Bath video

Enjoy the imagination of Boo! Warning: bare butt in the bath.

October fun!

We got out the Halloween decorations as Grandma and Poppa's house the other night. Ave looked smashing in this hat that Grandma wore last year.

Wednesday was freezing! It was also National Walk to School Day. Daddy was a trooper...and probably looked a bit odd in his shorts to the other parents.

Teague has decided these are the coolest pajamas ever. He likes to walk around in them and yell "Bones"!

Ave figured I might as well have a picture of her pajamas also because horses are "awesome".

3 kids in the tub. If only I could get them to pose like this when they are clothed!

We went up to drop off a present to Michael Peck on Friday. Teague has never been in a playpen before! He thought it was kind of fun!

Avery really likes to play with Molly. We were only there for an hour, but they had a blast!

They were building phones with some Magneatos. Those toys are the best things ever. We play with them every single week!

Avery had Kyle put all the Magneato balls in the pocket of his sweatshirt. We had just read that the Daddy Penguin incubates the eggs...so that's what's going on in this picture!

We were at Silver Bow on Sunday for Connor and Austin's birthday party. They actually fixed the place up...new ski ball machines that actually work!

Liam is getting so big. His first birthday is this week and his party is next Sunday. He looked so cute toddling around the place.

Austin turned 7! He was great about thanking everyone after he opened his presents, and he was excited about everything!

Connor is 9! I couldn't get a smile, but he really enjoyed himself too. They are good boys!

Teague thinks Landon is awfully cool. He tried to make all the same noises as Lando while they were driving together.

He's a handsome guy. I got him a new dinosaur shirt, and he looked good.

Teague was a tired boy. Luckily he had Jordan to snuggle with in the race car.

Ave is a goofball...look at this silly cake face.

Teague was having a good time "counting" tickets while his brother raced.

Last but not least...Ave told me to make sure to get a picture of this clownfish that she caught in the bathtub. I have a crazy video of her to put up too. Hope no one minds bathtub videos.

 

 

Wheels on the bus!

Here's Teagie singing Wheels on the Bus. He's so good. My favorite part is when he says the Aunties on the Bus also say "Shhh" with the Mommies!

Silly Silly kids

Teague has been jumping a lot lately (preferably naked). He does get some air! Then he lands on his butt - it sounds terrible...but he loves it!

This fool covered himself in post-its one night before bed. He is a weirdo, but a superstar also.

Teague has taken a great interest in my books lately. I think he's a little young for Stephen King myself, but I do hope he reads it someday.

Ave decided she better read some of my books also. These two have excellent taste!

They took my camera at practice one day. I had 50 pictures of shoes, the floor, and these faces!

Here's another beautiful one!

On Friday Kyle was off. We took Ave and Teague for a picnic at Stodden. We obviously got some food at Burger King - here's King Daddy and Teague.

And Queen Mommy and Ave. We had a good time.

After we picked up the Kindergarten boys, Teague fell right asleep. That means it's a good time for painting. They are quite the artists.

He had a lovely python painted blue...then he went abstract and painted swirls over the entire thing. He looks proud of his work!

Peek-a-boo Teagie! He loved to get covered up by Daddy.

Saturday we watched Tech's double overtimewin over Southern Oregon. It was amazing! The kids were super good too. Carter was very interested in the game and rang his Tech cowbell a lot!

On Sunday we had a fun little bike ride to Clark's Park. We have to enjoy this beautiful weather while we can! It's supposed to snow Wednesday! Noooooo!

She wanted to make a silly face for me - mission accomplished!

These two posed for me in front of the petunias. The frost is coming so we had to take a summer memory picture!

A quiet week at home.

Ave is quite obsessed with her tap shoes. She would wear them everywhere if I let her. I told her if she wears them outside they won't tap anymore. It's a little white lie.

My big boy is a big goofball.

I think he was going to hit me...he sure looks happy about it too. He winds up now whenever something is not his way. Timeouts are just starting.

These two are such buddies. Every Friday is just a fun time for them to play together and be silly. The Stand is right behind them. I just finished it again. I always get back into Stephen King around volleyball season. I get a lot of reading done on the bus.

We bought lots of art stuff at KMart the other day. We were running low on paper and markers. Teague has been quite into coloring lately, especially Mickey Mouse pictures. He knows all the people on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. We had to get a whiteboard for Teagie too. He found Carter and Ave's the other day.

I always bring them 20 minutes early on Friday to pick up Carter and Landon. They love to play there.

Peek-a-boo Teaguers!

The big kindergarten boys. They were too busy looking at all their new friends to look at me. Carter introduced us to Elliot, Kasey, and Gavin last week. I'm glad he's meeting people!

Teague has been a little chef lately. He loves this kitchen. He cooks everyday. Here he is flipping an egg!

He also really likes bath time...even when there is no water in the tub. There are a ton of pictures of Teague because Ave and Carter were on their Yellowstone adventure this weekend...see below.

He's wiping! He really wants to go potty. He sits on it everytime his diaper is off, but nothing has happened yet!

Carter asked me to help him draw some marine life from his new National Geographic Oceans book that he got last week at the Emerson book fair. He colored everything in. He's getting much more careful about coloring in the lines. Here we have a manatee, a hammerhead shark, a dwarf shark, a dolphin, a jawfish, a jumping Adelie penguin, and a seahorse.

Ave wanted to wear all black today. Kyle was calling her Avery Cash. We also went with these ponytails because she could do somersaults in them. Today was tap/tumbling day. She loved it again. She was just showing Grandma second position out in the front room!

Yellowstone trip with Grandma and Poppa

Mom and Dad took Carter, Landon, and Ave on a little fall trip to Yellowstone this weekend. I had a JV tournament in Belgrade and Kyle had to work. Mr. Teague is still pretty little, so he stayed home and played with wonderful Jordan. Thanks Jocko!

Avery passed out in the giant bed.

They loved the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center of course. Dad told me Carter was sharing animal facts left and right!

Getting a closer view.

The playground is always a highlight.

My Googles is so pretty!

They told me all about this owl because his name was Tegan, kind of like Teague of course.

Hanging out in the wolf den!

Feeding time!

My Mom loves this tree. They always get a picture by it.

Our kids are so cute that some Japanese tourists asked if they could get a picture with them!

The geysers were still stinky but Ave likes them. That's what she told me. They are cool colors.

Throwing rocks is probably always going to be their favorite part!

On their way up to the waterfall.

They are such little hams. I'm so glad they were good and had so much fun!

This waterfall is awesome!

The Bald Eagle was "Isis", I think.

The fall colors were awesome. Teague is going to go for sure next time. I missed them, but I'm so glad they could hang out with Grandma and Poppa for some fun!
