Only a few months behind on one - at least Miss E's were only one month late! <a href="http://smilestore.picturepeople.com/PR3/ThumbPage.aspx?e=6961036">Here's the link if you would like to see the proofs</a>. Mr. Q did not enjoy having his photo taken this time. All of the photos, except the last one, were taken on my lap. We couldn't get any of E & Q together! Hopefully he won't be as scared in a few months and we will try again!!Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13040115242038064122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35215436.post-56615044714317586082010-05-29T21:08:00.000-07:002010-05-29T21:14:36.043-07:00Easter 2010<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiouf09-CP60ZMIdjqRfDCwcx4qtQHeu_7GM7mpj1772ffKZSbIbXArJAkI0JWoM4-klTSdeCtjTcRVHjFsF-orTIYzJzPCFurwMdWbgyjnck0vCPb8kfxmEUJG7LEtkUQ0yvyGQ/s1600/q-easter-am-egg-hunt.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiouf09-CP60ZMIdjqRfDCwcx4qtQHeu_7GM7mpj1772ffKZSbIbXArJAkI0JWoM4-klTSdeCtjTcRVHjFsF-orTIYzJzPCFurwMdWbgyjnck0vCPb8kfxmEUJG7LEtkUQ0yvyGQ/s400/q-easter-am-egg-hunt.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476911121483819202" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnOXAhho6OGSIqHg65MOiDalAWKCmXCxbgv_WbQBB4bXibtKu578jHOgqBN5PO7OIMUqhoBTL4esgFQnvPxuwQGwkW2OU_XQCPzLlLwHAjvmjYC9EaJSFf39n29Xsne0epYXa-GQ/s1600/q-easter-am-basket.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnOXAhho6OGSIqHg65MOiDalAWKCmXCxbgv_WbQBB4bXibtKu578jHOgqBN5PO7OIMUqhoBTL4esgFQnvPxuwQGwkW2OU_XQCPzLlLwHAjvmjYC9EaJSFf39n29Xsne0epYXa-GQ/s400/q-easter-am-basket.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476911114296238578" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpeIQlB_Ryz4_fUrCaXFYK64EAUHRG_CYLrBXa1iYVTcahqbATfqRXpms6TAXx1RqpskKKQM5NFvv9lyT8EJlL1dbXbZbORdnec_stTnDmT70jMmqVftqC6rzpyQwMMTestaDUmw/s1600/pest-n-ell-easter.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpeIQlB_Ryz4_fUrCaXFYK64EAUHRG_CYLrBXa1iYVTcahqbATfqRXpms6TAXx1RqpskKKQM5NFvv9lyT8EJlL1dbXbZbORdnec_stTnDmT70jMmqVftqC6rzpyQwMMTestaDUmw/s400/pest-n-ell-easter.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476911103944474002" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqzJC6JEko969rGWw1-CSXN6jytgqYjG89fmT033RlcB1HZ-SUpP_dshuCaPB4iEN6xVttljc6R-wl6sPrvUOeaoNUOUd7LNX-LFI2tMT2dWLgL7vVfCayIdObqG6DMREmk6T1xA/s1600/E-easter-egg-hunt-grn.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqzJC6JEko969rGWw1-CSXN6jytgqYjG89fmT033RlcB1HZ-SUpP_dshuCaPB4iEN6xVttljc6R-wl6sPrvUOeaoNUOUd7LNX-LFI2tMT2dWLgL7vVfCayIdObqG6DMREmk6T1xA/s400/E-easter-egg-hunt-grn.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476911094683026194" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3G2IdK6XFhCPz1UmNt5twgXcV1dQEN9n1fBTynb-Chhz2KRRtw5tBRHA3q_tE15AUTF_LflcwUrAaGL5DvsQDN9U5wQ7Ka18EzgrLLkFdPtI7AssBmpnBsSo-NgL7X2X-31aHDw/s1600/e-easter-am-egg-hunt.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3G2IdK6XFhCPz1UmNt5twgXcV1dQEN9n1fBTynb-Chhz2KRRtw5tBRHA3q_tE15AUTF_LflcwUrAaGL5DvsQDN9U5wQ7Ka18EzgrLLkFdPtI7AssBmpnBsSo-NgL7X2X-31aHDw/s400/e-easter-am-egg-hunt.