Thanksgiving

These are the pictures I took around Thanksgiving, it just takes me a long time to post things. Where does the time go? At least my Christmas cards will go out this week. I love them so much. The picture of the kids turned out REALLY cute.

The day of the Holidays are really busy for me with all the family we have, so I try and get the kids the day before in their outfits. But I have the hardest time trying to get a one year old and a 3 1/2 year old to smile at the same time without Abbi's cheesy smile. I know she's thinking..... Will you just take dang picture Mom!?! At first her smile is cute then Thomas isen't smiling and by the time Thomas is smiling and she's done. What can I do??? Nothing!!! I took 62 pictures and these were the best. I love digital pictures this would of been a lot of film!

Halloween night

We had such a fun night on Halloween. It ended up being a super late night. Ending with Rachel and I singing Dirty Dancing at my parents. I'm glad no one took any pictures of that or was recording. At every door the kids were practically taking eachother down to be the first one in to get more candy.

This is on some random persons yard, that we don't even know. But it made a cute picture.


Here are all the kids. They all had so much fun. I was wondering what to do with all the candy, how I was going to keep it all away from Abbi and she forgot about it. It's sitting in the pantry. Although I have caught Bug in there a couple of times.

Napping

Thomas has been transitioning from two naps to one nap slowly over the last month. It has been absolutely amazing the last 2 days that both of my kids are napping at the same time. You'd think my house would be clean or I'd be scrapbooking. To tell you the truth, I've haven't done a darn thing and I love it. I'm watching the E! Channel and just relaxing. It feels really good.

Tonight we are going Trick or Treating in Verdi after dinner at a friends house. I hope we have a good time. It's a little cold out. But growing up in Tahoe, I don't really remember a Halloween without snow or crummy weather. Last night we took the kids to a Haunted House. Abbi really wanted to dress up as a poodle. We have this old costume so I put her in that and Thomas in Abbi's old Dalmatian costume. They looked really cute. Tonight she want to be a Princess. That's 3 different costumes. We'll see what she says when she wakes up. Because we all know how fast a 3 year old changes her mind. Happy Trick or Treating!

Halloween Party!

We had a Halloween Party my parents this weekend. It was a lot of fun. I said on the invites that everyone had to dress up, and everyone but 2 people dressed up. It was nice everyone cooperated. Some people got pretty creative with their costumes. It ended up being a pretty long night.

Thomas was so good at the party, considering that he didn't take a nap all day.

Janel did come and she was only 3 hours late. It was really nice to spend time with her.

Kristy and I have a a picture together. YEAH!!


Mindy dressed up as Sarah Palin and Darryl as Joe the Plumber it was really funny! Darryl won the best individual costume.

Cutey little Sam.


Dr. Evil and Mini Me. The winners of the group costume contest.



The Morrissey's !


Candy. Is that a cocktail? You look a little Preggo.



The Winter Family.


We all dressed up as Wizard of Oz. Papa (As the Wizard) didn't put very much effort into his costume. But oh well.



Thomas is Jenn's wig. So funny.


We tried once again, to get a picture of all the kids together it turned out O.K. Skyla (White trash daughter), Thomas (The Lion), Abbi (Dorothy), Leah (Dora), Kaden (Winnie the Pooh), Tanner (Motor Cycle Man), Trent (Fireman), John (I don't think he knew it was a costume party), Michaela (A Dragon), Sam (A Monkey), Jordyn (Cheerleader), Isabell (Minnie Mouse), Brett (Mini Me), Hudson (Squirt the Turtle-But the costume didn't last very long).


We got a pictures of all the girls. But I just noticed that Sarah Palin is missing. Melissa (Biker), Me (Tin Man), Tara (Flapper Girl), Jaime (Glenda), Natalie (Witch), Jenn (Foxey Cleopatra), Maura (Sexy Fire Girl), Rachel (Alicia), Nana (Wicked Witch of the West), Jamie (Little Boo Peep) and Heather (Candy, a knocked up White Trash girl). Heather was in character all night and she was cracking me up. Her husband (Jason) dressed up as Butch, her white trash husband and he was also in character all night.

My new backround!

I like that I changing the backround, but now my pictures are so small. Oh well. I guess?!?!?

The Pumpkin Patch

I took the kids to one of the local pumpkin patches in Reno. They had a lot of fun. It was so hot. It was the first time I took my flip flops off. (Amy, after reading your message about the Reefs I know you hear me.) So I had shoes on for the first time. They are so hot I can't deal. And I had jeans and short sleeve shirt shirt on and I was roasting. (LITERALLY). But the kids enjoyed it. Thats all that matters right?I think this is such a cute picture of Thomas.



Abbi loved to watch the animals there, but it smelled to bad for her.

Getting 2 kids to look at the camera without my Daughters fake smile has to be the hardest thing EVER!

I wish my muffin top was that cute!

Pumpkins Pumpkins and More Pumpkins

We carved Pumpkins a little early this year. They are actually already all moldy and we had to throw them away. Oh well. It was still fun while we did it. We found some really fun ideas on www.NickJr.com

Yummy

Abbi picked this one out of a book. It has a lot more teeth but we figured because Thomas still only has 2 bottom teeth, that we would do the same with the pumpkin.

Diego, Dora and Swipper.
