Thankful!

There is so much to be thankful for this year.
I am not sure where to start, but here it goes.
1. My health
2. Healthy babies
3. A stable job
4. Unconditonal love from my husband.
5. Mikey and Garrett's laugh.
6. Mikey and Garrett's smiles.
7. Mikey and Garrett in general!
8. My true friends(Love you Roda)
9. My family
10. Did I mention Mikey and Garrett?
Emily was right when she said hug your mom. You should also hug your dad's, grandparents, brothers, sisters, friends, and if your feeling really giving, hug your inlaws :)
I hope everyone has a wonderful 4 day weekend.
Just remember that Thanksgiving is family disfunction at it's best.

It's a.....?











It's a plane!







It's a train!



No, it's SUPERMAN!








I found these SUPER cute pj's the other day at the store. They had this one and a batman one. I couldn't resist, I got them both. It even came with a little cape!


Once the camera came out, he became quite the diva. Normally it's Mikey that is the camera hog, but this night Garrett made an exception. Here are some of his runway faces:

I think he was trying to put the new cape to good use and fell down. Even superman get's his feelings hurt!













After narrowly escaping death as shown above, superman makes a full recovery, and even feels good enough to do that weird thing with his tounge. That's weird!









Of course, what would any modeling job be without the magnum face? Here is it ladies, he is currently single if anyone is looking for a young super hero.










They didn't have these pj's in Mikey's size, but that didn't seem to stop him for Jumping off everything like he is superman. After watching Garrett get all the camera attention, Mikey decided's it's his turn. He finds a winter coat that is like 2 sizes to small and is so bright, he could glow in the dark. At this point, I can't not take his picture. So here it is, the fat guy in a little coat.



I'm not even sure how he could breathe in that coat, but he sure was having a good time.

Good times...

My wonderful little mikey, who is now 3 years old, has been saying the funniest things lately. I posted the blog about the "punkie patch", and when it came time to carve those pumpkins, Mikey crawled up on the kitchen table and puts his arms around the pumpkin and says " Mom, I love this pumpkin!"

So after this 10 minute love story about him and his pumpkin he says, " mom, you take a picture of us?" Like the pumpkin is someone he knows.

Now the pumpkin's have been carved and it's time to go trick or treating. Mikey has been straying from his first true love, Lightening McQueen, and been spending more time with his new Toy Story movie. We went to get his costume and he picked out 3. Buzz Light Year, Woody, and Sponge Bob. After much thought, he looks up at me and says " Mom, I be Woody." Who can say no to that? So long story short, Mikey was Woody and baby Garrett was a pumpkin. Mikey wore his costume almost everyday before Halloween. He would have slept in it if I let him. Here he is playing with Ariana on her birthday all dressed up and waiting for a gun fight. He was so excited to have a shooting gun like a real cowboy.

Garrett's costume was really fluffy around his belly and when he would sit down, he was less than pleasent. He is not much of a hat kid, but he did great with his hat for his costume. So I will now unveil the great halloween pumpkin, Baby Garrett!!!

Like I said, he wasn't the happiest kid when he was sitting, but he sure is the cutiest little pumpkin! Just a little side note, that huge pink smear on my wall is finger nail polish. That is a whole other story I will have to let you in on another day. Any way, we load everyone into the car and off to day care we go for the party. They had a costume parade, and trip to the pumpkin patch, and a trick or treat around the center. All in all, I think they had a good time. Halloween night, I got home late from work. Anyone who grew up in Nevada can share my disappointment in the fact that I had to work on Nevada day. I think we were the only doctors office in Nevada that was open. Boo :( Anyway, off we went to go trick or treating. We went with my friend Krysta and her family. Her son Mathew is a year older than Mikey and they are best friends. Mat says to me on day " Auntie Emmy, Mikey is my brother from another mother." He cracks me up. Mat was the incredable hulk, and was he so cute.


I pushed Garrett around in the stroller, and when we got to a house, he would get out and walk up to the door with the big boys. When I would put him back in the stroller, he would sit there with his bucket of candy, very content. So imagine my suprise when we take this picture. He is so sneeky!
He looks like he has been busted! Eating the chocolate in the dark! Needless to say, this halloween was great. The boys really enjoyed their costumes, had a great time trick or treating, and had a great day hanging out with their dad.
