National Adoption Month

It is national adoption month, and one of the most amazing peeps I know is Sara she has had to go through so much. But in the end she has gotten the cutest little girl. If you ever get a chance you need to check out her blog. Read her story. There are so many people out there that are wanting to adopt. I think she wants more too if you know of anyone who is in a situation of considering adoption.

Army

My brother Cole decided to join the army and become a medic. We are all pretty sad about it. It wasn't something that my family really wanted but he had already signed up so there wasn't much we could do about it. He is in Fort Knox Kentucky right now. He was supposed to go to South Carolina and they told him about ten minutes before his flight that he was going to Kentucky instead. I guess when you sign that contract they own you. We have gotten one phone call from him it was about 10 seconds long and he told us he is some what safe. None of us talked to him so we didn't get to ask him what that means. He just left a message on the phone. He'll be in Kentucky for basic until the end of January and then he'll go off to medic training in Texas. We love him and wish him the best.

Halloween 2009

We had such a great Halloween this year. I was Captain Hook, Karly was Tinkerbell, and Noah was Peter pan. I tried to get Jared to be Wendy but he wouldn't :(. The kiddos with all of their cousins.

Sophia and Karly two fairies.

Ghost on a stick. My mom read a poem to all the kids and they had to pull their ghost out every time it said ghost before the pan lid hit their ghost.

As you can see Noah didn't like the game very much.

Then my mom played a game where she passed around gross things and everyone had to feel them. Example Eyes were grapes that were peeled.

One tired Fairy.

Noah went trick or treating for the first time and LOVED it. It was a great holiday for all of us. I'm eating a piece right now.

Pumpkins

My mom and I tried to take pictures of the kiddos infront of the pumpkins. Everytime I try to take a picture of Karly it seems like it is her eating time and she gets upset. Here are a few.

Karly and Noah/ Gardner's Village Witches

Karly is now 4 months old. I can't believe how fast my little girl is growing. She can now hold her head without support and she is soooo talkative. She makes the loudest noises. I can't believe those noises can come out of such a tiny baby. I think she is getting close to teething. She is slobbering everywhere as you can see in this picture she is eating her shirt. We went to her four month appointment. she now weighs 14 lbs and 0.1 oz 75 Th percentile.
She is in the 75Th percentile for height and still is in the 25Th percentile for her head size. If they would measure her head where her cheeks are I'm sure she would be in the 95 Th percentile. Her cheeks giggle when she goes for car rides. There so stinkin cute. I love having a chubby baby. Noah wasn't chubby at all.

My cute kiddos. Noah is going through the TERRIBLE TWO's Tantrums, hitting, screaming, lying on the floor kicking. It is SUPER FUN! Everyone I talk to said the threes were worse. I sure hope not.

A few of my aunts, cousins, and my mom and my kiddos all went down to Gardner's Village to see the fun witches. We got there at about 5:30 and ate. We didn't realize that the stores closed at 8:00 so we missed out. It was fun getting together with everyone. It was supposed to be a girls night out but I brought Noah along because Jared had to go in the field that night. Noah and my cousin Hannah.

My mom, me, Karly and Noah.

Baby shower

This girl is having a baby girl on October 11Th This girl Jenny

This girl Annie

This girl Amy

This girl Brianne

Threw a shower for Jennifer and I.. and Karly
This is the cute crown that Jenny made for the shower the cute babies fell of before I took the picture.

It was really nice because I got some bigger clothes for Karly. They are all so cute! THANKS GIRLS!

We ate here..... It was really good they brew their own root beer and I even had a root beer chicken sandwich. I would recommend it. However our waiter was a little slow. Jennifer had three Pepsi's and didn't get a fourth because the waiter wasn't keeping on top of it. Thanks Jenny for paying for me and driving my car. I never told you!


As you can see no pictures of the shower because my battery died in my camera. I hate when that happens. Speaking of Camera......
I went to this concert and forgot my camera. I went out to the entrance and they wouldn't let me go back out to my car. I was sooo bummed. Jared got really close seats we were about 10 feet away from him. That is the closest I have ever been at a concert.

He was there too. I was surprised how many of his songs I knew considering I don't really listen to Country at all.

So be-it!

So the other day I was changing Karly and Noah walks into the room. He pulls on my shirt and out of no where he says, mom I need a baby bother (brother). I said, WHAT???? his next reply was heavendly father that's how he says it.(heavenly father) too weird! Don't worry I am not prego and don't plan to be anytime soon. Here is Noah in his New Hampshire attire my mom brought him back from her trip. We asked Noah where is your smile and he pointed to it.

We caught some smiles on camera.
