Can we just talk about these cheeks, Please?

I think that these might just be the most kissable cheeks in whole world. (Yes, all four of them. I am a sucker for the dimple :) I think I might be in heaven.

I can see clearly now

A couple of posts ago I mentioned a camera that I wanted to get. Well, two days after I posted, my camera broke and I had to get a new one. Shoot ;) Luckily, David's co-worker has a side business that needed people to hand address Christmas cards and Voila! My DREAM camera. Oddly enough, after doing research for a week I decided on a different camera and I am so pleased with it. I finally feel like I can really express myself with this camera and can't wait to fill up an entire memory card with photos of my favorite things!









....And speaking of Emeline, cause I usually am, she is now five months old. Here are the stats for the sake of records:

Officially rolling over whenever she wants to. She loves to grab her feet and talk to them. She is loving solid food and cries when I stop feeding her. She would be eating all the time if she had the choice. Unfortunately her tummy doesn't agree with that notion and we have to give her pretty limited amounts. She isn't spitting up as much but is filling the void with her drool. She is still teething like crazy and sleeps even less than she did before. The other day she threw up on me at church and I had to go wash my hair in the bathroom sink.

Emeline has the BEST smiles in the world. She smiles at most every one and could get anything she wants when she does.

She can grabs things really well now and sits up a little better with support. Most of the time she prefers standing though, and my biceps are really benefiting!

We love our Girlette the Squirrelette!

Halloween

Here is our Kitty. My Camera battery died so I have been using my old one and it doesn't take motion shots very well. Since Emmy is in constant motion, none of her photos were in focus so I included several so you can get the idea, Mom. She was adorable as always Ü David just carried her around all night and she loved it. She carried the "mom and dad" bucket so even David and I got candy.
My two crazies! Caleb made everyone laugh with his chicken impersonation. He was so funny waddling down the street. Some of the bags that we stuffed his costume with kept getting stuffed between his legs and that made him waddle even more. He kept running to catch up with Jake and I about died laughing. His joke this year was:
Why did the chicken cross the road? To show the opossum how it's done.
Jake surprised us all by coming up with his own joke on the spur of the moment. His was:
Why did Batman cross the road? To show Robin how to jump.
He was very pleased with himself for making up his own joke and didn't even flinch or act shy when he said it. Sometimes he is so confident that it startles me. He acts so shy a lot of the time but I know it is just his decision to and not something he does because he is afraid. What a kid! Everyone asked him what he was and he replied, "BatDashNinja" Thus prompted my response of, "Batman, Dash from Incredibles, and a Ninja". That seemed to settle it. I think my favorite part about his costume was his snow boots. We told him to get his shoes on and he came out wearing his boots instead. They both got hoards of candy and Jake convinced me to carry his bag for him in trade for five pieces of candy of my choice. I don't blame him. It was pretty heavy. He wanted to run around like Dash the whole night.
Pumpkin carving was my favorite part, like every year I guess. I am not huge on Halloween, but if I could be a professional pumpkin carver, I would. Our wonderful friends grew the boys some pumpkins in their pumpkin patch and scarred their names on the side as they were growing. It was so cool! They even made one for "Batman" which I thought was so thoughtful and Jake was thrilled. Caleb carved his whole pumpkin himself this year and he did a fabulous job.



Caleb had a costume parade at school and all the parents were able to go and watch. It was fun to see all the kids laugh as he strutted around. He totally got into his role. I think he is such a class clown at heart. What a silly kid!

Jacob loved his cupcake from the cupcake walk at the ward Trunk or Treat. It was well attended as ever, especially since they had to postpone the World Series game because of rain. Happy Halloween!
