Football

OK, not to toot my own horn here but this is pretty much awesome. Or maybe it is just so awesome because my boys are LOVING it!! I made this football field out of felt and ribbon so they could play with Justin's old Starting Line Up football players. They are obsessed with the football players, and anything else football. We found some on eBay for Christmas and this was going to go with them but when they pulled out Justin's players today I couldn't wait! They love it and I love them :-)

 Taylor's team is the Giants and Braxton's is the 49ers.

After I gave it to them Taylor asked me when he could open his other Christmas presents.

Dancing Fool

Lately Taylor has been a dancing fool. He loves it! He asks me to put on music and dances away. He loves to be silly and that is exactly what his dancing is! He especially loves it when everyone will join in. Tonight they were wild and crazy so I finally had to pull out my camera. I have been slacking on taking pictures lately. Thanks for a good time my Taylor Bug.

 I hope they always love each other and show it!

 Callers being her bossy little self. She may be small but this girl is FEISTY!

 Avri's new thing is chewing on her fingers. I can't get them out of her mouth. Hopefully it is just a teething thing and goes away...soon.

 This boys was trying to get away from the camera but I got him!

And this one just kept sticking his tongue out so thats all I got.

Messy

Ok, I know what you are thinking. Why does their mom not do their hair! Trust me I try! Everyday! It usually looks good for the first half of the day and by bedtime this is what we get. It's crazy hair day at our house daily.

 

 Callers came out to show me what she put on. Inside out, boys underwear. Hope it was clean :-) 

 Of course they all wanted their picture taken. They let me take pictures when we look like rag muffins but when we are all cute and ready no such luck!

After bath and hair a little less wild!

My Callers

Oh my child!

This is not the first time she has done this! Maybe 3rd or 4th! Crazy girl just can't get enough of the bath!



2 years

Oh my sweet baby girls! You have been such a joy in our home! Happy Birthday!

At 2 years you...

get into everything, have mastered the word mine, yell "stop it" at everyone, fight with each other in the car (we had to move your car seats away from each other), get so excited when you do something new that you say "I did it" with a fist pump, walk down the stairs without holding on, love your brothers, copy everything you hear, carry your babies and blankies everywhere, call water bottles cups, hate your car seats, love your stroller, shoes, bananas, waffles, rereal (cereal), pancakes, eggs, fruit, juice, nacks, babies, cars, movies (Cinderella is Macall's favorite, calls it Rella), you can not sit still for longer then 2 minutes, hate time out, rarely use utensils, try to read with brothers, know the songs ABC, Twinkle Little Star, Sunbeam, Popcorn, Apples and Bananas, Macalls counts starting at 8,9,10, love to play with Conner Beckstrom (you both always hold his hands when we are walking together), hate having your diapers changed but don't act interested in the potty yet, Avri calls Macall baby or Call-yee, Macall calles Avri Avi, love it when Dad come home, are persistant, fight for what you want, love it when mom will sing and rock you. You girls are so much fun and have great little personalities! We love you so much!

Just a few more pictures from memory lane!

Happy Halloween

The kids were ready to go Trick or Treating as soon as we were done with dinner. We left before many kids were out but it was the perfect time. About 10 minutes later there were tons of kids on the streets. Justin and I took them all down the street and then Justin took the boys around to a couple different streets and the girls and I hit the other side of the street and back home to pass out candy. They all loved it! Macall and Avri got the hang of it pretty quick! knock and get candy! Easy enough! Taylor was a little hesitant because one of the first houses we went to had a dog. After we split Justin said the boys had a blast! They ran from door to door, skipping the dark houses "because they aren't home!" and had a great time! They kept telling Justin is was so much fun!  

Daddy's Office

After lunch we went downtown to Trick or Treat at Justin's office. Everyone always gets huge bags of candy and there are maybe 10 kids that go in. They were giving handfuls of candy to the kids or letting them take as many as they wanted. We came home with a good haul.

(I loved the way Macall was caryying her bag! It got so heavy that she couldn't carry it anymore)
