Well, it's about time for an update I guess! It is October!! The weather is wonderful! Callie's birthday is this month, I can't believe it! She is going to be 3, crazy how fast life goes. Kyle is off work today and just left with Callie to take her to the jumpy place. She was so excited. She came over to Gavin before she left, gave him a big hug and said I love you. She is doing great around him. I would say our biggest issue with her and him is that she does not know how to be QUIET!! Gavin is doing great. He has still been in my room until last night. I finally put him in his room. I actually don't like to keep babies in my room that long but he has been waking her up at night so that was the solution. So, I cranked up her white noise, cranked up his and shut both doors. Uncle Luke had a football game last night and we went. We had a great time, even though it was freezing. Don't worry....Erin kept Gavin for me!
Oh, and Kyle got a buck on opening day of deer season. Not that big of a deal to me, but super huge to him. He was, and still is, super excited about it!
Well, that's about all that is going on here. Now to the important things....like pictures!! :)

Ok, so I think I've been tagged a few times so here goes...
1-I am ADDICTED to Dr. Pepper! It is my one favorite thing. BUT...I only like it from the fountain. Don't bother buying me a can or bottle of it, not the same!
2-I think dirty bathroom baseboards are so gross. Your bathroom can be totally clean, but if your baseboards are still dirty, then it's not clean. (But, don't get me wrong, I don't always have clean bathrooms, I just think cleaning them includes the baseboards!)
3-I've never had a "nice" car. My mini-van is the most I've ever spent on a car and it was still under $5,000. Before that I'd say $3,000 is the most I've ever spent. I'd rather spend money on my house.
4-I like my hair a lot more now than I did in high school. It has changed. (I don't mean style, I mean texture)
5-My daughter has WAAAYYY too many clothes and shoes.
6-I still have a baby tooth. (and I don't mean in a drawer somewhere, I mean in my mouth)
7-One of my favorite moves is The (ORIGINAL) Parent Trap
8-I am REALLY REALLY tired. |

THE NEXT SURVIVOR SERIES
Six married men will be dropped on an island with one car and
3 kids each for six weeks.
Each kid will play
two sports
and either take music
or dance classes.
There is no fast food.
Each man must
take care of his 3 kids;
keep his assigned house clean,
correct all homework,
and complete science projects,
cook, do laundry,
and pay a list of 'pretend' bills
with not enough money.
In addition, each man
will have to budget in money
for groceries each week.
Each man
must remember the birthdays
of all their friends and relatives,
and send cards out
on time--no emailing.
Each man must also
take each child to a doctor's appointment,
a dentist appointment
and a haircut appointment.
He must make
one unscheduled and inconvenient
visit per child
to the Urgent Care.
He must also
make cookies or cupcakes
for a social function.
Each man will be responsible for
decorating his own assigned house,
planting flowers outside
and keeping it presentable
at all times.
The men will only
have access to television
when the kids are asleep
and all chores are done.
The men must
shave their legs,
wear makeup daily,
adorn himself with jewelry,
wear uncomfortable yet stylish shoes,
keep fingernails polished
and eyebrows groomed!
During one of the six weeks,
the men will have to endure severe abdominal cramps, back aches,
and have extreme, unexplained mood swings but never once complain or
slow down from other duties.
They must attend
weekly school meetings,
church, and find time
at least once to spend the afternoon
at the park or a similar setting.
They will need to
read a book to the kids
each night and in the morning,
feed them, dress them,
brush their teeth and
comb their hair by 7:00 am.
A test will be given at the end of the six weeks, and each father will be required to know all of the following information:
each child's birthday,
height, weight,
shoe size, clothes size
and doctor's name.
Also the child's weight at birth,
length, time of birth,
and length of labor,
each child's favorite color,
middle name,
favorite snack,
favorite song,
favorite drink,
favorite toy,
biggest fear and
what they want to be when they grow up.
The kids vote them off the island
based on performance.
The last man wins only if...
he still has enough energy
to be intimate with his spouse
at a moment's notice.
If the last man does win,
he can play the game over and over
and over again for the next 18-25 years
eventually earning the right
To be called Mother!

So...I figured out that when I do an entry to our family blog all I have to do is copy and paste the entire entry and even the pics will show up on here. So....that is what I've been doing. So...sorry for nothing new being on my posts except for info about the kids....but hey..this is my life!
In other news, I got new kicks today! As in tennis shoes. (Do they actualy call them tennis shoes anymore?) Anyway, I got a pair of Nike's. I'm so excited!! I have not had a pair of Nike's since high school I think. Don't get me wrong..I have LOTS of shoes, but seem to buy cheap shoes or church shoes. It was about time for a good pair of kicks!
I got out today and took Gavin to the mall. It's amazing how much more you appreciate taking a newborn out when you are used to taking a almost 3 year old out. What a difference! He slept the whole time!
Anyone out their watching Prison Break and what do you think? I am still LOVING it (I could stare at Wentworth Miller all day long!!), but Kyle thinks it's getting lame and far-fetched. I laughed about the far-fetched part. It's a tv show and it's always been that to me! What other shows starting in the next few weeks anyone is excited about?????
Anyway..here is my post copied from our blog... (I haven't figured out how to make the pics all line up though, they are all jumbled on my computer, but hey, they are there)
Well, we all went to Church yesterday. Gavin was quite the hit!! He looked so cute in his little newborn outfit. We even went out to lunch to celebrate a good friends 29th birthday.
More pics of the past few days.....
