More snow!!!

We finally got A LOT of snow! This year we've gotten a few flurries here and there, but this is the first really big snow we've gotten. The bad thing is, it was so windy you couldn't stay out in it.
I thought it would be a great time to get some good snow pictures of Lars, but he thought it was a little mean of me to just sit him in the snow by himself. He didn't quite get the concept of snow angel yet:) He did have fun playing afterwards with Avery and Reagan!

Snow Days

We have really been enjoying the snow this week! We had a snow party on Tuesday. All Lars' friends came over to play, drink hot chocolate and have chicken noodle soup. Unfortunately, Lars has a runny nose so he hasn't actually gotten to go out and play in the snow, but he has enjoyed watching his friends playing in it and banging on the window:):). Avery and Maryn look so cute all bundled up in their snowsuits!
This week he was introduced to the tupperware cabinet. As you can see he enjoyed very much taking everything out and spreading it all over the kitchen.

Reagan was helping Julie shovel the ice off the driveway yesterday. You can see the large piece of ice she removed:). Yesterday, for the first time, Lars crawled across the living room and pulled himself up to stand in front of the couch! He was so proud, he decided to use the couch as a drum set in true "Lars" fashion:)

Last, but not least, this is our favorite dog to watch in the neighborhood. His owner is a large man and he always looks so cute in his matching jacket:):)

School or Britax Ad?

Last week Julie and I traded babysitting. It was very adventurous! This is a picture of all the kids in the back seat of the truck. We went to pick up Reagan at preschool and stopped at the McDonald's drive thru on the way home for a milkshake:)! We didn't dare get out of the car. I don't know how people have 3 kids and go anywhere!!
I'm considering sending this picture to Britax (the carseat manufacturer) so they can use it in an ad. Who has 3 different Britax carseats:)?

Halloween!!

Kids in costumes!! Can they get any cuter? The pictures above are from Trick or Treating last night. We had lots of fun passing out candy. Our neighborhood has lots of kids, so we got to see everything from Minnie Mouse to Yoda! Don't Karl and Brent look cute with the cutest kids in the neighborhood, Lars, Avery, and Reagan?!

We had a Halloween Luncheon at our house earlier in the day. It was totally mass chaos, but it was worth it! We had 11 moms and 15 kids running around all dressed up. Thank you to all the moms who brought food and helped with food once you got here! I couldn't have done it with out you!!
All of Lars' little friends (above on the couch) are boys, but you can see in the pictures below he is quite the Ladies Man!! He doesn't care if they are older, he just flirts with all the girls:)!

October Fun!

We had so much fun today at Layng's farm. We joined several friends for a hayride, big slides, pumpkins, moon bounce and potbelly pigs:). All the kids had so much fun and the moms did too!!

Things I put up with...

Babies really have it rough! They have to be dress up dolls for the parents to get a few laughs:)! We were cleaning out our closet this morning and I found these bear slippers. I purchased them while I was working at GAP (a couple years ago). They were a little tight, but we had to get a couple pictures of our little bear!
The picture below was taken with my phone of Lars and the ladies:)!!! Reagan and Avery came over for a little while to hang out and we couldn't resist the photo opt!!

Avery turns 1!

Many of you know our great neighbors Brent and Julie and their two girls, Reagan and Avery. Avery had her first birthday party today! This was her first time having cake, but as you can see it didn't take her long to realize that chocolate icing is a wonderful thing:)!!
I just love this picture of Avery in her new chair!

Uncle Trey took his turn holding our sweet Lars:)! Don't they look cute together!
It's hard to believe it's been a year already! Besides being super excited for Brent and Julie, we found out we were pregnant with Lars the week Avery was born.
