It's Beginning to Look a lot like Christmas...

Lindsey had her Christmas play on Sunday, she was chosen to be Mary and did a great job! She also had a little solo that hopefully will show up at the end of this post.

Brady and Zach are becoming great buddies, I hope it stays that way.

We had our first snow and the kids had a great time sledding and playing in it with Daddy. "Frosty" (Brady calls every snowman Frosty") turned out great!

Lindsey also was in the Christmas parade. She got to ride in a horse drawn covered wagon through the parade...she was in heaven!!

And we all enjoyed watching it...

even Zach watched for a few minutes before taking a little snooze. We were glad to have our friend Mallory with us.

And I guess this is the last picture we'll have of Pop-Pop's work truck since the accident so I thought I would post it with Brady. Glad you're OK Pop-Pop, we're praying for you and love you.

And, here's Lindsey's solo. It's a little blurry at times, but at least you can see her.

Happy Thanksgiving

"Yum, Yum!" Brady has a new love for lollipops...can you guess what color this one was?

And the perfect start to Brady's day includes drinking juice in my bed with his friends and watching Elmo. If Momma would only allow lollipops the day would be perfect.

Zach has graduated to the exersaucer...he tolerates it for a little while. At his 4 month check-up he was 100% in height (25 inches) and 75% weight (17 pounds). While his bigger brother is 25% in both height and weight, it won't be long before Zachary catches him. (Too many lollipops, not enough veggies!) :)

Have you ever seen a cuter Indian? Complete with drill and pink kitty slippers!

Happy Thanksgiving from my little Indians to you!

Happy Birthday Brady!

Today is Brady's big day, but he had a wonderful time celebrating on Saturday. The kids had a great time decorating some gourds, having a hay ride, then playing around here. Lindsey had some friends over too and officially celebrated her birthday.



Yea! Tools!

Brady knows who to go to for help with his new tools...Pop-Pop!
Brady loved his new pedal tractor, he immediately started working on it with his tools...such a boy!
Lindsey getting a scooter.
Brady loved his cake from "Nan-naw"! There were trucks and dirt all over it, he had a blast driving the trucks all around and scooping up the "dirt". Grandma tried her best to get him to taste it, but chocolate graham crackers look too much like the real thing...blah!

Lindsey requested cheesecake as her birthday cake...nice choice!


(Sorry I can't get the pictures in order...something's wrong with the blogspot when I upload. But, at least you can see a little of their party.)

Happy 2nd Birthday little boy! We love you!

Happy Birthday Lindsey!

Has it really been 6 years since this little 6 lb baby came into our lives? Where does the time go? Wow! For her special day we started with chocolate chip pancakes and ended at Outback this evening. Back at home she opened presents and adopted her new puppy "Cupcake" where he has already found a place of honor by her bed snuggled in for the night. Happy Birthday Lindsey...We love you!

Happy Halloween!

My little goblins had a great Halloween. We started with the Fall Festival at the church last night. There was a cake walk, a bounce house, a hayride and lots of games. And then, tonight, what better way to trick-or-treat than riding in a wagon. We visited our old neighborhood and the kids had a blast. I'm not sure what was more fun getting pulled by the lawn mower or getting candy. Brady loved being in the stroller. He kept saying "Wheeeeeee" every time he rode in it. And Zachary was a skeleton, a chubby skeleton. (Happy 4 months baby boy!) Now, my soccer player, Cinderella, my little chicken and the skeleton are fast asleep! Ahhh! Happy Halloween everyone!

Loving Fall...

Fall is my favorite time of year, and the kids love all the fun things that come with this season. They especially enjoy the Halloween packages from Grandma Marsha. Thanks for the waxed lips we all enjoyed them!

And Brady likes to get his own snacks now...not the most healthy thing, Doritos, but could be commercial material with the hat and Lindsey's shoes.

Bruce and I tried a trip to Gatlinburg, not a good choice with it being peak leaf season. Everyone in the country was there. However, we did get a great picture of the mountains. This being on our way home...why did we drive from the mountains to the mountains????

And Zach, cute and can be!

For some reason my computer isn't letting me put these pictures in order, so you get to see the finished product last. Lindsey carved Brady's pumpkin all by herself.

They all enjoyed watching Daddy carve pumpkins...

but, scooping out the seeds was only done by Lindsey and Bruce. Rachel the princess, did get one handful, but decided a spoon would be better while trying to hold her hair back with the other.

Decorating pumpkin face cookies...Yum!!

And the finished product. They did a great job!

And finally, this is what Brady thinks of scooping out pumpkins...

Too Long

I'm sorry it's been way too long since I've last posted anything, where does the time go? So here are some pictures from our last few weeks. One of those weeks was spent in PA having lots of fun with Grandma Marsha and the gang. We took the kids to Pittsburgh...

and they loved riding the incline.

We also were able to visit with Great Grandma Anna McNulty. It was so nice to see her and Aunt Mary.

Back home things are as usual, here's our little builder working on the porch...

and the girls with Brady's hats.

He loves hats!!

And here's Lindsey with her new bike. An early birthday present to enjoy before the weather gets too cold, although most of the time they don't leave the garage. They all love riding in our new garage...thanks Pop-Pop!
