Merry Christmas to All!

What a whirlwind Christmas was this year! Spencer was definitely into presents this year and waiting for Santa. I have no idea what we will use as a threat for good behavior now. But of course the most important part of Christmas is family, and here is all of us (on my dad's side) on Christmas Eve at my Grandparent's house.

Our cute boys and girls...

Christmas morning was a hit. Spencer has been asking for this "Doc McStuffin's thing" for MONTHS and was so happy Santa delivered.

Happy girl on her first Christmas!

School Picture Day

Wow, no posts in over a month. And I don't really have any photos to show for that month either. Bad, mommy! Our preschool/daycare had its annual picture day at the beginning of November. Such cute lil monkeys!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

What a great Halloween we had this year. Batman and Poodle Woodle got a ridiculous amount of candy that mommy has been eating non-stop and now Christmas is just two months away!

Happy Birthday, Rocco!

It's hard to believe that my nephew is already four years old! I love having boys so close together, as these cousins have become the best of friends and it makes my heart so happy. We hit Big Al's for bowling on the big day and as usual, these two goofballs had a great time.

Scarecrow Stroll at the Idaho Botanical Garden

Spencer's first ever field trip was to the Botanical Garden's for the Scarecrow stroll, and we have enjoyed going each year since then! Each trip ends with a trip into the pumpkin patch to find the perfect pumpkin!

Spirit of Boise

Labor Day weekend brings the Spirit of Boise balloon classic to town and it is always a great time to see old friends. It also marked Emily's first balloon rally! Exciting stuff in this family. Here she is taking a lay of the land with Grampa.

Forget that Grampa flies Mickey Mouse...this kid's favorite is the ROCKET SHIP! He was SO EXCITED to see it. Not excited enough to climb in the basket (it's too loud...hence the ear defenders) but definitely needed a photo.

Six months old

My name is Emily and I am six months old. I love my solid foods, am teething (but have no teeth), refuse to sit on my own because I want to stand up and mom is making me wait six hours before I can eat at night.
