Snow much fun

 

 

Boy winter sure came fast! Can't beleive how much snow we have!! Caleb had his first experience sitting in the snow... and Meagan loves helping her Daddy shovel the snow with her new shovel. Had to bite my tongue from saying "I told you so..." as I had warned Grant to put my winter tires on that came with my van. After getting stuck in his parents yard, guess who's getting her tires put on? I guess I should be thankful that I wasn't the one getting stuck with the kids in the van...
AND my little boy is now "kinda" crawling forwards! I call it the "worm" move, as he moves forward an inch at a time. Got on on video before he's really crawling. It's so cute. BUT, now I really have to watch him!! I went to grab my laundry, and I heard Meagan say... Baby broke the light. (He had crawled under the coffee table and unplugged the lamp). I will actually appreciate when Meagan "Tells" on him. It seems like just a short time ago he was pushing himself backwards all over my kitchen, and I missed catching that on video!
Meagan's at her friend's house today, so I better try to catch up on things while Caleb has a nap! Later

Playing with the camera again

 

 

 

Boy, there is so much to learning about taking good photos... but now I'm actually taking time to read some good How to books... Thanks to you Adrienne! Having someone come to your house to take photos lets you see it's really not that hard.. just takes some practice... Poor kids are seeing a camera atached to my face quite often..
But then, I took a look at how many little video clips I take of them, and I don't take enough!! I was just reliving a few moments, looking back at Meagan on video... Boy she's a cute kid! I miss her baby talk, cuz now she's all grown up.
I may try to put a video clip on here for your enjoyment.(if it works!)
My mission today: To try to get that husband of mine to take photos of me and my kids, since I can count on my hand how many of these I have :)

Fire of 2007

 

Grant decided to burn up our old deck one night... Meagan sure loved watching it burn, but was sad that her Daddy put her "pumpkins" (bags of leaves) in the fire... She had filled them up with me, and was great helper.

So, since I haven't written in forever, a little update... Caleb is getting his 6th tooth coming in already. Now he finally has 2 front teeth. I weight both Caleb and Meagan, and was amused by the numbers... Caleb is 31.5 pounds and 31.5 inches tall.. Wanna guess for Meagan... She is 39 pounds and 39 inches tall.. Neat huh? Same weight and height..

Hmmm, not much else in news around here... I started painting the bathroom (1st painting experience) and I am so thankfull Latex washes off!! I also learned that I need to pick my colors BETTER... I thought it would be a tan brown, but it was a pasty mustard yellow... oops! Needed another coat anyway, so I will go pick out a better color.

Tonight we have an "Bring your own Appetizer' bday party to go to with friends, and Grant is looking through cookbooks, and online for recipies. It's kinda funny, he's never done that before. And after all that, he settled on the 2 appetizers I was planning on making. Bacon wrapped scallops and stuffed mushrooms. But he's making them right now, so they're "his". Men huh?
Well, now he wants to check a recipe online again... maybe he'll start cooking more often! Later

Photo clips

Make a slide show, scrapbook or ecard

Trick or Treat!

Meagan's first real time out Trick or Treating...

This poodle had Oodles of fun!

Grant's creations...

Caleb

Poor Caleb, put some color on his face for 10 mins, and it made his face green afterwards!!! Oops!

My little pumpkin... This is the costume we went Trick or Treating in. We walk store to store on main street and Meagn only said "Trick or Treat" to the women, not the men... Then we went to a few friends' houses.

And this is Caleb at Moms n Tots, sleeping on the mat. Slept through all the noise of all the other kids playing around him... I had borrowed some different outfits to see what would fit him... Little guy had to pose for me numerous times.
