Thanksgiving

This year we headed to Greeley for Thanksgiving. My sister made an amazing Thanksgiving dinner and we had a blast hanging out with her family and seeing a bunch of our friends. Ethan loved hanging out with John and Isaiah. He thought he was pretty cool hanging out with the "big" boys. He also got to play with his "future wife" Macy. We also got to meet Macy's new sister Kara who was born in October.

We decided to brave the Black Friday crowd and see if we could get some great deals. We woke up at 3:30ish and were in the fan by 4. We got a couple of good deals, but I'm not sure it was worth it. We were all exhausted by the end of the day. We had a great Thanksgiving and are looking forward to Christmas!

More Family Pictures

(





I was going to wait until I sent out Christmas Cards to reveal the rest of our family pictures, but I decided I'd just go ahead and put them on here. Mainly because Jared is bugging me about not posting in a while and this is quick and easy :o)

We have to re-do the pictures of just Jared and I. The first few look kind of goofy because Jared was leaning back and the others would have been great...if he would have benn looking at the camera! His excuse for not looking at the camera..."I thought I saw a deer. But it was just a bush." AHHHHHH. Oh well jokes on him, now he gets to do pictures again.

Scootin' and Teethin'

Jacoby now has 2 teeth! He's been a little cranky and his nose is constantly running. Ethan was never very grumpy so this has been a challenge. He wakes up in the middle of the night crying and won't eat because his mouth hurts. A crying baby is no fun, but it's even worse at 3 AM! I can't get great pictures of them but you can at least see 1 of them in this picture. It kind of looks like it's right in the dead center of his mouth, but I promise it isn't. (Please excuse the messy face.)


He has been trying his hardest to crawl! He spins on his belly like a pro. But no matter what he can't go forward. Last week he started in the middle of the living room and scooted backwards all the way into the Dining Room and under the table. Then he got stuck. Ethan, being the great big brother he is, decided to grab his feet and try to drag him out....that didn't end well. Here he is before Ethan "rescued" him.

Family Pix!

As you can see we have a new family picture! Amy and I did our annual Family Pix Swap last week and this is my new favorite family picture. More to come...stay tuned.

Thanks Amy!

Halloween!

We had an awesome Halloween! I always enjoyed Halloween and now that have kids to dress up it's even more fun! This year Ethan was a Dinosaur and Jacoby was a Monkey! We spent the day going to the Pumpkin Patch, then we went Trunk or Treating with some friends and then went back home and had an awesome Halloween Party! We had a blast with all of our friends. Costumes, food, and friends...it doesn't get much better than that!

Gutting Pumpkins!

Last night Ethan and I gutted our pumpkins. We were going to carve them but....we didn't :) SO here are a few pictures of us. We will post our finished products tomorrow.

6 almost 7 months

I can't believe Jacoby is almost 7 months old. WOW time flies. He is now sitting on his own, sleeping in his crib, and as of this morning he has his first tooth! I wish I could say he is consistently sleeping through the night but truth is he isn't :) Last night he slept from 10 until 7 this morning but I'm not expecting that tonight. Just when I say he's sleeping through the night he will change it up I'm sure so we are just taking it one night at a time.

I finally got around to doing his 6 month pix and here they are. I want to thank my amazing friend "Martha" for helping me out. She let me borrow her awesome yellow wall, her lens, and she is an amazing bubble blower :) Thanks friend!
