Maggie 7 1/2 months

 I just had Maggie's pictures taken at 7 1/2 months by Sierra Rose Photography. I am in LOVE with them! I couldn't even decide which to put on, so here is a large sampling.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was excited for these because I knew she was happy, but they turned out even better than I was hoping!

Family Pictures

  My whole family got together for family pictures last week for the first time in like 15 years. I think they turned out pretty cute. It was hard with so many kids, but I am so happy we have these.

 

 

 

 

Sunday Afternoon

 Our Christmas tree is up and I wanted a cute picture of both kids in front of it. I didn't think that was too much to ask. This is what I ended up with. I guess with two kids I have to be a little more flexible on my definition of cute. It no longer means everyone positioned perfect, looking at the camera, and smiling, all at the same time.

 

 

 

 

So Tired

 I had to make cupcakes for Young Women in Excellence and now that Corbin doesn't nap, it is much more difficult to accomplish tasks such as this one. I decided the best way to keep him out of my cupcakes was to give him one. I let him eat one cupcake and then I told him I had special paint. He painted so good. When I was completely finished frosting my cupcakes I let him in on a secret that the frosting tasted really yummy. He looked at me then licked the very tip of his finger. 

 

 He was so excited. I looked over a few minutes later and he was falling asleep in his chair with his fingers in his mouth. He was so tired! He would nod off and then wake himself up. I asked him if he wanted to get down, but he didn't because he still had more frosting left to eat!

SNOW

Maggie loved her first time out in the snow! Even if it was only for a few minutes.

"It's a whole family of supers!"

 Happy Halloween!

This year we decided to dress as a whole family since it was easy to do when Corbin wanted to be Dash. So, we ended up being a whole family of supers, The Incredibles!

  Mr. Incredible, Elasti-girl, Jack Jack, and Dash (Violet is invisible.)

My favorite little super heroes.

Corbin loved Halloween this year. He didn't see anything too scary, so it was just fun. We went out to Plain City to do some trick-or-treating. We only went to five houses and it was plenty. Corbin had fun, got candy and hung out with his cousins. Halloween is much more fun with kids.

Carving Pumpkins

 This year was the first time Matt and I have ever carved pumpkins together and Corbin's first time. Corb wouldn't even touch the guts, he hated them. He used a spoon for a second and then just watched.

  He was set on having his own knife, so he had a plastic knife and he wouldn't cut right after Matt. He spent most of the time coloring his own pumpkin he picked from Grandpa's garden.
