Wild Things

Keith and Cole LOVE the story, "Where the Wild Things Are". I don't really understand why, but they do. For their birthday (more on that later) honorary Aunt Debbie brought them Wild Thing capes and a video of the story being read. Let me tell you, I've literally seen that 10 minute video 3,000 times in just 6 days.

Last night Cole was begging to watch it. Since I hadn't let him watch it all day, he thought he would try Brent when he got home. Normally, this tactic works since Brent is the most monumental marshmallow known to man when it comes to his children...

The conversation between father and son went like this:

Cole: "Watch Wild Things?"
Brent: "No, buddy."

Cole: "Watch Wild Things!" "No watch football!"

What does that tell you about our house and my husband? Technically, Brent was trying to find the World Series. But it's rare that anything besides football plays on our TV between Labor Day and New Years Day. Even little Coley knows that by now. Brent's concerned that Cole will begin to resent football and hurt his chances of future stardom. I'm not worried. I fully expect to have a house full of football fans while Ally and I hit the mall.

Sweet Thing

Is there anything sweeter than a Father and his daughter? I love this picture. I know I'm a bit behind but I'm finally posting pics of Ally's blessing from October 25. It was a very busy and very good day. We had lots of family come for her big day and Brent gave her a very beautiful blessing. Perfect for a beautiful little girl.


















I wish we had a better family pic than this one, but the boys did not want to stop the backyard games for a photo session and Ally was hungry. Bad combo. I'm hoping someone in the family got a better pic than we did.
















Amid all the chaos at our house, Brent was put in charge of feeding the boys. Imagine my surprise when frosted brownies were at the top of the menu for two hungry boys still dressed in their Sunday best. I was thrilled to remove chocolate stains and lasagna sauce from their new white shirts.














Evidence of Cole's brownie-fest remain on his cheek as he gives his sister loves.














Overall, it was a great day. Thanks to all who made the effort to come.
