Good morning!

Good morning!!!

Its begining to look like Christmas!

Yea! Its one of my favorite days of the year! The Sunday after Thanksgiving we start our decorating! Tiffany was making some sugar cookies!

She loves using cookie cutters and sprinkles! But what kid doesn't?!

Kobe was hanging out while Dad cooked!

Uh-oh he looks like he is up to something!

Every year we have the kids pick out one ornament. Tiffany really wanted a Rapunzel one and we couldn't find one. Last night Dad found one and surprised Tiffany!

Decorating the tree :)

Kobe got a little tired from all the hard work!

The finished tree!

Tiff and her Daddy :)

She wanted to give him a kiss too!

Sitting and looking at the tree eating one of her sugar cookies!

Look who it is!! Pinocchio!! He's baaaaaack!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! This year we went over to Eric and Jenn's. I didn't get very many pictures :(

They are enjoying watching the game on tv!

Mamaw and baby Kate :)

And of course it wouldn't be a holiday with out a family picture!!

Art

Tiffany has decided that she wants to put her art work on the wall. We have a picture she made on the computer, a painting from school, a spider she made in school and a Easter egg she made last year in pre-school! Silly kid!

Spaghetti Time!

Blake is trying spaghetti for the first time!

He is not quite sure yet...



Hey Mikey...He likes it!!

And he likes to make a mess with it too!

Time to get cleaned up from the mess!

This kid loves the water!

Soccer!

Today Tiffany had another soccer game!

Blake wasn't excited about watching the game in his car!

Good stop Tiff!

Run kids!

Tiff and Blake :)

Homework time

This morning I was helping Tiffany with her homework and on her homework it said to write two sentences about Thanksgiving. I was trying to give her some ideas so I said how about you write "I eat turkey" She said "no way mom that is weak! That is a weak sentence and Mr. Mendoza does not like weak sentences!" It was too funny! She ended up writing "On Thanksgiving I like to eat apples." At least we know she is learning something in school!!

Our Monkey

Oh dear...Blake is really a little monkey. He has figured out how to get out of his play area!! He pulls down the gate and climbs on top of it! 

He is so proud! And Mom and Dad are so sad lol This is trouble!!

Blake's first hair cut

It is time. Time for our little man to get his first hair cut. It is growing too long and he really needs it. So we put him in the bumbo...put on Curious George and gave him a sucker!

My friend Stephanie came over to cut it. At first he didn't mind it one bit! Then he became just a little bit difficult!

But she managed to get it done!

The finished product!! Isn't he cute?!

And today he happens to be 11 months old!!! He is growing too fast!!

Modeling his new hair cut :)

Game time!

Tiffany really loves playing soccer!! She is really good too! Look at that kick!

Dishes!

Tiffany has decided that she likes to help doing dishes. I'm glad she wants to help but it does take a wee bit longer :)

Homework

Tiffany has been really good at getting her homework done right after school. Today it said write two sentences about your family. I had to take a picture of her sentences. "I love my mom and dad. My brother is funny and spits." I thought it was super funny!

Tiffany's 1st field trip

Today Tiffany went on her first school field trip. She has been really excited to go and ride the bus for the first time. I was able to go as a volunteer :)

The field trip was to superstition farms. Its a dairy farm. When we first got there the kids all sat down to eat their sack lunches.

Then the kids all got to pick a flavor to go in their fresh milk. Tiffany chose...plain. Shocker!

Then they got to play on some big barrels of hay. That is Tiffany's friend Ellie.

Jumping off the hay!

Time for a hay ride to see all the cows!

There were a lot of cows!!!

Then they learned about some animals and got to brush them.

She was a little nervous to pet the sheep!

Petting the cute bunny

And last we got to listen to the history of the farm. It was a fun field trip and I'm glad I was able to go too!
