Fun Weekend...

It started with my birthday on Friday...

I was spoiled...
My kids gave me sweet cards & I got $35 dollars, since I'm now 35!

I love their cute messages!

Then we went to lunch & Gardner's Village to see the witches...The kids even had the day off!

It was a beautiful day!

It is a little "stinky" that I'm getting so old, but it was a great day!

That night we went to dinner at Spaghetti Factory...







Then Shelly was so sweet & babysat so Steve & I could go see Footloose.

It was a great day!!

SATURDAY....
We carved our pumpkins.

They were excited...

Libby carved Minnie Mouse

Zack carved a Skeleton

Tyler carved Ginka from Bey Blades.

Sophie just watched

Steve broke out the power tools to speed things along!

Happy Halloween!!

SUNDAY....
We had Birthday & Halloween celebrations.

Starting with my dad there is a birthday every other day!
My dad's is October 26th, I'm the 28th, John & Marli the 30th and Shane's is on November 2nd

Shane made the yummy marsipan eye-ball cake!

Shane & Wyatt

I told him to blow the candles out slowly...so I could get a picture.
I got it!

My turn...

Marli's turn...

John is 17!

We made the "70" out of 2 candles & an "o" from the boo napkin!
Happy Birthday Everyone!!

Then came the costumes...

All of the CrAzY kids!!

I love this one...look at Libby's face!

Strike a pose!

Crazy faces...
Now it's time to go get ready for Halloween Night!!!

Happy Birthday Dad!!

October 26, 2011

My cute dad turned "70" this year!

Sophie turned 6 months old today too! We celebrated at Texas Roadhouse.
When I get the photos off my phone....My dad even got on the saddle.


Roy, Anne & Erik joined us for dinner too.

We LOVE you dad!
Happy Birthday!

Sophie Is 6 Months Old...

How could my baby already be 6 months old???

She is growing SO fast...it makes me a little sad.

But,

She is getting to a stage I LOVE!

Her little personality is getting to be so cute & funny.

We love her giggles...

How she yells out & "talks" to us.

Her smile...

Her cute painted toes...

How she loves her hands...

She'll move them & watch them like they're a toy.

She's a maniac in her jumper!

There is a video of this at the bottom of this post.

She has a quick grip...she'll grab & eat whatever is in front of her (especially paper)!

I love the way she attacks the spoon when she eats.

I have to get a video of this.

How she is so proud of herself when she does something new.

I love that she sleeps at night, but

My favorite thing...the huge smile she gives me EVERY morning!

This baby absolutely melts my heart....She is such a gift!!

We LOVE you Sophie!

Sorry it's sideways...I need to work on my camera skills! ;)

Ice Skating...

We took the kids ice skating for the first time last year. They absolutely loved it!

Libby has been begging to go ever since...you can guess who is dying to have lessons!

That would be Libby!
We had such a crazy-busy week...Steve had something EVERY night. So we spent the day together & ended it with ice skating. It was a great day!

Steve was their skating buddy...

While me and Sophie cheered them on & took pictures!

Zack was cracking me up with his moves!


These two still have a lot of fun together!



Tyler kept stopping by to say "Hi" to me & Sophie.

So would Steve...

Then they'd be off again...

Zack stopped by to entertain Sophie with a picture...

Because she got a little bored & started "un-decorating" herself!
She almost got it off ...I knew this day would eventually come. :(

It was a fun night!
We finally got to see Steve this week!