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476911089875447026" /></a><br />Here are a couple photos from Easter morning. Miss E's favorite part of Easter is the egg hunt - she was tearing around the house searching for the Easter bunny's treasure. Thankfully the bunny thought about how cold and wet the morning was going to be and he hid the eggs in the house this year. Mr. Q was even able to find an egg; after he found his egg, he studied it and played with it... he only needed one! After the kids hunted the Easter bunny's eggs at our house we headed down to Granny's for breakfast and another egg hunt, hosted by Granny. Ellie was in heaven, two hunts in one day!! Uncle S, Aunt K and Cousin L celebrated Easter morning with us at Granny's too!Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13040115242038064122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35215436.post-12726855656676817672010-05-28T19:44:00.001-07:002010-05-28T19:52:37.736-07:00Easter Egg Coloring<div><br /></div><div>We tried a new spinning egg coloring kit this year. E found it at the store and it looked like fun... it wasn't! The thing didn't work right, and the dye that did end up on the egg, came right back off while drying. So, we pulled out the tried and true Dudley's egg tablets and then we waited and waited. It's really not that long of a wait, but for our little Miss E, it's an eternity!! <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKbWHkBGUx77Gt8L_MIulLLnauRkdzbFFmqi3m58bpqwjWQlV4EGIUGTKkvKEA4XFyTOzGIENCbHOG8lNe40y1yDseAsiKBsbwCcRGDcfoL4UGVZBMcveRAceE68hQKzj8LJXsxg/s1600/egg-coloring.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKbWHkBGUx77Gt8L_MIulLLnauRkdzbFFmqi3m58bpqwjWQlV4EGIUGTKkvKEA4XFyTOzGIENCbHOG8lNe40y1yDseAsiKBsbwCcRGDcfoL4UGVZBMcveRAceE68hQKzj8LJXsxg/s400/egg-coloring.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476518134833796530" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 380px; height: 400px; " /></a></div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnHzDb9WkpmjBGFis996GAZkLTS2hFHCBq96Gdk83qUYlDnrKo6IjnJX6Z-YDb71UkUP2cFtUangUWyP_sWOPnacsNKLUrxcK-jgx8D3UsOYzN1-JKQaN4BxjQv_xJsLUS7wz7kA/s1600/egg-coloring-e-n-m.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnHzDb9WkpmjBGFis996GAZkLTS2hFHCBq96Gdk83qUYlDnrKo6IjnJX6Z-YDb71UkUP2cFtUangUWyP_sWOPnacsNKLUrxcK-jgx8D3UsOYzN1-JKQaN4BxjQv_xJsLUS7wz7kA/s400/egg-coloring-e-n-m.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476518164391548562" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZp_3OZmoC5XnqwCpQQKvkEZfnTcNqzATAgLe6a2ygGslZv7RWPmsFKyXqM2X36mPGnsghvi7GXW-B8MV25W5dTMsZ7cQinSkJ1_sBKRriFzRQYIPoItkLm3nAe1l-WV2MC2laxA/s1600/egg-coloring-e-n-w.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZp_3OZmoC5XnqwCpQQKvkEZfnTcNqzATAgLe6a2ygGslZv7RWPmsFKyXqM2X36mPGnsghvi7GXW-B8MV25W5dTMsZ7cQinSkJ1_sBKRriFzRQYIPoItkLm3nAe1l-WV2MC2laxA/s400/egg-coloring-e-n-w.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476518155680608626" /></a><br />This one was sick the week before and after Easter; some kind of respiratory infection and an ear infection in each ear... poor little man!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9eytf4At01thqqmrJofaxI7_FVmgDLR9Moc_-5lsQe5ZlYMqB6a5l0uhK6Z2PWJhlacyJoV6XHUcKIWxuOGwxVptYL7c8OI0-zJq5Be7W21vXSWtzXo_nHwcNPfIwYxp9FkDVvg/s1600/egg-coloring-q.