Happy Halloween!

We hope everyone had a happy halloween today! We had a lazy day...then Daniel & Kelley came over and we took the kiddos around the block trick-or-treating..it was so fun! :) Drake was a little fussy because it was bedtime and he hadn't had much of a nap today, but he loved being outside and walking around. He didn't understand the whole process, so he would get mad when we would try and direct him up to a house, and when we tried to get him to leave...haha! But he held his pumpkin bucket the whole time, I tried to take it away at one point cause I thought he was tired of holding it and he wouldn't let it go!

I got a few pictures with our camera, but Kelley got a lot of better ones on her camera so once she emails them to me I will post those as well. Drake was a cute monkey and Sadie was the cutest flower! :) Good times and memories!

Things are going well around here.....same old stuff. Thanks for everyone's thoughts and prayers this month with my step-dad Gregg. He is home and doing well, we are so thankful for his recovery! :)

We are looking forward to the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday....time for a much needed break from work! I posted two videos: one is him in bounce house at pumpkin patch, he just sat in there...it was funny. He finally after a few minutes tried to get up and jump, but kept falling down. The other video is him "helping" daddy clean out a pumpkin...but he whined everytime a piece of pumpkin got on his hand..haha! (so much like me) Enjoy!

Back to School

September is here and we are back to school. It has been hard getting back on schedule and everything is so stressful at the beginning of the year (if you are a teacher you understand). So needless to say I have been busy and exhausted!! After only being back to school one week I end up sick...my same old sinus infection that I get every year. Drake has been doing well. He is back with his babysitter and having a good time with her! He is talking more and more, he is finally saying words that actually make sense instead of just all jibberish...and he is trying to say what you tell him to say. So far he says: mama, dada, ball, tree, uh-oh, mmuuu(more), Bo, cracker, bath, and when you tell him bye bye he kisses his hand--he is blowing you a kiss!

He is growing so much! I can't believe he will be 19 months on Monday. He is a climbing fool! His newest thing is to find any toy, anything that he thinks he can step on and use it to help him climb on couch. He loves to sit on the couch...which I don't mind as long as I am sitting with him cause if not he runs back and forth making me a nervous wreck!

Okay well I am tired...11:00 on a Friday night and I am exhausted...better get to bed! Will let you know how he does at Bo's game tomorrow if it doesn't get rained out like tonight's did. Good night all! :)
