back home now....

Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving! Ours was good and busy. Brady ate turkey for the first time in his life....we told him it was "chicken". After the fact we told him it was in fact turkey, he didn't seem to mind. :) We do about whatever we can to get this kid to eat something decent. On the way to all of our get togethers he kept saying he was going to ask if they had hotdogs to eat! One of my aunts did in fact give in and gave him hotdogs! Anyways...we are home from a quick trip to Minnesota to see my sister. Here are a few pics of my precious nephew and my neices. :) Aren't they cute?!


Brady loves being around his cousins...and Harper was more than entertained. :)

meet HANK.....

Here's the newest addition into our family... HANK. Isn't he so stinkin' cute? My sister Ashley and her soon to be husband just got him on saturday, he's a Puggle. Brady keeps saying "I sure wish we could get a puppy like that." Harper just kept grabbing his skin. (he's real stretchy.) Their daddy says no right now, but I have a feeling that when his baby girl is able to talk and ask for one maybe the answer will change?! That's what we're hoping anyways. :)

what she's doing now.....

Harper is sitting up on her own now! She still falls over sometimes, yet very gracefully. :) These pictures of her I love, cause they show her new expressions for the week. She has always sucked on her lower lip, but for some reason this week...she is doing it non-stop. Probably the last "outside" pictures we'll get of her until spring! It's so cold now! :)

Who's the parent?

For those of you that may think my child is shy....this is my everyday. We have some real silly conversations when we hang out at home in our "jammies". He is quite the character....such a fun good sense of humor he has and shares. I wonder where he gets that from? He may seem shy and mysterious....until you get to know him. Is that me or Lance or BOTH? Ha Ha. :)

7 months old today!

Harper is now 7 months old. WOW. Time is going way too fast! She's trying to figure out how to crawl, and she almost has it! Although we are not too anxious for the crawling stage...if you know Harper you'll know why we say that. She has to get her hands on EVERYTHING somehow and she's a curious lil' thing. She is going to tear our house apart, go thru every single drawer, empty things, etc. Just wait. The funny thing is she doesn't even really sit up yet on her own....but she doesn't want to! She doesn't want to waste time sitting...could it be she has her aunt Holly in her? Busy busy busy. I'm in trouble. :) She'll keep us moving! How precious she is. Daddy is so in love with his baby girl! :)

Mr. I don't take naps anymore...

So Brady this month has decided that he doesn't need naps anymore....so we do "quiet time" now. I choose not to push the naps, yet I find him frequently still falling asleep in "surprise" places....the other day he fell asleep sitting up! He was talking to me non-stop about something, then the next thing he was very quiet...when I looked at him he had fallen asleep sitting in a chair talking to me! Tonight he was on the couch about supper time. So Mr. I don't take naps anymore is one that still really needs them! :)
