Thanksgiving

Kevin actually took pics and I was really excited to download them. However, I just found out that I maxed my free storage space for pictures...hmmm....don't know how to solve the problem, yet, but hopefully will get it figured out soon so you can enjoy more  photos.

Talking To Josiah

Josiah:  "Mom, What is that on the bird's nose?"
Me:  "I don't know what that is, Bud."
Josiah:  "I think it's his moustache."

Of course this bird is competing with Ruie for the chip crumbs on the ground, she would scare it away and go after the same crumb it was trying to it.  Got to love kids!

Titus' Birthday

 The morning was spent playing outside and enjoying the sunshine...

 ....and the mud

 Then we went to church to eat lunch with Dad and open presents.

 Titus got lots of things for his pockets: lego guy, cars (thanks, Grandma Kay & Papa Les), and his very own Sky Ball...one he doesn't have to share.

 Then we went to the park to play...

 and climb trees...can you spy the monkey?

 and ride bikes

 Of course we went to McD's for dinner (I forgot to take pics)

and ate cake.  However, Titus didn't even want to eat any.

He's getting over being sick, and though he was much better than the last couple of days, he was still pretty miserable.

Can't believe he is three!  He's getting so big and finally beginning to talk much more (although, he is still hard to understand).  Can't wait to see what this next year has in store for him!

Ice Cream Walk

 Yesterday was the 19th and on the 19th Primo Kitchen does a special on icecream.  So we went for a late night icecream walk.

 Upon our return, I stayed up late to get things ready for Titus' birthday.

Today

 Stayed home from church because he wasn't feeling well.

 He was grumpy because I said we couldn't go to church.

She'll be 4 months this week.  Getting big.  She loves just chillin and rolling around and always has her fingers or fist in her mouth!

Quick Catch Up on Life

 So, my birthday came and went already and I've been terrible at updating this blog.  Here are some photos from the fun we had at the park.  It was a beautiful spot.  We rode our bikes around and played on the playground, the slide and the bike trail.  Of course, I missed most of the action on film, because it was my birthday and I wanted to just enjoy.  

 Huge rolly slide

 Me and my girls!

 Kev's been gone and I've been organizing.  Seems like my house will never be in working order.  We have way too much junk.  I'm so ready to downsize =-)  Here the girls are helping to shred some unnecessary papers.

 I caved!  I bought a rice cooker and it's AWESOME!!  Why did I wait so long to join the Japanese culture and purchase one of these necessary appliances?  Bought it yesterday and we have had rice both nights. 

 Was blessed with a turkey....they don't fit too well in a Japanese freezer =-)  Can't wait to enjoy the yumminess come Thanksgiving.

 This is what happens when you're number 6.  I set her down to take care of numbers 4 and 5 who were being disobedient only to return to find her covered by number 5 and fallen asleep.  She fits right in with all the other clutter on the floor =-)

 Took the boys to get haircuts today  They all wanted spiky hair.  This is the final result. They even got lollipops for being so good.  My handsome men!  The place we took them to was called, "Goodboys" and I laughed every time I told them, "You're doing so well, you're being such a good boy!"  I guess the name fits the place.

 Sporting the hair at McDonalds. 

 I couldn't get anywhere without my Big helper Audrey.  She's my right hand girl!  LJ is becoming super helpful, too.  I'm blessed to have such good kids!

 Can't believe he's going to be 3 in two weeks!  He's growing so much!

 The guy had to work extra hard to get LJ's hair to stay up.  This may be the only day he has spiky hair.

 Josiah sporting his spikes!

 I've also did a craft these last few weeks.  Here our the stick horses I made from a tutorial I found online.  It was fairly easy.  We had a Medieval Knight with the youth and these were their noble steeds that they horse raced and jousted on.  It was awesome watching them gallop on these horses.

Hope you all have been doing well. I'll try to do better at taking pictures.  Especially since the holidays are coming up.
