"Girls Can't Smell", Pumpkin carving and bottles

I just had to post how funny little kids are. Saturday, while carving pumpkins we were dancing around to an 80's compilation CD and Duran Duran's "Girls on Film" came on. Aidan was dancing around singing "Girls Can't Smell"...it was hilarious.

And just because I am too lazy to create another post - have to share that although my lazy daughter won't crawl, she DOES hold her own bottle now - something her brother NEVER would do...yay!!!! Maybe it is because she loves her "milk" more than he ever did...

Photo Craziness

After 4 days away for business, I came back and had camera craziness. God I love my kids! They, to me, are the cutest things alive. Especially sans clothing.


So here are some new pics where Aidan actually asked to have Makena sit next to him...amazing. Now he wouldn't share his toys in the tub...but that may be asking too much.

Makena is now 8 mos, still not crawling but oh so close! She is a large bucket of joy, so just takes a little more to get her mobile.

Pumpkins Pumpkins Everywhere

Can't believe we are here again...October and time to get pumpkins for halloween. Crazy I tell ya.

So last Saturday we headed out, bundled up, to get our pumpkins for this year. You really could look all day for that perfect pumpkin...

Aidan had fun looking at the animals and especially leading us all through the corn maze.

Puyallup Fair

Jim's dad (PopPop) and brother Tod came for a visit this past week. On Friday we went to the Puyallup fair...Aidan had a blast! He loves to see the horses and go on the rides.

Big Jim and Jim Jr worked on a closet conversion project most of the time and it turned out great!

Aidan loves spending time with PopPop and Tod, and Makena was so happy to meet the both of them for the first time!

Makena the Moose

So The Beast (aka Makena) had her 6 mos check up and she weighed in at a whopping 19lbs, 11oz (95%). She was 27 in long (75-90%). We all love her chubbas.

At this rate, she will be bigger than Aidan by the time she is 1 (and I mean bigger than he is now!). Let's hope not!

Two funny videos

was downloading more pics off the camera so Aidan could go at it again...and found these two videos from the other day I forgot to download...

Makena loves her Lilly doll so much she eats it.

And Aidan is a hip wiggler with his "oh yeah" dance.

Aidan...Ansel Adams Jr in the making?

So Aidan decided the other day that he wanted to take pictures...thank goodness for digital cameras! But amazingly some turned out pretty decent for a 3 year old. Sorry if this post seems big, can't figure out how to get rid of the empty space after fiddling with pics so many times!









He does like to take pictures of "things" - as you can see...and sometimes forgets he can't be so close!









Apparenly he likes feet.









And self portraits.
