Halloween 2009

We went to Lubbock for Halloween. Colin was Prince Phillip (a knight), Kaden was Jack Sparrow (a pirate), Katharine was a fairy, and Victoria was a disney Princess :-). We trick or treated in Lakeridge, Grammy and Big D's neighborhood. Big D is really sick, but he was glad to see all of us, and see the kids in their Halloween costumes :-). The kids did great trick or treating. Didn't try to go into people's houses this year! Good grief! Everyone made a haul, and had a ton of candy. When they were done, they wanted to go back to Grammy's and Big D's to hand out candy. So we did. Kaden must have thought we were slow, because he ran down to the side walk and yelled, "We have candy at this house! Come trick or treat here! We have candy at this house!" We all died laughing! Colin and Katharine joined in trying to recruit trick or treaters to Big D's :-). It was a great time! We always have fun trick or treating at Big D's house!

Colin receives his first love letter

Colin told his Daddy that his little girlfriend had given him a letter. This is the same girl he is "engaged" to :-). He promptly pulls an envelope with a purple cut out heart out of his backpack. She even wrote his name on it! He can't hardly write his name! She followed us out to the car today, and wished Colin a nice weekend. So cute!

Victoria's First laugh

Victoria laughed for the first time today! It was adorable! She laughed a few times in a row! I can't believe how fast she is growing and developing! She is all ready laughing! She is so sweet and patient. Very patient. I have to check on her several times when she takes a nap because she will just lay there awake for the longest time before she will cry. Such a good girl! Love her so much!

Get Out of My Princess Bed!

Katharine loves her princess bed. At naptime, I race her to her room and playfully jump in her bed and pretend to go to sleep. She runs, jumps in her bed, and states with great conviction, "Mommy, get out of my princess bed!" Oh, I feel so loved :-)

Colin is engaged!

I picked the boys up from school today, and Colin had some news! Colin: "Mommy, I asked Carly to marry me." Me: "What did she say?" Colin: "She said yes, but when she is a little older." Me: "Wow, Colin. Do you think you will marry her?" Colin: "Yeah, I trust her." I can't believe Colin is engaged! I guess it will be a long engagement! So cute!

Victoria is talking!

Victoria is cooing away! It's amazing that they understand even now, that conversation is give and take. She will coo, I will say something, she will coo back. So cute! She is smiling and so much more interactive at nearly two months old :-). She is sleeping 6 hours at night now. Yeah! Love the little stinker. . .

Oh, Pre-K love

Kaden, Colin, and Katharine met their Pre-K teachers today. The boys ran into the loves of their lives, Carly and Sophie (also twins). Kaden says, "I like Carly. She makes me fall in love. . ." Colin says, " I want to marry Sophie." I say, "Colin, you said you didn't want to get married because you don't want babies." Colin, "Yeah, I'll just marry her a little :-)". Oh my goodness! I can't believe it starts this early! You guys have more game at 4 than your Daddy ever did! So funny!
Katharine did great meeting her teacher, too. No love stories there, yet! I'm hoping she will do well. This will be her first time in school. Also, Kaden and Colin will be in two different classrooms. I'm hoping that will go well, too.