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9eytf4At01thqqmrJofaxI7_FVmgDLR9Moc_-5lsQe5ZlYMqB6a5l0uhK6Z2PWJhlacyJoV6XHUcKIWxuOGwxVptYL7c8OI0-zJq5Be7W21vXSWtzXo_nHwcNPfIwYxp9FkDVvg/s400/egg-coloring-q.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476518148513137970" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></span></div>Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13040115242038064122noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35215436.post-2584635474830921202010-05-28T19:35:00.000-07:002010-05-28T19:43:28.148-07:00Mr. Q at One Year!<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></span></div><br />I took this picture in the morning on Q's actual birthday:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3IiVRX_1wK4kuF3OLnwlsUMlK-L4utW53lto76hAAsyy1Ic79n7W4RH4-PWWwuVlSD_OPTot8qA_IBQPkZuJm3Rsm8c5sw1QIvPXCsii1xJQbVO-kZMSqrGSu7ozAEp-aFLtcYA/s1600/q-at-1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3IiVRX_1wK4kuF3OLnwlsUMlK-L4utW53lto76hAAsyy1Ic79n7W4RH4-PWWwuVlSD_OPTot8qA_IBQPkZuJm3Rsm8c5sw1QIvPXCsii1xJQbVO-kZMSqrGSu7ozAEp-aFLtcYA/s400/q-at-1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476516705862671298" /></a>We also tried getting some photos for our Easter card on Mr. Q's birthday.

They were all very small, and fairly tasty (one of the varieties we planted was really good, the other, not so much!). I think our soil was a wee bit dense, making it hard for the little carrots to grow. We'll try again at the end of summer and see how it goes - any suggestions for loosening up our soil? Any who, Miss E helped me pick our carrots... when you pick 'em all at once, using a shovel to dig 'em up, it's pretty easy!! We ate a few of the carrots, threw the yucky ones away and made the rest into the best carrot cake ever!!

This first is him at 10 Months, the second at 11 months. Mr. Q is such a happy little man. He is crawling around like a pro - the little bugger can really get moving if he wants to, and he usually wants too! He will walk really well as long as you are holding his hand and can stand unassisted like he's been doing it all his life. He could totally be walking, he just doesn't wanna! Q has his 1 year check-up in a couple of weeks so we'll have some current stats soon!</div>Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13040115242038064122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35215436.post-78513200360484936372010-03-18T19:59:00.001-07:002010-03-18T20:03:02.515-07:00Lukey No Likey<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmPktBRhRgKkYu4lk5X1yLAQ5MIlHijeKFbgGoJ9vDrKFNcObCU7J4pm59-9m7LkuWa9qo6zxl1ReycLZwI0rMLotwgx909Kl2KLctXcrFIxfmLEp3OQ4zf9kZ1SyWYcFI7f236A/s1600-h/l-no-likey-kisses.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450175044987175282" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmPktBRhRgKkYu4lk5X1yLAQ5MIlHijeKFbgGoJ9vDrKFNcObCU7J4pm59-9m7LkuWa9qo6zxl1ReycLZwI0rMLotwgx909Kl2KLctXcrFIxfmLEp3OQ4zf9kZ1SyWYcFI7f236A/s400/l-no-likey-kisses.jpg" /></a>Cousin Lukey and his mom & dad came over on Super Bowl Sunday to watch the game and eat yummy food with us, Granny and Miss Kristie & Mr. Gene.

