Family Pictures...

My Little Man

These are just some random pics of Markie Mark that I love. And I swear he doesn't wear that sweater every day, it just looks like it! Soon there will be 2 babies, and he is getting big soo fast so I wanted to jot down a few things he is doing.

-Says, "ready set go" before everything. And loves to play hide and seek. (Under bed)

-Loves to draw with a pen, concentrates very hard well doing so.

-Wears a lego bucket on his head during nursery every week, says it is his hat.

-Wants to do everything himself. "No Mommy! I do it!"

-Loves the slides at the park, but still scared of the swings.

-Wants toast as soon as he wakes up. Then bites holes in it and looks through it.

-Fake laughs at anything and says, "That's Funny!"

-Watches the movie Cars and Pooh twice everyday and knows music in it.

-Thinks his nipples are eyeballs. LOVE IT.

-Loves to repeat what we say during prayer, then throws his arms up and let's out an "AMEN".

-In absolute LOVE/obsession with his crocks. Wears them in tub and to bed. (If I am too tired to fight) we put them on as soon as we wake up.

-Favorite person is Daddy. He loves to wrestle, do push ups, x box, football, and run with him.

-Has a little crush on the Shipleys. Sometimes I think he wants them to be his mom n dad.

-He calls my boobs...balls. Well that is what they look like right?

-Learned to skip, it is so funny.

-Can dance to music for and hour!

-Starting to throw CRAZY tantrums.

-When he is mad at me, he does things on purpose...turns off tv, empty's drawers, spits on floor,ohhhh!

-If he gets in trouble he says he bonked his head and needs a kiss, as to distract me!

-When we are driving he likes to point out when we go up or down, motor cycles, buses, and trucks.

-He can say almost all the colors, but can't pick them out, can count to ten too!

Well well well...

If you noticed that my baby tickers now have 2 weeks added onto them. I don't want to talk about it. That is what you get when your doc only has seen you once your whole pregnancy and you get a different nurse every time you're there. They think they know when your last menstral cycle was...because they were there? Oh well! The baby is measuring ahead of this date, but my belly centimeters aren't. So they feel more comfortable leaving it back. Geeesh...this means that my children have a very high chance of having their birthday on the same day, or a day apart! Does anyone have that in their family? Do you think it will stink?

Our Halloween Party...

On Halloween night we had a costume party. It was super fun and super crowded. I wish I would have got pictures of everyone, but my camera was full. We had a yummy fall dinner. Homemade soup and bread. Lots of yummy side dishes and waaay too many treats. Thanks for a great night! And we were a turtle family if you couldn't tell.

Ward Halloween Party!

2 Pumpkin Patches!

We did 2 different patches this year. And still ended up getting our pumpkins from the grocery store. (Food stamps cover pumpkins lol!) The one in Morgan Hill was amazing. 2 train rides, a touch and feel path, merry go round, cafe, flower garden, corn maze, haunted house, everything! Markie was most concerned with the big train of course. Amanda was there for one of them. That made it much more fun.

Aunt Amanda and Baby Austin...

DeLoys sister Amanda and her adorable baby Austin came into town to visit us. It was so much fun. Markie loved his cousin Austin. We spent a day in San Fran. It is always an adventure. My mother in law sent a new horse, that makes noises, and moves, for Markie. He loves it so much. At first he was a little hesitant. I think he thought it was real, but now he has a new friend. He likes to move his mouth like the horse does.

Markie's Cuz Austin!

Preschool!

A few months ago Some friends and I started preschool for our little ones. They get together every Monday for an hour and a half. There is always the same schedule, just different topics. They have free craft (play dough, color, ect., craft time, circle time, lesson, a book, and a new letter of the alphabet each week. Theyhave these cute little cubbies to put their stuff in, Markie loves it. He can even make the sounds for A B C D and E! And it is a nice little break for us moms to drop off our kiddos.

Markie's Skills...

So when we have an evening as a family we make the most of it...wrestling, working on ugly faces, and crying. That's us in a nut shell.

Round 2!

Thanks to everyone who voted last week!!! It worked. Brandon made it through to the second round. So if you could vote again this week that would be wonderful. I guess they only put new pics of the models in the newspaper and not online. Which kind of stinks! Oh well, here is the site www.lvrj.com

Favor Pleeease....

To all my blogger friends out there...if you could take a minute and vote. My older brother Brandon is in this modeling competition trying to kick start his singing career and to win money for school. The Las Vegas Review Journal is putting it on. He needs people to vote for him. There are 8 boys and every week they get a new picture put on the website and in the newspaper. Due to votes a contestant will be eliminated every week. And then the judges pick from the last 3 standing. So every week he needs to be voted for. Thanks a million! If you go to http://www.lvrj.com/, then click on fashion, scroll to image, on the left hand side it will have a picture of a girl model, click on the highlighted word. It will take you to pictures of all the contestants. There is also a video interview with each person. Then click the circle to pick his name, then push vote. You can only vote once from each computer a week. I already tried. Thanks!!!

Six Flags!!!

DeLoy did the cutest thing and surprised Markie and I with season passes to Six Flags for 08'. We can use them for the rest of this year too. It was soo much fun. They have so many rides for little guys like Markie. Half is a theme park and half is an animal kingdom. It is like sea world. They have a whale show, a dolphin show, sharks, lions, zebras, giraffs, monkeys, everything. And for Halloween the little kids got to trick or treat at every ride. I think that was Markie's favorite part. It was super fun to see Markie scream on some of the rides. Mean us. Thanks DeLoy for the fun day and gift!

Take me out to the Ballgame!

This is an old event, but I am finally catching up. In September we scored tickets to a Oakland A's game from a friend (thanks Maryanne!) to the best box in the house. It had 4 different kinds of meals, endless drinks, and icecream. It was right behind home plate. We went with some of our best friends, the Shipleys and the Clines. Markie loves watching sports sooo much! It doesn't matter what the sport is, he will just sit and watch it. It was so much fun.

Baby Bump!!!

Wow, it has been a loong time!! Well, we are having a boy! we are so excited. My mom was here to find out and that made it fun. We are 2 for 2. I have lots of names picked, but everyone hates them. Oh well. Too bad I am the one pushing this baby out..so it is my choice. LOL. I am six months. And feeling pretty good. We have been traveling and playing like crazy so I will put picks on some time soon. OH, and all my sisters and sister in laws are prego but one. So we took some fun pics, here they are. And it is really sad that my sister is three months ahead of me and we are the same size. I still love you Nicole!
