Happy birthday Ashlynn

While my niece was in town we celebrated her 9th birthday. Cole and Cami had fun helping me make the cake. Cole loves to sit on the counter and help me cook and bake. He has now realized that he can lick the spoon when I am all done. It is the cutest thing, he licks his lips and says yum while we are making stuff just waiting for the spoon or a taste of whatever we are making.

Thanksgiving

My brother and his family came out for Thanksgiving weekend. My mom hosted the dinner at her house and we gobbled till we wobbled. It was scrumptious!! Way to go mom!

While most people take naps after their big turkey feast, my little guy feels the need to roll down the hills!!

OMG - it's raining!!

So we had a change in weather today...it rained!!! Cole was so excited that it was raining that he didn't want to go back inside. I searched in the cupboards and dusted off our umbrellas which Cole thought were so much fun. Carson got to partake in the rain also and both boys had fun playing with daddy and looking at the rainbow!

say cheese!!!

I took the boys to get Cole's 2 year and Carson's 6 month pictures. They turned out really cute. Cole is getting so big and looks way older than a 2 year old. I don't like it one bit.

Moms Night Out!

I hosted this months MNO for my Moms Club this past weekend! The theme was wedding and we wore our old vails, tiaras and some still fit into their wedding dresses - lucky them!! We looked at everyone's wedding books and shared stories and memories of our special day. It was a fun evening and we finished it off by eating wedding cake. Chad and I have been married just over 3 1/2 years!!

Gilbert Days Parade

The Perham Gang headed out to the Gilbert Days parade this morning. Gilbert Days celebrates the traditions of the southwest and Gilbert's strong western history. It kicked off this morning with a parade and ends next weekend with the Rodeo/carnival. We had so much fun looking at the floats, eating the candy that was being passed out and listening to the marching bands. Here are some pictures: Munching on the pop corn that Ace harware was handing out while waiting for the parade to start!

Cole loved the fire truck and school buses the most. He had so much fun waving to everyoneas thet went by!

some floats were being pulled by tractors!!

Good ole' Santa Clause even paid a visit!!

yummy food!!

Carson is 6 months old!! We had our doctor's appoitment this morning and Carson weighed in at 18.8 lbs and is 27 3/4 inches long! He has slowed down in the weight department and is now in the 50% and in the 90% for height. His bottom two teeth are poking through and the doc also pointed out that all four teeth on top are getting ready to pop out - poor thing! That would explain why he feels the need to put anything he can in his mouth.

We also started baby food this week. He isn't too keen on the rice cereal but gobbled up the peas I gave him last night. He opens his mouth up everytime the spoon comes near his mouth. These boys do not need to be taught how to eat, i think it comes naturally to them:)

Carson has a new nick name that Grandpa Don gave him - he is now called "w" for wiggles. This kid can't sit still for the life of him and feels the need to roll and wiggle all the time. He is also my mister chatty and talks all the time. he is too precious. I think Carson is going to be my Mr. Personality!! Next week the boys will be getting their 2 year and 6 month pictures. Can't wait to post them!

Like Totally Fun at Bunco

My friends and I met up last night for our monthly Bunco night! As you can see the theme was 80's! We had like a totally fun time. We had cabbage pactch kids cheesecake, starwars salsa, Punky Brewster pigs in a blanket, strawberry shortcake strawberries, rocked the night away to tiffany, debbie gibson, new kids on the block and more. We had so much and can't wait till January!!

Scoot, Scoot and more Scooting!!

Colie got a scooter for his birthday and has been scooting ever since. It is so cute how much he loves his new scooter. In fact, he wouldn't go trick or treating without it. So wouldn't you know we took it trick or treating with us. The greatest thing about the scooter is not that it has four wheels, but that he has learned the concept of steering. I think that will help him when he decides he wants to ride his tricycle one day.

While Cole scoots up and down the driveway, Carson hangs out in his discovery center. He has so much fun watching Cole and thinks he is the best big brother ever!

Linda sent me the above picture a couple days ago. It is so cute how they play together and love each other. I am so happy to have two boys!

Wedding

Chad was a groomsman in one of his friends wedding this past weekend. The ceremony was at a quaint church in Tempe and the reception was at the Buttes resort. The reception was absolutely beautiful and we had a great time seeing old friends.

Moms Club Lunch

This past Monday our MOMS Club went to Peter Piper Pizza for lunch and a tour. The kids had so much fun learning how dough is made and that dough turns into pizza. I think they might of been more facinated with the ice machine but all in all it was super fun. The greatest thing about these pizza places is we only need one token for the ski ball machine and Cole is good to go!
