Sleigh Ride

Alright so this is a sled but it's the closest that they are going to get with a sleigh ride. The kids took a ride with dad up and down the street. Bryson had tons of fun doing it, but Baylee was pretty terrified of how loud the snowmobile was and wanted off. I still can't believe how much snow we have. It is just crazy.

Charlie's First Birthday!

Charlie turned 1 on November 24th which is also my brother David's birthday too. He is just below 50% on his height and just above 50% on his weight but is in the 70s on his head. He obviously loved his cake and he just took his first step yesterday on 12/1. His older brother and sister have all walked before they turned 1. Charlie definitely does things in his own time. Like he just started to give kisses but they are only given on his terms, he doesn't just give them to anyone anytime. He waves on occasion but that is the same as kisses only when he wants to. He loves to make tons of messes. He always gets my Tupperware out and throw them all everywhere. He gets into both bookshelves and throws the books out and just in general this kid likes to make messes. He loves the dish washer and when ever I am taking dishes out or putting them in he is in the middle of it all. We are very blessed to have our little guy in our life and can't wait to see how much he will grow.

Thanksgiving

I had preschool the week before thanksgiving. The last day of preschool we had a Thanksgiving party. We put a turkey puzzle together and made a turkey with feathers that each said what we are thankful for and made these awesome hats for the kids. They had a lot of fun.

MMMMMM

My kids tend to think that it's OK to put what they are done eating with on the ground, so Charlie can have it, kinda like a dog. This is what happens when it is ice cream cake.

Daddy daughter time.

Darin took Baylee with him to hunt last night and came back with a buck. He was really excited because with all the bad luck of not seeing much this hunting season it didn't take much time to get this buck. Baylee as you can see was really proud of her dad and really excited to be with him. What a night.

Baylee's on her own.

Well not totally on her own. She learned how to ride her bike on her own. I haven't posted much lately and decided to do a whole bunch at once. Baylee started riding her bike at the beginning of August. She was outside playing with the neighbor kids and they were all riding their own bikes and I had taken the training wheels off of her and put them on Bryson's bike so she decided that she wanted to ride her bike like everyone else. So we got her bike out and started going. She started out first riding only about five or ten yards and then Dad decided to come out and help out with her bike riding. She was riding it in no time. She loves to ride her bike now and feels like she is a real big kid now.

Pumpkin Carving

Dad helping Bryson out. Darin first took a knife to try to cut the stem down and ended up taking the whole thing off. It was really funny because he was trying to show the kids a really cool trick and it ended up not working the way he thought it would.Bryson squirming over the guts.

Baylee showing the guts.

Baylee trying to cut her own.

The end results. Bryson's in on the left and his had two buck teeth and Baylee's is on the right with vampire teeth and cross eyed.

We did buy some big pumpkins and the kids loved carving them. Darin helped Bryson out on his and I helped Baylee with hers. She wanted to cut it on her own really bad. Charlie had fallen asleep so he missed out. The kids loved taking the guts out. It was a great night.
