ol kris kringle

i am ol kris kringle, i'm the king of jingling. jingle, jingle reindeer. through the frosty air they'll go.:

we took our two little babes to see santa

 at the mall a few weeks ago.

nora was in awe of him

& 

kayl wasn't interested at all.

my mom told me that she has a picture

very similar to these.

of my brother spencer & i.

i guess he didn't like santa either.

i guess the love for jolly ol' saint nick

 is something that comes with time.

i am loving that nora is into 

Christmas this year. 

she is always saying , "it's Christmas!" 

its simply wonderful.

they're the fastest 

deer i know.

teeny tiny halloweenie

the witches fly across the sky,

the owls go "who, who, who",

the black cats yowl,

& green ghosts howl:

this year's halloween was great!
nora was terrified at our church party,
but warmed up to the idea of trick or treating by halloween night.
she was in complete heaven going door to door with
jack & janie.
she said "trick or treat"
&
"thank you".
{i must be doing something right}
she also said,
"this is cool, hu?"

bkayl was along for the ride.
he is such a little trooper & most always in a great mood.

i made their costumes in one day...
only because i procrastinated to the last minute.
never.again.

on to the photos.

my little tinkerbell checkin' it out.


peterpan clung to my hip.


little miss janie as tangled's rapunzel.

baby ben as a little bat.

jack the fireman.

ellie as a punk rocker skeleton.

chloe as another punk rocker skeleton.

& crew as a baby skeleton.

something or someone scared her

& it was all down hill from there.

halloween night: trick or treating

tinkerbell

peterpan

can't wait for next year's festivities.

happy halloween!

scary halloween to you!

cheers to blogging.

there are far better things ahead:

im really stinking it up these days in the blogging department.

i have a gazillion posts to do.

here is one photo of my baby boy.

{thanks to jessie}

i am biased.

i think he is the cutest boy.

i have been blessed tremendously with two

healthy, happy, beautiful children.

& a handsome husband.

hopefully i will start blogging

about them more regularly.

than any we leave behind.

friday

friday, friday, friday is my:

its a quiet friday for me.

my mr. mcphee is on his way to lake powell

to photograph a wedding

&

bring home the bacon.

i really appreciate him.

&

the beautiful offspring

he helped me create.

my cup runneth over... with love.

favorite day.

nine monther

you have brains in your head.

you have feet in your shoes:

what!?

baby kayl is nine months today.

how this is possible, i don't know.

he has two bottom teeth &

four that are trying to make their debut on the top.

he occasionaly will sleep through the night...

{i dont have the heart to let him cry it out yet.}

he doesn't like baby food,

so his diet consists of whatever we eat.

he is the master crawler

& isn't showing signs of being too interested in walking...

i'll take it!

{this list could go on forever, but i just dont have the time this morning to sit at my computer.}

he is the sweetest boy.

& possibly the most handsome little guy i know.

we love our baby kayl.

you can steer yourself

any direction your choose.

lets talk county fair

isn't it great, that i articulate?

isn't it grand? that you can understand

i don't snort, i don't eep, i don't even squeak or squawk:

mr. mcphee & i set out on a thursday evening

with our two little babes intow

to see the animals & wonderful folks

of the san juan county fair.

i put my germaphobia aside

&

had a wonderful time with my mcphees.

nora was an aboslute joy.

she was also in absolute heaven.

animals have been her "thing" lately

& the county fair did not dissapoint.

bkayl was the best little guy.

he just bejorned & soaked it all in.

{pre-game photos}

{bkayl had the chills... hence the funny looking hair}

{nora in pure amazment}

$5.00 pony rides.

just what my little tiny would love.

she was super excited while we waited in line.....

but

her nerves got the best of her

&

she opted to pass on the pony ride.

so bkayl happily took her place.

he seemed to love it.

{& obviously so did i, i couldn't stop smiling.}

innocence is bliss.

my little tiny not diggin the chickens.

thats my girl.

the three prize turkeys had just gobbled at her

right before this photo.

she about jumped out of her skin.

paul & i laughed.

onto the rabbits...

much more enjoyable than our feathered friends.

my guys admiring all the lights.

we didn't ride any of the carni rides.

nora wasn't too interested.

when she was done looking at the animals she would kindly say,

"bye chickens"

or

"bye sheep"

or

"bye pigs"

or

"bye rabbits"

& that was our que to move on.

the rides worked just the same.

"bye train", "bye slide"...

i'd say that our first mcphee

county fair experience was a success.

until next year.

when i wanna say something,

i open up and talk,

i can talk! {charlotte's web- wilbur the pig}
