Halloween is Over....

Can Christmas be far behind?

'Santa' is growing an awesome beard this year!

"Mrs. Claus" might need a shave though!

I never figured that a half-full bag of batting

and a discarded santa hat 

could be so much fun!

You better be good- Santa is watching you!

One!

It is hard to believe that it has already been a year 

since little Punky B came into our lives 

Happy Birthday Punky B!

Happy Birthday Punky B!

She loved the icing on her cake but she never really ate any cake!

Sweet little one didn't get any icing on her pretty yellow dress 

and she graciously shared her chocolate icing with her Dada!

She got tons of toys but her favorite seemed to be her new baby doll!

Give the baby a kiss for us too Punky B!


(I have to give a big shout out to my niece, Miss M who helped me pick the pictures and type the words- we have to help her spell but she did an awesome job!!)

 Punky B and Miss M!

M&M's go to Cali

OK, we didn't really go to Cali but little Miss M thought it was so far away that we had to be in California about 15-20 minutes into our trip!

We were only going about 30 miles from home, 

not the 1830 it would take to get to Disneyland!

What is better than ice cream on a warm summer night?

I am so in love with those blue eyes....

AYKM??  This is the "normal" face I get when I ask her to pose for me!!

Someone seems to be channeling Ed Grimley!!

(plus I love that he buttoned his shirt crooked!!)

I am happy to report that they received a "most excellent" behavior report for today!

These are not edited photos - this is straight out of the camera!

Complete darkness and a light up bucket make for interesting photos!

We had a blast at Civic Park tonight!

Of Footballs and Flowers

I never thought my nephew would be playing football,

but here is proof that he is in the game!

The "games" are pretty comical to watch at times but the kids seem like they are having fun!

In the meantime, I also got the exact opposite of manly activities from my niece...

She picked this flower just for me!

Well, maybe not just for me, but it was sweet!

No Peeking!

Just a friendly reminder to all - No Peeking until Christmas!!
