Lots of stuff!

I know I haven't posted in awhile but things have been super busy around here! Here are a few pictures from around the house the week or so before Thanksgiving, our trip to Gibson Island, their second birthday, and Skylar's first haircut. Enjoy!

Playing in the leaves never gets old for Skylar


He was obsessed with the pumpkin decoration on our neighbor's house.


Does this give you an idea why we had to put carpet on the fireplace?!?


The difference between boys and girls

She was eating with her eyes closed and resting on her hand...so tired but always in the mood for food!

Sitting in his chair and eating fruit....it is a miracle!

Loving her fireman's hat she got after the visit they made to her school.

Wildman in the airport on our way to Gibson Island for Thanksgiving wearing mommy's sunglasses.

What a big girl!! We were so lucky that both of us had an entire row to ourselves.


Beautiful Gibson Island



The big catch....how many did you catch David??!


Checking out the boats that were docked for the winter with Papa


Enjoying the cool weather

Mommy and Elaina

Daddy and Skylar

Yay! A tractor!

Saying hi to Papa who was taking the picture

Papa and Skylar....love this picture!

Sitting and looking out onto the water (and saying Cheese!)

Calling her people

Cousin It (aka Elaina) giving David a back rub

Skylar with Auntie Amy...we miss you guys!!

Ready for his first haircut, on his second birthday

The birthday girl, along for the ride (and hopefully the candy!)

Probably was dancing

Trying to get him in the chair

Of course, if she was getting her hair cut, she would probably not be sitting this well.

Finally it is done! Just a little shorter

Enjoying this present thing

"Wow a new movie that I can shove in and out of the DVD player!"

Checking out the new legos (that would be violently thrown unintentionally in between mommy's eyes two days later...yes, it hurt, and the bruise/cut is still there!)

Blowing out candles with MoMo


Party with friends and family is coming this weekend...

Farm Visit

Found a few pictures of when we went to the farm back in October one warm Sunday afternoon.
WHAT?!?! You thought he would just get out of the car and play? Haven't we seen this before!

Caught checking for poop! (and yes it was there...I have a super nose for it!)

He is up...

And down again! (we have learned to ignore it)

At least one child was happy to be exploring. When Jon asked her if he could hold her hand she said NO, and took off. Miss Independent for sure!

Sippy cup in hand = everything better

Oh and the tractor makes it even better!!

Saying cheese:)

Super happy to find wheels this big!!

Playing in the leaves

The first of many piles of leaves we will accumulate this fall. The kids LOVED playing in them!! (Oh and you gotta love our city...you just blow the leaves into the street and they pick them up for you!!)










He is on the move

She was hiding behind the tree.

Halloween

It was a long day before trick or treating even started. We had Olivia's first birthday party and then my mom and aunts over for dinner. Elaina was a little crabby which is not like her! Once we got them into their costumes though, it was all good. They loved running around the cul-de-sac (we didn't get much further than that!) and would laugh hysterically when they got to the door. There costumes were monkeys and about half way through trick or treating Elaina started patting herself on the head and saying Monkey. Good times!


Not happy about her costume!!

Skylar was much better!

The first house

Running around the neighborhood in the dark is FUN!!

Elaina kept running...I can't believe she didn't fall!


Usually this is Skylar's tantrum pose, but this time he started laughing hysterially.

Family pose

Guess which monkey was ready for bed?!?

Rehydrating after a long night of trick or treating.

Finally we captured a smile:)
