Happy Thanksgiving!

Today I successfully made Thanksgiving dinner! This was the first time since ,I don't know when, that I wasn't running to 50 million places in one day! It was pretty relaxing and with no expectations! The worst part was waiting for the turkey "popper" to pop. I was so obsessed with checking it! I'm glad I didn't open a bottle of wine or else I would have been drunk waiting for this darn turkey! Finally after five hours (thinking it was going to be more like 3-3 1/2)the turkey was done. I had visions that Justin was going to cut into it and it was going to be all dried out like in the movie Christmas Vacation. Thankfully it was real moist and just fell of the bone.
Jake really like the food as you will see. But David I had to spoon feed him, like I have to with most of the dishes that aren't chicken nuggets! After dinner we went to visit my mom. I posted pics of her on her blog. Than Justin was off to work for the night. I turn out to be probably one of the best Thanksgivings this year!

Apples are good!

Moms hold the family up!

Today David was playing in my room while I was getting ready. He climbed on the bed and was playing with the candles that hang above the bed. He was naming who each candle represented. The largest candle he said is my husband Justin. The middle sized candle he said was him and the smallest candle is Jakie. I asked him, " Where is Mommy?" He says, "Mom you are the wall!"

Play-Doh!

Mmmmm, Dinner!

Jake 9 Months!

Happy Halloween! As you will notice David dressed up again like Steve on Blues Clues. This morning he was so excited to wear his Blues costume that I was able to snap a few photos with him in it. But by the time we were ready to trick or treat, he was over it! Jake was a teddy bear! At times people didn't realize that I was holding a child, but holding a stuff bear! He is so cute.
We went to a friends house for a Halloween party. They had a "Tunnel of Terror" that they constructed, containing a lot of cob webs, body parts, skeletons, a fog machine and oh yeah, a gorilla! David wanted to go into the tunnel over and over again, but didn't want to get but 10 feet from this gorilla! He would stand there yelling hello and I loves but wouldn't get any closer. He just loves to be scared. After good eats of hot dogs and chili, we went around the neighborhood trick or treating with our friends Brad, Shelly and daughter Audra. David really got into it this year, but he got so confused at times withso many people that he would go up to anyone and say, "Trick or Treat." It was cute. We later met up with Nanny and Billdy and Papa and Grandma.
