Couch Potato

Levi loves to snuggle under the blanket on the bean bag and watch TV with his sisters.

Blakeley

Just wanted to show off my cute new niece and the cute announcement that I might have made!

Stuck!

Levi got his chubby arm stuck in his piano. Ryan had to take some screws out to get his arm loose. Being a good blogging mom, I had to take pictures.

We have a walker!

Our CUTE school girls

Zoey
Pre-K
Miss Pala

Rylee
First Grade
Mrs. Thye


I wrote on Rylee's picture package for them to have her show her toothless smile...the photographer told her that her mom didn't want to see her teeth. I like how her pictures turned out so I don't want to risk retakes so I took a couple toothless grins on my own.

Fall Colors

Ryan and I went to Anchorage this past weekend. The drive was just gorgeous with the sun shining and the fall colors.

Our Lady Bug!

Here is our cute Avery Lee...Don't let the smile fool you...she is a trouble maker!

Levi, 15 months

Our sweet boy is 15 months already. We went to the DR today for his check up. He weighed in at 30 lbs 4 ozs. He is 33 inches tall and his head is 19 3/4 inches (full of brain):) She checked his leg out and says it is fine. He just favors his right and needs work on the left. We are going to physical therapy twice a week until he is walking really well. That makes for a really busy schedule for me. He did take about 10 consecutive steps on his own today. He is making progress. He is still sweet as ever. I just love his crooked smile. He loves to blow kisses. He is quite the ladies man. He leaves the grocery store blowing kisses with alternating hands....too cute! He thinks he is Mr. America! :)

Sweat Shop

Anyone know the child labor laws in Alaska?? I have kids who love to weed (pick) vinyl for me and they are actually pretty good at it!! Zoey is REALLY good at it. She is very precise and wants it all to be great.

Miss Rylee

Rylee asked me today when I thought that she would be old enough for her own diarrhea...I am pretty sure she meant to say diary! :)

Kiddos

4 steps...6 steps

Levi is still not officially crawling and we noticed that he has trouble with his left leg when he tries to pull up and walk. He doesn't like to bend it or put any weight on it. (We are having it checked out. Will update about it when we know more.) We think it is a muscle shortening problem since he favors his right side. Last night, when we were at Garrett's birthday part, he let go of the coffee table and took 4 steps to my lap and then later he did the same but took 6 steps. We are excited for this to happen. He has been behind in some milestones.

Daddy's find

Ryan found this 4 wheeler on Craigslist for a great price. It didn't run when he bought it, but he went all through it and got it working like a champ. His girls are in heaven. Don"t worry...they wear helmets...just not for pictures.

Off She Goes!

Zoey begged her dad to take the training wheels off her bike. He finally did...and off she rode! She is such a big girl. She is so sweet. Her smile melts my heart and she is always thinking of others. She went through her book order from school and picked out things for all of her cousins and her sisters and brother. She makes our family special!

Camera Fun

Stitches

As promised, here are pictures of the stitches. She got them out last Friday and it is healing amazingly well. The way the body heals is such a miracle. We are blessed to have it work that way.
