Are you comfey?

This is not the first time I've found Olivia sleeping sideways in her crib. I think she finds this position pretty comfey.

Great Horned Owl

In November we took the kids to Benton Lake to look at wildlife. Just as we started our adventure we were pleasantly surprised to see a Great Horned Owl perched in a tree just off the road. The kids loved being so close to it.

Halloween

Surprisingly it was not snowing on Halloween. Generally it is; it was great to walk with the older kids and push the babes in the stroller and not be freezing. My nieces Savannah(1yr. ) and Madison (5yrs.) spent the evening with us.

Wow, time to catch up!

I have missed about 5 months of news around our house. I need to catch up. Kevin will be going to Reno for work this weekend so I fully intend on updating my blog. I have to post lots of pictures including our trip to San Diego and our growing family. Hang in there, posts are on their way.

Rosie says some funny things

Recently Rosie has totally cracked me up. Here are a few instances where she has said some pretty funny things. Well, at least they're funny to me.

1) I was cleaning up after dinner and Rosie was discussing her new Happy Meal Toy with Carson. He held out his hand and asked if he could see it and her reply was, "No it's expensive, I got it at McDonalds!"

2) Have you seen the Smooth Away, hair removal buffer sold on TV? Rosie was watching the commercial and she said to me, Ma Ma, you could get one of those cause you have lots of hair on your legs like Daddy. She also said something like, look she is using in on her face too? I was like, wow thanks Rosie. Hey it's winter and I'm not shaving everyday if I don't have to. By the way, my hair is not as long as Kevin's.

3) We rented a sedan while our van was at the body shop having some work done as a result of someone trying to break into it on vacation. Rosie is used to our van and has not really ridden in a car before. So after we returned the car and got our van back she said, "Mom what happened to the blue squished car we were driving. Why can't we drive the squished car, I liked it?" I asked her why she called it a squished car and she told me that it was squished like a pancake and held up her thumb and pointer finger making a small gesture telling me that it was not tall like our van, but really close to the ground.

Cousin's Halloween Bash

It's great to have the cousins all together. They just love being with one another. We hosted a Halloween party for the cousins at our home and her are some pictures of our activities. We painted pumpkins in the front yard, had a costume parade around the block, played musical chairs, danced and snacked. It was fun to have them all together for such a fun holiday celebration.
