Halloween!!

So, we had a fun Halloween. I wasn't sure if Luke would get into his costume. He was not really excited about it and when I tryed to get him to try it on he didn't want anything to do with it. But in the end, when he saw all his cousins dressed up, he decided to get in his too! We took the kids to the trunk or treat at the church. Luke was LOVING the fact that people were giving him candy. He thought it was very cool. Then we went to a party at Aunt Brenda's and had some more fun. There were some pretty hardcore costumes. Chads family really know how to do Halloween!! Chads aunts convinced him to dress up as a girl, it was pretty halarious. I think that in every picture Luke is picking his nose. He is in the nose picking stage and driving me crazy!! i don't know if I should just ignore it or get after him every time he does it!?!? Anyway, it was a fun night!! I'm just excited for Christmas now!!

I am a Handi!!

So, I kind of fell of the blogging band wagon and then tried to jump back on. To my suprise I totally forgot my password. I tried to "recover" it , but its not that easy to do. Anyway, I'm back and ready to keep up with the rest of the blogging world. Chad is gone working up north for the week, so this is my time to do as much stuff as I can while he's gone. Sewing, making bows, bracelets, and of course, keeping the house clean. I am making a halloween costume for Lilly. Cute witch kind of thing. I am making a tootoo but not quite sure what to do. Luckily she's not totally counting on me. She'll have no choice but to wear it!!

Rolie Polie....Lilly

We love our Rolie Polie little girl. She is so adorably cute. She is the most content baby in the world. She sleeps through the night and I usually have to wake her up in the morning around 9 or 10. She is sooo happy, loves to smile really big and loves it when you talk to her. Chad can get her to talk really good. Its so fun watching our kids grow and learn new things. Although it goes by way to quick. Lilly has about 4 rolls on each arm and her legs are just about the same. She has rolls on her little tiny fingers and toes. Oh, and we can't forget her neck rolls, the ones that are so deep its hard to find the bottom!!! I just LOVE her to pieces. Every last roll!!! Notice, in the swing picture she even has a roll just above her ankle!

Brownies, Anyone??

So lately we have had to make brownies a few times for different things. And as you can see Luke is quite a fan of the Brownie making. He loves helping me dump ingredients in the bosh and like's to turn it on when I have my back turned!! He thinks its quite halarious. Of course his favorite part is the end when he gets to lick the beaters, and he does'nt hold anything back. He is such a boy, he doesnt even notice that he is covered in batter, literally from head to toe!!

Lilly's Blessing

So we finally found a weekend that both our families could be together and we were able to bless Lilly. We did it at home, and it was very special. We are very grateful for the support of our families and it was nice to all be together. Thanks for the contributions to supper, and sorry for the kinda firm potatoes!! At least they were edible!! Grossmuetti made the gorgeous dress. I am so lucky to have such an amazing heirloom. And thanks to Grandma Hancock for making the slip!! We just love Lilly to bits. She is such a good little girl, and we can't imagine our life without her!!!

Luke + Glasses

Yes, I have a 2 yr old with glasses!! And let me tell you, we LOVE them. First of all, Luke loves them......He can see! His eyes are very bad, we are talking a +8. I don't know how he functioned without them. He was missing out on alot of things. I think back to things I would say, "Look out the car window and see the horses!!" "See the little motorbikes on your Pjamas?" "Look at the hoes and loaders on your sheets." Um, ya, he could not see any of them. Poor kid. When he got his glasses he was in awe!! He could see Sponge Bob on his toothpaste and said, "Wow....cool!!" And all of a sudden his books were a little more exciting. So as you can see, we are very grateful for those cute little glasses upon Lukes nose. He has started talking better and I think that things are making more sense for him. Those of you with glasses know exactly what I'm talking about. So when I think of things that I am so thanful for, Lukes glasses are on the top of my list. As you can see, he even likes to wear Mr. Potato Head glasses too!!

P.S. He has had them for just under 2 months, and we are already on our second pair of frames!!!! You can't expect too much from a 2 yr old! especially when he falls off a trailer, face first into the concrete. Chad has had to take the pliers to them more than once.

Am I crazy?

So.... here goes blogging for me. I figured I may as well join the world of blogging mommies. It seems like the "thing to do!!" This is my effort to start journaling and letting my family and friends know of my wild and crazy life. Hopefully I don't regret this, although Chad might when I don't get the laundry done, don't clean the house, don't cook supper, and forget about the kids!! Just kidding, I don't think I'll get that obsessed, although there are some of you out there!! So we will see how long this lasts. Wish me luck in my blogging adventure!!!
