Hubers

A couple of weeks ago we took a family trip to Huber's for pumpkins. Georgia LOVES pumpkins and has for months so it has been really exciting this month to see pumpkins everywhere. We had a really good time. Our neighbors went a few days before us and gave us the heads up that it is colder and more windy there than it is here so we bundled up and I am so glad because it was really cold!

I love this one of my boys!

Georgia really liked the wagon ride to the pumpkin patch. I love this photo.

As always there are more photos than this on Facebook. It just takes so long to upload them to the blog!

Georgia is 2!

Georgia turned 2 on September 22nd. We were out of town for her actual birthday so we just celebrated with my side of the family last Sunday (10/4) and I am just now getting around to posting the photos. I wanted to go ahead and put them up so I could post about Hubers next then celebrating her birthday with Chad's side of the family next week when his sister is home from college. Whew we've been busy lately.

These are not in order...I always forget to do them backward until I am half way done and by then I have spent too much time to go back adn redo them. Maybe for my next post I will get the order right...


By the end of her party she was soooo tired. She was playing in her room and when things got quiet I went to check on her and this is what I found.

She still doesn't get the opening presents part but she loved the toys she got!

This is Georgia enjoying her Elmo birthday cake.

She did not like being sung to.

Elmo party!

Deceptively Delicious

Some parents have kids that won't eat veggies. Georgia will eat veggies but I have a hard time getting her to eat protein, especially in the morning. I don't mind giving her sweet breakfasts but I would like for her to have some protein to go with it. Sometimes she will eat it and sometimes she won't. I am so sneaky and tricky that I scrambled an egg, chopped it up real tiny and stirred it into her oatmeal (with brown sugar and half & half, of course) and she ate it all! Victory! She loves oatmeal because Belle and the Beast eat it for breakfast in Beauty and the Beast. Stay tuned for Halloween photos, Georgia is going to be Belle!



For those of you with non-veggie eaters, I got a book called Deceptively Delicious that has some good ideas. I have not tried too many of them (since Georgia will actually eat veggies) but I aspire to. Or you could whip up a veggie cocktail like my friend, Betsy (which I also keep meaning to do but haven't)! What do you all do to make sure your kiddos get what they need to stay healthy?

Peek-a-Boo

Tonight was my first night back to work since before I had Noah. I think it will be good for our family since I am just working one night a week at this point. My parents are out of town this week so my sweet mother in law volunteered to watch the kiddos while Chad and I worked. They gave her a hard time but when we got home Georgia fell asleep and Noah was ready to play. I decided to play peek-a-boo with him for the first time with an old cloth diaper and this was his reaction!
