Attention Family!

I bought my very first Christmas gift today and it is for Katelyn. I wanted to post it in case anyone else thought about buying it - please don't! If you happen to have already gotten this as a gift for her please let me know and I can return it and do something else.

It is a RoseArt Deluxe Creative Tool Box. It has 100 pieces like markers, crayons, stickers and so much more! I thought she'd love it and picked it up today. I don't want her to get double of something and wanted to let everyone know. Thanks!!!

pumpkins galore!

Today we took a trip to Fulton's Farm to pick out pumpkins for our house. Actually I should say Katelyn picked out all the pumpkins! She was so very excited to do it and for every one that she got for herself she had to get a matching one for Mitch. It was adorable. Once we got there the very first one she saw she wanted but we convinced her to look around and then decide. She walked through and picked two large pumpkins and two smaller ones, then saw some little ones and picked two from that batch. Daddy picked up the big ones and took the smaller ones from Katelyn to put in the wheel barrow and I held Mitch and took the pictures. We had a great time doing it and Katelyn herself had a blast. It was nice and sunny but really windy, Fultons was very busy as we all had the same idea of getting pumpkins! Here are the pictures from our adventure...

little brother

As I'm posting this, Katelyn was asking Mitch if it was alright if she could lay down with him...she's so sweet and good with her little brother. Mitch is getting bigger by the day and I can't believe that as of Saturday he was 7 weeks. He is able to focus on our faces as we are holding him and will sometimes smile in return. He is also starting to 'talk' as I say. It is so adorable and brings back all my memories with Katelyn as a baby. It is fun to be going through it again.

Cousins

On Friday evening my cousing Lakyn, Aunt Laura and Grandma came out to play with Mitch and I. The babies mainly slept and ate while I took tons of pictures! We had a lot of fun hanging out together.

Our internet has been down for the last week or so and that is why I haven't posted any pictures in awhile. Here are some from the many that I'm always taking!









This past Monday was my first day back to work and boy it was just as tough as it was leaving Katelyn behind! I love picking her and Mitch up every afternoon. 4 o'clock can't come soon enough for me!

Weekend Update

The weekend started off with mommy finding a playset that used to be Katelyn's and now is being used for Mitch. However once Katelyn spotted it she wanted to play with it and I had to explain how she now needed to share certain things. She was ok with that as long as she could help and still play. Mitch was content in it for awhile and seemed to be listening to the music that it played. But after some time of laying there he did start to get fussy and play time was over!

Yesterday I took advantage of the fact that Katelyn was sitting with me and willing to be still and attempted to do a double french braid to her hair. To my astonishment it worked! The left side was easier to do as it was the side with less hair since she has a side part, but I finally got the right side finished. I plan on doing it more in the future for outings so people can actually see it in person! She looked adorable and left it in for the remainder of the day which is awesome because she normally takes out everything soon after I did it. I also think that she really liked it, it kept the hair out of her eyes!

Of course she wouldn't just give me a regular smile and pose and did a goofy picture!

Here we see all of her "babies" lined up on the couch after she was sitting there watching Finding Nemo today. Usually she takes with her a select group like her dog, fish, and two duckies but today she included the Mickeys.

happy birthday mommy!

Today is my mommy's birthday. So daddy took me to a flower shop and I personally picked out which flowers daddy should buy for mommy. They were from Mitch and I and we also got her a card. I signed it! I think that I did a good job!

Here are the flowers, aren't they pretty?!

Here they are with the card.

Mommy gave me one flower out of the bunch, it smelled good!

I even let Mitch have a smell!

Happy Birthday Mommy!!! We all love you!
