Just a few...

If you haven't noticed, when Carter's with Teague the bath is blue - with Landon the bath is red - and with Ave the bath is this lovely yellow urine/pickle juice color. All  their favorite colors of course! They had a really good time though. Look at his big dimple smile!

Mom found this awesome hat and shirt for Ave at Target when she was there for a coding conference. The shirt glows in the dark - very cool. She looks hilarious in this hat too. I still am not sure what to do for her about Halloween. We have a cute bee costume, but she told me bees are mean. So then she wanted to be a witch (I thought they were mean too but what do I know?), and her latest idea is a girl tree. I asked her what a girl tree is, and she explained to me like I was incredibly stupid that it's a brown tree. What?

She made me put eight ponytails in her hair the other day. She looked really cute actually - she can pull it off!

My little Teaguers loves when Auntie Erica tickles him. He laughs and laughs. Ave loved this shirt on him too (from Auntie Kelsie). We watched ET a couple weeks ago, and she talks a lot about ET and Elliot.

Look at her outfit! She did not want to get out of her pajamas on Friday, but her pants were wet. So pajama shirt, Minnie mouse pants, crazy hair, and her yellow fast shoes. She went to KMart like this with Erica and me. Luckily she was wearing a coat so no one could really see the craziness!

I found Carter some Dinosaur Train pajamas at KMart. He loves them! They are pretty funny - especially the feet. I like this picture of all the boys hanging out together Saturday morning.

Teague's new favorite toys are the buckets in Carter and Ave's room. He just likes to sit there and completely empty them one toy at a time (see all the cars by his feet). He's very methodical. He has to get the job done.

Grandma got the Halloween decorations out. Ave was in heaven. She loved all of them...the little ceramic ET by the Haunted House, all the window stickers, and the Happy Halloween banner. She liked this little headband too! She's very excited for Trick or Treating!

Kind of a washed out picture of her putting up the window stickers. She even remembered how to spell BOO (because it was on the butt of Teague's pajamas the day before)!

I  really don't have many pictures. We had a bunch of sick kids. It seems like everyone has a cold/ear infection. Teague really doesn't like his medicine either! He does like food however, puffs especially that he can grab off the table in his hippo seat.

Last but not least, crazy Carter and Kyle. They were wrestling (actually all the kids were attacking him) half the night. When I tried to get a picture, Carter kept covering up Kyle's face with his head. It was pretty funny. Look at Ave checking out more Halloween stuff in the background.

Fun Fall

Lando's turn for bath time with Teague! I like that the big kids are all excited to have their time with the baby in the bath. They are all usually so nice to eachother.

Look at this little maniac! He thinks he is a really big boy who can go anywhere he wants to now...and he pretty much can!

He loves this bouncer now than he ever did when he was strapped in. It's much cooler to just check it out from the bottom. Ave was reading books to him, but he wasn't paying much attention. He's a man of action now!

My poor girl threw up at daycare on Wednesday. I took the afternoon off, and we hung out. We played Hi Ho CherryO, Candyland, and Sorry. We also colored. It was kind of a fun day! I like how she's wearing Erica's headband backwards too.

3 clean kids after a bath. They're pretty cute I think!

I just really like his silly little face in this picture!

Isn't weird how water bottles are the funnest toy ever for dogs and babies? Teague had so much fun switching this from hand to hand and turning it all around...and drooling on it of course!

Ave is really the best sister a boy could ask for. She just loves Mr. Teagle Beagle. Here she is tickling him, and they were both laughing and laughing.

What a nice Daddy! Even though he hates the smell of nail polish, he painted Ave's toenails for her while I was feeding Teague.

We went to Great Harvest Saturday morning for breakfast. Teague loved his bites of pancake. He's starting to get the hang of chewing stuff.

Ave looked magnificent while she ate her breakfast and Carter's leftovers! She wanted to wear her princess dress up clothes and one of my headband things. She got many compliments!

It was such a beautiful day. We were going to go swimming, but it's October already and still nice! We better get to Clark's Park while we can.

Teague was not sure about the grass at first. Then he decided to try and eat some sticks and leaves - that's always fun!

3 kids on the tire swing. It's perfect - they balance eachother out nicely.

What a happy little guy I have!

These striped pajamas from Terri Jo are hilarious - I love them!

The legs crossed are cute too! Time to go for the dog toys!

The full outfit - she is such a silly girl. This is what she told me the other morning, "Mom when I color for a super long time, I lose all my energy". Then she ate a gogurt to get the energy back!

We went to Cormac's 1st birthday party at East. Mr. Foley had the gym all set up with tons of things for little kids to play with. They all had a good time. So did the adults - we played volleyball!

There's the birthday boy with Nikki. He did a great job on his pumpkin cake - I missed his smile though!

