Grandpa

Yes, I have Christmas music at the top of my playlist. I know it is early, but I just love Christmas music. I figured I would get in the spirit early!

When I think of Christmas one of my favorite memories is going to midnight mass and listening and watching my Grandpa sing in the Choir. He LOVED to sing. He would get all dressed up with his suit and clip on tie :) and was so excited to get to church. It has been almost a year since his passing. I miss him very much (and my grandma's too). So, the Christmas music is for you Grandpa. I am sure you are singing up in heaven. Love ya!
One of my last visits with him. Isn't he just so cute :)

I am glad Sam got to meet him. He liked walking around their room with my Grandpa's walker.

This was my Grandpa's 90th Birthday. He and my Grandma lived very long lives. This was the last time I saw my Grandma. I think my daughter looks a little like her. Same eyebrows. And they share the same middle name...Genevieve.

Thanks for listening...to me and the Christmas music!

Katie's First Steps and Dance Party USA!

Katie took her first steps!!! (Novemeber 10th) She has become very daring ever since. She will be all over on foot in no time!

We were having fun this morning...Dance Party in Sam's room. Here are a few more videos!!

We listened to "No more monkey's jumping on the bed" Sam really liked that one. Sorry it goes in and out. That is not you, it is the camera!

And we listened to "If your Happy and you know it". Katie liked the part where you nod your head! :)

And I will close with a few cute pictures, just because I can!

Sam had is Adnoieds out last week. I just love this picture in the room before he went to have it done. They are watching TV. Katie is doing her classic head tilt and Sam is just cheesing!

Sam and Katie got a visit from their cousins Lexi and Lindsay and Memaw and Papa. I just think it is so cute how they are lined up at the window! Get well soon Aunt Amy :)

Just think this is a cute picture how she is sitting on her new seat that she loves! Thank you Jill, John and Dean (and family) for such an awesome Birthday gift!Just love my babies smile. It makes me smile :) Enjoy!

Birthday/Halloween Party 11-2-08

This past weekend we went to my cousin Jill's house in Fenton Missouri to celebrate Katies birthday and we decided to let the kids dress up one last time and have some more Halloween fun! Thanks again Jill for everything. We had tons of fun!!

This is all the kids getting ready for the scavenger hunt with the adult they picked to help!

Looking through all the goodies they got afterwards!

Most of the kids all dressed up for one last time. Missing a little monkey (my nephew Ben who was to scared of THE HULK, and a cute little skeleton (my cousin Jill's littlest Max who was taking a nap).

Katie playing in all the fun leaves we dont have at our house b/c we only have one little tree out front. It is cute for pictures but I would not want to rake them all :)

Halloween 2008

Here are a few pictures of the kids all dressed up with friends and family! I have to say they are the cutiest police offer (how Sam says it!) and ladybug I have ever seen!

This is Sam and his friend Joshua. True Hero's...firefighter and police officer :)

I can not believe I did not take a picture of Sam and his cousins Lexi and Lindsay on Halloween. That is who he went Trick or Treating with. :( Well, hope everyone had a great Halloween!
