Spooky Cookies...

Our family starting getting in the Halloween spirit by frosting cookies with some family. The kids enjoyed putting on as much frosting and sprinkles as they could on each cookie. Of course they would have ate them all if we would have let them. Jaren was a little sprinkle crazy =)

The Finger licking froster!

My little girl was to busy eating her Baby MUM MUMs to bother with cookies.

Eat at your own RISK!! This was one finger licking froster.

We Have A Climber!

Since Aubrey has been walking along the furniture, she has also decided to try and climb as well. She will push her BUMBO chair across the floor to get to something and then climb in it just to get a little taller. Next if turns into her little ladder and she try's to climb to a higher surface. Here is one of her climbing adventures I caught on my camera. Getting her BUMBO chair ready. Check Now it's in place. Check

Climb inside. Check Ok then I put down the camera to take her off the rocker. Safety first people.

Week 3...

Ok so I have been slacking a little, ok a lot in the posting area of my life. I have to admit. I will post some new pictures in the am. So do check back to see what my family has been up to. For now I just wanted to touch base on the Body After Baby Challenge. We are just starting week 3 now. I have lost just a little over 2 pounds during the last week. Not super great but still it's a start. I have been running on the old tread mill and boy does it feel good. Even though I'm not noticing a huge difference on the scale, I am starting to get the saggy jean butt look. I usually NEVER dry my jeans, but I have had to start drying them just to get them to shrink some. YES!!! So this next week our challenge is to work on eating from 2 different food groups at every meal. Check back with me next week to see what is going on with the challenge. Meanwhile you can go over to http://www.mamanotes.com/2009/10/body-after-baby-week-three.html and see what the program is all about. Wish me luck to a better week.

Under ATTACK!...

This was the first time Aubrey joined in on the boy's playtime. They were playing with some of Lukas's Star War guys when she decided to play along. They were fine with it until...

She attacked the good guy!

Storytime given by a 4 year old...

Lukas LOVES to read to Aubrey whenever he is given the chance. Of course his favorite book to read her is this Princess book or a book called, Pinkalicious. Aubrey must think he is a great reader because she will usually sit by him until he is tired of reading to her. I just love these pictures. If you haven't read Pinkalicious yet I recommend reading it or just give me a call and I'm sure I have a 4 year old who would love to read it to you. Lukas always shows her how do to the picture slides in the book.

Aubrey won't let him change the page.

Starting week 2 of challenge. This week our challenge is to walk or run more. For every 15 mins. we are out walking or running we earn 1 point. With a max of 4 points per day. I'm thrilled with this challenge because I already love to walk and I've started running on my tread mill. So far I've lost 3 pounds since last week. Pretty good right? I'm happy with my results so far, I was worried because I tend to eat when I'm stressed out. Since my husband has been gone hunting, let's just say it's been a little (OK a LOT) stressful around the house. If you want more info on this challenge just head on over to http://www.mamanotes.com/2009/10/body-after-baby-week-two.html. Until next week wish me luck!