I'm hoping to keep this thing updated a bit more frequently - hoping... Any who, here are a couple of photos just for fun. First up is our new (Christmas gift) bird feeder. This thing is so cool, the birds that eat from it - little yellow bellied birdies - eat out of it upside down! Pest's Auntie and Uncle told us about 'em, so we added the feeder and thistle to our X-mas wish list. It is really fun to watch the birds flock to our sad little tree - somehow they know when it's been filled, like within minutes! As it empties, and there are only two perches left to feed from, the little critters actually fight with each other. Fauna gone wild!<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 355px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 221px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450173252491401186" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8Xtq7jeXcGu4ufai7qIKdMyfMYhyphenhyphen0EktBmn0yZNX1GTqLT3rwHmsoxTl10UiOaqWzpgDEqz8wP2gGZKflxu7eZuODDzR50lAy9SvX_zQ-STXihIxb5R5kW322l-6bCpoPE0QHjA/s400/birds-in-feeder.jpg" /> <div><div><div>These other photos were just too cute not to post - doesn't Granny look like she's having fun?<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 204px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 318px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450173277455480210" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilGMbzEISn3zUJ_kblmhF8UErzlxsPqg-gLdEgfdGxo6XktUQyV-7CF3ipsZCdM5Ew5ZHRJLsBZBuIbn42NwpCKyHedDXCCJNoOHwzkIlHT8AUgDG0lStLQQtrKXVXYKw93QnW8w/s400/kids-in-wagon.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 314px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 245px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450173265326276706" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPQvb7DRRPoS192SkZK_yMqWIB7LyuSPlh-40RDdhsHoFppqZh1XZ0q4pVfOg7N8ZbS4jyAkL24kG1n9_k2ljCvNW2NcVJtFIA3xbn8ykZoNKMxDTisHgMO5y-iQWwm4IqKMasxg/s400/granny-pulling-wagon.jpg" /></div></div></div>Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13040115242038064122noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35215436.post-87840322523665888332010-01-05T16:41:00.000-08:002010-01-05T16:45:02.603-08:00Happy New Year<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNQpan-kxlQrIuk_TV-BrQR-w7nVXJR_O-ikhYTiOJbU-lHJwaIiGFI0lIBZ3si3oAA4BcHme64X9hboFtNkOIiDFyCd8ent-L12pQnZCcOY6Rw6MXxhT7MWCcLOpc4BOpuXgtHA/s1600-h/new+years+10.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 380px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423421108433546098" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNQpan-kxlQrIuk_TV-BrQR-w7nVXJR_O-ikhYTiOJbU-lHJwaIiGFI0lIBZ3si3oAA4BcHme64X9hboFtNkOIiDFyCd8ent-L12pQnZCcOY6Rw6MXxhT7MWCcLOpc4BOpuXgtHA/s400/new+years+10.jpg" /></a>Hooray for 2010... Let's all have a good one! We celebrated the new year in style: baths for the kids, some horn tootin' and some entertainment provided by Miss E and her awesome hop-ball skills! Mr. Q did help Pest and I ring in the new year, he made sure that we stayed up well past midnight and serenaded us with some crying, burpin' and tootin'!!!Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13040115242038064122noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35215436.post-16407565199329545762010-01-05T16:01:00.000-08:002010-01-05T16:24:19.523-08:00Christmas 2009We had a nice Christmas Eve day up on Palomar visiting with the Idahoans and Beppe & PopPop! The kids had a blast running around and even went on a hike with their dad's and PopPop. After their hike they had to hunt around the yard for their gifts from Beppe! Miss E was extra excited during our visit because her cousins brought their dog Izzy with them - happy, happy, joy, joy!! <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423413775898804242" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8HGj6qvxeLNt6z_Eh1hoioT9ZkevZo_Bg_ZAgKdBNBuSi15uCQaIXnCQgpfK68Z7p6puYHWtE9YhDBeJI1Rh4mknH0b4fupq3wpoF12p3YyvCk0u3dSJ6JcMN1OY3taMrqgKAYQ/s400/7+up+grid+cube_edited-2.jpg" />We got home in the evening, got everyone bathed and jammied and then put out the fixin's for Santa. Miss E decided that he needed a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, a yummy cookie and a mug of cran-apple juice. We also had to include 9 slices of apples for his trusty reindeer, including Rudolph! It seems Santa & his reindeer enjoyed their treats, only a sip of juice and a bit of sandwich remained!<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423413785683249570" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_LUNwOC8UjkpCpS8tsDKExyFPd-JurjhTvkQ6w4bSmStgdzldhIZrh1uiUjr5_qQzM_LHlqnZCnNuJFFYYiFnTh0g-RGwgVvjjOr_jdUmZ3i-cncqyi2QAjZ3z4OmwMjBaMwIUA/s400/goodies+for+santa.jpg" /> <div>Christmas morning was spent with Granny, Uncle Cotty, Auntie Kass and cousin Lukey. The hit this year with Miss E was her Monty the Dinosaur - her most wished for gift and what she asked Santa for when we visited him at the mall. It was a flurry of activity in the morning and then some quiet time in the afternoon, well, as much quiet time as you can get with the many noise making toys all going at the same time!!!

