THANKSGIVING 2008

There are no words, just thankful.

Grampie and Uncle Jim.
Evrett popped in at the last second; so cute!!

DREAMS REALLY DO COME TRUE

Golly, you would think it was our first time at Dland considering how many pictures I take. I mean, the sheer volume of them!! In all actuality though, it was our one-millionth visit there. We had fun though, and it wasn't super crowded like we expected it to be. Thank you for looking and HAPPY THANKSGIBING (not a misspelling, I just like to say it like that) to one and all. I like you lots.

BLIND BUT NOW I SEE

Alright, maybe not blind but there is astigmatism going on. Not sure what that means but I am sure that he is totally adorable in his super cool glasses. I have to admit I was a bit giddy when I found out he was going to need glasses; is that so wrong? What mom doesn't want her child to wear glasses? Especially when they are as cool and studious looking as Jaydie's. He was very excited to get them and kept saying "I just can't wait to get my glasses." I know you all are going to take your kids in for an eye exam now. You can always hold on to hope that they too will have an eye problem.

PARK PEEPS

Jaydie got to see his good buddy from Kindergarden.




A possible match for marriage perhaps. You have to arrange these things early in life.

I hurt my toe on Sunday. What happened was Yenner was throwing a fit on the floor so, in order to avoid him, I went around him and kicked the elliptical machine. It hurt like h-e double toothpicks (I can't say the word cause my mom reads this blog) and I cried like a baby. Now I see the pain all you women experienced in childbirth; same thing right? I really thought I broke it but it turns out I'm just a big baby and a tad over-dramatic. Just call me grace!!

P.S. I realize that I need a pedicure and that my toes are freakishly long. Thanks

WHICH IS BEST?

I told you that Jaydie has been changing up his smile so here are just a few options for you. Work it, Jaydie, work it!!

CUTE COUSIN CONNOR

This is our cute cousin Connor (aka triple C) and he is almost a year old. My three dudes can't wait to train him in the ways of the force (and the ways of just being completely psycho) but for now they are happy to put all their toys in his lap and their stuffed animals on his head.

FALL FUN

So here we've got Obi Wan, Buzz, and Woody. My cousin gave me the hook-up on the sweet Woody costume, and our friends gave us the Obi Wan costume, and the Buzz costume was 2 bucks on clearance. A cheap but fun Halloween.

THE PUMPKIN GOSPEL

In order to try and spiritualize halloween Rob carves a pumpkin and reads this little book, The Pumpkin Gospel. The kids get really into it. They even plug their noses when Rob scoops out the mushy gushies like God cleans out our sin (that's an actual line from the book). This year it was fun to have our Gardners over for the carving ceremonies. Anyhow, you should go and get the book. No doubt it's half price now; you gotta think ahead people!!

Okay, so maybe this part isn't so spiritual. We carved the pumpkin into a dragon. Aren't dragons biblical?
