It's almost winter!

I am proud of myself for updating the blog more than once in a week!! :) Enjoy!!


Avary shares her toy with Kaydence...she really was having fun!!

Cheese!!

Tayson was concentrating pretty hard before the hands started going in the mouth!

Payton didn't feel like finger painting, neither did Claire....they have been into coloring

Adam's piece of work!

Stella reaches for more...I was trying to show her to spread the paint around that was already there...it was getting pretty thick! She was NOT happy when it was time to wash her hands....

Avary likes to make a mess :)

Usually Tayson starts eating first (must have been snack time here) and Stella just can't wait :) Tayson is always very generous to share with his friend :)

Avary and Stella coloring some Halloween sheets. Stella's outfit looks so cozy!!

Adam & Payton

Avary is concentrating pretty hard!

When Taja is around at meal time (which is next to never), her favorite place to sit is under the table!! I don't even need to sweep she's so good at cleaning up crumbs!!

Kaydence getting so big!

I am pretty sure Tayson even says "cheese" now!! Must get alot of practice at home!

Stella and Adam

Claire, Payton and Avary - Do you like the art work displayed across the kitchen? I just can't tell them no after they have worked so hard coloring & cutting!!

Avary and Stella watch Claire and Payton out on the deck

All of the kids were SOO excited for snow!!

Stella watches Payton and Claire make Mac & Cheese

Thanks for the help Claire!!

And Payton!! We made two different kinds because I didn't think everybody would like the texture of the halloween mac & chesse...just because I don't :) They all liked it just fine though!

Tayson was a big fan of sloppy jos and baked beans!!

Stella loves corn on the cob...too bad this was pretend :)

So cute!!

All of the kids love the walker!

Kaydence :) It seems not too long ago I was posting pics of Tayson & Stella almost crawling!!

Adam makes a beaded necklace for his mom. She even wore it to work the next day!! (so she says ;) )

Payton and Taja - Payton is really helpful with the dog. She can usually catch him and lock him up when it's meal time or pick up time!

Everyday that Claire takes a nap is a good day for me!!!

We've been being careful about keeping toys clean lately....Adam helped me clean all of the toys that couldn't be washed in the washing machine or tub!! Thanks Adam!

Everybody excited to watch the first snow fall of the year!

Tayson sneaks away from the kitchen with a handful of crayons. Silly boy :)

Stella keeps herself entertained :)

I think she was giving Taja a hug?? Stella LOVES giving hugs and kisses to everybody!

Avary watches a show when she gets here!

Payton teaches Claire & Stella their letters!
