Winter Wonderland!

Pictures from our deck of the first "real" snow of the season!


Beautiful sunrise




We finally have snow! Pretty late in the season for us. Today it's about 3 degrees so we are well into the winter weather! In other words...Rosie brace yourself for Christmastime because it's going to be cold and dark! :) But when it's clear and the sun comes out it sure is beautiful!!!

Our Little Pink Piglet

As if he doesn't get enough to eat...he's got to eat his toes!

This is Noah's new favorite position. He loves to pull his chubby legs up with both arms and chew on his feet. I usually leave his bottom half undressed after I change him for awhile just so he can chew on them! The funniest part about this picture is since I was trying to keep out his "parts" so it was blog worthy it looks like he's got someone elses legs!

Happy Halloween!

Our little monkey and porky pumpkin!

We took the boys to a concert on Halloween. It was of course for kids with the theme "Alien Antics". Ben loved the music and the lights on the stage. He sat totally enthralled on Brent's lap most of the performance. Noah was content to sit and watch until they played the Star Wars theme...the loud part at the beginning scared him so he then spent the rest of the performance nursed into a sleep coma! This is one of my favorite perks of breastfeeding!!! They had trick or treating afterwards in the building but it was crazy...I'm really glad Ben doesn't even know what candy is so we could skip that part with no objections from him. Our good friends Jeff and Cassandra came with their little girl Mallory too. So much fun!

Benjamin Boo is Two!

Posing with his presents so artfully wrapped by his Aunt Rosie


Most of the kiddos at his birthday party having cake (the folding table and chairs set was a gift from Grandma Debbie)


The Thomas the Train cake that Rose decorated all by herself! And everyone thought was store bought!

We had a little party for Ben while my sister was here visiting. It was a small gathering of people but with parent and kids the house filled up quick! It was fun though. With my sister's help we made a Mexican feast - so yummy!
There will be more pictures to come - my photo editor is messed up so I have to wait until it gets fixed.

Noah is 4 months old!

Noah posing nakey :)


Just for comparison...Ben at 4 months...same chair!


He just recently found his feet and loves to grab them!


They are so sweet :)

Noah is becoming quite the talker lately. He is actually pretty loud and especially likes to talk when he pulls his paci out of his mouth, sometimes at 5am! He is sleeping through the night but not taking very long naps. But Ben didn't sleep through the night at this age and didn't take long naps either so I'll take what I can get! We go to the doctor for Ben's 2yr and Noah's 4 month next week so we will have stats then!

Photoshoot Time!

I took these pictures about 3 weeks ago...I guess I forgot to post them on here! Things just slip my mind... It was hard getting Ben to cooperate and Noah not to cry but there were a few cute ones :)

The Family

Our most recent picture... we had to bribe Ben with food so he's got a mouthful in this picture but it was the best out of the bunch!

"Boose"

New moose slippers from Granma Cathie


Excuse me, "boose" not moose :)

Science through Toys exhibit at the new museum

Ben's favorite exhibit... the race car


"Fishing" with his buddy Mallory!


Me and my boys




Climbing the stairs to the kid house

We went to the new museum to check out this exhibit with our friends Cassandra and her daughter Mallory. It was really fun. We are excited to go back with Brent next time so he can play more with Ben and the toys!

Wildlife Sightings...

The "pond" next to our house...


Moose checking out Brent's new shed


Bear on the side of the road


Taking pictures from the car... he actually started to walk towards the car...brave bear!

In a period of about 2 weeks we saw 12 moose total on our property. Strange since before that I'd never seen any moose at our house! One was a group of 5 with a young bull moose calling to a cow because it's mating season...apparently his rack wasn't big enough for her and she just put him off - kind of funny!
