Halloween

I did not think we would be celebrating Halloween this year. The night of our ward party the kids and I were not feeling good, so we missed that. For about two weeks before Halloween I would ask James if he wanted to try on his costume, he would yell "no" and run away. It was not so important to me that I would want a tantrum from it. 

 Well Halloween night came and we did force his costume on. He cried about a minute, and then was perfectly fine. He LOVED it. It did not take him to long to learn that when he knocked someone would give him candy. We will see how he does next year :) 

Millie fell asleep like 2 minutes in.

Mac N Cheese

What do you do with your mac n cheese? I bet it is not as cool as this... 

Millie is 5 Months Old

Millie is now 5 months old. She still loves laying on her back, but is starting to like her tummy a little more. She loves watching us, especially Sage. She still is being a great sleeper!! We are so lucky. She sleeps about 8 hours her first stretch and then another 3. She loves sitting upright. She loves to talk to us, and is starting to laugh a lot. She really gets going when you play peek-a-boo.We did start her on cereal, but then she started to get really gassy. She was having a hard time going potty (like she would cry for 3 hours while she was working on it).

We all love her. Especially James. Anytime someone else comes up to her, he runs over, stands between them, them pushes the other person away. He always wants to hold her, and get in her face and say "hi". Maybe she is loved to much (luckily that is not possible :)

James just had to have a picture too, this was the best we could do

Love Them!

Yes James is a little teary eyes. He just woke up from his Sunday nap :)

Windy Day

We had an extremely windy day today. BUT I had to wash some sheets, and of course I hung them out to dry ( I am not ready to give up my clothes line). James LOVED being outside. He loved running in the sheets and running in the wind. I know are days are numbered where he will have fun outside. I am not sure how either of us are going to survive when it gets to cold.

Park Day

My friend Jessica and I decided to take the kids to the park before the weather changes to much. James and Maely loved playing together, and are getting to be good friends. James loved the slide, the merry-go-round and following the big kids. Sadly these are the only pictures I was able to get.

The Box

We got a new rocking chair. What is the funnest part to a kid when you get new furniture??? 

THE BOX!!!

James saying "Cheese"

Trying to walk with the box on his head

Millie does this all day. She just lays there and holds her feet up.

Pumpkin Carving!

I just have to say I love our days together!

I am not sure why, but this is how we play with monster trucks

This is how I found him during his afternoon nap

Starting to carve the pumpkin

This is James "I don't want to touch that"

Conference Weekend

I love watching/ listening to Conference. Having 2 small ones makes it hard, that is why I am so thankful for the media and all the ways I can watch/listen/ and read them again.

We did not do too much but try and watch conference. The kids just played together.

Millie drooled, James was concerned

So James went and got a wipe to clean it up

One major thing was that we took off one side of James crib. I know we are crazy right?? I kept having this thought that it needed to come off. I think he is the only kid I know who tries to climb into his crib, and never trying to climb out. He maybe cried for 2 minutes, and then we found him like this...

Pumpkin Patch

We went and got our pumpkins today! The Country Mercantile is an awesome place. It had a huge pumpkin field where a tractor takes you out to go look for your own pumpkin. It has 2 straw towers, a corn maze, petting zoo and in the afternoon a few carnival rides. We all had a blast :)

We got lost, and came back out through the entrance. We later learned the trick is to take every turn to the left.
