Little Drummer Boy

So clearly Connor wanted his picture taken and NOT to be taped! Notice how he gets distracted so easily at the end ;)

Connor was playing the drums for us and for some reason he just couldn't keep his pants up! Grandpa Clark and Dad may have had a hand in that ;)

Thanksgiving 2009

These are the only Thanksgiving pictures that I got on our camera so hopefully we get some more emailed to us!

Abby dancing with Daddy

Cutie Abby

Hey!!!

Abby snuggling with Auntie Megan

Week Two

So can I tell you that I love the fact that in this picture the only person looking at the camera is the infant! Usually all the other people are looking and waiting until the infant looks at that camera. Well none of us were looking the right way or had our eyes open but Abby, man is she making good eye contact with the camera ;) Good job little lady! Abby, Connor and I went to my parents this weekend (Paul had drill) because Max and Jacob were there. Connor and Jacob had a GREAT time together. A little rowdy for me but they had a good time.

Fall Fun at Lily and Papa's!

The boys had a great time running around and them we raked some leaves together and they had a blast playing in them too. Abby got dressed up all warm too and enjoyed some fresh air.

Hello, lovely lady!

Peek-a-boo!! Coonor thought that Jacob's funny face looked like a dinosaur!

52 week challange

Ok, I saw this on my friend Amy's blog and I am joining the challange!! I challange all you other mommies out there to start too!!! It says you are supposed to do Thursdays but I had a great picture that Paul took of us on Sunday and so last week was my Week One and I will get another picture this week, I can't wait!!

What a lovely day!!

Connor is getting so good at the Firer Pole!!

The weather was great and we had a wonderful time. I told Connor that we could go back after nap. So I better hurry to the store before he wakes up!! Bye!

Our Walk

(ok, I keep trying to get this down by the pic with the children and me but it keeps going to the top so, oh well!)

Almost to the park, I think Connor ran the whole way. Connor seemed more excited than Modi :)

"I'm alright!"

I think that this is the best way to go to the park ;)

Awwwww, Mom and the kids :)

Fresh Pumpkin!

I got some pie pumpkins the other day and today I decided to bake them and while I was scooping out the pumpkin I thought Abby would like some so I set some aside and that is what she had for lunch. She LOVED it!!!

I think she may have had one too many bites of pumpkin, she looks a bit done ;)

My babies at 6 months :)

Here are some of the pictures that are "priceless" and hit the cutting room floor :)

Our lovely children :)

This is what you get when you try to capture a lovely family of four that includes a 4 year old and a squirmy 6 month old :) Gotta love them!

Connor's Feet :)

Abby's feet :)

Hello Tooth!!!

Abby has really loved chewing on my knuckle these days. Well I went in to her classroom today and got her out of her bed to change her diaper and she leaned forward to chew on my knuckle and OUCH!! her first tooth is breaking through!!!!! May baby girl has a tooth!! I couldn't really see it but I could sure feel it:) It's one of her bottom front ones. Can't remember if it's right or left, I jerked too fast to really feel;) She's going to be eating steak and corn on the cob before you know it!

(these are backwards, I loaded them straight off the computer instead of with Picasa so I didn't know they went in the other order, oops!)



So this is Connor "all dressed up" with his new presents! Spiderman hat and mittens, winter coat and BUMBLEBEE blanket!!!






this is the cool dino card he got:)



Man, I turned away for a second and Connor starts to giggle and say, "Hey moooom" I turn back around and he has bitten right into his cake!! The little stinker, I couldn't help but giggle myself. I love him so much. He is such a wonderful son and big brother. I can't even believe that my baby is four years old. I am just glad that he misses the cut off for school and I don't have to deal with sending him to kindergarten next year! That will be tough. I have had him with me everyday for the last four years, I know I complain about it sometimes. It would be nice to not be with my children 24/7 but I hate to think about the day that he will be at school all by himself too :( They really do grow up too fast!

School Birthday

Here are some pictures from Connor's School Birthday party :) We had cookies with Chocolate icing and we all wore hats and sang 'Happy Birthday!" Connor had a lot of fun today at school :)

C-O-N-N-O-R

Connor "learned" how to spell his name a few months ago but the last couple weeks he has really been able to do it consistently. He is really into counting, identifying numbers and spelling his name:) I can't believe he's FOUR already!!!!

Trick or Treat!

We had a lot of fun Trick or Treating last night. Connor was a King and Abby was a Lobster:) Connor wore the shirt that Aunt Rara made him and his sword and sheild that Auntie Erin got him and a crown that he made! It was a great costume and he really was excited to wear it. It was great weather and Connor even scored a BatMan HotWheels car!!

Pumpkin hunting

Needless to say, we didn't get a pumpkin to carve :(

Connor said, "aww man. but mom, there are apples!" We did get some apples, but we bought them from inside :)

It wasn't a wasted trip though, we got to swing and play and bought enough apples to make some WONDERFUL apple crisp!
