Winter

Its begining to look a lot like Christmas! Okay so I have to tell you this story I have about buying these snow suits for the kids. Brady and I wanted so get the kids snow gear so they could play around in the snow. Well as everyone knows Christmas is a horrible time of year for having any extra money. So it was looking as though some good jeans and their thick shirts were going to have to do the trick. One night Brady and I were sitting on the couch watching the kids play and next thing you know Cody starts pulling twenty dollar bills out from under the couch. He pulled out a $100's before he was done. To this day we have no idea where the money came from. Needless to say the kids got there snow suits and stayed nice and toasty!

Fall has to be my favorite time of the year. I love the reliefe from the heat the changing colors and even the smell in the air. While we were up at Bradys parents one day we decided to rake up all the leaves in the yard and let the kids play in them. They were all a little hesitant at first but Carlie and Cody soon figured it out but Corie still wasnt about to jump into the pile! Corie did like to rake the leaves though.

This year was the funnest year so far for Halloween. The kids are getting bigger and are understanding the concept of things a little better. Carlie decided that she wanted to be a scary witch so I got online and found her the cutiest costume that had a princess touch to it and she loved it.







The twins on the other hand, well I kind of kept putting there costumes off and Halloween popped up and the twins had no costumes. Again I got online and found two people selling these little dog costumes and they lived really close to eachother so it turned out perfect. Corie didnt like hers so much but Cody loved his.
So I had my scary witch and my two little puppies!!!!

Halloween night Mika and Rylin came out to grandpas house and all the kids got to go together around the block. Of course it started to rain which cut our night short. Corie and Cody were blown away with idea that when they knocked on the door someone was standing there to hand them candy. Corie would just stand there and stare after all the candy was handed out like she was waiting for the second round to begin. As soon as they were back in the stroller the feast was on. By the time we got home we had quite a mess. Wrapers were eaten through candy bars were crushed and the suckers had formed the glue that held the whole mess together!

I cant believe how much Carlie has changed in the last 4 years. It seems like yesterday I was given this beautiful little baby girl and now shes 4 and even more beautiful then I could have imagined. For her birthday we decided to have a party at the park with a few of her friends and of course her family. She had a blast playing on the playground but her favorite part was opening her many presents and eating the special cake that she picked out for herself, which by the way was Cinderella just in case you had any doubt! We forgot the camera but luckily my friend Cath had her camera phone, so there not the best pictures but at least we have a couple. I also wanted to give you a glimpse of the last 4 years so I put together a few past pictures of Carlie for you to enjoy!!!!
