Crazy Hat & Socks..........

It was crazy hat and sock day at school! Luke loves showing his School spirit! He came up with his own ideas and was very proud!!

Tis the season......

For a new job! I am happy to announce that Brittney got hired on with Old Navy as seasonal help!! YAY!
She had 2 hours of register training and then was on her own! Kind of crazy to me and she said they didn't teach her to do returns etc so she is pretty stressed trying to figure out things, they didn't even teach her to use the walkie talkie! YIKES!! But she is asking and hopefully will get it all figured out, she has only worked 1 day while the store was open! Its a job and she is getting the experience and that's the important part!

Morning rituals...

Every morning after Luke eats breakfast and brushes his teeth he asks (he always asks) to go play with Blake. If Blake is awake and just playing in his crib (which is usually the case every morning when Luke asks) I say yes. Luke climbs into Blake's crib and usually gets things of his to show Blake. Usually they get to spend between 10-15 minutes playing before its time to get ready for school. It is so cute to listen to them over the monitor, Luke shows him his pencil toppers and teaches Blake what each animal is, I hear Luke say "this is a whale" then Blake says "whale'. Its adorable and a great way to start the day!



On this particular day they were playing with Luke's hockey figures
Blake has gotten to the point where he actually calls for Luke... He yells "UKES".

Halloween 2011

One of the kids favorite holidays!
Pumpkin carving was Saturday the 29th. Kyle does his 100% on his own now! Luke degutted his by himself and G helped carve it! Brittney doesn't carve pumpkins anymore and Blake painted his tiny one!










They can dress up for school as long as they have a book to go with their costume! Just can't have blood and gore!



This year Brittney was a Baseball player/fan, Kyle was a crazy/bloody clown, Luke was a Skeleton Zombie and Blake was Elmo.





Blake loved going door to door and getting candy. After every door he would say ~More houses~.


Every year Kyle loves decorating for Halloween. He wants our house to be one of those houses where there are strobe lights all over and fog lamps. He wants a grave yard scary feel! We aren't quite there but he does a good job decorating with what we do have!
We add more stuff every year and I even went out the day after Halloween and got some things for next year at 60% off!

Party games!

Oct 30 Our niece (kids cousin) Emmalynn turned 3!
They had a party at Gram and Papa's house and had a lot of fun games for the kids!
They bobbed for apples, that was a little hard for Luke since he is missing his 2 front teeth.
The had a donut eating contest, donuts were tied to string and they had to put their hands behind their backs and eat the donut.



They went on a treasure hunt and had a pie eating contest. It was a candy pumpkin hidden in a mound of whip cream, they had to be be the first to pull the candy out with their mouth to win!
Blake got to use a spoon!





It was a fun party and we all had a good time!

Hard Worker

That is what the coaches on Kyle's team choose weekly. They give the one who played the hardest in the game the hard hat. Oct 23rd Kyle was the ~Hard worker~


Good job Kyle!

No Cavities!!

6 Month dental check up for all 4 kids!
Blake will not sit in the big dental chair, so he lays on their lap. He doesn't cry and he lets them clean his teeth! He does great!


Sad to say that after this visit Brittney will only see this dentist again one time. She is moving on to a regular adult dentist! They have been seeing her since she was 2!

I think Luke is the most excited to go to the dentist out of all 4 kids.


Kyle only has 3 more baby teeth to lose then its time for braces! He is so excited!



One on one

One on one time..... Things are always special when you get those one on ones...

Our family was invited to a birthday party, but since Luke had a horrible cough and had ran a fever all week we decided it wasn't the best thing to have him at a Bounce house Birthday party. Kyle wanted to still go so he could hang out with his friends and Luke was so upset. Brittney then said "Luke how about you and I go see Dolphin Tail", that made Luke happy! Kyle enjoyed his time with his friends and Luke enjoyed his time and movie with his big sister!