Miss E was just a bundle of energy all day (and the eve of)! We carved pumpkins in the morning and then went to Granny's neighborhood for trick or treating and photos. Cousin Lukey, Uncle Cotty and Auntie Kass celebrated with us too! Miss E was a pretty purple kitty and Mr. Q & Lukey were festive in their skeleton pjs! Miss E wanted to start trick or treating right after pictures, but it just wasn't dark yet. Torture!!! We were able to hold her off until just after 6pm and then headed out. She had fun snooping into the neighbor's house and trying to take their dogs as treats! She had a full bag, and some very good candy, pretty quickly, so we headed back to Granny's so she could hand out candy. Miss E took her job seriously, never leaving the front door, and often meeting the trick or treaters in the front yard!!! She had a blast and Mr. Q loved being out and about while we were trick or treating (he even scored a few candies... yeah for mom and dad!!).<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399235735082268786" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg98bp8sLACzSUTIVEek6flZElk-ofPlT-y4FFGpVqn-CIlrBUCSFlOHQp7_s7GxZqRzE9LvdFDuCGRgH7XFhMWLuwvK_4fS3QC1OhmkYp85gBtTsDLiZjqAvYgDb86Mt7lcgIL4A/s400/edit+low+res+IMG_1843.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399235730630951202" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_ld5ueBHd6cil6qcYfc-oR4mrht5jL6SeaK7eJyWXX4FSgbvCsopzbixMeqlpnA7Pxd-4key2s929lPwkmRGYgp6dzsc1exrR2XdUk5e8-0TxKuJSvbe-uacQfHT4kNDLXq_V_A/s400/edit+low+res+IMG_1836.jpg" /></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13040115242038064122noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35215436.post-89714011212487378322009-11-01T12:26:00.000-08:002009-11-01T12:27:55.604-08:00Pumpkin SconesWe tried these this morning for breakfast and they are really good, and really easy:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.cookiemadness.net/?p=5060">Pumpkin Scones</a>Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13040115242038064122noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35215436.post-74392185387156051922009-10-21T20:36:00.000-07:002009-10-21T20:47:22.695-07:00Pumpkin Patch 2009<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLB1dHOlmNx2UZxZ9ryVGVGu981ZxRv3xqxaFkRZ0H-ud51XxWpRXvkjjlclHw-zR3ykrjy9g5HIUcuUh7UKj_oz9fiXb-kEbDe7NUiVPtKElHQn6zF6LqPlRl5-qi9q4jeGPosQ/s1600-h/pumpkin+patch+4.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 380px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395265409779487122" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLB1dHOlmNx2UZxZ9ryVGVGu981ZxRv3xqxaFkRZ0H-ud51XxWpRXvkjjlclHw-zR3ykrjy9g5HIUcuUh7UKj_oz9fiXb-kEbDe7NUiVPtKElHQn6zF6LqPlRl5-qi9q4jeGPosQ/s400/pumpkin+patch+4.jpg" /></a>We made it to the pumpkin patch this past Sunday. Granny came along and we met up with Lukey, Uncle Cotty and Auntie Kass. Miss E had a blast - the pony rides and petting zoo held top honors with her. It was so fun to watch her ride the ponies, not once, but twice! <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 380px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395265402213831714" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjETlsKfkwrfhwXirty1H0uxFD_gM1AkRBN1Oxkn522q2uX_y16vt-5WdLVJUqo4BXSk_oW_q8ekiczSVe1dyPjbI8K0baSJ8njkaxocprZR7fEqrOuUkjYqosuoPhyphenhyphen0uHSpBKhWw/s400/pumpkin+patch+3.