A new pet

Well, this spring we said goodbye to our gerbil Tommy. We had had him since Emma turned 6. So with the little prodding from the kids we went out last week and got Abraham Lincoln "Abe" (named so by Emma for his black beard and hat... don't you love kid's logic?)

Smile Abe!

Halloween Fun

Here's some pictures from Halloween. The girls wore their costumes all day, which resulted in Leah having to change to a different costume before Trick-or-treating (her UoU outfit got chocolate all over it).

And brace yourself...yes, I actually dressed up too to take them out... a first for me, but I guess I was in a goofy mood. I get queasy now looking at the pictures... how dumb of me... hahah

Dimples!

I don't want...

...to wear underwear or pull ups!!! I want a diaper!!!


Oh boy! This potty business is going to be tougher than I thought.
Wish me luck

Photo session for Joseph and Leah

Back to the usual

This week, Bekah's 2nd grade class had a story telling day and Bekah chose the story of Cinderella to tell her class using costumes and props. She had fun getting ready for it and did a great job of presenting it to her class.

We haven't really had too much going on the last few weeks, so I haven't updated much, but here's a couple of pictures of Joey.


We had Joseph's baby blessing yesterday. I am waiting on some more pictures. As soon as I get them I'll post them here so check back later.

It was a great day, all except the fact that it snowed! We had lunch afterward at our home and when it was all done the girls all went out to the backyard to play in the snow.

and yes, Leah really is wearing her dress and tights still instead of snowpants... she didn't care one bit.

October Flashback

In the spirit of the season, here's a flash back to the kids Halloweens. Enjoy!
