Gobble Gobble

We had a great Thanksgiving. We spent it down in Georgetown and got to spend it with lots of family and friends. Here are a couple of pictures from the day.

Tis the Season

And the tree is up and the little elfs are decorating.

Playoff Bound!!!!

Just kidding about the playoff bound, there is no playoffs in blastball :) Cooper had his last game earlier this month. This was a rough season. Cooper started off doing so well and then half way through he decided that he just did not want to play anymore. It was very frustrating. He would just sit in the dougout. But then thank goodness for his last game the ballplayer came back to life and he had one of the best games he has ever played. We did not have an end of season party this time because of the holidays so we presented trophies and had our snacks. here are some pics

trick or treat

We had a fun Halloween night. The kids got all dressed up and were ready to go get as much candy as they could. Cooper wanted to be buzz lightyear this year so he was. Well at first he wanted to be MR Smee from captain hook. I bet you are wondering were they came from. Well Ryleigh was tinker bell for halloween so I wanted Cooper to be Captain Hook and he told me know because he is mean and that he wanted to be Mr Smee because he is nice. So I was on the hunt for his costume and then decided I was just going to have to make it. Well then a couple of days later he told me that he really wanted to be Buzz so that is what we did. Ryleigh hated her costume from the minute I put it on her she was trying to pull it off. Distraction was the only way we kept her dressed. This year we went to Boo on Ballard which is at downtown Wylie and we did our churches trunk or treat. The kids got more candy than I thought or hoped they would get. Then we came home and went to a couple of houses before it got to cold for Ryleigh to be out and to late. It was fun.

Pumpkin Carving

Here are some pictures of our adventure in pumpkin carving. Cooper did better this year about getting in there and digging out the yucky stuff as he calls it. Ryleigh wanted nothing to do with it until a little later in the process then she was kind of intrigued. The kids did a great job and then we went and put it on the front porch.

Ryleigh's 15 months

I should have posted this back in September when she had her 15 month appt but some how it got forgotten. So better late than never. Ryleigh checked out great at her appt. She weighed in at 20 lbs 14 oz which is the 20% and her height is 32.5 inches and is 97% and her head is 18.8 and is the 90%. She got a lot of shots that day and it took me and the nurse to hold her down. Ryleigh is a lot of fun at this age. Her personality is shining through. She can be so loving and want to cuddle with you while she holds your thumb while she sucks hers. One day I am going to miss that. She is also so very active. She climbs, jumps, runs, and tries to do everything her brother does. She can now climb on our bed and she has managed to teach herself how to get down and her latest trick is she can climb into her crib by climbing up the rocking chair and some how pulling herself into her crib. I have not seen it all happen with my eyes but one day I went into her room and there she was standing in her crib. Then a couple of days later I caught her in the act of standing on the arm of the chair. Time to move the chair. Her vocabulary is getting so good. She can ask for several things so now we dont have to guess. She no longer likes to give kisses which I miss. Hopefully that will change until then she just has to suffer with getting them. She is very attached to her daddy now. When he gets home for lunch or when he comes home for the day she will not let him put her down. She loves to cuddle up with him in the bed. She is starting to get a little bit picky of what she eats. She is still a great eater though. I think that sums her up for the time being. We just love having her as a part of our family.
