Up she goes!

My options for today's nap were knitting, putting away clothes or updating the blog. The blog won, well.. family won. :) It's great to hear that all of you are enjoying the blog, I feel bad that I don't get much time to update it, and when I do it's usually only pictures, but then, that's what you're here to see, no?

Here's the reason I don't get much time in a day anymore..



the lil peach is totally mobile! Friday night she surprised us by standing without anything to help her! I made such a big deal, she kept it up. The crab walk only lasted one night before she had it totally mastered. Now there's no stopping her!

Last week was super busy with Halloween. Last year she was way to young to go out, we did little more than put her jack-o-lantern bib on her. This year I found the cutest bear costume!

Olive is working out great! I heard from another Mom that goes to Moms and Tots and she said Alexiss and Olive are getting along wonderfully. Day care is hard to come by out here, specially someone you can really count. We're still having problems on Wednesdays, Olive can't do it on Wed. Mark stayed home one week, and I found a neighbor last week, this week is up in the air.

This is us trick or treating, we visited Krista. This is the woman that watched Alexiss this past Wed.


Marv (pictured) and Grace gave Alexiss her first sucker, she knew just what to do...and we knew just when it got to the stick to take it away. Marv and Grace host the weekly Bible study Mark attends.


This is just before going out trick or treating. It took some work to get a good picture. Alexiss was being a bit fuzzy..oh..fussy. heh.



Alexiss and her brood. Puppy, baby and puppy all in hand and settling in to watch some Baby Einstein before bed.


Cindi and Matt came for a visit, this is Alexiss eating her first Dorito. She was so charming, she would swap her soppy chip for Matt's crunchy chip then give him a kiss. How could a guy resist!
