Thanksgiving Day

It was fun to host our first Thanksgiving! Maybe sometime we will host and cook the food! Thanks Mom, Dad, Natalie and Brook for making such great food!
Mom and Jenna making rolls...Jenna is such a good helper! She even rolled her dough, placed it on a cookie sheet to "bake", got the dough off the sheet with a spatula and served it to Mom, Dad and Ryan. This kept her busy for almost an hour.Dad and Ryan keeping the kids out of the kitchen by watching a little "Dinosaur Train."Ryan did a wonderful job on the table! The food must have been ok because this is what we found afterwards...Ryan, Baby Carson, Tate, Brook and Jason resting their tummys before dessert.

Even Carson thought the dessert was fabulous!Playing Games:

We loved being with Family on Thanksgiving...Thanks for making it a great day!

One of Logan's firsts

It's always fun when our kids does the first of something (as long as it isn't a naughty first). This is the first time Logan fell asleep in his high chair while Ryan and I were busy getting ready for our company to come for Thanksgiving!

Adam's Thanksgiving Program

Adam had a Thanksgiving Program last Monday at school. They sang 3 really fun songs and wore these great Pilgram hats made by their teacher. After the songs, we all had a Thanksgiving Feast with lots of good foods. It was a fun time! :)

Random Happenings of Logan

Logan has been a little behind on putting things in his mouth and eating them, but over night (literally) he has caught up and doesn't stop putting all kinds of things in his mouth! I was feeling a little grateful that he wasn't to this stage yet, even though the doc told me that he should be doing this by his 9th month...but as all of us mom's know, its not a favorite stage to have your baby eat all kinds of stuff off of the floor.
So, this is Logan eating a roll and loving it! Then there's the climbing in and out of the chairs, getting stuck several times a day, but still continues to explore.

And why is it that dad's love to see if their child can balance on their hand?

We set up our old computer in Jenna's room and when Adam and Jenna weren't around, Logan was all over the computer and loving every second he got the computer to himself. It didn't last long.

Friday Night Fun

Instead of unpacking all of the misc. boxes, hanging pictures on the walls, cleaning house, and all other things we should get done Friday night, we jumped off of the stairs onto a pile of pillows and blankets. It was more fun that way anyway! :)

Looking cute!

Happy Halloween!

We had another successful Halloween! The kids got a lot of candy, but because we are now in a subdivision, I didn't hardly buy enough candy to hand out, so I was a bad mom and gave out my kids candy that I knew they wouldn't eat. You know what I'm talking about, anything that's not chocolate or suckers!!! :)

Adam had a Costume parade at school, which he very much enjoyed.

Here are the kids at the Trunk-or-Treat. Jenna was really loving that she could go to people, look cute and they would give her candy. She soon found that if she would stand there long enough, they would give her even more candy.

Logan's Favorite Place

Logan has a favorite place in the whole house...THE STAIRS!! If all of us are upstairs, even for a minute, he's at the stairs climbing up. He certainly does not want to be left out! Yesterday he was able to conquer all of the stairs-for the first time! He was very proud of himself, and even though I too was proud of his accomplishment, I knew it meant we are in for a few long months of teaching him how to go down the stairs, safely!
