Happy Thanksgiving!!!

We wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. We are so thankful for our families and love that we are able to spend this holiday with my parents up in Kemmerer, but we do miss the Ewings and the Salas'!!

I am also very thankful to have 2 happy, healthy, beautiful kids. Here are a few pictures of them the past few days up at Grandma and Grandpa Smalls house. Micaela made Turkey cookies with Grandma..even though Grandma was the only one worried about decorating them, Micaela thought the frosting tasted better on her fingers.

We even got to hang out with Grandma Louise and Papa Red.

Photo Tag

Thought this was fun...Nicki tagged me, and I am tagging YOU....The rules are that you have to go to My Pictures on your computer, select the 4Th folder and then the 4Th picture and post it with a brief description....This is my Mom and I dressed up for a "Murder Mystery" party for New Years Eve 2005. I was pregnant with Micaela - that is why I look so big :) It was fun - my parents do this every year with some friends, it was nice to be able to play along.

I am tagging anyone who reads this...it was fun!!

6 Weeks!!!

Time flies when you are having fun! I can not believe our little boy is already 6 weeks old. Here are a few cute pictures we took this morning. Thanks Tiff for the cute onesie!
This is one of my favorite photos because this is how every day is for us. When Micaela talks, Taylor will turn his head and put all his attention on her. He has done this since the day we brought him home. He loves his big sister and already looks up to her. I'm almost scared to find out the things she'll teach him. :)

Prof Pictures

I know I posted this already, but now I am able to put some of the pictures up. They turned out so well that I already have her booked to do Micaela's 3 yr and Taylor's 3 month pictures. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way they turned out. If any of you are interested you should totally give her a call. I have never been this happy about the turn out of pictures before - again her blog is http://heatherbirdphotography.typepad.com and it is also saved as a link off of this blog.

DORA party!!

I thought we would take advantage of my maternity leave and go to Kemmerer for the week. Micaela LOVES Dora...if she could watch it 24/7 she would! So if you didn't know, Nick Jr played a "movie" called Dora Saves the Snow Princess on Monday night. It was playing really late so we taped it and then had a "Dora Party" the following night.

We were going to run to the store (Alco) and get our party items. So when we asked Micaela what we needed for our "party" she gave us her list. Party hats, goody bags, cake, and balloons. When we got to the store, there wasn't too many party items so we got ice cream cones, balloons, and candles. She insisted that we sing her Happy Birthday.

Here is a picture of her and Bessie snuggled up watching Dora!

It does sound a little cheesy, but she had a BLAST! Thanks BaMa for a great week!

Halloween

Here is a picture of Micaela and Daddy's pumpkin. I found these cute "Mr potato head" pumpkin decorators so instead of carving a pumpkin, Micaela put the Pirate together. They had a great time...you can't tell but Micaela is giving her best pirate imitation and saying ARRGG!

We went trick or treating at Daddy's work and got LOTS of candy. She was the life of the party, instead of saying "trick or treat" she would go to the next person and say "What do you have?" and she could only have 1 of every candy in her bag.

Then later that night we went trick or treating in our neighborhood and at first she was very shy and held my hand the whole time (which I am lucky if I can get her to hold my hand while crossing the street most of the time) But after a while she started running to the next house. Most houses would show her the bowl of candy and say, ok you can pick 2. She would take her time in deciding which 1 she wanted and would only want to pick 1. We came home with another bag FULL of candy.

Here is a picture of our Punkin'. He didn't really get it this year, but he was able to stay home in the warm house and give out candy with daddy. Next year he will enjoy it more!
