Happy Birthday Grandpa!

We hope your day is super happy! As usual, our cards are in the mail and late, but the love and hugs we send are on time! Looking forward to more fun at Camp Grandpa this Christmas! XOXOXOXOXO

Daddy, I'm Sorry.....

I realize I'm in a little bit of a blogging slump. Matt's off the next two days, so maybe I'll get a chance to catch up. I love you, and I hope you have a great day! :)

L-O-G-A-N

Logan wrote his name all by himself!
Saturday, November 14, 2009.
For Kate's birthday.
After the first L was "not so good" he started over and did it!
Not bad for a 3 year old who is missing a tooth!
(That's another blog post for another day - and besides, I don't have a picture of it yet.)

Walking With Dinosaurs

I was really hoping that Daddy would make it home in time to take the boys, but work was yucky last week for him. So Mommy loaded up the three kids and headed to the brand new Cedar Park Center, for a Friday night date, to see Walking With Dinosaurs. We didn't have to go far, the center is practically in our backyard. It literally took us 45 seconds to get there. They were really excited, Mattie didn't get scared, and Logan spent the entire show with his fingers in his ears. Noah was a little disappointed that we didn't get to actually "walk" with the dinosaurs.

Stegosaurus:

Brachiosaurus:

The Velociraptors:

They were actually live people!

Triceratops:

Ankylosaurus:

And the boys' personal favorite - Mama T-Rex!

Don't mess with Mama T-Rex when she's protecting her baby!

"The T-Rex was awesome!" and "When can we take Dad to see the Dinosaurs?"
These were the quotes of the night.

And in case you were wondering? Out of the parking lot and home in the garage in 6 minutes. I could get used to that!

So It's Not Even Thanksgiving Yet......

....but we went to see Santa today.
Mattie didn't cry, but Santa's lap wasn't exactly where she wanted to be. Logan made progress, he's at least standing by Santa. And a small victory - Mommy didn't have to be in the picture this year!
Noah and Logan made an extensive list with Daddy this morning. I sure hope Santa didn't take a hit with the economy! There must be $300 worth of video games on the list! The boys are excited about Thanksgiving, putting lights on the house, cutting down our tree, and Christmas in general. It's going to be fun around here over the next 5 weeks. My favorite time of year.

Perfectly Pink Presents

It's about time some pink toys made it into this house.

(The tutu was a gift made by Aunt Chey, and the tiaras were the ones we wore on Mattie's "birth" day.)
