Tagged by Stephanie

Okay, on Stephanie's blog, she'd been tagged so that she had to open the 4th folder in her pictures and post the 4th picture in that folder. (I think). Anyway, she turned around and tagged me for the same thing. I had to put pictures 3 & 4 because they go together.

Two years ago I made gingerbread houses for the kids at Halloween. After all the candy had been eaten, I threw the houses away. I found Braden, who was 10 months old at the time, chowing down on the leftovers that he dug out of the trash. What can I say? He didn't want anything to go to waste.

Playing Catch Up - Again

Here's a little of what we've been doing:

1. Pumpkin Patch (scary pictures though)

Typical dress-up and snacks

Annual Costume Party

One of the Ortho doc's had a b-day party that was themed "The 80's". Chris and I went as heavy metal rockers and I won best dressed for the girls. Most likely because it is so out of character for me. (I shocked most of the staff!)


Braden started singing/rapping to the Flobots "Handlebars" while we were out to dinner one night and the woman at the table next to us paid him a $1, so now where ever we are he'll start singing with the hopes of getting paid.

Here's a bad clip of him singing. He's trying to sing while the kids are making faces at him.

Braden's Favorite Colors

Apparently, they're black and blue. Keeley was watching the kids for me while I was in Brody's class yesterday and he fell down her stairs and said 'hello' to the bench at the bottom. Poor Keeley. She felt so bad, and Braden doesn't take pain or embarrassment very well and was telling her what to do with her ice pack and candy by the time I got there.

FYI: The only time he'll let me take his picture is while he's eating...that's why his mouth is full in both pictures. The first is from yesterday, the second from this morning.

Keeley Kay Photography

So...one of my dearest friends Keeley Olson is a photographer (keeleykay.com). She snagged my girls one day and went out with her daughter and took these awesome pictures! It's a catch 22 though because as cute as they are, they look WAY too old.
