Getting out of the house

With the business being so insanely busy lately it has been nice getting out the house a couple nights!! We had birthday parties for friends of ours and friends in town through the holidays.

Kobe's art classes

Kobe took 8 weeks of private art classes and I was amazed at how much he learned - his teacher was great!! On their last class she did a fun squirt gun project which turned out really cool!

Silly Kids...

One of her many many many silly faces.

Kobe was "attacked" by Jack and his ketchupy little hands at dinner!

Playing airplane with daddy is a new favorite.

MMMM! Cookies!!

Eating pizza in a big boy chair and get so messy!!

That shirt and those shoes just don't go together...

Such a hat girl...

Some time with Kobes

I don't get to spend tons of one on one time with Kobe so I really cherish it when I do! Last Friday I took the babies to daycare and went to Kobe's school to volunteer - we made landform maps with dough - SO messy!! Then I stayed and had lunch with him and "the guys..." They are so funny and just crack me up - I love going up there!




Tonight I had a photo shoot and took Kobe with me to help make the little one laugh! He is sooo great with little kids. Then we went to this art gallery and they had a self portrait studio where you could draw.

A rough week for Bella

Last weekend Maddie and I spent early Saturday morning in the ER at Lakeside where they diagnosed her with croup - a very scary night for mommy! They did give her a teddy bear that she sleeps with every night now - it was cute. Then I took her in to her doctor this week because the past couple months she has been complaining about how her tummy hurts and so they wanted to evaluate it which sent us to Children's for more lab work and x-rays. Madison did SO amazing both times I was shocked! The good news is that she is fine and that she is back to normal now fighting with her brothers...

Miss Maddie was singing and playing the piano today at my moms - it was ADORABLE!

The Halloween Festivities

The Sunday prior to Halloween we had a trunk or treat at Bellbrook - unfortunately due to the wind most of it was held inside our clubhouse. The kids had fun with our neighbors Truitt (who was also a skunk) and Leland.



Check out this baby - SO cute - he sat there on his nest half the night.


And the annual painting of the pumpkins...
Although Jackson quickly lost interest and found it much more entertaining to watch mommy and nana try to corral him and his paint covered self!








Kobe actually completely carved his own pumpkins this year!



On Friday we had Kobe's Halloween party that Jess and I were room mom's for...


And then we had Nick, Jess and Maren over at night - and of course Carson came too! :) (He and Kobe are attached at the hip).
Kobe helped me make apple crisp!
