Can you believe this little guy is seven

months?!!!! Raider is such a happy

smiley baby. He brings us so much joy.

Since Aspen got her tonsils out we have

been watching a lot of movies, reading a

lot of books and eating a lot of otter pops.

I put raider down for a nap but he kept

making odd little noises. It was a debate

whether I should peek in his room or not,

If he was sleeping I didn't want to wake him.

Of coarse I crack the door and find Raider

peeking out the window.

bye-bye Tonsils

Aspen and her cute nurse Stephanie.

Stephanie was so good to Aspen, here

she is wheeling her out to the car.

This was Aspen right after the surgery

with a grape Popsicle. Aspen was too tired,

she slept for an hour or so while Trent and

I just sat there watching her.

Before surgery the nurse let Aspen pick

out a toy and some stickers.

Here is my spunky little girl before she was

wheeled away and put under.....

Love this guy.........

Raider playing with a ball, (if you cant tell).

Getting into his toy bin...

This is raider listening to my country music,

he totally loves country already.

Love his smile. Raider is a very smiley

baby. He seems to be happy 98% of the time.

Between strep throat and pink eye, Aspen has been

home more then usual. Plus the weather being

so cold we have nothing better to do then to take pictures,

(not really, there is always stuff to do). For some

good news though... Raider is scooting!!!

Its almost an army crawl but not quite.

Can you see the things behind Aspens head?

That is a card system Aspen learned at school so

she thought we should do it at home. If you yell, say

something mean, or do anything bad you have to pull

a card. Their are three colors of cards and when

you get to the last one you have to take a time-out.

We don't really use this card system.

At our house you don't get three chances.

I let Aspen keep it on our wall just to humor her.

This girl is so dang funny!!!!

Autumn is by far the best season ever!!!

The leaves changing colors, no more sweating,

grey Sky's, hot soups, wrapping up in a

blanket with a great book, hot tubs, long

runs in the crunching leaves, less daytime,

one more of my favorite things about Fall is

warm and cozy sweatsuits.......

My six year old and six month old......So cute

I took some pictures of my kids

right before Aspen went to choir. Aspen cannot

get enough of Raider. She makes him

smile more then anyone else.

Back in gymnastics. Aspen really

wants to be able to do the splits, back bend,

and a good handstand. We hope gymnastic

will help her make her goals.
