Catching up

Here are just a bunch of pictures of what we have been up to:

When Jonah blow dries his hair:
I got the kids all pumped up and excited to carve pumpkins. I got all the carving stuff out, and then we tried to carve them and they were so hard. Matt said there was no way we would be able to carve the pumpkins. So I told the kids we could paint them instead. Painting pumpkins is SOOOO much easier! I didn't really feel up to carving pumpkins but I felt guilty and thought I should just do it anyway, so now I can say that I put in an honest effort!


Finished result
More smiles, Ty is starting to smile a lot more now

Denver Blizzard. It has been snowing like crazy all over parts of Colorado. The news said Castle Rock got up to 20 inches of snow in some parts. Matt took the kids sledding; I stayed inside with Ty and took pictures from the deck.





Ty in the bumbo. He is doing pretty good holding his head up, but he doesn't really like the bumbo right now; too much effort I think.
Mikelle entered the coloring contest for our apartment complex. Here is her work:

Smiling already. Time sure flies. That's a lot of snow. Almost makes me jealous. Almost.
Tell Mikelle I love her picture and tell her and Jonah that I really really like their pumpkins.

After I told you we were going to paint pumpkins we ended up carving because Boston REALLY wanted to "cut" his pumpkin. I still think painting is the way to go. Mikelle's picture looks really good. I'm impressed with how she stays in the lines-she better win!
