Scoby Thanksgiving

The weekend of November 21st Ben & Christina (and a cute baby belly) were home for an extended weekend. We took that chance to celebrate- Thanksgiving, Christmas, baby shower & Pops birthday.

Here's the weekend in pics:

Cuddly bear in the hay

Just one of the things Isaac was thankful for this Thanksgiving: hay. He spent a lot of time at the firepit and a loved playing with the itchy hay.

Six Months



6 months, one half year old. Amazing.
1. You never cry, not when you are hungry, not hardly ever. The one time when you will cry and cry hard is when you get startled or scared- your bottom lip pokes out, big tears come and it's sad and oh, so cute!
2. You are close to sitting up.
3. You aren't really a fan of cereal yet but we've only tried 5 or so times.
4. Toes are good, very good.
5. You like to be up close, your face right up in Mommy or Daddy's face.
6. You are finally on a pretty good schedule. 7-7:30 bedtime, (you wake up to nurse at 2am ish), wake up around 6:30am, nap at 9am and then again at 1. Thank you Isaac, Mommy thrives on a schedule and I know you do too!
I love you baby boy, happy six months!

Highly Recommend

Mpix. Heard of it? If you haven't- I would highly recommend this company. Straight out of the heartland of KS- Pittsburg. It's a photo company. They do a variety of things- they print custom products, they do gallery wraps, they do framed pics, they will print a pic on a board- all of these I have had done and they are quality! Mpix ships in record time- it's amazing how fast their stuff comes and it's packaged with care!

SNOW!





November 16th, 2009 ~ first snow fall of the winter season! We woke up to about 2 inches on the ground and it's coming down with full force! Beautiful, just beautiful.
Audrey was outside at 8:30am this morning- she just couldn't wait to get her hands and mouth on some white powdery snow!

Christmas & BD Shopping

I had some money to spend that I received for my birthday from Nana and Great Nana - so I went shopping this evening. I bought the necklace on the right. Pretty, huh? Might be a good gift for that special mom out there- yes, you can add charms too on an as needed basis. :-)

I also just bought 6 Christmas gifts online! ALL my amazon purchases had FREE SHIPPING ~
gotta love Amazon!

Halloween

I couldn't resist sharing more:
Here's our Hotdog. He was a Hotdog on Friday...

and a lion on Saturday.
Our spider. On the floor are the ghosts (suckers) we made and handed out to our trick or treaters.

We worked for a good couple weeks on the ghosts. Audrey had fun putting some faces on- which looked more like a blob of Sharpie.

This was Pops costume and Audrey thought it was pretty cool.

Halloween family pic.


Oh, all the choices!
Our finished product. Perry the pumpkin with a smirk for a smile.

Audrey wanted nothing to do with the guts from the pumpkin.
