Happy Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving was quite a big one around here. My two brothers and their families came into town, my little nephew Mason had his blessing, trying to pack up my mom's house for moving and enjoying Thanksgiving. It was so great to have my brothers families here. Talmadge could not get enough of his cousins. It was like having a built in babysitter with 11 other kids to play with, and he literally enjoyed every moment of it!!! They all got along so well. Here are some highlights from the week! (There are a lot but it was really hard to choose)Mason's blessing was great. Crystal and Drew did a great job. Like father like son, the little boy has become obsessed with drawing all the time!!Oh how Grandma is so loved!!!!The kids love to stand up on my mom's fire place with the mike and pretend that they are singing. It is quite the show!!My 2 boys enjoying the pizza joint we went to. Nothing like walking into a place and telling them we have 24 people in your party. It was a blast!!The kids all up playing in the TV room. They just all loved being around each other!!!Brayden was just a little hungry, and really this is what he ate!Talmadge was a little worried about the olive fingers!!My awsome family!!!!! I could not have asked for more during this holiday, it was one for the books!!!

Happy Halloween

We had so much fun this year for Halloween. We got together the week before Halloween and carved pumpkins with the Arnells and Bannings the kids had a great time. We cut out a Mickey Mouse for Talmadge and Matt did a Seattle Seahawks.This was our pimpkins a couple of days after we cut them out, I promise they looked better before they started to shrivel up. Talmadge was so fascinated with the candle inside!!!!

We went trick or treating with the Banning and Arnells again, always the best to go with family, I think it is the funnest!!! Talmadge was not so sure about his hat on his costume but he looked so cute!!!! Andra was such a great sport to go with the little kids and show them the ropes.I think the girls look so pretty in the princesses outfits!!!!Talmadge was pretty fast about getting the hang of going up to the doors. Of course he didn't say anything when he got up there but he was proud to hold up his basket and get some candy!!!Talmadge loved walking up to the doors, however walking from house to house was not his thing he would sit down on the driveway and as you see below towards the end he even layed down on the driveway. As most of you know my little boy is not a light man. So needless to say my back was killing me by the end of the night carrying him all around, the little stinker.Please someone carry me!!!!!!!!!We had a great time walking around!!!And the kids loved their candy. This is Talmadges first sucker that he has had and man did he love it!!!!!!
