No more trainers!

For the past couple of weeks Paige has cried everytime we have tried to talk her about losing the training wheels! Well today, I asked her if she was scared, and she of course said "Yes." So I promised her I would not let go, and after about three attempts- this is what we got!

Now instead of her being scared, she is a wild woman, and she is scaring me. A helmet is going to be needed ASAP. Thanks also to Morgan, for learning how to get her started, so I won't have to do it everytime!

Mr. Independent!!

So, here is my little boy at work! Yesterday Carson was watching TV, and I decided to go downstairs and look at some stuff on the computer. After a couple of minutes, I started hearing noises coming from the kitchen. I knew I would regret it, but I was just too tired to run up and stop him! I heard a chair being moved, dishes clanging , the sounds of a little boy making a mess.When I did finally make it upstairs, I was in for a little surprise.

Here is the chair that I heard scooting across my tile floor!!!

Here is the milk, he tried to put away, but just could not reach!

Here is what the dude wanted!!!!

Here is the little boy, after getting everything he needed all by himself, enjoying a little cereal!

He seemed to be quite proud of himself. And believe it or not, he actually didn't make a mess! He didn't even spill the milk!!

This little boy is getting independent!

Sorry- We have been sick!!!!

Well- I have not written much because we have been a sick crew. Carson and Paige have been quite sick-hopefully we are on the end of it!!! Sorry to Jessica, for sharing it with her kids. Here is a picture to show that we are kinda coming out of it!!!Well add a Christmas Tree decorating post soon!

Happy Halloween!!!

Here's some late Halloween photo's! We were happy we were all able to go, because Miss Paige was sick and had to stay home from school. She looked like she felt terrible. We put her down for a nap, and 3 hours later (Plus a little Motrin!) and she was feeling so much better. She was excited to be Bell, I think her favorite part was the make-up! She tries to put in on everyday for school! It's great, because Carson tries to follow everything she does- so he often has to put on powder and a little blush as well!!!!Sorry, Daddy and Grandpa!!!Carson was not happy at all about his costume. I pput it on him once, and he just ripped it off. We finally got it on when Daddy came home and went inthe bedroom- we told Carson to put on his costume and scare daddy when he came out. We got it on and then took him right outside to go trick-or-treat at the neighbors!! He was so sold! He just wanted to go to more and more houses. We could barely get him in the car to go visit the Grandma's and Grandpa's!!! It was so much fun watching him waddle up to people's houses. I wish I would have taped it!!! Morgan was a Nice Witch!! She loved getting colored hairspray on her wild hair!! It was great weather, its not too often you can actually see kids costumes under all the winter clothes, but we had a beautiful day this year!!! I know it is not good, but I can't say I mind Global Warming some times!!!

Report card- shmortcard!!!

To the moostache grandpa- I'm quite happy with average!! It's just like in high school, not like your going to be impressed with anything but perfect, so I'll take what I can get- No more taco soup for you!!!!

Happy Birthday Shelly!!!!

Happy Birthday from a few Monkeys!!!!(So sorry about the sideways picture again!! I know I need software!!!) We just wanted to wish you a very Happy Birthday!! Hope you do something fun and get some good presents!!! We Love You!!!!

Snow! Snow! Snow!

We woke up to a rude little surprise this morning! Last night it just rained and rained, but I guess it got colder. I cannot believe how pretty it would have been if it were Christmas morning. Big, huge, puffy flakes just floating down, on my bright green grass. No wind, No blizzard, just pretty snow. Unwelcome snow. We did decide to make the best of it though!!! Morgan started making a ball, and it got HUGE! We decided to make that our snowman base, until the next one she made was even bigger. Daddy could not lift it, so I came out and we rolled it up a piece of plywood to get it to the top. It was really really wet snow!!! The kids had a great time, and it snowed solid until about 2:00! I really hope it melts soon! I guess it's always good to get water here!! I would still really prefer rain so it still felt like fall, not winter.
