Party Trains

Carrie invited us to go with her and her play-group to a train exhibit at an amazing mall (everyday I remember another detail of it's amazingness to tell Stephen about, just ask him) near down-town Dallas. It was so neat and Brooks LOVED it. Although it seemed like quite a feat to me to tote our ten plus kids around the mall (ok only six but sometimes I lose count) Carrie is always up for the challenge and I love that about her. She definitely keeps us busy with fun things to do and we love hanging out with our cousins!

Brooks' dream come true, trains everywhere you turn!

This Christmas tree had trains going all around it and Thomas around the bottom.

There was a section with all things Dallas

This is our party train:

baby on the front, twins in the middle, and toddlers on the back, TOOT TOOT!

and a section of all things NY!

Turkey Day in Idaho

Beautiful table full of delicious food and this is what Brooks wants to eat......

popcorn.

I apologize to our fore fathers for his mockery of this amazing holiday known as "TURKEY" Day. Oh well, hopefully he'll start eating some real food by next year.

Thank you grammama and grandpapa for having us at your house, rove rue!

Hanging out with my babes

My handsome, helpful, rough and tumble toddler.
He is saying "Cheese" in this one, he's really intense about picture taking sometimes.

Sissy is our jekyl and hyde, enough said.

I realized when I was bathing her the other day that I haven't taken ANY bath pictures of her, not even of her first bath. So sad, sorry second child.
