JR & JP's 3rd Birthday Party
We had such a great time celebrating the boys' birthday! We had a "construction" theme. It worked out perfectly since we have a back yard full of dirt.
Everyone (especially Mom) had a great time!

November 2012
Our little Lady Bug turned 1 year old! We did a Ladybug theme party (of course) and had a few friends over for cake. Xanthie didnt really get that the party was for her, but once JR showed her how to eat her cake (with her hands), she got that the cake was for her.
We were so happy that Grandma and Grandpa Pugner were willing and able to make the 2 day drive from Missouri to Reno this month. It is so nice that they can do that, since it is pretty hard for us to get out there.
We did a lot of playing, showing off new birthday presents, and just general wearing out of the grandparents. All 3 kids had colds, and they are so good at sharing. :) Everyone at our house had the sniffles by the end of our visit. We are hoping that next visit will be germ free!!
No matter how this last picture looks, the kids LOVED having Grandma and Grandpa here. It was just bedtime at the moment...and JR was ready!!
James had a birthday this month also. Old Man. We all went out for his and Grandma Betty's birthday dinner at the Black Bear Diner. We love this restaurant! Not only are the food and prices good, but it is a very kid friendly place. the last 2 times we have gone there, we have sat in the back of the restaurant, alone, where our kids can run around and not bother anyone.
I guess we didn't take any pictures of James opening presents for his birthday. Just the Birthday dinner (above). Sorry sweetie! But at least I made him some yummy creme brulee for his birthday "cake". We will remember that without pictures :)
Thanksgiving was nice also. We drove to Sacramento to be with the Wohlford side of the family. Always a good spread! I see now that we only took a few pictures here also. I have got to get better at taking pictures...until we can afford to have a photographer on retainer.
Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy Birthday to JR and JP! The Boys turned 2 years old! They have really been in to Tractors lately, so we did a tractor theme party for them. They loved it! I made a tractor cake and we got them a ride-on toy tractor...to match the toy we already have. Now they can ride side by side...and not fight over who gets to ride first.
We also got to go to Upland for Great Grandma Thomas's 90th Birthday celebration. It had to be a very short weekend, since James had to work Friday and Monday, but it was totally worth it! We drove down on Friday and made it in great time. The kids all did really well for the 9 hour adventure. Saturday we got to relax a little bit and then got ready for Grandma's party.
The party was great. There were so many family members and friends who I haven't seen in quite some time. It was nice to see everyone. I know Grandma was touched.
After Grandma's party, we did a little "cousins" party for all 3 kids, since their birthdays were so close and we dont have family in Reno. It was a bit chaotic, but so fun to be able to share a party with the cousins.
We had to leave right after church on Sunday for our long drive back to Reno. We were able to stop by Uncle JR's new house and see it since we hadn't seen it since he bought it. It is such a great house for them!
For Halloween, we dressed up as dominoes...as a family. We feel pretty lucky that our kids are still young and don't know about Trick or Treating yet. We took them to James' work Halloween party, and the the ward Trunk or Treat and called it good. There will be plenty of years to go out on Halloween night. We chose to stay in and carve a pumpkin. The boys had fun watching daddy carve, and handing out candy to the trick or treaters that we got.

| JR was playing on the front porch with Grandpa on Saturday morning. They came running in the house and Grandpa was saying "lets go show Grandma". They went in to Grandma's room and woke her up from her nap to show her the goldfish that JR "caught" from the fountain. (It might have already been dead and floating) JR was so proud of his catch, it was hard to get it out of his hands. |
