad's work.
Everyone was concerned about Laurens little feet sticking out. But- don't worry she had her feet covered when we were outside.
Last year I showed Brianna how you can sort out your candy and the first thing Bri wanted to to was sort it out. She thought that was one of the best parts. Her favorite candy this year was NERDS! Yuck.
I don't know if you can tell but Paige had her hair in a up due. She loved it and I had fun doing it. We also put sparkles on her face and hair. That was the big thing this year. Even out cat (bri) had sparkles. I called her our glamor cat.
This year for Halloween the kids had a blast! Brianna was a cat (again she was last year too. I couldn't talk her out of it), Paige was a Barbie princess and Lauren was a bumble bee. All of our babies are bee's for the first year. It's just become a little tradition in our family. We had a lot of fun getting ready. The girls were really good and loved every minute. I don't think I heard one complaint all day. HEAVEN!! As you can see both of the girls loved looking at the candy the received. Paige was in candy heaven I had a hard time getting her to look away from it. :) The candy since then has been a good way to bribe the girls to eat their dinner and put away their toys.
