Christmas Cookies!

Thanksgiving weekend...headed to the cities since Daddy was pheasant hunting in ND. Did some shopping Friday, then celebrated Grandpa's birthday. Saturday we made Christmas cookies all day long. Blake had fun helping out. Great Grandma Wanda made him this super cute apron and he wanted it on all day!

Choo Choo Train

Daddy set up his Choo Choo train tonight and Blake got the hang of running it quickly. He is starting to love trains!!

Time for the Christmas Tree

Yes I caved in and put our tree up last night...I was getting sick of all the pumpkins and really love having a tree up. Won't be putting the ornaments on til sometime this weekend, but just wanted to get the lights on now.

Daddy time

Sunday Eric hooked up the Playstation2 and sat down with Blake with a race car game. Blake liked it so much he wanted his own controller and brought his chair over to sit next to daddy. He didn't really know what he was doing but had fun anyways.

Fun hat time

Daddy has a funny hat, and Blake wanted to wear it last night. It was just odd seeing him with such long curly hair...hahaha!

18 Weeks!

Here I am...18 weeks pregnant. Almost 1/2 way already!! 2 weeks from today we find out if Blake will have a baby sister (what we're hoping) or a baby brother!

Sauerkraut

Eric made a sandwich tonight with sauerkraut in it and Blake wanted to try some. Here he is going in for a bite. Eric gave him some of the kraut and he really liked it!

Yoga before bed...haha

Happy Halloween!

Blake and I headed to Apple Valley for Halloween this year. We carved pumpkins with Grandma and Grandpa (Anton) and then went Trick or Treating with my friend Melissa and her 2 boys, and Zibby. Blake loved trick or treating!

Trying to make a pumpkin smiley face

Holding the "shovels" was about as close as he would get to the pumpkin guts. He did not like how icky the insides were!
