Happy Halloween

Girly Girl and her Pup

You have to turn off the sound on my playlist to hear the giggles

OK I had to post

because I am just amazed at how fast he grows.

their new hat

Abby had her school pumpkin patch field trip on Friday in the pouring rain. This was Rick's year to go and if you know anything about him you know that even though he is an Oregonian, he does not like rain. NOT. ONE. BIT. He doesn't like bees, or bananas either in case you care.

and what's this? no pictures of Cooper? Sorry maybe next time.

Abby had a cold and then gave it me.... thankfully it was a quick one. Seems like all we do from October until March is take turns getting sick. Wasn't able to run very much this week but I've taken the pup on two 2-mile runs now and he's doing great. We still have lots of practice to do.

The kids got the H1N1 vaccine this week.... that in itself is a miracle.

Happy Birthday!

1st Birthday

I am truly amazed at what a miracle she is- well, both of them. I am praising God for choosing us in the midst of our imperfections, for answering our prayers and blessing us with this little life.

We celebrate today and give thanks for this little girl who seems to grow faster than our hearts can bear.

Birthday Weekend

Abby's bday party was today at Berry Sweet Tea Parties. (http://www.berrysweetparties.com)
I took this coming Monday off because I like to spend their actual birthday's with them. For her birthday she wants to go to the Zoo and Red Robin and because it's going to rain on Monday we are going to the Zoo after church and Reb Robin on Monday. Nothing like spreading your birthday out over a 3-day period. We had a great breakfast this morning with Grandma... not often her and Rick are both off on a Saturday! We went to the pumpkin patch after and got home just in time for the thunder/rain storm.

I love this picture- Aidan wanted him to play space ship over and over and no matter how much his arms hurt he kept doing it for him. I love this man.

Well hello Me-Me

Abby's friend Amelia at school. I brought cupcakes in for them on Friday so I guess that makes her birthday spread out over 4 days.

What Else???

is there to blog about besides the dog??? I got nothing. Look how much he's growing...

Weekend..ing in pictures

I took 97 pictures today trying to work on a little project for Christmas and this is what I get. Is he mooning me?

New fire truck undies from Grandma. Couldn't wait to wash them so he took the tag off and threw them on.

My assistant baker. Seeding and cooking a sugar pumpkin for muffins

I have no words for this little holy terror

But this... I can't stand the cuteness.
