Happy Birthday, Bunny!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUNNY! We love you more!

More than popsicles...

and more than Peek-a-boo!

We are so thankful for you in our lives.  I don't have as many pictures as I would like of Bunny in action - but she is such a blessing and help to me and my boys! We are so grateful to get to see her often.

***************Thanksgiving Part 1***************

 Bunny cooked a feast of ham, mashed potatoes, stuffing, rolls, corn casserole, green beans and green salad! Yummy!

 Colton loved smashing and mashing and crashing the potatoes as he put it.

 He also loved playing with Bunny's toys!

 When the tv was otherwise occupied with football... the boys enjoyed a video together on their little dvd player that we use in the car. This was after both boys had too short of a nap or none at all and mommy caught their bug that they had the night before.

 Colton showing us how tired he was.

 Caden going "night-night" too.

Daddy's favorite pastime on Thanksgiving day :) or any day for that matter!

Thankful!

So thankful for these three blessings. Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

These boots were made for...

sleeping! This is how we found Colton last night sound asleep. He did not have the boots on when we put him in bed...Hmmm. Someone's been playing in his closet. Notice the empty box in his bed as well. It's fun to be three!

We were there!

My dad and Karen surprised Zach, April, Jack and I with tickets to the ALCS

championship game! It was such a memorable night! I have never seen Jack SO excited about sports. If you know him at all - you know that he has watched his teams for so long that he refuses to get his hopes up. When he realized the Rangers were actually looking like they were going to clench the series, he started grabbing his heart and saying "I can't believe it, I can't believe it!" I thought he was going to have a heart attack :) Thankfully he didn't and the Rangers WON!!! I don't think he's ever high-fived so many strangers in his life! The crowd was incredible and people cheered all the way to their cars!

Thanks Dad and Karen for such a great evening - it was so fun to witness history!  And thanks Don and Tianay for watching our boys at the last minute! We owe you one!

 

Notice Zach perfecting the "claw". Sorry I didn't get a better shot of Zach and April.

Confetti!

The Little Moments

These pictures are from August. Just a few everyday shots of our family.

 Colton's first chore - putting the silverware away.

 Coloring time - Caden's first time to color (It didn't last long - he loves to eat the crayons)

 Licking the spatula after making muffins.

 Rest time :)

My sweet sack of potatoes!

 Caden is a ham and loves to pose for the camera.

 Super-Toddler!

 Sweet brothers...

 First time to ever eat French toast. I made it for lunch one day and it was pretty yummy! Colton kept saying, "What is this?!"

 Sharing a drink.

 Riding Daddy the horse! That's almost 60 lbs of giggles :)

 Mommy's boys - all freshly bathed and pj'd :)

I think we're getting the hang of this staying at home thing! Thank you God for the blessing of this time! Help us to savor each big and little moment!
