Helping around the house

Our little boy is such a big helper!

He may be little and just sit there, but he goes out to the garage with us...

and helps us stack wood!  

Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving 2012!!!

A new addition to the family this year always makes things fun.

J played while mom and I set up the table.

Then the rest of the family showed up.  My littlest cousin and my grandfather cuddled up on the couch in front of the fire.

J played with his great uncle.

And my cousin,

Then we changed him into his Thanksgiving outfit!  I thought it was so cute when I saw it that I just had to buy it!

There's our long table filled with great family.

And J even had his own spot at the table this year, it was just filled with toys instead of food.

and after the meal it went to time for games!  J played with Preston and his new toy Grammie Jones got him that signs!

It was a great day filled with family and fun!  J's first Thanksgiving was great and it is hard to believe that before I know it we will be spending our first Christmas with our little bundle of joy and getting to experience all the excitement of Christmas with a baby in the family!

A busy weekend!

We had a busy weekend this weekend.

Not only did Ryan come home Thursday evening

Friday night mom, gram, myself, and Jason went to my aunt and uncle's house for a little get together. 

Cousin Love <3!  Isabella just loves holding Jason especially when he is happy, since he usually is fussy when she has him.

Saturday, Jason and I chilled at home while Ryan went hunting. 

We relaxed in the sewing room while I got a little sewing done.  Since I realized that none of the three of us have stockings for Christmas I need to get busy.

Then Jason went to Nana and Grampa's while I went grocery shopping

Sunday morning,

We went for a walk.

And Monday,

Ryan got his deer!

Jason liked to hold onto the horn of the deer.  He didn't even want to let go after we finished taking a few pictures. 

And we went shopping with Nana!

And Jason helped Nana pick out a new bed!

I think they like this one the best, this looks like a good time!

And he was such a big boys sitting at the kitchen bar,

and watched me make bread!

And while I made bread,

J played!!!!

Atleast he looks like he was having fun!

An attempt at family pictures!

So we attempted family pictures the other day!  

It sure was a lot of work.

and Sophie didn't cooperate

We took many pictures.

and still no good ones.

And now Jason is to busy looking at Sophie

And this is priceless, Jason looking at Sophie.

I think I have 25 pictures of our family and maybe only 1 good one, I guess that's life!

First day of Hunting......What to do!

Saturday was the first day of hunting season.  So little man and I needed to find something to do.

What shall it be......

We played in the new jumperoo we got that mom just got cleaned and dad just got put together.  

Mom washed all my diapers and clothes and had a nicely decorated clothes line.  

Okay, so I really liked my jumperoo!

We laid on the floor and talked at Great Grammy's house!

And we played on the floor together.

We read books,

Went for a walk,

Helped dad hang our house number, when he took a short afternoon break before hunting!

And the next morning, more snuggles with Great Grampa!

Oh how we love relaxing weekends with time to enjoy with our family!

Trick or Treat

That's right!  

Little Man's first Halloween!

He was dressed and ready, my little pumpkin just looked so darn cute!

His Halloween outfit he got the wear for the day.

My little Monkey!  He made it in the costume for about 10 minutes but it was worth it.
