Christmas Lighting

If your next few weeks are anything like mine.... you are BUSY!  Thanksgiving, Christmas shopping, decorating,  and lots of parties.  Not a lot of spare time.  I know of one thing you can easily check off of your to-do list. Your Christmas lights on your home.  Plus, your husband won't fall off the roof!  (We do have a lot of steep roofs in our neighborhood.)  We have a friend from our previous ward who owns a Christmas Lighting business!  He does great work at great prices.  He is a great man who is honest and efficient!  He could use all of the referrals he can get in this tough economy!  If you are interested, give him a call.

Christmas Lighting

7 weeks!

As you may have guessed, 

I haven't had a lot of time to blog lately!  ha ha 

I am tired, busy, tired, and did I say busy?!

So this is the best I can do for now.  Kase has been such a GOOD baby!  He rarely cries, he adjusts well to the many loud sounds in our house (Konnor, Kaylee, guitars, etc..)  

He is a little snuggler! 

Here is Kase compared to Dads shoe and 

the Book of Mormon (missionary edition).

This is a little tradition with our kids... we have done this with all of our children.

And now this is him 4 weeks later!  My little chunky man!

 Not the best sleeper... but really good with diaper changes by ALL of the many hands helping the job get done!

 This is a tender moment I caught on camera with dad.  The day before he left for Australia!

 And sweet Kaylee kept saying in the background, "Mom, mom, take a picture of me and my capri sun!"  So here you go....  A pic of Kaylee and her capri sun.  :)

 My 3 little munchkins!  My heaven on earth!

 Look at that SMILE!!!!   And look at those boots!  Old Navy purchase my mom made months ago.  She must have known we were having a boy!

Well, that is the best update I can do for now.  Kase is starting to wake up!  His 2 month check up is this week.  Hopefully, I can post again then!

Kaylee Quote

Yesterday, Kaylee came up to me while I was holding Kase.  She gave him a kiss.  I said, "Awe Kase, your big sister is giving you a little smoochy!"  Kaylee then gave me a big kiss on the cheek!

I said, "Kase, your big sister just gave me a really wet kiss!"

I asked Kaylee, "Why was your kiss SO WET?"

Kaylee said, "I licked my lips."

I said, "Why did you do that?"

Kaylee said, "So it would stay on longer!"

You have to love the funny things kids say!  And my kids are ALWAYS coming up with funny things to say!  That is something I am very thankful for!

Halloween again and again...

Halloween First round... 

Kaylee had her first Halloween at school!  Her school did a big Halloween parade!  IT WAS PACKED!  Here is Kaylee in her recycled Halloween costume!  (THE dress)... This was Friday morning at school.

Round 2:  However, since Kaylee goes to afternoon Kindergarten, we got dressed AGAIN...  She was going to have a party in her room that day, so I didn't want her spilling punch or getting frosting on her DRESS, so we put her in her Aurora costume that afternoon.

 The PM Kindergarten had their own parade at the school... and being the awesome mom I am, I went to that one too!  ;)  Here she is super giddy and waving like a fairy princess in a parade!

 

Round 3-  Friday Night:  Kathie came and babysat ALL THREE KIDS!  So Kyle and I could attend his boss's Halloween party!  THE Scallywag!

So here we are as PIRATES!  And to be specific, I was a Gypsy Pirate.

 Laughing it up with friends!

 

Here is part of the DigiGang...  Good times had by all.

 

Round 4:  Saturday afternoon was our wards Trunk or Treat... But both Kaylee and Konnor weren't feeling well.  And Kaylee slept right through the whole thing.  :(

Round 5:  So, Saturday night I woke her up and said lets get dressed to go TRICK or TREATING.  She seemed excited about that.  So she popped up off the couch.  But then to our disappointment, it was RAINING outside.  And aunt Kellie told us to NOT get THE dress wet.  Parts of it were glued.  So we couldn't wear her dress yet again.  She decided on her Jasmine dress that she has had for a couple of years now.  Konnor was going to be a Newsie in his "recycled costume".  But since it was freezing... he wore pants and he kept taking his suspenders off... so. THIS is what you get.

 Kyle was outside in the Haunted Garage when I was taking pics so I just have Kase on the changing pad.  LAME, I know.  But here is the cutest Baby Pirate ever.  He was mad, but still cute.

I drove the kids around to just a few houses, since it was wet, cold, and windy.  Then we came back home and by Saturday Night, this is what Kyle and I transformed into... DEATH...  :)  

 Granted, our makeup was much better at the beginning of the night.  And take note.... I did my makeup with ONE HAND while holding the baby in the other hand!  NO JOKE!  I feel so accomplished.  For those of you that are really reading all of this, if you must know, I was nursing too!  ha ha

Below:  My scary man!  We didn't go all out with the Haunted Garage like in years past, but it was VERY spooky to the new neighborhood kids!  They had nothing to compare it to. 

 Kaylee even wanted to go in the "Spooky Garage and scare the kids".  (Kaylee's own words)

Her bravery has come FAR in the past couple of years!

So... we were Pirates, Gypsies, Royal Princesses, Newsie boy (who just really looked like he was going to church), Jasmine, and Zombies--- all in a 24 hour period.
