Scooping out the innards of the pumpkin

Wwwa-haha ha ha ha..

Rance and I got to go out to dinner last night without the kids thanks to Aunt Nancy. she volunteered to watch the kids while we went out. She recruited lots of help. Sounds like everyone had a pretty good time especially Cade. Avery did good until she got tired.

Rance and I ate at Texas Roadhouse and had a pretty good time.

Fun with Avery at the Table

Here is Mr. Cade helping me with Avery's bib. He can be quite the helper when he wants to be.


Here is a thumbs up on supper from Avery. Looks like supper was a success!

Cade wanted to sit by Avery at the table. They seemed to both get a kick out of it.

Tough enough to wear pink

One cool dude!


Carter sent these pink boots to our houe for Avery to grow into but Cade found them in the closet and insisted on wearing them to Aunt Jami's house to play with Carter.Cade and Carter are starting to play together very well. At least for a litte while, then of course they start to fight.

Here comes trouble!

Little Miss Avery has begun to master the art of crawling. Mostly she seems to think it is just a way to get to someone so they can help her do what she really wants to do... walk! She will get so mad and then as soon as you help her up to walk she looks all proud of herself and smiles a big smile. Over the weekend she figured out crawling, and how to get into a sitting position from laying down. Avery had a very busy weekend!

Pestering

Here is Charlie being pestered by Cade

Rance and Cade playing tractors so Cade won't pester me while I cook dinner

Avery bothering Cade while he is trying to watch a movie!

We tried to take a family picture this morning before Dee left. It sorta worked out. We are all in it!

Rance's mom Dee has been here all week attending a class in Billings. my mom came up for a quick visit before Dee took off for home this morning. We had a fun visit and best of all she got in lots of time with the kids even though she had homework to do.

Cade and Avery eight or so months old!

I took this picture of Avery and then realized I had one of Cade at about the same age in about the same pose! Avery has big news she has two teeth on the bottom that are peeking through her gums. She really wants to walk but is actually starting to crawl or something. I am going to have to get a videop of it posted it is pretty cute. It makes her mad because she just really wants to walk!

The Snow!

I know I know this is old news but I finally found my battery charger for my camera and have time to sit down and blog a little. What a great big snowstorm we had last weekend, Rance managed to get his truck and trailer stuck in the snow on Friday night and again on Saturday night so he was really over it. I didn't go anywhere from when I came home from work Thursday when the storm was blowing in until Monday afternoon a day after the storm blew out. The kids and I were tired of being cooped up in the house!

Cousins

Weekend update

I can't find the battery charger for my camera battery and the darn battery is DEAD! So I can't take any new pictures for my blog :( So I posted some pictures Landa sent me when they took the kids to the zoo. This weekend I am on call so it has been hanging out at the house for me and the family. So fay I haven't been called in!! We did go over to Wynne and Aaron's house for his and Gretchen's surprise birthday party. Gary Frank played his guitar and sang songs out at the Fandeks new firepit. Cade thought that was pretty cool. He was a tired little guy though as he fell asleep on the very short ride home in the car. Yesterday Cade had to go to Grandma's house. He cried and cried so I called my mom and she came and got him.. I thought maybe Cade would change his mind once it came time to leave with her but he was all too happy to go with Grandma. "Yeah Granma's house!" he shouted as he went out the door.

Friday we went down to moms house and hung out with Jess and Keenan or Keany as Cade calls him. Jami and her kids came down also. It was so beautiful outside. We all just sat outside and soaked up the beautiful weather while the older kids ran around the lawn.
