1st Snow Fall

Last week we got our first very little snow fall. Bo could not wait to go outside and play in it. Dave, Mark and Josh were actually finishing the combining right around our house that day as Bo had to be out with them. I can't wait for our next white fluffy snow fall so we can use the sled and play in it a little more.

Intro to Chuck E Cheese!!

Last Friday night we took Bo to Chuck E Cheese's for the 1st time celebrate potty training! He has caught on so quick and even is staying dry through naps and most nights (90%). We have only been doing it for about a month! Bo has done so well with it that we thought we should reward him. We didn't know what he would think of the place, but after eating pizza and warming up a little he was ready to play. He enjoyed it as well as we did! Uncle Hans was in town and able to join us.

My 1st Dolly!

About a week ago Bo brought out two of Gracie's dolly's from her room and gave then to her. She loved on then right away. I think she might just take after her Mommy on loving dolls, I think I played with mine up into jr. high. lol. Bo likes to play with them a little, we might just have to find a little boy doll, that may go over a little better with Daddy! Although tractors are still by far his favorite thing to play with!

Halloween ...A little late??

We had a fun time this year at Halloween, we went over to Mimi and Papa's to celebrate Sesame Street style! Aren't they all so adorable! We are thinking (adults) that we probably have one more year of picking there outfit and coordinating it before their going to have their opinion in costume choice. So what will next year be????

PLayiNG aRouND!

So I am really slow with learning new technology (just ask Jodi :) . Well since I have had Photoshop Elements for about 1 year or so and I am just now learning how to put a collage of pictures together. I have used it alot with editing my photos but nothing more fancy. Anyway, did this one this afternoon and had fun, lots to learn yet. But hoping to be able to put our Christmas card together this way with a lot more detail to it. Had to start somewhere. Kind of fun hope it doesn't take me as long the next time!

p.s... If you have any helpful hints for me let me know! What is the easiest way to do this????

Play Time.. So Happy!

Gracie loves being in the upright position, so she is really enjoying her Hop n' Pop, Exesaucer and the Bumbo these days! Still as happy as can be!!
