Random Moments

Kelsey likes to fly on Mommy's knees.


Check out these thighs!


This is Garrett 'nursing' Teddy. When I'm feeding Kelsey
in the mornings he will often find Teddy, pull up his shirt,
and patiently wait for him to have a drink.


Can you imagine sleeping like this? Notice that his head
is resting on two other monster trucks.


Cozy cousins. Both Kelsey and Cruz are incredible
droolers which explains the bibs.

The next Tony Hawk??


Garrett spent a great deal of time today practicing his skateboarding skills. He mastered amazing couch jumps and demonstrated skill while skateboarding across the kitchen floor.





Such concentration!

Kelsey watches her brother and is worried since he isn't wearing a helmet.

You give the boy a piece of chicken and he won't eat it. You give him a whole drumstick and he eats the whole thing right down to the bone. Who knew?

Fun facts about Garrett

1. Garrett loves most food but if he doesn't want to eat something you just have to give him some dip. Almost any type of dip works. Last night he dipped steak, potato, sweet potato, carrots, and Nan bread in sour cream. Yummy!

2. Garrett doesn't just sleep with his beloved Teddy anymore. Most nights he sleeps with his two Monster Trucks, 2-3 balls (usually of the large rubber variety), and up to 7 stuffed animals. He also insists on having his drink and he has to be covered by two blankets. If his feet become uncovered or he can't find a certain animal he will call for assistance. Once he's all hunkered down next to his toys he will say, "Bye Mommy or Daddy" and will promptly fall asleep.

3. If Garrett sees something he likes on TV he will say, "Look Teddy," and will turn Teddy's head towards the TV. If he hurts himself he will often want even more attention and while sobbing will say, "Look Teddy, look puppy, look baby...WAHHHH!!!"

Trick or Treat!

We had a great Halloween this year. Uncle Dean, Aunty Meghan and Ballerina Bella came over to enjoy the festivities and eat our leftover candy. Garrett went trick-or-treating to 5 houses but had more fun watching the 125 kids who came knocking on our door. Kelsey was quite happy napping most of the evening away.





Garrett's first attempt at trick-or-treating.

Ballerina Bella. Doesn't she look thrilled?

My first attempt at blogging

After some pressure from grandparents for some recent photos and some Mommy guilt about not having time to scrapbook, I am going to copy my sister-in-law, Lori, and try to keep a blog. She promised me that this was easy so I'll give it a try.
