first snow fall...

We love SNOW around here... we got so excited for snow we couldn't take time to find our real snow outfits. Bode's first real play in the snow. He was too little last year, but this year he thought it was pretty fun. Yeah for snow!

Fall photo's...

We took a ton of pictures by this old truck one day before the snow. Cute kids, but I couldn't get one of them together. No way is Bode going to pose for me.

I like curious, curious George...

We love Curious George! We get to watch it daily at our house. It is usually what Rylie picks. We DVR'd a bunch of them and use them often. Grandpa Beak called us late one night and said that Curious George was a the Library in Preston. We talked Mike into it and took off. We were able to get a new books, treats and pictures with George. Rylie was pretty excited. Thanks for thinking of us, Grandpa Beak. We love Curious, Curious George!!

Are you ready????

I love the way Rylie says Christmas in this video. WE are so ready!!! Don't get me wrong I like Thanksgiving alot, the food, the family, contemplating about what we are THANKFUL for. I really do enjoy it. But then there is CHRISTMAS and I love it. I love to be pratically done shopping by December 1st, so I can enjoy the holidays! Rylie and I go around singing Christmas songs until Mike comes home and then it is sush about Christmas. Mike FREAKS out about Christmas before THanksgiving, We cannot talk about it until then. Well that is really hard for me, so he usually gets an ear full nightly!! I tried to record Rylie singing about Christmas, here you go.

leaves, leaves and leaves...

We are lucky enough to have a ton of full grown trees in our yard. I love the shade they provide, but most of all I love playing in them. I reminds me of helping this elderly lady that lived by us growing up, she had huge trees and we got to rake them up for her ever year. I loved making great big piles and jumping in them. Nothing better!! I won't let Mike haul any off until after our preschool. We are doing the letter L and leaves will be a big hit. We have such a huge pile in the backyard and have turned it out into a leaf house. Bode just falls into them and can't get out. Well enjoy the next few days before it SNOWS. And Mike would love some help raking and hauling off leaves if anyone is interested??

Oh Rylie...

Here is the latest funny remarks from Rylie...

I pulled the "mom's have eyes in the back of their head" card on Rylie the other day. I could hear what she was doing and called her on it. She was like how did you know what I was doing mom and I said that mom's have eyes in the back of their heads so they can watch their kids all time. Later that week she said to me when I was doing her hair. Mom are my eyes growing in the back of my head yet? not quite, but when you are mom you too will have eyes in the back of your head.

this was a few weeks ago when there was snow in the mountains. Rylie said that was the north pole (the snow in the mountains) and that is where Santa lives. I was trying to get her to eat her breakfast so I said what do you think Santa is eating for Breakfast? She replies "cottage cheese".... What???
