the sister in montana

My little sister Jessica and her beautiful baby girl Lily came for a visit just before Thanksgiving.

Lily and Travis are a month apart. It was fun to finally see them together.

Lily likes to grab things with her feet. It was pretty funny.

We did a trip to the zoo while they were here and we had a blast.

This is one of my favorites! So sweet!

tubby time

Trav is finally sitting up well enough to take a tubby with Enoch. This is a tremendous help because I can bathe them at the same time and just be done!

They love tubby time. Trav even cries when I take him out now. They have a blast! Oct - Nov 2009 296 Oct - Nov 2009 298 Oct - Nov 2009 299 Oct - Nov 2009 291

snow

Oct - Nov 2009 157

Believe it or not, winter is Enoch’s favorite time of year. He adores the snow. I have no idea where he got this from because Joe and I are both sun shine and beach people. I’m sure Enoch would love those as well  but, the snow holds a special place in Enoch’s heart.

Oct - Nov 2009 009We had about 18 inches a month or two ago and Enoch was chomping at the bit to go out and play.   Oct - Nov 2009 015 Oct - Nov 2009 046 Oct - Nov 2009 088These are my two favorite pictures. Enoch loving the snow and Trav just so content to sit and watch his big brother.  Oct - Nov 2009 187  Oct - Nov 2009 191 Oct - Nov 2009 194

Enoch got a little plump in the face during this month – he hit a growth spurt, was eating CONSTANTLY, all day long and it finally broke,

he has now grown a couple of inches so his face is a little thinner looking.  Its insane what they go through in these fresh years!Oct - Nov 2009 200

 

This last picture is for my big sis Alana, CHUBBY cheeks to munch on! :D  Oct - Nov 2009 201

time to play catch up

You will have to bear with me. This blog is sort of my version of scrapbooking and I’m a few months behind. I’m going to attempt to catch up as much as I can all in one day.

So here goes!

 

Halloween

Travis was a hotdog and I was the hotdog vendor. There are no pictures of me but thats ok, I only wore a mustache to make myself look different. Oct - Nov 2009 230

This is Enoch about 20 minutes before the trunk or treat at church. Just a slight melt down. Who doesn’t have a kid who does this? Thats what I thought.

Enoch took this picture of us. :D

Oct - Nov 2009 240

This is Enoch with his cousins Rawley and Brody. Brody is spiderman and Rawley is snake eyes. Enoch was roaring the whole time.

And this is Joe. He was Freddy Mercury. Gotta love him. :D

The Mantel

Joe is very talented. As guests in Joe’s parents home, we often do projects to help around the house. Bonnie had been asking for a mantel in the family room for a few months so Joe finally took on this project.

It took a few weeks but its amazing to watch the process. He is very gifted in his area of work and we’re so grateful for his talents.
And yes, I am making a list of things that I want done to our home when we finally get our own house. :D

This was the first night he started working on it.

This was probably a week after?

And the finished product. Well, not completely finished. The wires will eventually be hidden and there will be shelves on either side. The Wii just made it to this tv last night.

Bonnie loves it!
