Here's what you've missed.......

We pumpkin carved.
Sooo disgusted at putting his hand in the pumpkin!

Daddy delivered on the awesome pumpkin carving skills!
Who do you think picked this one out?

my two sweet boys- I love this costume! It is probably too sentimental for me to part with now.

We can always count on Grandpa to liven things up!

Halloween
(I can't believe Nathan wanted to wear the peacock again! I was thrilled!)

give Nathan some letters and you will find random funny things spelled on your fridge...
P.S. He really loves Transformers!

Laila's birthday....these cupcakes were time consuming but so fun to look at!

Thanksgiving! We had to take an exact picture like this because we have one of Nathan looking the same on his 1st Thanksgiving.

'Robert' got a huge Lego set for his birthday and Nathan has had lots of fun putting it together with him.

the kids loved their Christmas presents....

really loved them!

they looked cute for Christmas...

and Everett was hungry....the food was ready and no one was feeding him....so Laila stepped in to help. Good ol' Laila.

Which brings us to today......today I wore a new shirt that I took the tags off this morning. New shirt, new confidence, feeling good.......until I came home and realized I had a size "L" sticker plastered to my chest. I am going to go stick my head in the sand now.

Things My Kids Love......

matching jammas...

the woombie...
Seriously, it may be the reason my baby has slept through the night since he was 2 weeks old. I LOVE it!

Daddy!
Who couldn't love that face, look at those baby blues!?!?
(The kid is pretty cute,too!)

tutus....

grabbing cute little toes...he has found his feet!

princess shoes...

tutus.....did I say that already?
They are the accessory to every outfit!

daddy time...

a family hike...
this was one eventful hike, moments after I took this picture, closer to the waterfall-where the rocks are wet, Nathan let go of Robert's hand and took two steps away from him. He slipped wildly out of control and was a handful of shirt away from falling over the edge where he most assuredly would have cracked open his head or broke an arm or leg. Thank goodness for Robert's lightening fast reflexes!

I love this because we have a picture of Nathan that is exactly the same! Everett's first tree experience.....Nathan had a much cooler experience, though because he was at Bryce Canyon.

my kids love this cute, happy baby...

this exhibit at the children's museum...
they would spend the entire day there.

Laila doesn't like this tornado one so much....but, Nathan thinks it's pretty cool.
His hair doesn't get messed up, though, maybe that's why.

Look at that happy smile! They really love the museum!
(I'd avoid this one, though....it smells like whizz!)

And school!
This was from Nathan's first day. He is having a really fun time getting to go school and ride the bus home. He wants to have a playdate everyday and gets really grumpy when that doesn't happen.

We are busy, busy, busy....but try to have fun, fun, fun!

Breakfast Conversations......

Laila: Nathan, come get your opi-done! (like cone, not dun)
Nathan: Laila, it's not opi-done, it's oat-meeeeeaaalllllll.
Laila: (matter of factly) No, Nathan, it doesn't have a 'T' in it. Opi- doooooone. It just has an 'n'.

I love that she still calls it opi-done!
