Faux Pas

Twice! I was going to tell my amazing husband that I loved him - guess what came out of my mouth! "Mommy loves you!" Well, ok not really, but ALMOST!! I was so embarrassed. Then, I was leaving a message for my friend and at the end I said "Ok, I love you, bye" but I did catch myself and said "Oh, thats not what I meant" or something lame like that. Which I do love my friend, but it was just weird.

Great Ideas

I was given this book and I LOVE it! There are some many great ideas in this book for Holiday fun. Some of the crafts are for more older children than my 1 year old and 2.5 year old, but with a little tweaking they could be used. Plus, there are great explanations of our traditions and ways to make things teachable moments. A great gift for someone you love - even if that someone is you!

Beware the Bootcut

I bought Haven some really cute bootcut jeans. They are a little tighter in the thigh and then are wide at the bottom. One thing I did not realize - Babies just learning to walk do not take kindly to restriction on the thighs. The first time I put them on her she threw a fit cause she couldnt walk. I was finally able to get her to wear them today, but she was walking obviously more stiffly. Beware the bootcut for new walkers!

Shameless Plug

Our friend Max Wyatt has decided to take his hobby of photography to the next level and take pictures professionally. He has always taken amazing shots of his kids - he is very talented. Another great thing is he has small children so he is familiar with how challenging it can be to capture the kids, but like I said, he does a great job. My favorite thing is his fee includes the digital pics he takes. Something that makes my heart happy, cause we all know how expensive it can be to purchase digital pics.

Birthday Season

October marks the beginning of birthday season for us! Haven and Neil both have birthdays in October, my birthday is in December and then Justus' is in February. So, in just a few short months, we all have new toys, new clothes and have eaten lots of cake and ice cream! Not to mention this is all around the Holiday Season, as you know. Between Trick-or-Treat candy, Thanksgiving feasts, Christmas yummyness, New Years celebration and Valentine treats and Birthday fun, we are full, fat and happy!! Here are some pics from Justus' 1st birthday.

Girly bows

I got my girly bows in the mail today. Now we just need to teach Haven to keep them in her hair. All of a sudden she wants to pull them out. Any tips??

Football Boy

Justus got a new football jersey when Neil got his red shirt to wear to the game last week. Oh, and they both got new hats. Justus loves his! So now we can really play football! ;)
