Halloween

The weekend before Halloween we went down to the county and went to the riverwoods and did there trick or treat festivities and it was fun my favorite part was this couple walked past us and she was snow white and he was prince charming so of course I had to stop them and ask for a picture they looked great! then after we went to the annual pumpkin carving festivites at my grandmas house and did a little pumpkin carving and we teamed up and had a little competition. Jax and I made the scary face and Dave and Maddison made the kitty. The winners got icecream and of course we could not just choose one so we all went out for icecream.

BRYNLEE IS ONE!!

I cannot believe that time has gone so fast but Brynlee is ONE and it has been so much fun. A few facts about Brynlee are...

• She is crawling and push walking things everywhere.
• She is into everything and has these faces that you can tell exactly what she is thinking depending on the face she pulls.
• She is now facing forward in her car seat and she loves it. The first time she was facing forward she kept hitting Maddison and smiling like do you see this I am one of the big kids now.
• She has to have her pink silky blanket and of course her thumb in order to get to sleep.
• I am unsure how much she weighs but if I had to guess I would say about 23lbs and I am not sure how tall she is we go in to the doctor next week so we will find out then.
• If she does not get her bottle fast enough or her food she will do this high pitch squawk it is at just the right pitch to make you curl your toes when you hear it.
• She loves to crawl around and explore especially the marker bucket. I swear i clean up that thing over a hundred times a day.

Look at me I am forward!!

So what ya going to do about it ? I'm not listening!

Just hanging out!

Partners in Crime

These two crack me up when they get together this is Xanderman Jaxton's best friend. These two get together and can play for hours and never fight. They are so funny to listen to and the conversions that three year old's have these days are hilarious. They can compete against each other on the WII for hours if we would let them. They love to watch power rangers together and then fight the bad guys after the show is over. They are cute kids! I am so glad he has such a good friend.

Happy Birthday SIS

Ok so it was my sisters birthday on September 13th and she turned 23 and i must say she has still got it! She can still kick that leg way over her head even in killer heels!! LOVE U ATTY!!!

Peach Days

Well I am proud to say that after two years of missing Dave run into the finish line in the peach days 10K this year WE MADE IT!! Wahooo we were able to see Dave run in this year he made it in 51 mins and 46 seconds!! He did AWESOME! I think he was a born runner. He did not train at all for the race he just ran the saturday before and said ok i can do it. He is amazing. This year my parents also ran in it and they did great! I was very impressed! I know that I could never run a 10K because i am weak sauce!

PRESCHOOL

The day has finally come for Jaxton he has waited for what seems like forever to go to preschool. When he was two he kept asking when he could go to preschool like his big sister and i told him then he was three he could go. So the day he turned three he said "ok mom I am three i can go to preschool". Then we had to explain that it preschool starts in September which was a long time. But he survived and he is finally at preschool and he feels like a big kid! He loves it there and has so much to talk about when he comes home. Dave picked him up from preschool on his very first day and took him to get some icecream and now he thinks that is what we do go to prechool and then get icecream.

Swiss Days

It's that time of year when we get our walking shoes on, wake up before the sun and head on up to Midway for Swiss Days. We have been going to Swiss Days for many years and this is the first year that I have woke up at 4:45 a.m. to drive down to my parents then up to Midway. If you ask my husband he would tell you that I am crazy but he just does not know how much fun we have. The pictures says it all. There were a lot of great booths with wonderful crafts and of course the scones. I would just go for the scones and the jam it is amazing! We had a blast and the best part was we did not buy to much just the usual wrapping paper!
