Thanksgiving weekend

This is our little sweet babies--Sophia and Corbin. They are the sweetest cousins that are 2 weeks apart. They had lots of fun crawling around together and Corbin loved Sophia's hair. Corbin smiled all the time and Sophia just looked around with her big eyes and checked everyone out especially Grandpa.
We spent Thanksgiving Day outside shooting clay pigeons and pumpkins. Grant is getting a lesson on the different bullets from his Dad.

Claire just wondered around eating her cauliflower. Lovin every minute of being at Grandma's and Grandpa's house.

Halloween parties

The Fire Station joined our party due to way to much smoke from the fog machine. It set off the fire alarm and we had go outside a little early this year.
This is "Little Red Riding hood", she was the hit of the party this year. Her cute little face and red hair fit the costume.

Grace's friend Brook, Grace as a U.S. Diva Girl, Hailey is Elizabeth from Pirates, Grant was the famous Darth Vador and Claire was Little Red Ridinghood.


Jack Sparrow brought his new little girl Sophia, the pirate baby. Isn't she a doll?
We did our trick or treating together with some friends and spent over 2 hours getting candy. Claire walked to whole time and didn't want to put down her pumpkin basket. The weather was great, loved every minute of it.






Harvest and Halloween Fun

We didn't go pick pumpkins until the last Monday before Halloween. Needless to say, all the pumpkins where gone, we only found little baby ones. The kids still enjoyed picking them and we headed over to Walmart to buy some nice big ones for carving. This year we took the kids to the Maze, which they really enjoyed, they even thought they were ready for the Night Fright at the Maze. I told them maybe next year :)

My little babies...





These beautiful pictures where taken by my friend Letia. She did such a great job and the girls had so much fun. I am so excited that I could get these moments captured, times goes by so quickly. Sophia is 7 months and Claire is 2 1/2 years. They sure love each other.


Claire's Photo's

"You are never going to believe - I finally let my Mom take some pictures".


"Oh no, I won't hold still..."
"This is my pretty shot"

"This is my, I'm up to something shot."
"I love the little Sister sitting right behind me."

-Thanks Letia, for these fun memories-


Sophia's Photo's





My Friend Letia took these adorable photo's of Sophia. She was crawling all over the place but was sure a lot of fun to take some pictures of. She is 7 months old.

Red Fish Layout

This is some fun pictures from Red Fish. We went over Labor Day weekend and had a great time. What a beautiful place! This layout was fun and I learned some great tricks to do with Photoshop. Can't wait to see what I can produce on my own without Jessica Sprague talking in my ear telling me what to do. :)

Week 2 layout

This was super fun to do of Claire, I learned some fun techniques. It was fun to think of things that she does and loves at age 2.

Photoshop is up and running!

So, Jared got his laptop cleared off and loaded Photshop for me so that it would actually work at a high speed. I signed up for a class and will be posting my work when I'm done. I actually knew a lot more than I thought but learned so much. What do you think?

Sweet Sophia--six months

My little Sophia turned six months on Sunday. She is so fun to have around and is growing so fast. The kids act just like they did when Claire was this age. All of them fighting to go get her when she wakes up and wanting to hold her all at the same time. Even Claire can make her laugh and has begun to make her a bottle every time she starts to get fussy.
Her hair has not fallin out--just getting longer and is in her eyes unless I pull it back.
She is sitting up on her own and has a cute little worm crawl.
Some of my favorite things Claire does with her:
1. When Sophia wakes up, Claire will say "Hello Sosia, Hello!"
2. or "Mom, Sosia's awake--Mom!"
3. She will lay down on the floor with her and hold Sophia's hand while sucking her thumb.

And then there's Grant---Yesterday I caught him packing her up the stairs, he takes her out of the bouncer and begins to lay down with her (he's on his back and she is on her back on top of his belly) She doesn't like this very much and takes the abuse for a while and then ask's for help.

Please don't be worried about her, I am always near these little peeps :) She gets lots of love and attention and we never have a dull moment around the house.