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 380px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395265393990776962" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLfpzcu6bOegE6XjtO6LG3WvxXkgjI7mvagq9cAUBiogMR444Ikul6f-mzjPWZ74ujFomh4OAAWBqGr2muriwFIM5WfK9Zjl7qh7-MWnSYOHSmSScleSxfa4Yu3roEglrs3JYZew/s400/pumpkin+patch+2.jpg" />My fav was seeing my kids standing next to the growth chart. We've got 3 years of photos of Miss E and now 1 of Mr. Q; it is so fun to see how much she's changed (frightening too!!). We watched the pigs race again this year... they were a little hung over from whatever Saturday night partying they did and weren't too feisty, but entertaining just the same! Unlike past years we skipped purchasing our pumpkins at the patch - they were just too pricey... thankfully the grocery stores have 'em for some pretty good deals! Halloween is just around the corner, I've got to get me hiney in gear and get Miss E's costume concocted! Keep your fingers crossed!!! <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395265383920951794" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7JNG4vOn2R5GaJgtz1eMjoJOX22_owyUmfEmPoONdIzmOeeYaGYSHY-3Vo74Sn4IAxtTiHKzivzhgBP5FZAjuEBVVlz3rRnvdjL6-_6PNDsWjK8PvdysWx-6zXMXo0y_aS4-Z1A/s400/pumpkin+patch+1.jpg" />Hopefully you can click on each photo grid to see it larger - but, who knows with blogger!Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13040115242038064122noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35215436.post-4959913796590506022009-10-13T20:40:00.001-07:002009-10-13T20:46:49.618-07:00Some Randomness For Ya<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-Ml90G4gqjn4Kdo7WgEzQGy-ghE8ajyveF9XUuu3CSO70DIyujqXWqWkJ8CPeFmvKXHGPR4ceF7cZHcB9VrKSm_3BOGVWA7visBzHptyy25RcOVhOLY4PaJ9bqbakG0IjBNtTpg/s1600-h/post-w-q-e-punkins.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392296948303215570" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-Ml90G4gqjn4Kdo7WgEzQGy-ghE8ajyveF9XUuu3CSO70DIyujqXWqWkJ8CPeFmvKXHGPR4ceF7cZHcB9VrKSm_3BOGVWA7visBzHptyy25RcOVhOLY4PaJ9bqbakG0IjBNtTpg/s400/post-w-q-e-punkins.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh47g9Jit8_QgC8ya1O2mrtneN6fjNYCihw2BBQGpFBU1YLVj_gpjT7EbNknEFrggESEwhHiyJYHkz_pA37CSajd2-DkAmKCI_2q1X-BJd05VG-lMnAVYGzXlN7x_otgiL5jMVdw/s1600-h/post-q-cutie-face.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392296940765939634" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh47g9Jit8_QgC8ya1O2mrtneN6fjNYCihw2BBQGpFBU1YLVj_gpjT7EbNknEFrggESEwhHiyJYHkz_pA37CSajd2-DkAmKCI_2q1X-BJd05VG-lMnAVYGzXlN7x_otgiL5jMVdw/s400/post-q-cutie-face.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZo5VzhBguZMR6r9Ga2iN9nac1LgWsXznKVY7LGukp-aOsBfsoJE9isuL_a9W-PGPN-pZPO9x0OAgzUpNk1cNKtvPu5-k2G_AtZu9ipMGfNN3QdI1UE6cR4WhYXggAR_nrH93lzg/s1600-h/post-punkin-q.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392296930735686786" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZo5VzhBguZMR6r9Ga2iN9nac1LgWsXznKVY7LGukp-aOsBfsoJE9isuL_a9W-PGPN-pZPO9x0OAgzUpNk1cNKtvPu5-k2G_AtZu9ipMGfNN3QdI1UE6cR4WhYXggAR_nrH93lzg/s400/post-punkin-q.