Ethan has been so excited for his birthday. So, he wrote out the number 5, cut it out and then taped it to a birthday candle. He also did one for Grant, when he turns 4. I asked him if he wanted to do one for Sasha, and so he did. I thought this was pretty sweet.

Ethan's writing

I thought this was great and wanted to share with you. Ethan wrote this on his own. This is what he told me it said. "This is for Ethan, but this is Ethan's. Soon I will be five, this means 5." Of course, I added the punctuation and correct spelling. The big 5 at the top is the 5 at the very end because he ran out of room. He said he wrote the 5 at the end, so that Grant could understand that five means 5. I thought it was pretty fun.

It's offical!

Sasha is now a crawler. It's official. She seems to enjoy this new found mobility. It's pretty fun!

Here is Sasha just after she was born. After about 10 hours of labor with no drugs (pretty crazy, I know), she finally came. They finally broke my water and she came 12 minutes later.

Now here's what you do:
Go into your pictures and open the 4th folder
Post the 4th picture in your folder

I would like to see into the picture world of Alicia, Julie, Melissa, Brenda and anyone else who is curious what picture you will find. You are officially tagged.

An Angel, Christmas gifts and who is that guy????

Here is our little angel. Sasha had some angel pajamas, that actually had the wings. I thought she looked pretty. Although, it did take some work trying to keep that "halo" on.



Here is Grant, attempting a scary face. I love his mad/scary face. It makes me smile!


Here is Ethan with his very scary face. Are you scared????


This was taken when we were all out trick or treating. I'm not in the picture because I didn't dress up. Fun, fun, fun!!!

Sugar Cookies!!!!!

We decided to make sugar cookies in Halloween shapes. The boys helped a lot and loved it! They also did most of the cutting with the cookie cutters. They did a great job!


Next comes the frosting. Grant loved to frost them and then eat them. Ethan was more into getting them ALL frosted ASAP. We had a lot of fun.


Sasha sampled the finished product. Of course we all did, but I actually got a picture of her trying them out.

Playing in the leaves

The boys are having fun playing in the leaves with Sasha. What you don't know, is that she is a little sad about it.


Do you see that HUGE pile of leaves? You don't? Yeah, Brian had to use the rake at work, so I had to make due with a broom. Just so you know, that doesn't really work. We played out in the leaves for maybe 10 minutes, it wasn't actually that fun because there wasn't a very big pile. Also, it was close to time for Sasha's nap and so she was crying towards the end.


Kisses??? Anyone?
