Family Photo

Today we got family pictures done with my parents and Jason, Emily, and the kids. Taking the picture wasn't the tough part, getting someone who knew what they were doing when it came to printing the picture was the hard part. Two hours later we finally got to go home.


Jeff, me, Keith (my dad), Marla (my mom), Jason (my brother), Emily, Braycee, Tilman, Parker, Peyton.

Fall

On Sunday, Jeff was home with us for the first time in 4 weeks. We really enjoyed having him home with us, even though while were outside raking and jumping in leaves he was changing the oil in the van. Peyton and I had a good time raking up the leaves and jumping in them. Parker joined us for a little while until it was naptime.



This is Parker laying on a blanket playing with Peyton's football.

Peyton had a lot of fun jumping in the pile and putting piles on top of his head and pretending to be "broccoli" (his words).

Couldn't get Parker to smile, but I think it still turned out cute. (if anyone is good at photo editing, can you help me figure out how to blur out images in the background that I don't want in the pic - like the neighbor's shed)

Parker is OBSSESSED with putting things in his mouth, so sitting in the leaves didn't last long.

Halloween 2008

Halloween was fun, but a little stressful. The boys were just starting their colds and I was battling the constant nausea that comes along with the 1st trimester of pregnancy. But I was able to get a few cute pics before we headed out. We went to see all of our families on Thursday night and then went trick-or-treating on Friday night in our neighborhood.


Peyton loves to do Spiderman "moves" or "stances", even when not in costume.

Parker was in good spirits despite the 4 top teeth coming in and his cold. He always has a bib because of his reflux, so that's why it's rare to see him without one. I try to remember to take it off before I take pictures. He looks kind of stuffed into his costume with this bib on. :)

Peyton got this pirate set last year and loves making it every Halloween. He took it for Show-n-tell and the kids flipped out. They thought it was so neat.

Peyton had his friend Vinny and his brother John and sister Gia over to go trick-or-treating.

Life

So it's been a while since I posted... we have had a very sick household. It first started with Parker getting a head cold and 4 teeth all at once (which are still not in!!!!) and then Peyton started with the runny nose. A week later Parker got an ear infection and croup on top of the 4 teeth. So needless to say my usually VERY content baby has been extremely fussy. Peyton ended up with a fever and full blown cold as well. Just as Peyton was starting to recover, Jeff and I got what the boys had. YEAH, what fun! So we are all starting to feel better finally. Hopefully those teeth will come in soon for Parker's sake and mine!! I'm ready for my happy baby back.
