This is our finished tree.

The ornament that I chose from Grandma Floyds collection.

Decorating the tree together

Cody liked to put the things away that I got out

So happy

Mom's turn to help

Cody must not have liked the song that was playing cause he kept changing the station.

Thanksgiving 09. After a big wonderful dinner made by mom we sat and watched UP. What a cute movie.Dave trying to help Cody eat popcorn.

So much fun!
The boys love being outside and Cody loved it when Jake would throw leaves on him.
Happy little boy.

Happy little boy, I love his smile.

House remodeling

This is the latest house project. We took out the old carpet that was on top of the 60's booger green marble, then took out the marble. Then we decided that we were going to take out the current entry way closet and eventually put in a new smaller one to make the space seem bigger. Then we are laying the new tile and hopefully getting a hall tree until we can afford to put in the new closet. I love remodeling but hate that it costs money.

Jake helping me pull up the ugly marble.
Beautiful!
Now even that looks better.
Dave having fun
Jake asked if dad was in trouble for putting a hole in the wall. It was so funny.Now he's enjoying it!


I also had a problem where I was taking nails out of 2x4's and the board fell and cut my leg, don't worry no stitches.

I'll keep you updated with pictures to show the end result.

Halloween

Pictures at Gardeners Village with the pumpkins.
Jake loves getting a ride on the pony, probably better than seeing the witches.

The boys and their nana.

Couldn't resist taking a picture on the wagon, not really sure if you were supposed to but I did anyway.

These are from our very own garden, Jake was so excited to carve them.
This is what Cody wanted to do instead of help carve pumpkins. Anytime I can't find Cody this is usually where he is. He wants to be just like his big brother. The only problem is he gets on the bed then can't figure out how to get off so he just screams until someone comes and gets him.

Jake loved scooping the seeds out.

Trunk or Treat at Grandma and Grandpa Whittakers
So cute!My little frog!


Cody was a mouse and Jake was a frog for Halloween.

Mom and Cody on Halloween night!

They got a ton of candy and of course I'll be eating most of it and gaining a ton of weight, oh the sacrifices we make for our kids!
