Clo Bug

As my kids grow it is so interesting to watch them. They are all such unique individuals and even though I wish that I can freeze time and keep them little, I can't wait for what the future holds.

I really can't believe that this little girl is one because she isn't walking yet or talking for that matter, this girl likes to take her time.
Since the beginning and I mean the beginning she has not been in a hurry although she like to tease... Let me explain... For two weeks before her due date she tricked me into thinking that she was going to arrive early. Which was good because we were in the middle of a move but she was a "tease" and I still had to be induced to get her here in time to move. But she arrived with little trouble and she was an easy going baby, not to demanding.

Then for months she acted like she was about to crawl but she was just teasing and didn't until around 10 months. Don't get me wrong it was nice having her stay put but she was such a little "tease" getting up on her knees acting like she was about to move forward and them just sitting back up and smiling like "Not yet Mom I do it when I feel like it."
Well, I am glad that she likes to take her time! She is at a fun stage she is talking in her own language and the only real word she knows is "Hi" but her babbling is so adorable. She is not close at all to walking but true to her nature she will "tease" by standing up and smiling at you but she will not take at step for all the coaxing in the world!

She is obsessed with the toilet. I know GROSS! She loves to sneak in there and play in the water and loves to hear it flush...hopefully this means she will be easy to potty train. Wishful thinking?

She is still my best eater which should go against the universe...I was a horribly picker eater. This girl loves her fruit and veggies and will eat mostly anything.

Even though she a little "tease" I think we are going to keep her!

School Picture

You don't get any cuter than that!

(Before Seth gave me the picture he said"Now Mom I tried really hard to smile good.")
I debated on if I should order his school pics. I am glad I did.

Silly Syd!

The kids have been soooo excited for Halloween this year. They really understand that it means you get lots of candy. Syd this morning when she woke up she Exclaimed"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!" then she pause and said I mean "HAPPY HALLOWEEN!" It was so funny! So Hope everyone has a fun day.

It's tomorrow!

Seth had a Halloween carnival at his school and there was a pause in the illness so we went...the kids had fun even though I was wondering why it was really lame. But I was glad a got some pics of them in the costumes because it has snowed and it will not be so easy to get some tomorrow.

October

October has been a busy Month.. I think that we are FINALLY well lets hope it sticks. It is starting to get cold and I know that this means the beginning of the long cold winter but it also means they beginning of the holiday season. (I am trying to focus on the later.) The kids are getting excited for Halloween and so am I. Halloween was my favorite holiday as a kid I LOVE candy! I am loving that my kids are at fun ages. Michael found out that he has to go to Utah for work on Halloween which sticks... but my good old Brother is coming to help with the kids so it should still be a good time. My parents were up this week and it was nice to visit with them. Except were we all sick most of the time. Anyway, thanks Mom and Dad for coming up, We love you!Halloween witches the kids and I made, they were a lot of fun to do.

My Dad got me this beautiful fall bouquet..isn't he sweet..thanks Dad!

Our Girls

My Mom and I made these dresses for the girls..I think they turned out cute.

CAKE

The CAKES!

Half the stars are missing because early Syd and her friend Kate ate them off...I am glad it taste good but I hadn't even got a picture that is why the first on is angle to only show half the cake. gotta love kids!

I just did a small one for little Chloe
It took her awhile to figure out what she was suppose to do but She loved it in the end!!

Both Birthdays were a success... we are still battling sickness around here and it is getting annoying. I still have a head cold that I just can't seem to get rid of. I have and ear ache and I can't even remember the last time that happened.. Syd was throwing up in the back ground of the picture above...good thing Chloe didn't realize that is gross or she might have lost her appetite. Sydney was doing better but then started throwing up again today! Hopefully we can get healthy soon.
