Picture Overload!

So this is going to be just a quick rundown of the last while via pictures. I'll start with a truck show that we went to a couple of months back. Basically everyone who worked on or with trucks brought them out, and kids got to play in them and on them. Jackson had a blast, Rylie just wasn't in the mood.

 

 

 

 Love this picture! He looks so in charge!

 

 

 

Moving on we have pictures from a day in the park.  It was a beautiful day with a little breeze so for once the kids aren't looking sweaty and exhausted ;)

 

 

And finally, Halloween!! This includes pumpkin patch, face painting, carving and anything else

 

 

 

And finally, here are just some other random pics, hope we didn't burn you out too much :)

 

 Nice bow tie! Happy Fathers Day!

Daddy is the best!

 

 Cool bird houses

 

 Snuggling up with Paul and a good book

 

 

See you next time!



Things to remember...

I just wanted to post some of the funny little things that have happened recently that I don't want to forget.
-Recently Jackson has been saying his nightly prayers, and each night he seems to add something that makes me smile and have to hold in a laugh.Things such as, please help Santa Claus to remember how much I really really love the firefighter costume and chainsaw, please help my sister to learn to use the toilet someday, please help me to be a missionary when I grow up... and a superhero, please help me to be a giant soon like daddy, please bless my aunt that she won't forget her special flower, etc, etc. It makes me proud to see how thoughtful he is becoming.
-Rylie is a little outdoors girl.  I knew she liked to be outside, but when we visited Washington last, I saw how truly content she was to be digging in the dirt, putting it down her shirt and in her hair, happy to be barefoot.  She should have been a pioneer.
-Rylie is incredibly tough.  I have never seen a little girl who can get hurt as often and as bad and just grunt "I otay" and keep moving.  She can definately teach us all a thing or two.
-Jackson has the best imagination.  He is able to take anything and make a real life game out of it. "Lets pretend to sell food from this food cart (wheelbarrel) We'll sell hotdogs and drinks.  That will be 5 dollars please." Five dollars for a hotdog! This kid is going to be rich.  "Here is your axe Rylie, make sure you cut down the door so they can all get out. I'm going to cut down these trees." As they both proceed to madly bang on anything they can reach with their "axes".
-Jackson and Rylie don't always play the best together, but they sure can play chase... for hours... on and off all day.  It makes me laugh to hear their little feet wildly running on the tile, the occassional crash... "I otay, I otay" or "Jackson, uh oh, otay?" and the squeals of belly laughter. I like how Jackson always runs with Rylie, only getting ahead of her right at the end.  I like how Rylie always says "Ready?"
All right, enough for now. Since this was my first post in a long while I am just throwing in some random pics from our trip to Washington. Hopefully coming up soon will be some pics from Rylies birthday. She just turned 2!
