Getting the fun started...well...maybe later :)

So it's no secret that with the upcomming superbowl, there is a little rivalry going on in our neighborhood...so we (me & Dave) thought we'd start it off right with a little mischief..

Here's Dave armed and ready to go!!

By the light of the full moon, we crept across the street ready to let all the passer-by's on Highway 66 know who was the best team in the League.

We had a lot of fun!!

Cold and tired (it was around 12:30 or 1:00ish) we crept back to our house...high-fived each other...laughed about how much fun we had...and wondered how we would explain to our boys that what we did wasn't nice...

At about 5am I heard a most terrible noise...the SNOW PLOW!!! NOOOOOOOOO all our precious work had been covered by an inch or so of snow!! Well, not to let nature out-do him, Dave trecked back up armed with a broom (to try to uncover our previous work) and the spraypaint to do any necessary touch ups.

He returned saying it looked o.k. not as good as before, but would still have the desired effect. Back to bed!!

Well...an hour later the snow had started yet again and covered our work...AGAIN!!

**SIGH**

So the moral of this story is either...

...Someone who is in charge of the snow is a colts fan...

...Or if you're going to do something mischievious...check the forecast first...

BUT REST ASSURED...this is not the end...only the beginning Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha (evil laugh)

A great end to the day...

As we were putting the kids to bed...Michael told us the story about Samuel the Lamenite...Thomas asked how many days until the next Family Night...and Robert folded his arms for the prayer.

It's was a great way to end a day...makes me almost not mind the huge mess they all left for me to clean up...almost :)

(P.S. do you all love the new picture on the primary outline as much as I do!! Getting this one for my house!! oh and Lisa...if you're reading this...is it just me or does the little girl in pink look a little like Averie?)

Fortunately...Unfortunately

Fortunately...I spent a good part of my day yesterday putting up a long blog about Robert including LOTS of cute videos...

Unfortunately...Blogger chose yesterday to shut down videos while they work out some bugs...hope they'll be fixed soon!! (because seriously...those videos are stinking cute!!)

11 months old and full of trouble!!

I can't belive my baby is 11 months old...just look at that silly boy!! And his beefy thighs!! (and his LONG hair...it's curly when it is long and wet...just imagine how cute it would be in pigtails! that's why I cut it today for the 4th time!!)

I didn't post his 10 month picture...I think I was in shock and disbelief. I did take it though :)


Going from 9 to 10 months made him seem like not a baby anymore :( I feel a little tug at my heart everytime I tell someone he's almost a year old. WHERE DID THE YEAR GO!!! I still remember how I felt and what I was doing a year ago!! **Sigh, sniff, sniff** Not sure I knew how in love I would be with this boy though!!

He seriously makes us laugh EVERY day!

Here he is playing one of his favorite games..."Peek-A-Boo"

And his new favorite game...covering his ears and uncovering them and lauging at how funny it sounds (see...got his haircut)

He is also starting to become even more mobile...he crawls VERY fast, He can pull himself up and cruise around furniture. walls, cabinets, anything! He is starting to walk a little holding on to our fingers, and has even stood on his own a few times. oh and he's a climber too...I'm in trouble!!


Speaking of which...watch this...



Yep...you heard me right...I'm in trouble...good thing his older brothers taught me how to deal with wild and cunning toddlers!!


He likes eating everything, and everything still goes in his mouth...it's a constant chore to keep things off the floor so he doesn't eat them!


He says Da, Da, Ma, Ma, Wow, Ooohhh, and has a super contagious laugh (that he still shares more freely with his brothers than anyone else)


He is FULL of mischief...he is a pro at emptying cupboards, and has even colored on some walls already

He also has a partner in crime...




(this is so typical...when confronted, Sherry's kids stop being naughty...mine just keep on doing it!)


They have to be contained if you have anything to do but watch them
(oh...and they're NOT watching a movie...I would never show my 11 month old TV)




I do have one problem though...now that he's starting to walk...he's going to need shoes...and HOW do you get shoes on these fat little feet!! (part of it is shadowed...it's really not that wierd shaped on the bottom)




The other day I finally understood why I had Thomas so quickly after Michael...I thought I was crazy, but come to find out...it's just that babies grow up too fast and I wanted another one! I'm so sad that Robert's baby days are over...but this time...I'm not having another one! (not sure how I feel about that right now honestly)


So, please excuse me while I go cry in the corner and plan my last first birthday party **sniff, sniff**

A girl can dream...

Wonder if this comes in my size?

(yay I did it...thanks for the tutorial Jen!!)
