Cake for Mom!

So for Mommy's birthday we insisted on making her a cake. The first picture was when Michael said he wanted to 'hatch' the egg...Mommy was trying to help him and he squeezed a little too hard and then Mommy spent some time digging egg shell out of the bowl. Mommy kept trying to show me how to spread the sprinkles around but I decided all the sprinkles needed to go into a little pile on the top. Also, we didn't have a '9' candle so that is why we have a '2' (from my birthday), a '4' (from Michael's birthday) and 5 extra candles...boy Mommy is old!

boy that cake was yummy! I kept saying "Mommy. I LOVE chocolate!" And for the record, Michael had more cake on him afterwards than I did - :P

Halloween Candy!!!

We got some early Halloween presents and candy!!! Yesterday a big package arrived that had Michael and my names on it...it was from DziaDzia and Nana!!! It had a special Halloween bowl and plate and bag of candy in it for each of us. Let me tell you we were SO EXCITED!!!!!

THANK YOU DZIADZIA AND NANA!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMY!

Happy Birthday Mama!!! We love you lots!

"I'm Not Done Yet."

Last night DziaDzia and Godpapa Pat called from Alabama. Daddy talked to them for a while and then hung up...I got very very very upset that I didn't get to talk to them. So Daddy called them back and I got to talk. When Mommy and Daddy said it was time to wrap it up I said "What's wrap it up mean?" They said it meant it was time to get off the phone and I said "I'm not done yet.".....I sure miss my DziaDzia and Godpapa!

Sometimes....

Sometimes when you are a little sister you hit your brother for no reason...sometimes you even do it when Mommy and Daddy are watching...Always you will be sent to timeout....Sometimes you will fall asleep there...

Yay for Leaves!

Pumpkin Patch Time!

On October 17 our preschool went to the pumpkin patch. It rained buckets the day before so it was nice and muddy for our visit. First my class went to the pumpkin patch and then Michael's class did (we had to ride in a wagon to get to the fields).
Michael (on the left with the hood up) says "MOM! I found the perfect Michael pumpkin!".


Michael didn't want to take his hood off for a pumpkin picture.

"Uh Mom?...I fell down..."

Michael's friends: Aaron and Landon.

I didn't really want to sit and smile...it was cold!

I GOT MUD ON MYSELF....i really don't like to be dirty....

I really really really don't like to be dirty!

Stomping in a big puddle is MUCH more fun!

here are last years pictures.

First Day of School ... a little late ...

September brought the first day of school for Michael and Abby..

This year I am in the 4 year old class with Mrs. Vicki. I go Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I was very excited to go back to school and see all my friends from last year...and meeting new friends.

I wanted to show my teacher that I could write my name - she was very impressed.

I get to go to school this year too!!! Last year I would get so jealous when Michael got to stay and have fun. I am in the 2 year old class on Monday and Wednesday. There are 4 kids in my class so I get plenty of one on one time with my teachers Mrs. Kim and Mrs. Jo. My new friends are Zoey, Annilease and April. I like school but I don't like when Mommy leaves...I cry and cry but my teacher told Mommy as soon as she leaves I stop and have a great time (I'm such a stinker!).

I'm such a good big brother! I'm going to take good care of my Abby at school. By the way - this picture was Abby's idea - she said "Let's hug Michael."

Mommy says "When the heck did they get so big?!"

Sarwa!

This is from a couple of weeks ago when my girl, Sarwa, came to play....she comes to play alot.

We all have a lot of fun playing together. :)

[hey Nana! see punkin patch by me in the bucket? he goes everywhere with me! I LOVE punkin patch! - Abby]

Bath Time Silliness!

It is fun to play in the bath and it is REALLY fun to make silly faces at Mommy!

Fair Fun!

The first week of August Mommy and Daddy took us to the county fair. It was lots of fun. Daddy took me on the faris wheel with Katie and Katie's grandma Jeanie. Then we went to the 4-H barns (where Mommy used to show sheep when she was in middle school and high school) and saw the pigmy goat costume contest...that was really funny. Both Abby and I went on the rides. Abby really liked the cars and I really liked playing miniture golf. We saw our cousins there too and went on a few rides with them (you can see Lexi in the car behind us and Sara in the helicopter). They even had a really fast rollercoaster for little kids. Abby went on it with me. She wanted to go on it but decided once it started going that it was a little too scary (note the look of sheer terror on her face)...she was fine but said she didn't want to go on it anymore.

Trying Something New...

Mommy here: It looks like blogger will let us post videos directly now! Wahoo!! These videos were taken while we were waiting for our plane home in San Diego. The videos aren't the best but now that I know we can post videos I'll take more of them. Enjoy!

Sometimes No Caption Is Necessary...
