Hannah's Fall Fun

Today we are taking a meal to a family in our church than we are headed to Cincinnati! Have a great Day!!

a little home

We love packages from the relatives!!!
THANK YOU NANA!

Big Boy!

WOW!! I hadn't realized just how much Calvin looks like Hannah until I pulled out the photo album. (both age 5 mo)

Also...Calvin in his "BIG Boy"Chair. He loves it. Thanks Emily!!

Today is Dan's last day of vacation. He is pretty sad. But on a happier note, the semester is almost over. He should have a nice break from classes until January!

Giggles for Daddy

When we got home from Maggie's BD party and trick or treating Hannah got to eat some of her candy while Dan played with Calvin. Make sure your volume is up for this one!! His giggle is SOOOO cute here.

Happy Birthday Maggie!!!

Photos of Maggie's Birthday party. The kids had a blast playing, eating cake, and trick or treating afterwards...and there wasn't freezing rain this year! Bonus!!

feet are fun

This is Calvin's favorite thing to do when left on his back. He lifts up his legs and holds his feet, than if he gets tired he slams them down. He especially likes to slam them down at ALL hours of the night. He also likes to take his fingers and scrape them across the side of his bed making a scratch scratch scratch noise!!!

~~~~~~~~~~

me: (to Dan) Maybe we should start buying Christmas presents. I bet we could do one every other week starting this week. We already bought Sarah's gift.

Hannah: Do you mean Sarah Palin or Aunt Sarah?

2 nights ago I forgot to put a pull up on Hannah, and when she woke up the whole bed was wet! At the time I didn't know she didn't have a pull up on, so I was not pleased with the amt of wetness on the bed.(usually it isn't very much...) Anyway, I stripped the bed and was in the process of washing everything when Hannah came yelling "Momma Momma, in the middle of the night you took off my pull up and put underwear on me! And then I pee'd all on them!! Are they ruined now? Can we keep them?" -Poor thing. It was SO funny though. I can't believe I forgot!

Swing Bubby Swing

Doesn't he look like he has 2 chins here?? So cute. He loves his Johnny Jump Up. Thanks Alicia. This video was taken a few weeks ago...since then he can twist himself around to the left(that's his preferred side anyway!!) and Hannah has been banned from swinging him without us being around. (don't ask).

Dan is on vacation this week, and we are having a nice relaxing week with him. He is almost done with the semester and we are SO excited for that.

Happy Fall

Here are some Happy pictures of my cute kids to enjoy on this somber depressing day. But do take hope in the knowledge that God is in control! May he continue to bless us in the midst of this new era in which we live now. Let us pray for our children and their children as well, as the future of our country now rests in their hands! Let us teach them diligently the truths of our faith so that they can make a difference in this world. Also pray that our new president elect will choose to make wise decisions that are for the good of all!! He needs our prayers, as he is not good at making wise choices!!

who will it be?

Happy Voting Day!!

Yummy

Bubby has been eating rice cereal once a day for the past 2 weeks. I bet he could do more if I actually took the time to feed him. It is kinda a pain in the butt. Hannah insists on helping...which makes for a "nice" mess to clean up! I have lost track of how many times the bowl has splattered on the floor. I think he will progress fast though, b/c we have already stuck stuff in his mouth for him to taste. Dan gave him pizza last week. He wasn't to fond of the taste, but Dan is very hopefull he will change his mind soon:)

Out of the mouth of Hannah!!

The following took place from 11:30-11:40am (beep beep beep...Can you tell Dan is watching season 6 of the show 24 this week!):

Hannah: Hey Mom, can you tell me a story of when you were little and your Mommy?

Me: Who is my Mommy?

Hannah: Nana is your Mommy!! But I mean your Mommy when you were little.

Me: Nana has always been my Mommy. Even when I was little.

Hannah: No, she is your Mommy now. I want to know about your Mommy when you were like me.

Me: You mean Nana! She is the only Mommy I have ever had.

Hannah: No, I want to hear about your other Mommy.

Me: (thinking in my head how to change the subject)
(long pause...)

Hannah: Are you going to tell Daddy I said that?

Me: YES!!!!!

-------------------------------------

I will often tell Hannah "you can do that when you are 18 and move out" and it always ends up with her saying that she is going to live with me forever. She wants to grow up and do the chores for me and go to the grocery store for me ect. Here is the recent "help" I will receive when I am "old".

Hannah: When you are old and I come live with you we can go to 6-Flags and I can help you buckle your seat belt.

Me: (laughing) Thanks Hannah!

(in my head: you probably shouldn't ride rides at 6-Flags if you are that old!!)

-------------------------

We were driving to a Birthday Party Friday evening and as we were passing the Mercedes car dealership...

Hannah: Mom, which one of those cars do you think I will buy when I can drive?

Me: I doubt that you will have that kind of money when you are 16. Those cars cost a lot of money.

Hannah: More than our van?

Me: YES. But Daddy said he would save the Mustang for you when you are old enough to drive! That way you don't have to buy a car.

Hannah: O yeah.

Awww Man!

Hannah has been learning how to play the Wii all week. She is getting much better. It is kinda nerve racking though to play with her! She usually just flings the ball down the lane and ends up knocking the pins down. While Dan and I take time to line up the ball with the dots ect. She also is very unfocused, and takes about 6 min per turn.
This morning she finally beat me 159 to 156. But than I came back and decimated her on the next round! She is obsessed with getting a "Sparkle" Ball. (you have to get 1000 pts to get one) It really is kinda cute. I am thinking of having a Wii Bowling party for her and a few of her friends who play.
*The best part of the video is Bubby watching her. He is SO cute

DON'T FORGET TO SET YOUR CLOCKS BACK TONIGHT!! YOU DON'T WANT TO ARRIVE AT CHURCH AT THE WRONG TIME!!!!!!
