WE have LIFT OFF...B is walking OH NO!!!




SO I am terrified and very excited to even write this post...it started last week with 8-9 steps (until this point we had only really gone about 2-3) then it progressed to 12-13 and NOW he can walk all over the place and I am just awaiting the next few days when he learns to RUN!!!! I wanted him to walk so people would quit asking me "why can't that 2 year old walk?" "Well lady hes not 2 and he is just lazy so there...(ok maybe not the best comeback but I am still new to this whole parenting my kid is better than your kid thing!) So I had to make this little video and share, yes its sideways no I don't know how to turn it even though I am sure it can be done, but no time to fool with it I have a WALKER oh and a door opener! YAY

Spooky, Scary, Spider...not even close


Spooky scary Halloween with friends and sweet baby Claire! Although it was a little cold outside we got the babies out for their very first real "trick or treat" night! All the neighborhood kids were out and Barrett was way more interested in looking at the other little monsters than getting candy...well at least until he figured out what was under that shinny wrapper...CANDY! I made the mistake of giving him a little taste while walking home and he went nuts he had a death grip on his Reese's candy and devoured the whole thing in a few quick bites...YUM! After the candy was gone he went straight for the cauldron of candy and became very angry when not able to open the wrappers. B's night ended abruptly when we had the last few kids at the door looking for treats while I was handing them out (while holding Barrett) he became an attack spider and lurched for the candy...IT WAS HIS CANDY...sooooo after one more bite of candy he was sent to bed to have chocolate dreams.

As you can see from the pictures we had our friends Christine, Judd, and baby Claire over to celebrate with us...As I have always known girls outfits are soooo much better Claire was dressed in a pumpkin outfit complete with a tutu and hat, B likes her so much and cannot wait for her to get just a little bigger so he can actually play with her! Although Claire may always have the better duds Christine pointed out that from the moment I found out I was having a boy I instantly save $1,000's of $$$$$...so that's a great thing for Zach, he likes to hold on to his funds a little more than I do...
