A Mere Six Months Ago...


Jared and I were just looking through old photos on my computer, and came across this gem. Had to share it again...don't know whether to laugh or cry...

Lil' Goofball


Levi is so silly. He loves getting a reaction out of us, and will copy or repeat anything that makes us laugh. He went through about a week-long phase where he made this silly straining sound/face...it cracked us up, but we were also afraid that he might explode.

Thanksgiving Baking

Levi got to lick the spoon when I made pumpkin bread for Thanksgiving :)

Thanksgiving 2011

I hope everyone had a very Happy Thanksgiving! We spent the last few days down in San Diego, enjoying time with family and a big, bustling meal at Dee and Niki's house on Thanksgiving Day. The kids came home exhausted today, and both took long naps to recover from so much activity. We've had leftovers twice already, and have enough dessert in the fridge to last another week :) Thank you to Dee and Niki for all of their efforts and hard work, and for hosting such a lovely party in their home for all of us.


Dee modeling my first sewing project


Levi experiencing his first turkey coma--he literally fell asleep in his high chair at dinner! Too funny. He kept falling asleep in the strangest of places the whole time--maybe all of the new people and places tired him out?



Parker and Mimi



Alex treated us all to a musical performance


Parker was so busy running around with the other kids all afternoon that I was barely able to snap any photos of him. Here is one of the few. For some reason, he kept giving me this look whenever I saw him. Oh, how I wish I knew what really goes through that head of his.


Levi really bonded with his straw cup 


Dessert time--Jared and I compared notes, and apparently this was Round One for dessert for Parker--neither of us are sure how he snuck a Round Two in. I tried my best to micromanage his dessert intake, but I guess he slipped some by me...on a side note, Rainbow Fish accompanied him throughout the day. Maybe dessert Round Two was Rainbow's idea...


Levi peeking in on the guys watching the football game in the "Men's Room"



Grayson was really into this Pokemon book...he kept showing me different pages and having me take pictures of them...

My First Apron



Made the apron, bought the boots :)
