just posted some more new old pictures. Sam is so dang cute these days i just can't stand it:) I caught him sleeping with his hand down his diaper and thought it was just so funny. He also snuck ito the bath with Addi right after I got him all dressed, and in the last picture he is saying "cheese". whenever i take his picture he acts like he is holding a camara to his face and repeats, "cheese!". Addi is holding a book from her Nana. She loves them by the way, and is soooo into stories. I can hardly read one sentece without her asking me questions about the story. She is understand a lot right now too. We had a big Jesus/God/death talk yesterday and she had so many questions. I am so sensitive to how she hears about these things, becuase it seems like the things that are put into our heads at a young age stick with us our whole life. A few weeks ago during dinner, addi asked me to tell her the story of when i walked away from God. Which was funny, becuase i don't think i have ever told her a story about that. But before i could say anything, she said, "silly mommy, you can't walk away from God. if you try to, he will just say (to the tune of na na na na boo boo) 'ha ha ha ha ha, you can't get away, i'm in your heart, ha ha ha ha ha'. i guess she was right, i love hearing how she understand things these days.

sam is still batteling illness. although his wheezing is under control, he seems to have gotten everything else. he had a fever for 3 days (that is gone now), and then a little vomiting, and his head is still totally congested. all he wants me to do is wrap him up in his blankies. he seems to be improving now, i think we are through the worst. i would feel better if got a better appetite, becuase his toddler pickiness seems to be in full swing now.

well, we got our first snow on december 1st. addi immediatly wanted to go outside and eat it, which is all she ever did with the snow in alaska. hopefully it will stick around.

until next time.....

fall catch up

So here are a few more pictures...I am going to try to play catch up on some stuff from fall, and hopefully things updated from here on out. More to come soon. I tried to get a video uploaded, but either me or or my computer isn't capable of it. I'll try again soon.....

Trick or Treating

Sam was Peter Pan for Halloween (homemade outfit obviously:). His cousin Blaine was Batman. Halloween was a blast here. It warmed up enough that the kids didn't have to wear their jackets. Addi was planning on being Tinkerbell all month. However, the day of the ig dress up we had panty trouble. She refused to wear underwear and I refused to let her go trick or treating. However, she really has never gone trick or treating before. So after an hour delay, she finally put on some bloomers with her black Christmas dress, and said, "It's okay, Tinkerbell can wear a black dress..." So we were off, and it was quite the event. The streets were literally packed with kids and all the houses were in business for the night. One house even had a haunted house set up on the sidewalk. After only hitting about 1/4 of the houses, Addi asked if she could be all done...and so we were. Jeremy and I dressed up as Juno and Blinker ...Bleaker? Bleeder?) Jeremy's a hot blonde.
