Happy Birthday BJ!!!

There are many reasons why we love BJ!!!

1. He tries things even if he doesn't think he will like it or can do it. (This is him trying not to get his clothes wet by taking a ride in the canoe which he didn't even get a few feet into the water before rolling over)

2. He works hard at school ( He loves the phrase a C will get me a degree). He is working on his masters and I am proud of him.3. He works his bum off so that I can be lazy and stay at home. ( He is working 10 hour days almost every day and those that he doesn't he works over 15 hours. Drivers ED)
4. He is always in a good mood and ready for a good laugh. (He loves to creap where I am and scare me! By the way I hate this!) 5. Who can forget how much he loves sports especially football ( We were able to see Barry Bonds hit his big home run which was a dream for BJ)!

6. He is a really good dad and his girls run to him when he gets home every day.

I could go on and on but you get the picture Happy Birthday BJ! I LOVE YOU and the girls LOVE YOU too!

In the land of 3 yr old pretend... This outfit is hot!

McKell loves to dress up. I cleaned out my girls closets on Tuesday and that night McKell comes downstairs in this get up. She has 24 mos. tights on, 3-6 month swimsuit and cover up, and shoes that are 2 sizes too small. If you look at the picture you can see that the crotch of the tights are almost at her knees. Oh and I can't forget she had her princess crown on. I love to see her play pretend.

I have been teaching McKell the rhyme "I'm a mean old witch with a hat". She has so much fun with all of the actions, that I thought it would be fun for her if she got to dress up as a witch too. She thought it was fun for all of 5 seconds. Long enough for her to finish the song and then she informed me that she is still going to be Tinkerbell. Her cousin Morgan passed on her old Halloween costume that McKell is really excited about wearing. The funny thing is when ever I have told this story to someone McKell pipes in "Mom I am not a witch, I want to be Tinkerbell". I thought my girls would be cute as Witches but oh well maybe next year.

Fall is here!

Here are some things we have been doing this fall. I mentioned that Kennidee loves to ride on the bike with McKell. She actually rides on the back of her bike and they go for rides in our neighborhood. It is really funny to watch because she sits between McKell's seat and the handle.
We also put out our halloween decorations. McKell loved putting them on the front windows. McKell has wanted to help me cook alot lately. I let her help make macaroni and cheese. The funny thing is the 2nd picture where you can se McKell hiding behind her arm because she told me the water was hot. She also wanted to use her cookie cutters so we made halloween sugar cookies.
I absolutely love fall and am so excited for the season. The holidays are fast approaching and that means time with family, lots of cooking and baking. I love the smell of my house in the fall because it's the time for baking bread and goodies.

Kennidee's Birthday Party

Ok so I am a little overdue on Kennidee's Bday. On her actual Bday I bought her a donut that we put a candle in. I had put her to bed and BJ went and got her up since he felt bad he hadn't seen her all day. We sang her Happy Birthday and she devoured her donut. We had her Bday party on Sunday and we had lots of family and friends attend. I made her a duck cake. She loved it. She put her whole face into it several times. It was so cute. McKell had a hard time letting Kenni open her presents she thought she should be able to open them. Kennidee got what she needed which was clothes for winter. That is what we get for having babies born in two different seasons. McKell's clothes have worked for a long time but not any more.
