Where did November go?

So apparently I did not take many pictures this month.  I have one and then Thanksgiving. Hmmm... wonder what we did?  I truly am blessed and so thankful for my family.

 

 

 

Jonah had a pack meeting and we got to tour a fire truck!

 

For Thanksgiving we all were in charge of something. Jonah had the cherry cheesecake!

Brian was the waiter for our toast!

 



Mia had Cherry Pie.



 

Mollie had rolls, Amie had sweet potatoes, Benjamin made the chocolate trifle.

 

Micah loved eating the sweet potatoes and potatoes.

 

Cute girls!

 

 

Selfie.

 

We went black Friday shopping on Thursday night and were out until 11pm. Poor baby.. .so tired. I should have stayed home... he's sick now.

 

The girls had fun! 

Lots of Treats... only a few Tricks!

We love Halloween in our family.  This year, I didn't stress too much over costumes thanks to my mom (the hats were perfect) and to the handy dandy internet.  I got a steal on the boys costumes.  How I was going to accomplish Jonah's.... glad I found it.

 

Amie was Edith from Despicable Me

Jonah was a minion from Despicable me

I was supposed to be the Box of Shame from Despicable Me... but I forgot to find a box. 

 

 

 

Russell Ramblings - September 2013

 

 

September flew by.  We started it out with Benjamin's celebration and have ended it with a nasty virus.  But... we did lots of fun stuff in between!

 

Jonah Loving Micah

Amie and Mia started their preschool group.

Micah is EXTREMELY mobile.

 

We visited my Grandma and Robert  (Amie playing a princess party with her).

We went to Dallas to visit with my mom and dad and visited the George Bush Presidential Library

Pieces of 911

Benjamin in the Oval Office

Trying to get Micah to smile.

Super sad to leave them.

 

Once I download the pictures of all of us, I'll get those up too!

Russell Ramblings...

After all the crying, she did have some fun.

I started a business.