Grandma and Poppa came back from Yellowstone with some cool stuff for the kids. You can't tell, but Carter's flashlight can make a moose, a bear, a wolf, or an owl. It's pretty cool. He loved it!

Back on time!

We love the Crayola color changers for the bath. It doesn't stain at all, and look what lovely colors we get! These three are usually quite good in the bath. They have a good time!

After Ave and Landon got out, we decided to try the good old bath seat for Teague (since he likes to sit up now). He loved it! Carter wanted to stay in with him and even let Teague eat a color change car!

What nice brothers! We were all so happy Teague was having such a good time.

He always has to be chewing on something or I could have gotten a big Teague smile. I keep waiting for a tooth (because he slobbers more than any kid ever), but nothing so far!

He is a splashing fool! He makes the funniest face when I rinse his hair too. It's kind of like, "What is that? Should I cry? No, let's splash".

Lando is in that awesome hair stage again where it sticks straight up. It's so funny to wash his hair and then Carter's. Their hair could not be more different!

We made pastys last Sunday for Carl and Jenny's visit. We had some leftover crust, so I got all domestic. It happens maybe once a year. Here is my first cherry pie. I tried the lattice since that's how Grandma Vivian always made hers. Not great, but not bad!

We also made some very tasty little apple tarts. Ave was in charge of brushing butter on them, and Kyle sprinkled on some cinnamon sugar. Delicious!

This boy is getting too big too fast. He can now go up the stairs in our living room and from there, anywhere he wants. He usually heads to Carter's room, but sometimes the bouncer distracts him!

Game night! Game night is always fun, but this one was a doozy. We played until 12:45am! Dad and Carl have very similar senses of humor. It's funny to listen to them!

It was nice to see you as always Carl and Jenny - we're glad you get to visit twice a year now. Hope your trip to Spokane went great!

Wow...what else can I say? Kyle and Kyle had a good time!

Saturday had no volleyball games, so it was a swimming day! These guys all love to swim luckily and afterwards...they got McDonalds. Our new McDonalds opened up on Friday (the old one burned down about 3 months ago). They were quite happy with their nuggets, fries, and chocolate milk.

We set up the hippo chair this weekend too. Teague thought he was really cool swinging his legs at the big table! He also choked down a few bites of a baby dinner (vegetable chicken), and picked up a couple Puffs.

Time to jump! He loves to jump whenever. He likes to jump on your lap, on the floor, and especially in the jump-a-roo. Sometimes Ave jumps in front of him and he laughs and laughs. He's a good boy! I'm just glad to see him happy. He went to the doctor Wednesday and had an ear infection. That explains the not sleeping. He was so so sad.

Last but not least, here's Kyle laughing at Ave singing "Happy Birthday to Daddy" over and over again. We had Kyle's belated birthday dinner last night (chicken, vegetables, brown rice, and Mom's delicious peanut sauce) and a red velvet cake. As you can see, Erica managed to get 31 candles on there too!

Finally!

I'm back! I have a new camera and so far I really like it! These first five are from the old dead camera. My big Teagle Beagle really likes to stand up (with the help of his buddies, Abb and Jord).

Ave brought her beautiful doll "Tangled" to daycare for Show and Tell. She said everyone liked it a lot.

Just a handsome sleeping man picture. They look so peaceful. Sometimes Teague laughs out loud when he's sleeping, makes me wonder what he's dreaming about.

He's probably dreaming about his silly sister. Everything Avery does makes him laugh. She just adores him and can't leave him alone!

This is the first picture with my new camera - a crazy Carterman. He was being some kind of dinosaur here I'm pretty sure. He switches off between that and Transformers. He's so funny. The other night the kids were playing the "Sleeping Sleeping" game, and when they woke up they had to be zebras. Landon and Ave were galloping around making Zebra noises, and Carter just laid on the floor. I said, "Carter, you're supposed to be a zebra", and then he said, "I am. A crocodile got me"!

I was trying the camera out in the dark. Ave was all tucked in and ready for bed. I love when she falls asleep with her hands behind her head like that!

My little Teaguers was 7 months old on September 13th. I can't believe how big he's getting. He sits up now, he crawls everywhere, he's trying some puffs, and he can pull himself up the stairs in our living room. What a big guy!

Lando was showing off the Ben 10 watch while Erica was making Teague laugh for me. The boys love that show. I think Carter might want to be something from it for Halloween. We'll see!

These are so funny. Friday was such a nice day (and my husband's birthday!) that we took some pictures outside. Trying to get 4 kids to smile nice is pretty much impossible, but so fun!

I like this outtake!

I love this one! If you take enough pictures (and bribe them with popsicles), you can get a good one!

Teague was making the silliest facest when I was playing with him Saturday night. Of course as soon as Kyle got the camera that ended! Still a cute guy though.

He can sit up forever now. I'm glad because for awhile he didn't like it at all! I just love him! There will be more pictures. We'll be back on schedule now hopefully.
