Growing UP...Sort Of

Karlie is growing up so fast. She has started sitting up. With and without help from the boppy.

She gets to sit in a high chair...

and a walker.

But the more grown up Karlie gets the more Riley reverts.

One thing is for sure, Riley loves his sister VERY much!

Thanks Honey

Lyn and Riley go from time to time on what they call "Big Boy Missions." This is obviously just outings so that the big boys can spend some quality time together. Today their BBM took them to the outlet mall. They rode all the rides and did some shopping. I always look forward to them coming home because I love to see Riley's face light up when he comes through the door. Well today his face was extra bright because he had bought a present for mommy.

(Disclaimer: Yes I am a fan of Twilight and I am looking forward to the movie tomorrow but I'm not mad fanatic about it, i.e. I am going to the movie at midnight but I'm not dressing up...)

My sweet boys had bought me the soundtrack to the movie, and a key chain ~ yup, Cullen Crest and everything. I probably never would have picked out such a fantastic gift as the Cullen Crest Key Chain for myself. However, since it was given to me from my boys I smiled, said thank you and happily put it on my key chain with the rest of my keys.

Thank you Lyn and Riley for thinking of me, you made my day!

Come one Come All

Where has the time gone?

Karlie Jo is 5 months old today!


In the hospital on June 5, 2008; and at home November 5, 2008.

I can't believe how quickly time is flying. She is in the 60-75th percent for head, height, and weight; She is 15 LBS. She has officially started "solids," if you can call rice cereal that, and LOVES it.

Happy 5 month birthday baby girl. We love you!

The Mermaid

My girlfriend called the other day and asked if we wanted to go see the mermaid. Who doesn't want to see a mermaid; so we headed over to Bass Pro shop, a win-win for the entire family because it's fun for adults AND kids. Here's what we saw...

We love friends. Ethan, Kate and Riley next to the enormous fish tank.

Kate and Riley watching the show.

Even Karlie enjoyed herself.

Happy Halloween

Here are the most recent photos of the family; Too bad we aren't all in the same one. They are from our wards trunk or treat. Riley is Spiderman and Karlie is a ladybug.

Karlie with mommy and daddy. I just wore a witches hat and Lyn went as "Edward."

It looks like "Spiderman" caught a ladybug in his web.

Karlie manning the trunk. She gave away all our candy...

Ok. Tagged by Kim a while ago, love you girl, thanks for thinking for me. Sadly, I don't really get what I'm supposed to do. That being said, Kim posted the 4th picture in her 4th folder so I'm going to do that then tag someone. Sound good? Great. Here goes.



Wait for it......

Good old Riley! Maybe it's not the best photo, certainly on searching for my 4th picture in my 4th folder I had hoped that it would be earth shattering. Shoot, after finally seeing what the actual photo is I'd be happy if the pajamas (yes he's outside in his PJs ~ don't judge me) he'd slept in the night before matched.



My turn to tag... I challenge, LOL, as though my photography skill could be touched, my photography inclined girls, THE BRIT's, and my sister Kaley. Hit it ladies.
