95 th percentile and Happy Halloween

That is what Wyatt is in for height. Goodness gracious! Gonna have to start calling him Jolly Green Giant or something. He weighed in just over 18 lbs and is 28 1/4".


Cordelia choose to be a cowgirl this Halloween. I think it is her best costume yet. She looks adorable!



The monster who was attacking me while taking Cordelia's pictures.


At her school. They had a costume parade and a little party afterwards.




Hopefully I remember to take pictures tonight when her BFF Maggie comes over to go trick-or-treating.


Happy Halloween everyone! May it be fun and safe.

MMMMmmmm good

I caved and gave Wyatt a teething biscuit.









I kept eying the box at the store and it said not to give it to a baby until they were 9 months old. I just couldn't stand by and not give it to him. He needed to something to gnaw on that tasted like something. Boy did he dig into it. I also started cereal and have ventured into the land of fruits. He really isn't liking the fruits too much even when I mix them with cereal. He is a gagger. Hasn't thrown up yet, but it sure looks like it could be any moment. So it looks like it will be just plain cereal for awhile longer. Next week is his 6 month check up.He is crawling army man style. Oh so cute. Getting pretty fast at it too.
I have officially moved him into 12 month clothing. He is just growing to fast. I can't keep clothes on him. Thankfully I have been blessed with giving friends. I have clothing up to 18 months and then I am on my own after that unless I get another set of hand-me downs. Anyone have clothes???? lol







We went to Cordelia's parent -- teacher conference. Nothing but good things from the teacher. Cordelia is top of her class in pretty much everything. She is the only one that is in level 2 reading. YEAH!!! Ed and I are so excited we are busting at the seams with excitement and happiness.

Off to bed I go!

Hello

Life is good. No pictures to share yet. Life is busy. Seasons are changing. Holidays are coming upon us quickly. Ugh. Got my first email from black Friday website. Nothing to exciting posted. Hopefully they have some awesome deals this year. My guess is they will.

Cordelia's school closed Thursday due to many kids out with flu-like symptoms. The school will be thoroughly washed and it will reopen on Monday. Then she has another 3 day week. We will have our first parent teacher conference on Thursday.

Got Cordelia's Halloween costume all put together. She picked it out and I think it was a good choice. Decorations are out and lights are hung.

Wyatt is 11 days away from being 6 months old. Why oh why did it have to go so quickly??? I broke down and started giving him teething biscuits, he is in love with them! Now to decide which flavors of food to start him on.

Hey family! Can you tell me which movies you wished you owned. I'm thinking up something, and it would help a lot.

Hugs !!!

Life

Ed has been gone for 7 days. For 7 days I have been a single parent. Really it's not that hard. The only thing that has been hard is the truck brokedown. So Cordelia and I have to walk to school. It takes us a 1/2 hour to get there, then I walk back home. I get home in 1/2 hour and then head back out to pick her up, then we head home. That is 2 hours of walking for me and it kicked my butt yesterday. I was ready to crash way to early last night. Geesh, guess I am out of shape. Hopefully the weather is nice today.

I miss him dearly. I know the kids miss him. He returns tomorrow late at night. He is in Utah doing a job. Yeah, good hours!!

Next week Ed and I celebrate our 12 year anniversary. They went by quickly! I am greatful to have those joyus 12 years. Couldn't be better. Love ya Babe!

I finished a layout this week. So excited. It is Wyatt's first layout.

I think I am gonna be cleaning up my table and area. It has become a catch all place.

Did a quick photo shoot this morning.

I love the Elvis lip.

Have a wonderful weekend!

The hills of gold , I SPY and pictures- oh so many pictures

We have been going out for day trips these past weekends. This is our first weekend break in oh about a month. It's well deserved. The trips were so worth it. Family time, Mother Nature at it's best, picnics, squattin in the woods, seeing - sheep, Elk, Cows galore, chipmunks galore.

I actually took my camera on last weekends trip, battery died 1/4 way through the day :( So I didn't get to take as many pictures as wanted.

See if you can spy how many pictures have cows.






We came upon this grove of Aspens and found a HUGE herd of cows. I demanded...lol....Ed to stop. The cows were talking to us. I was getting a bit nervous. Mooing and movement kind of scared me some had horns. They really didn't feel so friendly. As the picture set goes on you will see more cows turning their heads to us.




These next 3 are my all time favorite pictures from this trip.






We kept getting haze.





Poising yet again for the camera. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of Wyatt.


Now I need to snag Ed's pictures from Maroon Bells and post them.

Off to La-la land. Nite, nite

From a kids perspective

I transferred Cordelia's pictures from her camera onto the computer. I love seeing what she has captured on it.
Here are some of them. I am sure she would love for you to leave a comment for her.

We went for a scenic drive this last weekend. The aspens are starting to turn. I don't think I have seen some many aspens in my life. Some of the groves we found were HUGE! I will post some of the pictures that Eddie took at a later time.

Life is busy. Time is short. Hopefully we get the stuff needed done.

The kiddos are good. Cordelia's teacher told me she will be testing her in a couple of weeks and that Cordelia is the top of her class in reading. Eddie heard that and said maybe she can get a scholarship into Yale or somewhere alike. BIG dreams we have for her. Hopefully we can guide her into the best choices.

Wyatt is ever growing. I have officially moved him into the size 6-12 months. His front top tooth is peeking through. Should be popping out of his gum anytime. He is still eating often. Some nights are better than others. Cordelia had him giggling so hard and for so long today that he got the hiccups. I love it!!

Well, bedtime is a coming.

Toodles!

My BIG girl

can READ! Well lets just say she read her 1st book to Ed and I last night. I was so excited!! I am still excited!!! She hasn't even been in school for a month yet.

YAHOO!!!

• Some other 1st
• can do whole length of the monkey bars
• hang upside down in the jungle gym
• swing all by herself

Yeah, you could say I am a proud Momma.

Pictures and more pictures and a little truth be told

Here are some random pictures that are recent. Hope you enjoy them!









Life has been a hectic here. Still trying to manage some free time to scrapbook when Cordelia is at school, but that just isn't happening. Hopefully I figure it out.

Wyatt's 4 month check up went great. He was 16 lbs and 8 oz. Huge in other words. 90th percentile in everything. I have had to buy 6-9 month clothes for him! I am guessing he won't last long in this size either. He is rolling over frontwards and backwards. His top teeth are working there way in and making him a bit cranky. He is a non-stop talker.

Cordelia, my Cordelia. She is loving school, everything thing to do with school. She is a great helper. She loves to play with her brother.

Eddie is excited about going out and taking pictures of the Aspen's this fall. I am hoping to tag along on at least one excursion which might not happen since Cordelia is in school now.

Here is a slide show of some more pictures

I hate to disappoint you all. The photos of Wyatt from previous post is not photoshopped at all. The hair is real and so are the earrings. The earrings left no holes. They are hoops with an opening. :) So glad you played along with us!!! :)

Hugs to all!