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTtkGdX5_ahygKskOYQ72fzkmofKVBe9NNhOunu5WU3J-GKEWBDCLl8Df1e7jgxqRGaU7iTGnS28disUmZDkfABaebS8KbQZb8SX9m0GFU8lzeW8DtWgdl5Pwpr0NbCUQKpCOiOg/s1600-h/post-e-punkin-ead.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392296924816895778" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTtkGdX5_ahygKskOYQ72fzkmofKVBe9NNhOunu5WU3J-GKEWBDCLl8Df1e7jgxqRGaU7iTGnS28disUmZDkfABaebS8KbQZb8SX9m0GFU8lzeW8DtWgdl5Pwpr0NbCUQKpCOiOg/s400/post-e-punkin-ead.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuY4WMNKm3pGqWtcmMXU5vqmaTs1oTDGv8t-xLJlYyxtcj8eKij3PofooYuMGvclbRhDpEk2iZZT8H2Ruit2AT2g4NhJNytJgrPh84W0aQwbkh-pf9xihWeq816-aVh0vb3PXG_g/s1600-h/post-e-n-q-dino-pose.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392296914840532642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuY4WMNKm3pGqWtcmMXU5vqmaTs1oTDGv8t-xLJlYyxtcj8eKij3PofooYuMGvclbRhDpEk2iZZT8H2Ruit2AT2g4NhJNytJgrPh84W0aQwbkh-pf9xihWeq816-aVh0vb3PXG_g/s400/post-e-n-q-dino-pose.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>My computer is attempting to take a dump, so I will be brief about these and just get 'em on here. The kids were cooperative the other morning so I got a couple of photos of them being cute. The other pics are of the kids in their little punkin hats I knitted for them (cousin L got one too, hope to get one of the three of them together). </div></div></div></div></div>Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13040115242038064122noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35215436.post-75421919014652912922009-10-08T21:03:00.000-07:002009-10-08T21:10:55.372-07:00Mr. Q at 6 Months<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbwIiaClDFfgVmodIcns6GEVwlekMIeqZ1eodS9nEMHtqGOpwjZSxMFxdgycF0DNVVaIpIHLDXDem5dkobQ5WgB8XcibiVdCavNlrX9jV8l2g7vQAbCApStRV6jgS1I4ZaOXcjQg/s1600-h/q-walker-2-1009.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390447585526928994" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbwIiaClDFfgVmodIcns6GEVwlekMIeqZ1eodS9nEMHtqGOpwjZSxMFxdgycF0DNVVaIpIHLDXDem5dkobQ5WgB8XcibiVdCavNlrX9jV8l2g7vQAbCApStRV6jgS1I4ZaOXcjQg/s400/q-walker-2-1009.jpg" border="0" /></a>His is officially 1/2 year old... six months has gone by so fast! Isn't it crazy how it seems like forever while your trudging along, but when you look back it just flew by? Any who, Q weighed in at 19 lbs 10 ozs and is 27 1/2" long. His Dr. said that he is in the 80% for both. He's been rolling over for a while now, but has recently figured out that he can get around that way. Still only two teeth on the bottom... with the way he's been teething you'd think he'd have a mouthful!! He's such a happy guy and loves watchin' his sister tear around!!<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390447548940954674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ7I3lDLON_J88DOH2-289zLOvHO_x9UWdaYAVEM-BnaIRoe8jK-pMVVg8TB1eL0tqbZIemt8VOeRZhq-b-N1YERAN6rgf0-M8UNDTjgL0iAzUfiKhY9FgDVhAPT-EgPRjNAfXYw/s400/q-walker-1009.jpg" border="0" />Bethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13040115242038064122noreply@blogger.com1
