FIELDTRIP

Today was Mason's first field trip of the year. They went to the fire station since this month is fire safety month. Mason had a blast learning about the firemen and what they do. He was a little nervous that the sirens might be turned on (I has to be sure to let the fireman know to inform me before this was going to happen so I could take my noise lovers outside!), but other than that he did great! He even volunteered to stand up in front of the class and try on the fireman's jacket. He was so excited to be the one that was chosen and was all smiles the entire time!

The group shot . . . sorry it's kinda fuzzy!


It's a perfect fit!

6 MONTHS . . .



Yes it is true, Daxon is 6 months old! How can it be? I took him in for his 6 month check up today and he is doing great! He now weighs 18 pounds 5 ounces (60%) and is in the 70% for his length (I don't remember the inches:) At 6 months old Daxon is such a happy baby! He loves bath time, his tongue (which is sticking out most of the time lately), baby food (especially oatmeal, rice cereal, pears and carrots) and of course his big brothers. He has 2 teeth and is working on his third . . . and we just absolutely adore him. I really can't imagine life without my sweet, easy going, content little guy!

TAGGED . . .

I have been tagged by a couple people so I figured I better go ahead and bore everyone with my quirks!

Rules: list 6 quirks and then tag 6 people . . .

Quirk #1: I love having everything clean and orderly around the house, but hate doing it!

Quirk #2: I can not finish the last bite of a sandwich. I don't know why but it always ends up staring at me from my plate and I feel like I should eat it, but just can't.

Quirk # 3: I don't like to get ready. You know the whole blow dry & style, then put on the makeup . . . but I always feel so crappy when I don't.

Quirk # 4: I need sleep! You would think after 3 kids I would be getting better with this one, but no. I could go sleep for 12 hours and still be tired :)

Quirk # 5: When I am watching TV or a movie or reading a book, I must be wrapped up in a blanket. It doesn't matter if it's 90 degrees outside, I'm not comfy without a blanket.

Quirk # 6: I can follow directions . . . but I really hate being told what to do. It seems like if someone tells me what to do, then I will do the opposite just to do it my own way.

Now that everyone has found out a few of my quirks, I tag Julie, Lauren, Anna, Alisha, Emma, & Lorinda (I know this tag has been going around for awhile so if you've already done it, or just hate tags, then just ignore!)

PUMPKIN PICKERS

The boys love love love helping in the garden, so when it came time to pick the pumpkins they were so excited!





We filled the wagon up and are still waiting for a few more of the BIG ones to turn orange (we are hoping before Halloween!) . . . and Griff thought he was so funny hiding behind the wagon every time I tried to take a picture:)
