Curious...

Does anyone else see something that just doesn't belong in the pantry? Little man is into everything! Toilet paper, trash cans, cupboards, pantry... now that he has been crawling for a couple of weeks he's fast and furiously into everything in sight. He has gotten bored with the toys out for him and is on to bigger and better messes. He knows when someone goes into a closed door that he cannot go into. He is right there waiting to gain entrance at the first glimpse of weekness. As pictured below he is so proud of himself when he is found out. It is really fun to have a new baby in the family.

What's in a Name?

Our family has fun with names. It started with Bradley, Taylor, and Abbi in the car. Mark was trying to keep them occupied and happy until we got home so he started making up names for each of them.

Mark: My Name's Alfalfa Don't Call Me Ralpha
Taylor: Pumpernickel Brewster Sox
Bradley: In-the-Bushes Blyleven
Abbi: Glass Shoe Magoo
Annabelle: Corn Crop Chop

We call each other fun names all the time. Some of the other names we have come up with are...

Abbi: Monster Abs, Magillicutty, Abba Gallabba Goo, Princess Analise, Happy Abbi

Annabelle: Annabellito, Stinker Pots, Stinker Doodle, Princess Erica, Cutie Patootie

Brooks: Booger, Snaggletooth, Little Duder, Stinker, Brooksie, Cutie Bug,

On The Hunt

The day after Thanksgiving we have a tradition of going to Island Park to cut down our Christmas tree each year.

Mark was having fun showing Brooks the ropes of being a man with an ATV.

I love this picture! Grandpa is always great with the grandkids. Thanks Dad for loving my children.

Abbi and Annabelle loved being outside despite their having minor colds. It was so beautiful outside with not even so much as a breeze.

Uncle Doug is so fun to have around. Thanks for sharing our family moments, we love having you with us.

My cousin Crystal and I were having some fun of our own.

Finding a Christmas tree is always fun, but all the more when atv's are involved. We had a blast with all the family. There were a lot of snowballs, screaming kids, jokes, and laughter. Thanks Family for all the fun times we had.
