Very Thankful!!

Happy

Thanksgiving!!

I swear I only blinked once and now Daisy is 3 months old! She is so cute!

Hi There!

It was a little hard to tell whether Daisy was a bank robber or a kitty in the previous Halloween pics. So, I got some shots with better lighting. Whoo, check out those blue eyes! I am going to try to get better shots of my other cuties too.

The other night we had BBQ Beef sandwiches for dinner. While I was trying to eat, Daisy was requiring to be held! Of course she was wearing white! So, I tucked a napkin in to the back of her outfit so I wouldn't drip on her clothes. I still managed to get BBQ sauce on her sleeve!

I tried to add a video of Lily's Veteran's Day Program but I shot it vertically, and need to figure out how to post it so you don't have to see it sideways!

Trick or Treat

Here are my little spooks! Lily wanted to be something scary this year and picked a vampiress costume. So, I was pushing for the boys to get the skeleton costumes so they would all coordinate with the same scrapbook paper. Hee Hee Hee! Luckily it didn't take much convincing. The boys learned "Trick-or-Trick, smell my feet, give me something good to eat!" and they were singing it all day and even serenaded some of the houses passing out candy. Thank goodness they don't know the toilet version! Even Daisy went Trick-or-Treating. She slept the whole time and since she's getting a little heavy, we had to keep passing her around. Luckily we had 4 adults!

This is our Family Pumpkin. We waited til the last minute to get pumpkins and the reasonable places were all out! We had to go to a pumpkin lot and they only had humongo pumpkins left and they cost about $20. The kids weren't too happy but Donn talked them in to sharing one big pumpkin. Everyone took turns scooping guts and everyone got to choose how one part was carved. It all turned out ok!

Sooooooooo Big!

Daisy is 2 months old now! I can't believe it! She weighed 10lbs 13oz at her 2 month doctor visit (that's 50th percentile). She is such a good girl and we are all really enjoying her! This was the 1st photo shoot with her beautiful smile. She's wearing the darling outfit from Grandma Lindy. She is already very good at putting up with me and my photo shoots!

Happy Halloweem!!!

These aren't their costumes. Stay tuned for the real Halloween fun!

A Musical at The Oswald Theater

The other day the kids put on a play for me. It was called "Thunder Mountain"
Lily was a princess who lived on top of the mountain and she was waiting for a prince to come and marry her.
Ashton and Bailey were cowboys "Smith" and "Big"
They had horses and little pistols.
The first musical number was Smith and Big singing about how they were going to marry the princess:
"I'm going to marry the princess" sang Smith
"No, I'm going to marry the princess" sang Big
"No I am"
"No I am"
"No I am"
"No I am"
Lily had music from her piano playing and she would whisper the words to the boys before they sang.
Then both the cowboys raced up the mountain to ask the princess to marry them.
Next the princess sang about how she couldn't marry the cowboys because she wanted to marry a prince. And she was sorry but she wasn't that "in" to horses. Lots of singing "I'm sorry!" over and over! Eyes closed, arms outstretched.
The same music as the cowboys' song played on the piano, just different words.
And that was the end. I really had to contain my laughter! They did a great job with very little rehearsals. Oh, my silly kids!
