Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! We had a great Thanksgiving and we hope that you did as well. I have SO much to be thankful for and this year is no exception.

We spent Thanksgiving day and today (Friday Nov 26th) at GiGi and G-Max's house with LOTS of family. Josh's family, and when I say family I mean the WHOLE family, always gets together for Thanksgiving and with only a few missing this year we managed to fill up the whole house with love and laughter. I love the feeling of having family around, it is always nice to just soak in all the love that a family brings. Blake LOVED being in the mist of all of this, he didn't miss a beat. He played football with the big kids and played in the leaves with the little ones. In his little sweet voice when he went to bed tonight he said "I want to do that again" when I asked if he had a good time playing with all his cousins?

I thank God everyday for the life he has given me I am truly, truly blessed in so many ways!

Here are the little ones playing in the leaves:

My REALLY BIG Boy Bed!

This past weekend we moved Blake from his toddler bed to his "Big Boy" bed. He was SO excited about it and loves to just hang out with his animals on his bed. We also had a visit from DeeDee this weekend and Blake has LOVED having her here and they have had a lot of fun!

Here are a few shots from the past couple of weeks:

"Cheesing" for the camera!

Happy Halloween

It has been an eventful past few weeks.....Blake came down with a "fever virus" a few weeks ago that stuck around for about a week, then was hit with the croup, NOT fun at all!! I ended up with the same virus a few days into Blake's and that was just a pain! We made it through with only one trip to the ER, a VERY long night. We have all made a recovery and daddy has manage to escape the virus as of now (knock on wood).

Blake would not have anything to do with his Halloween costume this year, so we spent Halloween at home passing out candy. We did manage to get some cute shots of Blake with the pumpkin daddy carved.

We went to Niven's apple orchard to pick out a pumpkin..what a GREAT place.

Gigi and Blake made Halloween brownies which were enjoyed by all!
