Chuck E Cheese Birthday!

I decided to do one more catch up post! :)

A little girl that I babysit sometimes had her birthday party at Chuck E Cheese right before Halloween. I got some cute pics so I thought I would share!


Kambria and Danielle(the birthday girl!) Danielle turned 3!!!
Kambria blowing her party blower at me :)
Kambria and Danielle playing with the blue screen and watching themselves on the tv screen

Eli got in on the blue screen action too! And he is showing off his standing skills!
This was Eli's first time actually being able to play at Chuck E Cheese! He is getting so big!

Stuck!

About a week ago I took this picture after hearing Eli whining but not finding him right away. Here he is under the table STUCK in the bottom of the chair! Of course I had to grab my camera, take a picture, and laugh a little before I helped him out. LOL!!! He still climbs through the chairs but doesn't get himself stuck anymore. :)

More Fall Fun!

I think this is my last catch up post!!!
About a month ago when the leaves first started falling off our tree in our backyard I took these pics of Kambria, Audrianna, and Madeleine. I LOVE THE COLORS OF FALL!!!!!!!!



Madeleine was starting to get really tired as shown in the picture below! Nap time!!!

While taking the pictures of the girls, Eli was taking a nap. He woke up right before we were going to go inside, so I had to take some of him too! I love his little Coug (WSU) jacket I found at Other Mothers!!!

Halloween brought out the Monkey in Eli and the Princess in Kambria

We started Halloween out by taking Kambria, Eli, and my niece Audrianna trick-or-treating around the neighborhood.

Kambria was the most beautiful Cinderella I have ever seen!!!!

Cinderella(Kambria) and Snow White(Audrianna) -Audrianna used Kambria's Snow White costume from 2 years ago. They were two beautiful princess'!

Eli was the cutest little monkey I have ever seen!!! Even cuter than Curious George!

After trick-or-treating we took Audrianna and my sister in-law home and met up with my parent's, Brandon, and Kaden

Kaden's costume was a reversible Spiderman (good spiderman-red and blue, and bad spiderman-black) He decided that he was the bad Spiderman. Look at those strong Spiderman muscles!!!
He's cuter without the mask!!!!!
For the last couple years we have gone to "Real Life Church" in Post Falls where they have a huge Halloween Party. There are tons of games and candy for the kids and everything is free!

What is Eli going to get into??? The candy wraper on the floor...or............

.......HIS SISTER'S CANDY!!!!!!:)

I wanted a picture of Kambria and Kaden together, but Kaden didn't want his picture taken at that point. Grandma is trying to get him to smile! :)

My Mom, Dad, and Jon waiting with Kambria and Kaden in the middle of the gym floor for the rest of the candy to be thrown in the middle and everyone to go for it! :) (kind of like an easter egg hunt without the eggs)

---notice my Dad wearing shorts! His rule is that he doesn't wear pants until November...only shorts!! :)

We had a pretty fun Halloween this year! I forgot to have a picture taken with me in it......I was a cowgirl, just as I am almost every Halloween! Maybe next year I will get more creative! :)

Halloween = Pumpkins

I still have a couple more catch up posts to do, but I figured I would at least post about Halloween since it is over and Thanksgiving is on its way!

Last Tuesday the kids and I went to my parent's house for our annual pumpkin carving and pizza night. Jon had a meeting and wasn't able to make it this year. It has been even more fun the last couple years since the kids are starting to get older and more into it!

mmmmm..........pumpkin goop!
The pumpkin eats up almost all of Kaden's arm! :)

My mom thought it would be fun to see if Eli likes pumpkin....raw.....the way this picture looks he doesn't look like he likes it, but he seemed to like it while he was licking/sucking on the scraper!

Eli's first pumpkin!

Kaden helped Grandpa K. poke the holes for the outline of the stencil

Kambria watching while I play "connect the dots" with the little carving knife

Our pumpkin masterpieces!.......

......and glowing in the dark^On each end is mine and my Dad's (I did a castle/mansion and my Dad did a silly pumpkin face)

The kids' pumpkins: Eli's basic pumpkin face, Kaden's skeleton, and Kambria's "Queen Crown"

Fall colors, smiles, and........tasty leaves???

I love the yellow leaves that one of our trees in front of our house produces in the fall! Every fall I look forward to taking the first fall leaf pictures in them!

Kambria, Kaden, and poor Eli being squished!

Kambria and Eli.......yes he is trying to eat the leaves!

Kambria throwing the leaves in the air!Eli thought it was funny!

mmmmmm......tasty! I didn't actually let him eat any, but I had to take a picture before I took it away.........although it was really hard to take them away since there were so many around him! EVERYTHING goes in his mouth!!!!!

Kaden throwing the leaves in the air!

Kambria loves to pick these flowers for me! :)

Eli on the move

Eli has mastered his crawling skills! Once in a while I will catch him crawling on his hands and feet and he loves to get up on his hands and feet and look between his legs......so cute!!!! I haven't caught a picture of him doing that yet, but I will post it as soon as I do.....hopefully! :) He has also gotten pretty good at pulling himself up to stand while holding on to something or someone! He is getting so big so fast!!!
