November 09

Home Alone 2 was on TV this past weekend. The kids thought it was the funniest movie!

Just the start.........hopefully he won't take a year to train (like Mallory)

Mallory dressing herself.....what style!

practicing her name

before dance class

she is a natural dancer

Jump Inn, in Heidelberg

the kids had a blast.....now they ask us every weekend if we can go "jumping"

Our favorite park across the street

I love the Germans version of a teeter totter, it so much more practical

Pretty tree in the park

My future doctor

Brayden's favorites right now:

playing doctor

playing football, baseball or soccer

maybe........sports medicine??

Helping and Playing Around the house.....

Brayden loves baseball and football lately. This was taken right after church one Sunday. We walked into the house and Brayden saw there was a baseball game on tv, so he ran to get his glove and watch the game. I can't believe a two year old can be so into sports already! We will probably have a very athletic boy.

Mallory after church one Sunday afternoon. This is her favorite dress, $3 on WalMart's Clearance rack!!! Everytime I tell her we are going to church, she wants to wear her "flower" dress. It is great that she loves a good deal too!

I found this preowned on ebay. Ebay is going to be my new store now that I don't have all the thrift shops here. The bow in her hair I found on ebay too. 12 bows, solid colors for $14. Can't beat that.

Mallory loves to play with Montana lately. This is just one of the many things she gets him to do for her. Poor Montana.....he is such a trooper.

washing dishes.....one of their favorite things. Hopefully they still have fun when they get older. They love to help.

They got everything out on their own. I had to buy another step stool because they were fighting who would get it to help.

Halloween "09

Hope all of our friends and family had a great Halloween. We had a few different events to go to and dress up for. The kids had so much fun wearing their costumes. Mallory was a frog again this year and Brayden wanted to be a cow again, but it was really too small for him (it was 12-18mo outfit!) So at our first halloween party at playgroup he wore the cow costume....he could barely fit the hood. So after that I hid it so he only had one option........Mickey! He was a cute mouse too.

see how small the costume is?

food!

having some fun

the hood wouldn't fit

Carving our pumpkin

the finished project

Now on with my photo shoot!

Our FRG (Family Readiness Group) had a great Halloween Party for the families

The Halloween party was also a chili contest. The chili makers had to have a theme table too. The office where Billy works had a table, it was Pirates. They won best chili.

Trick or Treat night.....we made out with some good candy!

this guy really got into Halloween. He actually made Optimus Prime out of boxes, paint and aluminum foil, but I do think the mask was bought.....it had a cool voice effect. That must have taken him lots of hours of hard work. It was really cool costume. I had to take a picuture.
