Thanksgiving brings Minnesota visitors!!

What an amazing and whirlwind Thanksgiving we had. Mom and Dad and Grandma Mary came out to visit. I don't think we stopped moving for over an hour the whole time they were there. It was wonderful!! It had been so long since we had seen some MN family. Thank you so much for coming out. My computer does not let me see the pics to write underneath them so I will just give an overview.
Wesley just loves his Grandpa Bob. They are buddies for sure. He gives Grandma Sue a bit of a hard time but her and Katherine are usually hiding somewhere playing for hours anyway so it all works out. He also had lots of fun playing with Grandma Mary. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner with Joel and Susie and Cody. Mom and Dad brought me this wonderful wedding dress. As everyone who knows me knows...I was supposed to be a real life princess wearing the big dresses so now I can release my inner princess whenever time calls for it. I am trying to figure out a way to wear it to school. But I did do some cooking in it right when Matt got home from work. He didn't get as excited about it as I did. Thanks Mom and Dad! LOVE IT!!
It was so amazing to have family over the holidays. As much as we love Idaho, I really miss having family and friends close. Hope you all had an amazing Thanksgiving.

Happy Halloween

We had a great Halloween adventure this year!! Dorothy, a chicken, baby doll and Grandpa Bob-Harley Dealer headed out with jellyfish, raggady andy, and the wild animal for a fun night of trick or treating.
We started out the day painting and coloring pumpkins since all of the ones at BTC were frozen and had to be thrown away. SO we painted and decorated instead. Then Cody and Susie came over and we made some sugar cookies which turned into a frosting party. Katherine got makeup for her Halloween treat and as you can see she got pretty creative with her designs. The kids got glow sticks from one of Matt's co-workers and had a blast with them all the way home in the dark car. I truly believe that it was the highlight of Wesley's night. Katherine and Cody had so much fun marching up to the houses and tick or treating. Overall it was a great day!!

The party and the Birthday Boy

Wesley loves to watch out the window. Here he was yelling at the kids outside. He loves trucks, cars, blocks, and balls. He is not walking yet. But starting to get more excited about doing it will help. For so long he just preferred to crawl. He likes to go fast. He is 25 lbs now and very solid!! He has figured out the he can take a stand to his sister which is getting alittle interesting. Unfortunatly he has also figured out hitting and biting. He likes to attack Katherine. So far it has been minor. And she has handled it pretty well. It could get interesting though! The picture of the girls are Katherine's buddies. We thought it looked like a mini charlies angel picture. Princess power....Ani, Jade, and Katherine. They are getting so big. Katherine had about four cupcakes for the party. SUGAR!!!! We have cut her off of sweets due to her big dentist appointment. So she kinds went crazy at the party.
We are so blessed with amazing children and an amazing family. It truly is complete. Never a dull moment at our house!!!

My first Cake!

Wesley was hestitant at first but eventually demolished his cake. When we first set it in front of him he made his car noise like he was driving it. Too cute!! There are some cute tub pictures but I am not going to put those online. Overall he loved the whole experience. And was so proud that it was his birthday. He wore his hat the whole time. It was so cute.

Happy 1st Birthday Wesley!!

It is so hard to believe that I am actually writing this....Wesley is 1! The year has truly went so fast. I can't believe that it has been a year since this little man joined our family to make it so complete.
