The Toilet Paper Hero!


The Thanksgiving week was a good one. Dale had to stay behind because he had to work last minute, but the rest of us went on to my parents' house for the week. While we were there, Jordan had a "I am bored and need to get creative" moment. She insisted on having a cape made of toilet paper and then wanted a hat as well. She then "flew" around the house saving whatever. I think she watches the Wonder Pets too much.

Trevor was a bit of a terror while we were there. I think he was just so tired from traveling and being in a new place that he just was not in good shape. I got a few pictures from some good moments. He is going through some funky phase though. I just hope it passes soon and I get to enjoy this happy baby again!

Then, we drove to meet my brother and sister-in-law for the baptism of our newest nephew! Dale and I were his sponsors and Dale was able to fly in and meet us. Brendan is a sweety and super cute - just like his parents! And we were so happy to be there for his big day!

And, last but not least, Trevor had a great time playing with the mirror in our room!

Princess Jordan


I found a princess dress, tiara, and wand on clearance after Halloween and surprised Jordan with it one day. She loved it! She walked around waving the wand and turning me into a frog.

Trevor still has not figured out how to crawl. I am possibly even more anxious for him to crawl than he is. He can almost get into a sitting position from laying down, but not quite. I will stick with what the doctor keeps saying - he's got a lot of weight to throw around, but he'll get there eventually. According to our home scale, he weighs a whopping 28 lbs, at the age of 8 months!

In this picture he is looking up at Jordan in her princess get up and I can't tell if he is admiring her, or thinking she must be crazy!

More Halloween Fun!

We didn't go trick or treating. Both kids were "officially" pirates for what few Halloween things we did. But, we ended up at Old Navy with costumes on sale for $2.00 each. We ended up with a chicken and a monkey and I hoped they would fit next year. When we tried them on at home, I have my doubts that they will fit. But, this was well worth the $4.00! As soon as I got that chicken costume on Jordan, she instantly started running circles aroung the house shouting "cheep, cheep!" Then I told her that chickens say "bock, bock" and so she started saying that instead.
And, Trevor looked super cute bouncing up and down in the monkey suit!
I even found costumes for the dogs. But...... They weren't exactly thrilled about it. Happy Halloween!!!!
