October

Baby Beluga (the other nickname just wasn't sticking for me) loves to do EVERYTHING that Big Sis does. It's pretty cute. 

Sometimes Big Sis wants a lot of hair things in her hair at the same time. We try to make things work. This hair-do got a little crazy.

Handsome had a birthday! Big Sis wrapped up a pair of her socks, dance slippers, and a bouncy ball for him (and I forgot what she put in there, so Dad's face was pretty hilarious when he opened it). We gave him Spot It Jr and a gigantic bag of his favorite cereal.

Playing train! "All aboard!"

Handsome's birthday decorations that we left up till November.

Great Grama J gave us some Halloween money so we bought a pumpkin puppet for Baby Beluga, 

and fairy wings for Big Sis. 

Sunday shoes are great for just wearing around the house.

Our epic trunk for our ward trunk or treat! Probably the most coordinated we will ever be. Everyone was encouraged to do a carnival type game at their trunk so we did a ring toss.

Carving pumpkins!

This is for Great Grama J! I finally made your rib recipe! I don't know why it's taken me so long but they were delicious. Now you just need to remind me exactly what rib sauce you use.

End of November

Welcome to our new blog! 

We ran out of picture space on our other blog, and since that's kind of the point of our blog we decided we would just start a new blog. The other option was to pay Google monthly for more space, and we decided we didn't really want to do that right now. 

Maybe someday, but not now.

So here is part 2 of our lives, beginning December 2012. And I'll get the picture up top figured out soon. I realize it's ridiculously huge.

This kiddo LOVES the Wizard of Oz. 

She loves her book, Toto dog, movie. 

She asked for ruby shoes slippers the other day. 

She told me she wanted me to leave her door open during nap time so she could see munchkin land (the loft). 

Tonight as I was helping her get settled in bed she said "No cowardly lions in here. No wicked witches in here. No Dorthy or Totos in here." 

And sometimes she says she's Dorthy.

Getting better at pedaling her trike wheels.

Still working on steering, though.

Watching the video Dad took of her riding her bike on her own.

We upgraded our little 3 foot tree to a big one! We have our little one up in the loft with most of the kid friendly ornaments on it. The big tree has the rest of the kid friendly ornaments on the bottom, obviously. Big Sis likes to rearrange them occasionally.

We recently got some Melissa and Doug puzzles and they sent us a free gift with them--this cool turtle bubble blower.

I think this is the first time I've ever caught spit-up in action on camera. Thought I'd share it with you. In case you need some spit-up in your life. :)

I know I post a picture of these every year but I just love them. One of my favorite decorations of all time. I finally put them away yesterday.

This is Big Sis "making orange juice" in a little Christmas pitcher using the lights on the tree. Pretty original. I'de never had Christmas light orange juice till now!
