Too much turkey? You be the judge.

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving, I know we did, though I think we ate a little too much this year!!!

Halloween

This year for Halloween we had a party at my parent's house Friday night. We all had to dress up which Troy hates, but he didn't mind the Big Foot costume that I found. It was awesome. He made all the little kids cry, including Miley and he only kept it on for pictures because it was too hot. He did wear it to work that day and hid under his buddies desk and scared the crap out of him when he came in, so it was a successful purchase.
Me and Miley were witches, Carston was a karate kid and Dax was a Ninja
Stacey and her family
Brian and Brooke
Kari and her family

Sheri was the "Other Mother", Eva was Coraline and Clint was the "Other Father" (all from the movie Coraline). Eva loves that show.
My mom and dad. My Dad looked so funny with his fake teeth, all the little kids were scared of him.

Dax had been to a birthday party earlier that day and didn't want to wash off his Dragon face paint.
Eating our yummy spooky food


Miley and Eva decorating cookies
Trick or Treating on Saturday. Miley loved it. The boys wanted to stop before she did.

September and October

Dax started kindergarten. It seems like he has been waiting a long time. What a handsome boy!

All the boys at the bus stop
He was so excited to finally get to ride the bus

Coming home with big smile
Miley has been potty training since September. She is doing great at pee pee, but did number 2 on the potty three days in a row and then decided she didn't want to anymore. She is wearing underwear and stays dry, but I get the fun job of cleaning out a little nugget every day. I'm not sure why she won't poop on the potty anymore, but I'm trying to be patient. Don't you just love potty training. I thought girls were supposed to be easier!

Dax turned 6 and we had a huge party with all the boys in our neighborhood. Troy thought I was crazy, and maybe I was, but they had a great time. There were ten 6 yr. olds.
Pillow fight!

Eating pizza!
We had a pinata, but I forgot to take pictures of that, I was too busy trying to keep the boys from getting hit by the bat.
Dax lost his first tooth a few weeks ago, you can see the hole on the bottom.

Watching How to Train your Dragon. If you were wondering, they did not sit like this the whole time, as soon as their popcorn was gone they were jumping all over the couches. I had to threaten to turn the movie off and send them home quite a few times.
Miley girl turned 3 four days after Dax. The end of October is so busy at our house.
I got her cake at Lee's Market. It was so cute. The castle opens and all the princess' can fit inside. The castle has a handle on it so she can carry it around.
Blowing out her candles. If you look close, you can see that the castle caught on fire and I had to jump in and blow it out. The handle got pretty melted, but we were able to save it. It was pretty funny, luckily we have it on video and you can hear my bro-n-law yelling the cakes on fire!!! Next time I'll be more careful where I put the candles.
Eating her icecream
Opening presents

She got a ton of dress up clothes. She was so excited!
She totally got hooked up.

The kids are getting a baby . . .

I made the kids Jello and covered it with whip cream. I told them that if it was blue we were having a boy and pink if it was a girl. I got this idea from my friend Katie.
Dax was the only one that would pose for a good bite picture

Hooray its pink!
I couldn't be more happy. Miley gets a sister and I don't get another crazy out of control boy! I would have been happy either way, but this is what I was hoping for!

Happy Halloween!

It was so neat to see him get baptized. It made me feel old.

Miley is still scared of them. She hid under this blanket the whole time.
