pumpin carbin

we enjoyed ourselves a little pumpkin carving at the greg's on hallow's eve. we all pretty much had a pumpkin but as before mentioned jude does not like the actual act of pumpkin carving so he sat idly by (as if any 2 7/8 child sits idly by...).

jude did however chose which design he wanted me to carve so he paid extra attention to my work.

trev/landy/rog

kennan/jude

nannie's halloween party

nannie really is the bestest grandma around. last saturday she hosted a halloween party for all of her grandkids (minus the sanoma county ones). it was a smash, a lot out of control, but a smash none the less. the four 2-3 year olds were a little intense.

parading over to auntie eileen's for a little show and tell

26 feels old

i had a wonderful birthday this year....
trevan stayed home from work and the kids didn't wake up until 10:30. i love having trevan home from work, that may have been the best part of the day. we had a late breakfast at iHop (no laughing, i wanted breakfast) and then spied some christmas wish list hopeful's at REI.

that night we supped at the precious delicous 'italian village' and then headed over to the greg's for some cake. what a wonderful day.

once again, i was totally and completely spoiled. what can i say? people love me.

jude was not too hip on it being my birthday. he kept saying "let's go to jude's birthday!". next week bud, next week.

i heart my in-laws. i am so one of them.



Happy Birthday My Beautiful Girl!!

So I've never done this blog thing before, so sorry if it doesn't have nice fonts and the witty writing of my wife. Yesterday (10/28) was her birthday, so after what she did for my birthday, I wanted to list 26 things that I LOVE about Kennan.

Off we go......

1. How stunningly beautiful she is
2. How she dresses
3. The way she sings in the car
4. How wonderful she is to our kids
5. The way Greta lights up when she sees her mommie
6. How Jude prefers her to me any day (it used to be hard, but not anymore)
7. Her home-made meals
8. Her determination....when she wants something done, either get on board or get out of the way!!
9. How pro-active she is w/ our kids and their issues, other than ear infections.
10. Her love for cop/lawyer/missing people TV shows (Law & Order, Cold Case, Without a Trace).
11. Her loyalty
12. How she wants to be the best at all she does
13. How she pretends to care about my hobbies when I talk to her about them, but I really know that she could care less.
14. Her sense of humor and quick wit
15. Her ability to calm me down when I'm stressed
16. How she always wants to spend all of her time w/ me
17. I never question her love for me or our kids
18. Her sweet dance moves, mostly the hopping 1-legged kick
19. She brought the 2 most beautiful children into this earth for us
20. Her ability to laugh at herself and not take things so seriously
21. Her high cheek-bones and softest lips ever
22. Her short hair. I love love love it. Nobody wears it as good as her
23. How she's way out of my league
24. The way she hugs me
25. I never have to worry about not having the best-dressed kids
26. Most of all, the way she loves me

I hope you know how much I love you! You're the best and I'm so glad that you chose me. I don't know what I'd do without you.
