Deck the Tree!

So excited to decorate the tree!
Placing the star...

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care.

Teamwork

My Boys

This morning I went and picked out the tree and couldn't wait for Christopherto get home tonight to decorate! It's kind of one of the only things we truly enjoy doing together. I was going to do it last friday while he was gone and he got a bit offended! I'm glad I waited though. We had a great time. Logan was in on the fun too! If I have to say it myself I think we have a pretty good looking tree(nothing like Debby's of course!).

Newman Family Thanksgiving

Lovin him some Aunt Kate!

Silly Sofi!

Today was our get together with Nana Susan's side of the family. We had great food as always and good company too. We actually made it through dinner without a major catastrophe which is amazing. Christopher was missing but we did manage to get a family picture while Kristin and AJ were here.

Park Time With Auntie Kristin

Logan spent some time with Aunt Kristin at the park this afternoon. He showed her how we feed the ducks, throw the leaves and slide down the slide! Aunt K is so much fun!!!

The Howell Family Tradition

Today we went to the Aunt Helen's farm for the annual Thanksgiving get together. This is probably a little over half of the whole group...some were not able to attend. We also had a little shower from that side of the family for AJ and Kristin. A good time was had by all!

New Chair

Logan is soooo funny. It has been quite the trying couple of weeks...Daddy has been busy working overtime and also moving Grandma Lori closer to us and of course working on the truck! After taking it to the dealership for a diagnostic exam Daddy was finally the hero today and fixed the problem(saving us about $400). Yay, Daddy!

Logan loves this little wooden rocking chair pictured above. I had thought that one of my great grandpas had built it...come to find out my parents purchased it at Lords Acre(a church bazaar where donated items are sold to raise money for the church). They aren't sure who but know one of two men that could have made it. I loved this little chair growing up and it's so fun to watch Logan love it too!

Fall Zoo Day...

So we weren't really sure when we started out this morning if it was going to be warm enough for the zoo...forecast said 68...the truck said 40. But, by the time we had errands run the sun was shining so we set off for our favorite place!

Right after lunch Logan fell and bonked the side of his head pretty good. We thought we might have to leave but he came around. SO, we spent our time indoors at the jungle and the amphibian/reptile place...neither of which we have ever visited more than twice.

We are struggling with our vehicles right now. Prayers would be appreciated! Hopefully we can outlast this little hardship without wanting to hurt each other. Poor Logan is 0-90 these days. We are happy and content then we are throwing ourselves on the floor and screaming like a spoiled brat...no idea how that happened!

A Day At The Park

Here's my favorite pic of the day(I saved the best for last!)

Today we went to the park to do a photoshoot for a friend...butI just couldn't help but take some precious pics of my little darling...I swear I have the world's cutest kid!

Who's There?

Mom only had to work until three today so Aunt Kati came over to spend some time with Logan while she(Kate) was doing laundry at Nana's. Logan is so fun to watch around my sister and I. We look enough alike that he just gets this really confused look on his face. He was a sour puss today but one thing is for sure....he loves his Aunt Kate! She even watched him while mommy ran errands!

My We Are Busy!

So tired!
Pics with Sofi!

Adorable girl...

Well it has been a crazy week and the weekend is no better! This morning Logan slept until 7:15. What a treat for mommy! Then we ran down to a craft showto support Nana and her mission trip fundraising. Then it was back to the house to take My cousin's little girls pics. I took the dog to the vet while Logan napped. There was just enough time to get a nap in before lunch and the Piggies and Paws party at Abbys.

My goodness the Piggies and Paws are sooooo cute. They take your childs foot or handprints then turn them into wallart. I will post a pic when I get mine. I will be having a party in late January/early February so let me know ifyou are interested and want an invite!

Growing Boy

You might know your child has outgrown his infant robe when.....

his butt sticks out of the back and the tie will hardly tie!
My sweet boy

Always lovingh is bath time!

Fall Zoo Day

Yesterday we took advantage of the 75 degree November weather and took the kids to the zoo. We hada great time as always. The female lioness hasbeen off exhibit for about a month and a half and we'vebeen wondering why. On Sept. 28th she had a cub! They have a live camera set up in her den so you can watch her and the cub...too cool!

The kids got to pet a hairless rat named Daphne at animal encounter. They weren't scared at all, as usual! It was beautiful day with great friends!

Zach Brown Band

Here's a pic from the concert. We didn't stay the entire time. It had its good moments butI really wasn't impressed with the guys that opened for them. We had a good time at least and the boys had fun with Nana and Papa.

Yay for Music!

Yay for Taylor Swift!
I love to dance...

Fun news to share...Mommy and Daddy are having a date night going to go see Zach Brown Band. Aunt Kati and her boyfriend are coming too! Nana and Papa are watching the boys. Logan has been so wired today. He is either laughing or screaming and throwing a fit. These teeth coming in are evil! His poor gums were
bleeding this morning. I don't blame the kiddo one bit. Hope every has a great night!

Playdate

Seemy evil teeth coming in?

Itsy Bitsy Spider

Tickle, tickle

Awww....sweet kisses

Yesterday we had a playdate with Payton. It was too windy to do anything fun outside so we just stayed in! Today Payton came over while Abby had an appt. then Steve and I went to Wichita for a little Mommy/daddy time. We had a great lunch at On the Border, picked up our wedding rings that were being repaired, went and got our feet done(Steve's first time!) then I had a hair cut. It wasa great little pamper day.

Logan is getting eight, yes you read right EIGHT teeth in all at once. He'll be happy one minute then crying the next. I have never seen him this cranky. I keep trying to stay positive. Mabye he will get them all in then not have teething crankiness for quite awhile. I think the next month might be HELL though!
