Hello All

We have been busy with Christmas parties, we have had something the last 2 Saturdays. Dads family came in on the 13th we decided to do it early so more of them could come. It gets so hard on Christmas to get everyone in one place at one time. It was a good day. Then on the 20th Moms side came in we had a great time. I have pics from all of this and will post soon. The kiddos are doing great. We are making big steps with potty training. I now believe they will do it when they are ready. Jonathan has refused to poop in the potty for months and all the sudden last week he said I need to poop. And he has every since. YEAH ! They are done training for the daytime with the occasional accidents, next comes night time. They say the funniest things. Here is a conversation from breakfast last week. I told them to get finished so we could go to Walmart. Jeremiah said "can we go see nemo" (goldfish at walmart) I said yes if you hurry up and get done. Jonathan said "NO we cant Nemo is DEAD !" I said no he is not. Jonathan said "Yes he is I BIT HIS HEAD OFF LAST NIGHT" (he ate nemo fruit snacks the night before) I was rolling in the floor laughing. He was so serious.
Then later Jeremiah was helping me change Gracie's outfit and I took her shirt off and said "OH mommy Gracie has 2 feeders" (her little boobies) I guess I need to be more careful to cover when nursing !! I cant believe the stuff they come up with. Never a dull moment around here.
I will post pictures soon. Have a great Christmas !!

Some new pics from the last few weeks. And Thanksgiving with family. We went to Matt mom and dads for lunch then his Grandmothers for dinner and this is were the boys are playing the piano and singing. And then all my sisters and there kids were at mom and dads for Saturday dinner. It was nice to all be together. I took the kids to see Shane Saturday morning. It was a great visit the boys took right to him which was good. I was thinking they would be scared. He seems to be doing good.
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

New pics from the last week or so. My attempt to get a fall pic of the kids, which was not good. Playing at the house. We bought Matt a airplane ride for his Birthday but he has been waiting till the leaves change to go. So him and Caleb(his brother) went last weekend. The pilot let the boys ride down the runway. They loved it !!
Gracie is in her own room now, we moved her out of the bassinet when she started sleeping through the night. She is doing great . Matt found this little frog outside and brought him in for the boys to play with. Everytime they touched him he hopped away.

Pumpkin Patch and new pics

We went to the pumpkin patch last week with our mops group and had a blast ! The boys loved it they had so much to do with all the animals, fields to play in and of course the tractor ride to the pumpkin field. Which it took them forever to pick the best pumpkin.
I was getting out winter stuff and they ask for the mittens and hats , I came in the living room and they were wrestling with them on and they said "it is my fight clothes " ?? I have no clue where this came from . But it was cute.
We have been going potty this last week and they are doing good, I think they finally get the idea. I cant wait !!
Enjoy the pics

Gracie's 2month, Birthday and Election

Gracie had her 2 month check up , she was 12.8 pounds (81 %), 22 7/8 length (61 %). She is doing great and obviously a little pig !!

The boys had a wonderful party. We had the big party at the park Saturday. Thanks to all our friend's who came to help celebrate. And for all our new stuff ! Then Sunday Paw and Maw had another little party and gave them the power wheels trucks which they love. They did surprising good driving them. And today Tuesday we had our party here. Melissa and Kayla were here to help us celebrate. This is all so hard for me to grasp that they are already 3 !! Time fly's. Enjoy the pics

Also I want to urge everyone to GO VOTE !!! This election is so very important for us as Christians and we that stand on what America has for the last hundreds of years. But if Obama gets elected things are going to change for the worse.. For heaven sake he wont even pledge allegiance to the American flag ! And that is just the tip of the ice burg .. So please educate your self of the 2 candidate's and vote.

Update

Time is flying by. The boys party is this weekend, so we have been baking today cookies and cupcakes. We went to pumpkin town this past weekend just a fall festival in town. The boys went on a wagon ride , got a face painting, decorated pumpkins and played some games, It was a great family day. We got out the play gym for Gracie and she LOVES it, she kicks and makes noises everytime we put her in it. But the boys wont stay out of it.The are so crazy ! She is getting so big, we go for her 2 month check up in the morning. Will update soon with birthday pics.
Have a good weekend
