Rhett Turned 2

Rhett is 2. He has mostly overcome his screaming addiction and is a lot of fun. He can say and do anything. He is so polite. He says "excuse me" and "thank you" a hundred times a day. He loves balls, animals, oranges, and keeping up with his older siblings. He is our most lovey of all our kids and we love to snuggle him.

Christmas 2012

Merry Christmas

Rhett scored a basketball hoop for his ball obsession.
Chloe got a doll house and a nutcraker.
Luke went crazy over his Wii. Our first gaming system and we all love it.
The whole family plays all the time.
Christmas day.
Happy Birthday Grammy! We were glad we got to spend the day with you.

Broken Everything!

December was the month of inconvinecnes. Kyle hit a deer so we were down to one car for 4 weeks! Super bummer, but my friends bailed me out and drove me and my kids around. Then Chloe broke her right arm. Good thing she is left handed. She was just running and tripped in our basement. Reminds me of myself.... I broke my arm when I was little when I fell of a 12" wall.
The smallest fall ever!
 
Of course Kyle was on call the night Chloe broke her arm. Luckily we had borrowed a car and my dear friend Ali came over to stay with Luke and Rhett. While we were gone Luke pulled out his own tooth. Tooth #5! Way to go Luke. Sorry I missed it.
Chloe's first cast. We decorated it very well. She had that for 2 weeks, a pink one for 2 weeks, and a splint for the last 2 weeks. She was a trooper!
Bathing was a treat......
Chloe's first dance recital, yes with a cast. She was very graceful.
Miss Katie her dance teacher.
The first snow in STL. Only a few inches, but we will take it!

November News

Taking a nap with dad!
Chloe's Thanksgiving preschool festivities.
Laundry day. They all decided to run around in Kyle's shirts.
Cutting down our Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving.
Fun breakfast. Painting bread with food coloring in milk. Then you toast your art and eat it.
I stole this clever idea and it is super fun!

Family Pics

Once again Ali and Josh have given us some great family pictures. Thank you so much.









Grandma

We had a blast with Grandma! We did the whole Arch experience.
 We were in pod #5. All of us just barely fit. Don't do this is you are claustrophobic!
 Chloe and Rhett enjoying the view.
 We even went a Riverboat tour on the Mississippi River. Grandma taught Luke how to spell Mississippi. Thanks Mom;) As if Luke doesn't talk enough!
 We even did the zoo in the cold weather. We didn't let the cold stop us from having fun. Thank you mom for a wonderful trip. We did so many fun things. I am still trying to catch up on sleep!

Halloween Habits

Every Halloween Season there are some "must do" activities. There is the pumpkin patch, painting pumpkins, carving pumpkins, and trick-or-treating. In St. Louis people actually expect you to tell a joke in order to get a treat. Here are Luke and Chloe's jokes....
Luke: "Why couldn't Dracula play baseball?
Because he lost his bat!"
Chloe: "What do witches put in their hair?
Scare spray!"
