random photo wednesday


1.  playtime with our growing boy.  2.  Tessa's class pet (piper the rabbit) came home with us for the past 2 weeks, and was dressed up an infinite number of times.


1. wagon rides with my two lovies.  2.  oranges getting ready to pick.  3.  Tessa looks really cute in glasses, although I hope she never has to wear them!  On the other hand, my new glasses are ready for pickup today!  


1.  And speaking of today - THIS GUY TURNS 5!
Happy Birthday James!

Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time, a long time ago, there was a holiday called Halloween.  And during the Halloween season, there are lots of fun activities to do.  And I took a bunch of pictures, but then got lazy and did not want to edit them all for the blog.  Until now.  Happy Halloween (a few weeks late).

Cute little monster

Having fun with the Grandma and Grandpa McMillan

I was chosen to be a sponsor of a pig goat race and our goat won.  My prize was a pig nose.

Tessa really wasn't happy, she wanted candy instead (which the losers of the race received)

Before her first roller coaster ride.

She loved it!



And then we went back to Schnepf Farms with our friends (and nanny) Taylor, Jerry, Talon and Venice.

We worked hard the night before to get her costume done because Taylor said her kids would be in theirs, too.  Well, she called that morning saying it was too hot to wear them - BUT WE STAYED UP LATE so Tessa and Asher wore theirs!

Wonder Woman flying! 

More roller coaster fun.  Talon and Tessa held hands the whole way!  The picture of Talon's face is priceless on his first roller coaster drop.

We wore Superman out!



Carving the pumpkin she drew.

Tessa's pumpkins - The spotted one was made with a drill bit.

Asher in Tessa's first Halloween Costume.  The photo of Asher and me was taken by Tessa!

We trick or treated in our old neighborhood where my parents still live and visited our good friends over there.  Tessa had to show us all her goods when we got back to the house!

An error

I realized I flipped Asher's percentiles.  He is 33rd for weight and 89th for height.  I am sure some of you were confused (okay, maybe no one was, but I feel that I need to correct it!)  And because no post is complete without pictures:


Hope you're having a great holiday weekend!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Asher is thankful for a holiday that does not involve fitting a baby into a pumpkin!
Hope everyone is having a wonderful day.

4 month check up


Asher is:

14 pounds 10 ounces (33rd percentile)
26.5 inches long (89th percentile)

and following his curves perfectly!
Would you expect anything less?

Sedona in motion

(watch it in HD on the vimeo website, it makes it even better!)

The idea came from pink sugar photography.  Her video is awesome, but my video has my favorite people in it, so I like it best!

Fire!

I have lots of pre halloween and day of halloween pictures to share, but to keep up my good blogging run, I'll post these today.  We had our inaugural fire in the fireplace a few weeks ago.  Was it cold out that night?  Not at all, but it was fall and we were ready!
