Gobble Gobble 2010

Since Thanksgiving was two and a half weeks ago I thought I should share in our day.  We spent the day at home as a family, as usual I made way too much food – I actually love to cook when I get the chance.  The girls chose to not eat a thing with the exception of rolls.  Logan loved mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, and pumpkin pie as that is all he was able to eat before we pureed it for him.  Unfortunately, we did find out the hard way something in the pumpkin pie does NOT like him.  I felt so bad so I am steering clear of all the spices I used for a while as pumpkin has always been fine-poor little man.

Enjoy the pictures!

Thanksgiving Day, Elizabeth was not camera happy at all.

 

Madison Isabelle – she is the sweetest little thing.

Getting prepared to eat, or not eat in the case of the girls.

 

My handsome little man, love him to pieces!

Elmo, thank you Elmo for helping us clean up.

I beg every year to put the Christmas tree and Christmas lights up before Thanksgiving since I do not get my way it happens in the cold.  The girls think the deer are cows and Brandon loves it so they are mooing here.

Logan helping out and laughing at the girls.

Come on Daddy there’s a lot more to do.

Hi ho hi ho, it’s off to help we go…

The girls LOVE the Christmas tree and wanted to be as close as I will allow.

 

Love to you all!!!! – Amy-Jo

love

 

Say Cheeseburgaler….

That is what I say to my not so little babies for a smile these days and get those oh so cute and crazy grins. 

A few weeks back we had family photos taken by Sarah with Sarah Toth Photography – one of the most AMAZING people you will ever meet.  I am so thankful Casey introduced me to her while I was pregnant because one she really is the sweetest and two I love love love the photos she captured of our family.  Not many people can get our girls to look in the same direction or even be happy or content at the same time these days.

   

It is so hard to choose from the photos of the kids, they show their true personalities in every last one.  Did I mention how great and wonderful these pictures and Sarah are???

Thank you so much Sarah!

Our little piggies

We were not able to get many pictures from Halloween itself of the kids especially Logan as he was not too fond of the day itself.  Here is an overload of our piggies and the days leading up to Halloween.  I’m headed to bed and will let Brandon add captions.

 

“Evil laugh”  All I need now is the kitchen sink and my evil plan will be complete, ooohahahaha!

Logan doing some crunches…1001, 1002, 1003…..Adrian!!!!

Lizy looking calm for the moment.

Man those girls are cute!

She’s trying to get in touch with the E-trade baby for some stock advice, from her cubical.

 

Hi mommy, just getting some work done.

Time for break and a little light reading.

 

I’m cute and I know it!

Now leaving me alone, do I bother you on your thrown????

 

The great Elmo duel is about to begin. 

But not before they make themselves an audience.

We gave up trying to have them sit for pictures, we decided to start gluing them to the wood floors.

Dressed for success.

Madi Belle getting brave and actually touching pumpkin.

Lizy, well, um, ya not so much.  She would have run further if we didn’t lock her in the kitchen.

Logan is ready for his turn.

You missed some mamma.

AWWWWWW!  What great reaction time from the greatest photographer in the world. (sound of patting on back)

Okay but mamma you still missed some.

Sharing is great!

This one is more my size.

NOOOOOO!  Logan’s don’t like getting messy!

Stop that piggy!

Nice Tail.

I hated the idea of these costumes, but I’ll be the first to admit they were pretty darn cute. 

CANDY!

Logan pretty much agreed with me on the costumes.

He eventually calmed down.

And we are off.  5 minutes later we returned.  Longest 5 minutes of my life.
